Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 5 - Hellescott, Cornwall

Find yourselves truly relaxing when you stay at this fabulous former barn on a farm in Cornwall. Sleeping five guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is situated at Hellescott, 5 miles from Launceston, where it enjoys shared facilities, including an outdoor heated pool, play area, pizza oven and fire pit. The retreat itself has a wood burner and a private patio.

Let yourselves in to find exquisite accommodation featuring beautiful beams and woodwork. Discover a lovely, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can fire up the wood burner after bracing winter warmth and unwind in its cosy warmth. The kitchen area has been fitted out with everything you need to help you cater for your party during your stay and there is a dining table to gather around for holiday meals.

Spend your evenings in front of the Smart TV, playing games or reading your books, then as the day draws to a close, climb the stairs up to your inviting bedrooms. These include a double and a bunk bedroom with an additional single bed. There is also a family bathroom up here.

Step out onto the patio for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Swim in the shared pool during the warmer months or take the children over to the shared games room or play area. Sit out under the stars beside the fire pit on warm summer nights.

The barn is 8 miles from scenic Bodmin Moor and 18 miles from the magnificent Dartmoor National Park. Alternatively, pack a picnic and beach gear and head over to Crackington Haven, 11.5 miles away, to spend time on the sand. Summerleaze Beach, 16.5 miles away, where you can swim in the sea and the tidal pool, is also a lovely summer destination.
