Apple Cottage and Piggery are both absolutely charming and are perfect for a multi-generational stay. Both were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The garden was secure, and large enough for a 20 month old child and two dogs to have fun. The location is wonderfully quiet and rural; it feels like the middle of nowhere, tucked away downRead more tiny lanes with virtually no traffic, yet within 10 mins or so you can be in Launceston for shopping, or to get onto the A30 or A388. My grandson especially enjoyed toddling through the paddock to visit the owners' ducks and chickens. The owners live in the adjoining property and were very happy to help/advise, if asked, but were not at all intrusive. Highly recommended. Hide

What a fantastic cottage! Mum is originally from Launceston so we booked a week here to take a trip down memory lane.

This is a lovely place with fantastic hosts. The two separate buildings are ideal. Lovely peaceful garden with lots of wildlife arouund, all the facilities you could ask for, and in a location that's remote enough to switch off whilst being close enough to the main routes for getting around. Loved it.

Absolutely perfect in every way quite remote but only a short drive to shops loved every minute we spent there. Would not change anything at all, for us the holiday was perfect. The cottage was spotless, the garden was well kept with the grass nice n short. There was nothing to fault whatsoever and will definitely return again
