Ashlea

Ashlea is a four-bedroom cottage in Egloskerry, a small village 3 miles north of Launceston in east Cornwall. It sleeps 8 across 2 bathrooms and includes a garden hot tub - a practical feature for groups who want evening outdoor time regardless of the weather. Prices start from £1,249 per week with Friday changeover.

The cottage sits in open countryside with views across rolling farmland. Inside, an open fire provides warmth on cool evenings, while the garden BBQ covers the summer months. A dishwasher, washing machine, and EV charging point are all included. Wifi covers the property throughout. The garden is generously sized for a group of 8.

Launceston is 3 miles south - a market town with a Norman castle keep overlooking the Tamar Valley and independent shops around the medieval street layout. From Egloskerry, Bude's surf beaches are around 25 miles west on the A395, and Crackington Haven Beach - with its dramatically folded cliffs and reliable surf - is 8.3 miles away. Bodmin Moor is accessible to the south-west for walking and cycling routes.

**Best for:** groups of 6-8 wanting a hot-tub retreat in east Cornwall; EV drivers heading to north coast beaches; families using Launceston as a central hub.

**Less good for:** guests wanting a seaside location or sea views; those needing beach access under 5 miles; dogs not accepted.
