Mugwell Barn

Mugwell Barn is a single-storey barn conversion in Luckett, within the Tamar Valley World Heritage Site. It sleeps two in one super king-size bedroom, set within a private garden on a rural property between Callington and the Devon border.

The interior is open-plan, with underfloor heating throughout and an open fire for cooler evenings. A dishwasher and washing machine are included. The conversion sits on one level - no stairs anywhere in the cottage. WiFi and off-road parking are provided. Two dogs are welcome; 68 reviews average 4/5.

Downderry Beach on the South Cornwall coast is 13 miles away, with Whitsand Bay 13.7 miles and Plaidy Beach 14.3 miles. The drive down to Whitsand drops sharply on single-track roads - worth knowing before you set out. The Tamar Valley earned its World Heritage status for 19th-century copper and tin mining. Walking routes through the Tamar Valley pass old engine houses and wooded river reaches. Callington is a short drive for supermarkets and fuel.

Best for couples or solo visitors who want a quiet rural base within a half-hour drive of south coast beaches. Less good for those relying on public transport - Luckett has no regular bus service - or anyone wanting sea views from the property.
