About this property

The Old Cattle Barn is a lovely, stone-built, barn conversion nestled just outside of the quaint, historical market town of Launceston in Cornwall.

Located within Bodmin Moor and a scenic drive away from the sea, this property offers the best of a nature-filled and seaside holiday for families, groups and furry-friends.

Be welcomed into a stylishly-decorated home with stone wall accents and rustic wooden furnishings; in the open-plan space you'll find a spacious kitchen with ample counter and hob space for those large family feasts, enjoy it all around the dining table, then cuddle up with your loved ones in the sitting room for family movie night. Open up the patio doors and make use of the seating areas in the rear garden during those warmer months, watch the kids and dogs run around the vast lawn or pour yourselves a glass of wine for a late night chat on the bench swing. Ready yourself for a day of exploring Cornwall as wash up in either bathroom before slipping between soft sheets to get some rest. Venture out of your home away from home to pick up some essentials at the nearby village shop or if you don't feel like cooking, head to The Kings Head Hotel for a classic and hearty pub meal. Get to know the local town of Launceston and visit the 1200s English Heritage sit Launceston Castle, head over to Lawrence House, a museum with exhibits on the town's history and for a more thrilling activity, go to Trethorne Leisure Park where you'll find a climbing wall, a bowling alley, a farm with pony rides and more. Drive down to Bodmin, a town steeped in fascinating history and visit Bodmin Jail an 18th-century prison museum with exhibitions and overnight ghost walks, hikers you'll love a nature walk in Cardinham Woods with its vibrant greenery, wildlife and a forested valley, then end the day with a well-deserved feast at the family-friendly Callywith Table Table. The Old Cattle Barn offers a great opportunity to visit the wonders of Cornwall.

The town of Launceston, situated on the Devon and Cornwall border, has wonderful architecture, including some fine Georgian buildings in the central square, and is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle sitting high above the town. You can take a stroll to the Dog friendly Willow Tree Cafe and Woodland Walk or visit the steam train from Launceston through the beautiful Kensey Valley on a 5-mile round trip. Launceston is within driving distance of the seaside resorts of Bude and Padstow to the north, and Plymouth to the south, as well as the stunning Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. A superb base for exploring Cornwall and Devon.
