“A perfect retreat!”

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and warm and there was a lovely cream tea waiting for us when we arrived. It had everything we needed, (well almost, we could have done with a grater!) We had a couple of days sunshine when we ventured out and about, (suitably masked!) but we also had some rainy days when we just stayed in, nice and cosy, and did a jigsaw puzzle.

“Cottage was very clean and well equipped, really lovely home, and a great base for touring both North and South Devon/ Cornwall coasts.”

Owners lived next door and were very friendly, making sure our stay was perfect. Some nice quiet walks direct from the farm if required.

“We’ve been booking with helpful holidays for a long time now and have never been disappointed with the service or the properties.”

This was our first time at orchard barn and we loved it. Very well situated for exploring Devon and Cornwall. Just 15 minutes from Launceston and an extensive garden centre offering very good food and a surprising variety of other products. The farm shop is very well stocked. Lovely to come back to a very comfortable cottage, but most of all, peace and quiet.

“Just a big thank you to Adrian and Vanessa for making our week in their cottage so enjoyable and always finding time to chat, so despite the inclement weather again thank you, we had a lovely week.”

“The cottage was lovely, very clean and well equipped.”

Comfortable beds and lovely fresh smelling linen. It is worth noting that the towels were also lovely and fresh and good quality (I am always unsure whether to take my own as have experienced poor bedding and towels at some other properties, but this time it was a pleasure to use what the owner provided). Myself, my husband and two children aged 7 and 9 had a great time watching the lambs in the fields and were warmly welcomed by the owners. Lots to see and do in the area within an hours drive, or just stay at the beautiful cottage and relax. The cottage is on a working farm so don’t expect complete silence with the odd tractor and the animals chatting to each other- but this added to a great holiday experience for us and our children. The garden is very well kept but much smaller than the photo seemed to show, which was not a problem but a new more representative photo may be helpful, especially for those with young children expecting space for them to run around (there isnt much)- nonetheless our girls managed to do a few cartwheels and it certainly didn’t let the cottage down.

“Orchard Barn and the hosts were just the best, everything we needed and more.”

Just perfect for a quiet peaceful holiday. Fantastic location to travel to the north & south coasts. Lovely cream tea and fresh flowers to greet us on arrival. Even Jake the dog could not be more friendly.

The property

Around a working farmyard at the end of a farm drive 1½ miles from St Giles on the Heath is this detached cottage.

Beautifully converted from a barn, the accommodation combines modern style with country features such as natural wood and slate and beams, making a great traditional base for families or friends.

The hall with practical slate floor leads to the sitting room with stable doors to throw open on the garden.

The kitchen is smartly equipped with a comfortable dining area.

Head on upstairs to your three comfortable bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

The garden behind the cottage is safely enclosed with a sunny terrace with outdoor furniture, and you are welcome to wander the extensive pretty woodland at the end of the farm drive.

Enjoy walking this spectacular rolling countryside or head to Roadford Lake for more walks, cycle rides and a great range of water sports.

With the location on the border between Devon and Cornwall, this is an excellent location for exploring the area, including Dartmoor and beaches on the North Cornwall coast.

Orchard Barn is a smashing base for experiencing traditional farm life and getting out and about.
