    “Had a lovely stay at Penlaurel.”

    Very comfy and plenty of space to relax, cook, or enjoy the lounges in. Also a nice welcome of bubbly & chocs. The garden was large but due to some wet weather I found some flagstones very slippery underfoot. I kept my dog on his stretchy lead as parts of the garden seemed less secure for my dog and animals were entering overnight and toileting. However the garden is so big, my dog still had plenty of space to play in. The hot tub was large and welcome after a day of walking and exploring ...

    Very comfy and plenty of space to relax, cook, or enjoy the lounges in. Also a nice welcome of bubbly & chocs. The garden was large but due to some wet weather I found some flagstones very slippery underfoot. I kept my dog on his stretchy lead as parts of the garden seemed less secure for my dog and animals were entering overnight and toileting. However the garden is so big, my dog still had plenty of space to play in. The hot tub was large and welcome after a day of walking and exploring Cornwall. The hot tub is set back in amongst trees and shrubs, which was nice and private. But as the light fades in autumn we found there was not enough garden light to clearly see the entrance to the hot tub and tripped against steps partially hidden by an overgrown bush on the first night. Defo grab a torch from the property or use the one on your phone if going into the hot tub during the evenings. A garden broom would be useful so visitors can sweep away fern leaves etc away from the hot tub as we tracked some back into the house. On the last morning I found the neighbours gardener in our garden using an electric saw at height chopping down tree branches, with our side gate open. Thankfully my dog was on his lead, or he would’ve run straight out of the gate. The bloke didn’t seem remotely concerned with his behaviour and I had to quite firmly tell him to leave and shut the gate. He hadn’t even knocked at the property to ask if it was ok to come into the garden. I was fuming. I would recommend a lock for the gate to prevent another near miss. Overall we had a fantastic time, in this beautiful property. It is well located for visits to Tintagel, Bude, Padstow, Bodwin moors to name a few. I would recommend.

    Thank you for your feedback which is greatly appreciated - Penlaurel is a fabulous property and so we are so glad that you enjoyed its location and the lovely comfy lounges, local facilities and surrounding areas. The flagstones do get slippery from time to time especially after prolonged rainfall and so after checking we have had a good Jet wash all round to make this a bit better. A garden broom has now been added to the property - the trees around the hot tub are a constant headache but they do create a lovely secluded spot and so its bitter sweet. I had a word with the gardener who is very apologetic as he was under the impression that there were no guests in that week but should have checked. Property Owner

The serene surroundings make it very easy to relax and unwind, within a romantic setting.

Infused with modern features, the interior comprises a kitchen sweeping round to a TV area, with patio doors opening out into the mature gardens.

Upstairs, crisp linens welcome you into three delightful bedrooms.

Relieve you aches and pains, with a hot soak in the bath before laying down to rest.

And in the morning you can wake up to a refreshing shower in the en-suite.

Outside, enjoy the luxuries of the hot tub, a sparkling glass of bubbly compliments the setup wonderfully, with bordering trees sheltering you from the rest of the garden.

The local area offers much to be explored with theatrics in a canopy-covered moorland amphitheatre at Sterts Theatre and the heather-clad moorland of Bodmin Moor.

Visit the Tamar Otter Park just 3 miles away or take a trip on the steam train.

For an action packed day out, be sure to travel to Liskeard, where The Giant Swing and 450m long zip wire are based at Adrenalin Quarry.

The town of Launceston, situated on the Devon and Cornwall border, has wonderful architecture, including some fine Georgian buildings in the central square, and is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle sitting high above the town. You can take a stroll to the Dog friendly Willow Tree Cafe and Woodland Walk or visit the steam train from Launceston through the beautiful Kensey Valley on a 5-mile round trip. Launceston is within driving distance of the seaside resorts of Bude and Padstow to the north, and Plymouth to the south, as well as the stunning Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. A superb base for exploring Cornwall and Devon.
