A great place to stay. Lovely outlook. The beds are very comfortable and the lounge/ dining kitchen it well set up. The scones, milk etc on arrival is a great welcoming gift. The hosts are delightful and keep the place clean and tidy. We love the hot tub too.

We had a wonderful holiday at Otter Barn. Really close to Launceston and many shops, including the garden centre. Not far from the north coast and the Eden project. Darren has been so helpful and always present if needed. The paddock for the dog has been really appreciated. We would return for sure.

Beautiful barn accommodation in a quiet location where the roads are virtually empty compared to the busy seaside resorts of Cornwall. Only 30 minutes by car to Bude and the beaches, where we did Coasteering, paddleboarding and swam in the (very clean) sea. Our furthest excursion was to the Lost Gardens, an hour away and well worth the drive. LovelRead morey walking at Lydford Gorge National Trust to see the fantastic waterfall.

Just got home from a 5 night stay for my husbands 30th birthday. Can not complain about anything! Everything was perfect. From the little detail of scones & milk to the views.

A roomy and comfortable barn conversion. Kitchen was suitable equipped and we liked the scones, jam, cream and milk to greet us on our arrival. Ample areas to walk the dogs, though were a bit muddy as had been wet for some time. On the point of dogs, we were supplied with two dog beds, towels, bowls and treats. The hot tub was fine though could havRead moree been a bit warmer. Also, barns with hot tubs had robes supplied. Was able to make good use of the Pod Point EV charging stations. An enjoyable stay.
