Kettle's On is a spacious and comfortable cottage in a peaceful countryside setting, praised for its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciated the friendly and helpful hosts, as well as thoughtful touches on arrival. The property is well located for exploring both coasts and nearby attractions.

Overall, guests found their stays enjoyable and would recommend the property.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as very clean and well maintained, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
Guests consistently mention the quiet country setting and convenient access to local attractions, though one review notes a public footpath through the garden and another mentions poor directions.
The property is described as comfortable, spacious, and warm. One guest found the mattress a bit hard, but this was noted as a personal preference.
The cottage is well equipped and spacious, but some guests mentioned limited storage, sockets not near mirrors, and the pool being open only in school summer holidays. Wi-Fi issues were promptly addressed by the owners.
Guests frequently mention a warm welcome with scones, jam, cream, biscuits, and fresh fruit. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

"Character cottages in a countryside setting, ideal for an activity-filled family holiday.
."
In glorious Cornish countryside on the edge of the pretty village of Tresmeer, just 7 miles from Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall, and 10 miles from the stunning North Cornish Coast, Higher Churchtown Farm offers the ideal holiday location for friends and family to escape and unwind.
Set beside the historic village church and with glorious views reaching to Dartmoor, these four delightful converted barns are very spacious and beautifully presented with oak furniture, underfloor heating on the ground floors and heated towel rails in most of the bathrooms. They retain much of their original charm with vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and beams. Kettle’s On is a detached single-storey barn with its own rear garden; each of the others has its own small patio and all enjoy shared use of a large garden area with 18ft circular above-ground unheated swimming pool (July and August only).
For amusement indoors, a selection of reading material is also provided, together with games, puzzles and a 65" smart television. The largest of the barns also has its own games room with pool table, darts and board games. A local artist displays her work in the barns of scenes around Cornwall, which can be purchased and taken home as a memento.
Whether surfing, walking the coastal path, playing golf, fishing or simply relaxing this stunning location has something for everyone. Riding, cycling and walking trails are in abundance including a lovely walk to the river. This really is a superb holiday choice for friends, families or when booked as a whole for a celebration gathering. Launceston has a good selection of local shops, town amenities, and restaurants.
Family attractions include Trethorne Leisure Park and Golf Club, Hidden Valley Discovery Park, Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium. Ideally situated to visit the North Cornwall coastal resorts of Bude, Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac and Padstow. For a great day out, enjoy the famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 4 miles.
The Place 2B (THQ), What a Beauty (THR), Proper Job (THS) and Kettle’s On (TKC) can be booked together to accommodate up to 32 guests.

Lovely accommodation , comfortable beds and sofas. Plenty of space. We stayed in ‘Kettles On’ but the Wi-Fi wasn’t working so we were moved to ‘What a Beauty’and what a beauty it was. But we did love ‘Kettle’s On ‘ with the view of the church.I don’t think you will be disappointed with any of the properties.The owners were very helpful and always there if there was a problem.

We received a wonderful welcome from the owner who provided scones, jam and cream, biscuits and a large selection of fresh fruit for our stay. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for visiting coastal towns on either coast including Tintagel, Boscastle and Fowey.
