The property
Launceston 9.5 miles.
For a truly peaceful and relaxing holiday, a stay at the Colhay Studio really is hard to beat.
Located in a tiny, sleepy hamlet near Launceston, this luxurious cottage is also well situated for touring the wonderful north coast of Cornwall as well as both Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor.
As you arrive after driving along the leafy country lanes to this former artist’s studio, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the superb water gardens alongside the cottage, with walkways across ponds and a waterfall, all adding to the peaceful, calming feel.
Enter into the cottage and the quality of the furnishings and cosy sitting area with pocket-sprung sofa bed and warming woodburning stove will make you realise this is a very special place indeed.
The stairs lead you to the bedroom and its balcony, a perfect place for breakfast with far-reaching, uninterrupted views over Dartmoor.
With a lovely patio, reached by crossing the ponds, a relaxing stay is guaranteed here with stargazing being a real treat.
If you can drag yourself away from the cottage though the north coast of Cornwall is easily accessible and, with the A30 nearby at Launceston, nowhere in the county is far from reach.
Whether you intend a lazy relaxing holiday or a short break visiting all the county has to offer, a stay at this magnificent cottage will be the perfect tonic at any time of year.
Accommodation
One mezzanine double bedroom. Ground floor shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with sofa bed and woodburning stove.
