    Excellent location for accessing attractions. Great parking and wonderful owners. In my opinion underpriced. Would definitely book again.

    Thankyou so much for your feedback and choosing to stay at the old cattle barn. It was an absolute pleasure to host you. Glad you all enjoyed your stay And thanks so much for leaving the place so clean so thoughtful of you all. Property Owner

  • "On arrival we access property as per instruction before allowing dogs or children into the enclosedd garden we were utterley horrified to see an enormous pile of dog shit within four foot c from the back door and other piles around the grass area this was extremely upsetting we will be sending a picture of this which had ti be cleared up before letting dogs and children into the garden !"

    ! There was also a very large cobweb in the utility which is still there covered in dead bodies! . Mattresses hard and very uncomfotable not fiit for purpose This all was very disappointing seeing that it was not cheap ! The position of the property was perfect and it was lovely and warm !if we hadnt encounted these issues it would have been perfect The sofa was incredibly uncomfortable and also not fit for purpose !

    Thankyou for your feedback, Sorry you had these issues. I do wish you'd taken the opportunity to contact me directly via the number provided so I could raise these concerns with the cleaners and the previous guests directly. As although the cleaners and grass cutter do clear up any dog mess when they notice it, it is the guests responsibility to clear up after their pets. In sorry you were dissatisfied with the comfort and cost of your stay for 8 guests and 4 pets. Most other guests have found it quite reasonable for the size and being dog friendly. I'm glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay with us. Property Owner

  • "Kitchen was not clean on arrival - soaking wet sponge, mouldy wooden dish drainer, greasy pans and oven, rust in pans."

    Sofa and kitchen caters up to 4. Only 1 small saucepan. Property is great and in great location. Just needs to think of the guest experience.

    Sorry, you felt the barn wasn't up to your standard, however, we did offer to send the cleaners back when you complained but you declined. We do pride ourselves on cleanliness and our responsiveness as can be seen in previous guest reviews. Property Owner

  • "A fabulous clean, warm and comfortable holiday home for 8 people, which is right off the A30 about 10 mins drive from Launceston and the nearest supermarket."

    Because of the very close proximity to the A30 it is ideally located for visiting places around Devon and Cornwall, St Ives being just 1 hour away. Around the house there is wall art with place names beneath, which gave us plenty of ideals of places to visit, which we thought was a lovely touch. The house has a lovely big secure back garden (although there is a low gate around the side, so if you have a dog that likes to discover ways to escape, just be careful, saying that they do have to go around the house to get there). The back garden could do with an outside light though for the dark evenings. As mentioned before, a baby gate on the wooden stairs would be a good idea, to keep dogs from exploring upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped, although another big frying pan would be handy for a large group of people and some more forks. More storage would be handy in the bedrooms too. We had the only wardrobe in the house (ground floor), the two upstairs bedrooms had drawers but the other ground floor bedroom didn't have any storage for clothes and our son lived out of his suitcase for the week. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back to stay again.

    Thankyou Property Owner

  • "Lovely barn conversion very spacious and light."

    Well equipped and dog friendly! Quite central for touring the local area and lovely pub within walking distance which serves very good food! The secure rear garden area is also brilliant for enjoying the sun and eating outside as well as great for our four legged friends! Brilliant having two double bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs for anyone with mobility issues as well as the downstairs walk in shower and w.c. The kitchen is well equipped and laid out with everything you need! We personally found our mattress a little soft as we both need firm to orthopaedic but nothing ever compares to your own bed unfortunately! Maybe a safety gate would be an asset on the stairs for children/ dogs although we improvised with two stools! The locals we met were friendly and helpful, the moors are a five minute drive away and large supermarket ten minutes drive away too. We did notice that some drivers come off the A30 into the village at speed worth bearing in mind if you have young children although the same happen in our local village too! Nice touch was milk biscuits and a bottle of plonk in the fridge! Our weather was nice which obviously helped but two tv’s if it rains ! The main bedroom upstairs is lovely with great views and a very large custom made wooden bed ! Could be problems deciding who has this room lol

    Thankyou. Glad you enjoyed your stay at the old cattle barn Property Owner

  • "We had the most enjoyable holiday in the beautifully converted old cattle barn, the property is spacious with lovely kitchen and bathrooms."

    Great for our family group of 3 generations with dogs. Well positioned for exploring the area and walking in the wood nearby. We can recommend the Eliot Arms a few miles away for excellent food and service. I’m aware the owners are new to renting and will be contacting them to make a few suggestions for some additional items to be added to the property to make a holiday stay even more comfortable.

The 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.
