About... Beardon Barton Cottages
 

At the end of a peaceful ‘ no through ‘ lane, you find one of the area’s most serene and inviting holiday retreats.  Carefully thought out to create an atmosphere of harmony and relaxation, this charming little group of five cottages, a sympathetic conversion of a 17th century stone barn, tastefully decorated with a peaceful shared garden, with an enchanting kid’s playhouse and a pagoda housed hot tub, provides an idyllic haven.

This impression is strengthened by the fact that the cottages comfortably nestle in the heart of a 110 acre working farm, bringing nature literally to your very doorstep.  Children will adore the chance to meet some of the farm’s characters, including ducks, Georgy & Pippa the pigs, Miss Button the Shetland & Drama the Dartmoor ponies, Charlie the peacock and the three Alpacas - Data, Eddie Boom and Flavius.  Further afield, explore a wandering nature trail along flower-bordered tracks, busy with wildlife, keeping an eye open at the course fishing lakes for herons, and kingfishers.

 

The cottages also make a perfect base from which lovers can explore all that the area has to offer: Tamar Otter Park is  3 miles away, while twenty minutes drive brings you to the spectacular North Cornish Coastline, with glorious clifftop walks (S.W Coastal Path), and the chance to see Tintagel , King Arthur’s legendary castle.  An hour’s drive away brings you to the Eden Project, and half an hour will bring you to the wilds of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, both interlaced by a series of attractive footpaths.

For sightseers and culture lovers, the cottages are just 12 miles away from the golden, sandy beaches of Widemouth Bay (child friendly award winning), the excellent Splash! leisure complex, the shops, inns and restaurants of Bude, and 7 miles from the historic hilltop town of Launceston, with its spectacularly sited 11th Century castle, museum and 15thC church.  Visitors will appreciate the convenience of a pub, restaurant, shop and post office all within four miles of the cottages.

The more energetic will appreciate the Watersports and Coarse Fishing on offer at Roadford Lake. Sea Fishing at Widemouth, and Golf and Riding facilities near Launceston.

Peaceful, and relaxing for the whole family, Beardon Barton represents the ideal means of refreshing the spirit.
