"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.

Arrived on the Friday afternoon ,given the tour by the hosts (lovely couple) lovely welcome pack scones ,jam and shortbread the property is like the Tardis ,massive on the inside with 6 bedrooms 2 massive ones with four poster beds, 3 bathrooms , 2 with large walk in showers and the other a corner bath. Amazing views and large patio area with BBQ and grass communal play area with other lets. 2 games rooms table tennis, gym, pool table football and darts Very peaceful hamlet ,bird life incredible to watch. If you need to chill out on holiday this is the place. Easy access to Tintagle ,Boscastle ,Bude and local supermarkets Tesco ,Iceland ,etc in Launceston. A trip out to make your brain work try Hidden Valley 10min away. Our party was a group of 9 ,7 adults and 2 7-10 year olds the place 2b suited us to the ground and was sad to leave. The weather was amazingly hot which helped out our day trips and chilled out in the evening. Thanks to our hosts who were always available and on hand to show us round the farm ,animals and tractor.
