The Barn

The Barn is a three-bedroom cottage in Bray Shop, sleeping 6 with 2 bathrooms. Original features and character give the converted building its identity, and parking, a garden and a washing machine are included.

There is no WiFi or dishwasher, and dogs are not accepted, so this suits a family or group of friends who don't need to stay connected or bring pets. Eleven reviews have been left for the cottage, and country walks start directly from the property, with a pub nearby. The 2-bathroom arrangement works well for a larger family or two couples sharing the trip.

Bray Shop sits in rural East Cornwall about three miles north-west of Callington, with Kit Hill's viewpoint and the Tamar Valley both a short drive away. Downderry Beach, a south-facing mile of sand and shingle looking across Whitsand Bay to Rame Head, is 13.3 miles away. Plaidy Beach, a calm, sheltered cove near Looe with good rock pooling, is 14.2 miles, and Whitsand Bay, four miles of surf beach on the Rame Peninsula, is 14.5 miles. Bodmin Moor and Launceston are both within easy reach for a day out.

**Best for:** A larger family or group of friends wanting 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, parking and country walks from a rural East Cornwall base.

**Less good for:** Dog owners, guests needing WiFi or a dishwasher, or anyone wanting a coastal doorstep rather than an inland setting.
