There are numerous tourist attractions in the area such as The Milky Way, The Big Sheep, Dartington Crystal, The Tamar Otter Park, King Arthur's Tintagel and National Trust properties are a selection.

The upside-down style accommodation retains much of its original charm and character, with exposed beams to the upper floor areas and offers three bedrooms: downstairs is a spacious double bedroom, twin bedroom and single bedroom all decorated in a country charm. The bathroom has a bath and separate shower and WC. The lounge on the first floor with electric fire offers lovely countryside views. The well equipped kitchen/diner with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer is located upstairs with beautiful views.

Outside is an enclosed garden and patio with BBQ and shared games barn with pool table and table tennis. Or why not wonder over to the lake and relax and enjoy your surroundings.

Lovely location. The farm is very rural with Holsworthy (and Waitrose) a 5 min car ride away. We loved Bude and the spectacular coastline. Really good places to eat as well. Our hosts were so helpful and the boys enjoyed the games room immensely.

Perfect location in beautiful surroundings. Felt as if we were miles from anywhere but Holsworthy just 5 minutes up the road.and beaches close at hand. Very relaxing time, felt right at home and perfect for our four legged friends. Would certainly return.
