About this property
Take a break to this charming barn conversion, all on one level, for a romantic retreat or a family holiday and you’ll be able to explore the River Tamar and Dartmoor National Park on a whole host of walks. At the end of each day, you’ll be able to return to your single-storey holiday home and soak in serene views from the floor-to-ceiling windows situated in front of the sofas for ultimate relaxation.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan living room/kitchen/diner, decorated in calming pastel colours to help you unwind. A soft sofa and two armchairs ensure plenty of space to sprawl out to watch a film or get lost in a good book, whilst the dining table is the perfect place to gather around to share stories over a meal enjoying the countryside scenery. The kitchen is compact yet offers everything you’ll need to fix up a feast for the family, or simply serve up a takeaway as an indulgent treat. The family bathroom features a blissful freestanding bathtub which is ideal for end-of-day bubble baths, as well as a walk-in shower. The master bedroom is an elegant double with light, bright windows, accompanied by a playful twin which is well-suited to children. Slide open the doors and step outside to breathe in the fresh countryside air from the wrap around decking each morning for a great start to the day. Two recliners and a table and chairs offer a comfortable seat where you can enjoy the great outdoors, whilst the generous lawn is a fantastic spot for garden games.
Pack a picnic and venture to Dartmoor National Park (7 miles) to search for the iconic Dartmoor ponies and rock formations, with more than 160 tors found throughout the vast moorland. Pay a visit to the city of Plymouth and you’ll be able to hop aboard a number of wonderful wildlife boat trips, head to the National Marine Aquarium or swim at the Lido to experience the best of Britain’s Ocean City.

Fantastic little cottage with breathtaking views of the river. Plenty of great places to visit but a car is essential. Railway station into Plymouth about 3 miles away.
