Once settled in your choice of our Cornish cottages, this historic county invites exploration. Where better to start than Launceston, the gateway to Cornwall, an ancient market town which was once the capital of the old Duchy. It is quintessentially Cornish, with its Georgian houses, narrow streets and market square. Launceston Castle dominates the surrounding landscape - perched on top of a large, natural mound - in a strategically important position controlling the river crossing in and out of Cornwall. All around Launceston the area oozes history and is dotted with villages and hamlets set amid open fields - a delight for the visitor and walker.

On a quiet country lane overlooking a lovely rural landscape close to the Devon border, this cosy first floor apartment makes an ideal base for exploring the delights of Cornwall’s north and south coasts, both of which are only about 20 miles away. Adjoining the owners’ home, with access to their pleasant garden, Ivybank (left photograph - first floor) sits within an easy drive of lovely days out at the picturesque fishing ports of Looe and Polperro on the south coast. Lanhydrock (N.T.) is also 20 miles and on the north coast, the tiny ancient port of Boscastle, and Tintagel village, site King Arthur’s legendary castle ruins, are also well worth a visit whilst, further up the coast, Bude (25 miles) attracts surfers and families alike. The market town of Launceston, with its steam railway and castle, is 6 miles. Shop and pub serving food about 2 miles.
Stairs to first floor: Comfortable open plan sitting/dining room with electric fire and kitchen area. Double bedroom with small ensuite wet room/WC.
