About this property
Mugwell Barn is a single-storey detached cottage about a ten minute walk from Luckett on a 7 acre smallholding. It faces away from the friendly owners cottage with lovely rural views. Perfect for couples. Step from the patio through big patio doors into a spacious open-plan living/dining room and kitchen area with wood-burning stove. Throw open the folding glazed doors on a beautiful day and gaze out over uninterrupted wooded meadows, or snuggle up to the cosy fire after a bracing autumn walk. There is a super king-size zip-linked bedroom with an en suite shower-room and glazed doors to the garden. The large patio has garden furniture and you are welcome to explore the gardens which has an unfenced wildlife pond. There are home produced eggs and bacon (when available) and logs. A lovely, get-away-from-everything place.
Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William. From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound.

The only thing that we did not like was no secure place for our dogs to play and wonder we had to watch them all the time.

It is in a lovely area with fabulous views, and we were so comfortable. Lyn and David ,our hosts were really helpful and easy to talk to. Our 6 month old labrador puppy came with us and there was plenty of room for her crate and a paddock area right outside the barn where I could walk her. We had a lovely welcome pack too. We haven't finished exploring the area so we would like to stay there again.

We appreciated the welcome pack and found the cottage spotless clean and very comfortable. The cottage was well equipped and well situated for getting about. Our little doggies loved visiting the piggies every morning.
