“Rainbows End is a true Cornish gem!”

There’s not much I would change about this wonderful cottage. From the minute we walked in we felt at home, the open plan downstairs makes it feel very light and airy. The kitchen is very well equipped, the lounge is comfortable and the downstairs shower and toilet is a great advantage. The whole cottage was clean and decorated extremely well. The location is great too, 30 minutes to the coast each side, lots of amenities close by. We loved listening to the ducks on the river and the cockerel next door each morning! One duck in particular sounded like he/she was laughing just at the right times during our conversations :) We will definitely be returning, it was perfect!

“4.5ft Double bed unusable - no material covering the springs.”

We gave it up after one night. Two single beds usable, but no more than that. Exactly 4 knives, 4 spoons, 4 forks, 4 teaspoons, 4 tumblers, 4 wine glasses. Ridiculous. Heating remote controlled by owners, set too cold once the weather changed. Had to ask (twice) to get it increased, however the set operating times were very brief, only early morning and early afternoon. Advice? Bring loads of warm clothing and hats if booking outside of summer. Wall heater in lounge did not work. No instructions for dishwasher or lounge fire.

- Colin, September 2024

I am saddened by your review. The bed is a standard Double bed as advertised, it has an orthopedic mattress of not a year old. The mattress was covered with a Silentnight mattress protector and a double fitted sheet,(as are the single beds) which were fitted prior to your arrival and still on bed after your departure. The cottage is equipped for up to 4 occupants . The heating is set to 21 degrees between 7am -10am and 4.30pm to 11pm which is in line with national guidelines, the cottage rarely drops below 18 degrees. The heating was adjusted on your request. The electric fire is a lounge visual feature . I was in conversation with your wife during your stay so I am a little surprised that all your issues were not bought to my attention so could be rectified Property Owner

“Cottage is situated along side a river which adds to the tranquility and peace and quiet you sought to escape the everyday rat race.”

Upon arrival the owner Jules had left fudge cookies and fresh produce which was very much appreciated and added a nice touch after a long journey . Cottage is bright cheerful open plan and is kept beautiful and clean all you could require is there . The ducks

“We had a lovely time at Rainbows End.”

We were really touched by the milk, biscuits and fudge left behind for us. The cottage has river views with ducks which was such a lovely sight every day. The property was very clean and well maintained. We would love to stay here again.

The property

Rainbows End is a delightful, two-bedroom cottage tucked away in the tranquil Cornish countryside of Launceston.

With unrivalled river views and close proximity to local amenities, Rainbows End is a wonderful choice for families or friends, looking to enjoy inland Cornwall, whilst only a car journey away from Dartmoor National Park.

Park up to the roadside and take in your pretty, riverside position, before stepping indoors, reaching the open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen and neighbouring utility, dining space for four, and a lovely sitting area with electric fire.

Spend time together, preparing homecooked meals, dining, and socialising, or if you’d prefer some peace and quiet, find a quiet nook in the snug.

On sunny days, escape to the enclosed garden and bask in the sunshine, with a patio set to take advantage of, before completing your nightly routine in either the ground-floor shower room, or the bathroom.

Two well-appointed bedrooms rest upstairs, both enjoying elevated vistas of the river, selecting between a double and a twin for convenience.

Discover the market town of Launceston, which is home to the remains of a stunning, 13th century castle and a variety of pubs and shops to visit, including The Westgate Inn Launceston and The Bell Inn.

Further afield, the sun-kissed town of Bude is just a short drive away, where you can take advantage of the warm climate with beach days, coastal walks, and rugged beauty, following the Efford Beacon hiking trail, or enjoying a dip in Bude Sea Pool.

You also won't want to miss Dartmoor National Park, where you can enjoy a vast and beautiful landscape of moorland, tors, rivers, woodlands, and pretty villages; take some time to wander the trails, visit the traditional pubs, stop at the scenic viewpoints, and admire the unique plants and wildlife, including National Trust - Lydford Gorge, Pew Tor, and the Tamar Valley AONB.

All of this can be experienced by booking Rainbows End.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
