About this property

Launceston 4.7 miles. Tucked away in the Cornish countryside in Lezant near Launceston is The Wagon House. This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home welcomes four guests in two well-appointed bedrooms and benefits from a characterful patio with furniture and access to the surrounding lake fields with picnic bench and barbecue, perfect for a family getaway. Cross the threshold to unwind in front of the Smart TV while the designated chef of the group whips up a tasty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together at the table or step outside to fire up the barbecue and indulge in an alfresco affair as the sun begins to set over Cornwall. When stars fill the sky, head inside to wash off the day in the sleek bathroom before catching your rest in either the king or twin bedrooms, the single beds are zip and link so they can be made into a king bed on request. The Wagon House boasts a wonderful, rural location on a working farm where guests may be able to feed the animal, but local amenities can be found a short drive away in Launceston. Find a variety of stores here to help ease your self-catered stay as well as pubs including The Westgate Inn and the Launceston Arms where you can savour traditional pub fare. There are also ruins of the imposing 13th century Launceston Castle where you can lose yourself in the past; continue your journey into the past at Lydford Castle and Saxon town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park or Penhallam Manor which you can traverse with your beloved canine companion. The nearby Dartmoor National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts thanks to the myriad of walking, hiking and cycling trails woven through its 954 square kilometres; there are also opportunities for horse riding and rock climbing offering breath-taking views across the countryside as well as a charming zoo. Discover the wonders of Cornwall at The Wagon House.

Launceston, on the border between Devon and Cornwall, is home to some beautiful Georgian buildings in its town square and the crumbling remains of a Norman castle perched on a hill above. The Willow Tree Cafe and Woodland Walk are dog-friendly attractions, and the steam train from Launceston travels through the scenic Kensey Valley on a 5-mile round trip. In addition to the beautiful Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, the seaside towns of Bude and Padstow to the north and Plymouth to the south are easily accessible from Launceston via car. Ideally situated for day trips to Devon and Cornwall.

    Trudi and Sam are perfect hosts and the cottage had every possible home comfort , with great attention to detail. Trudi is very creative and it’s a very nice touch that her nature focused embroidery and art work complement the decor . I liked the mushrooms and pheasant especially . I’ve already let them know how much my stay meant to me , and will definitely be returning there . Peace, quiet, comfort , beautiful surroundings ( which have helped me to relax and recuperate- so needed ), deep sleep due to the quiet and lack of light pollution, lots for me to enjoy nature wise with my camera were all highlights and I’ve come away feeling far better after only a few short days. It is in Lovely locality with super walks directly from the cottage ( this time a help to me as I didn’t have my car with me ) to the local church at Lezant ( medieval, beautiful ) , and quaint Cornish cottages everywhere a photographers delight but the lake and woodland walk available to the cottage ( as are all the grounds and gardens ) were delightful. I’d hoped to see their kingfisher but I think it was a tad too cold this time of year to sit at the birdwatching seat too long. ( spring summer and autumn would be perfick for this ). The adorable book nook ( which is a cute steepled little brick alongside the cottage , with a stained glass window and seat in to sit in at any time of day or night ( there is a light ) absolutely enchanted me . I did again sit in for a while but too cold ( below freezing ) this particular stay for a long read. The cottage was very comfortable and warm . Lots provided to do of an evening too with the well stocked book shelf and games. WiFi dependable too. All in all a marvellous stay , I had a couple of queries whilst there which were very easily sorted. Trudis delicious home made scones and jam and the wine in the welcome pack were much appreciated ( hubby enjoyed the scones and I enjoyed the jams over several days - the crabapple jelly being especially yummy ). Thank you Trudi and sam for making me so welcome. See you soon liz .

    Trudi & Sam made us extremely welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful week. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The fresh scones & bottle of wine on our arrival was much appreciated. Thank you Trudi & Sam, we've already booked our return next year. Brian Ruth & Poppy the dog!
