A large, luxurious holiday home with a hot tub and sauna near Cornwall’s Tamar Valley
With a large, private and secure garden, it’s also incredibly dog friendly with four-legged friends as welcome as the rest of your family. You’d be forgiven for thinking that’s where its name hails from, but actually it’s simply a nod to a former owner of this high-end holiday home. That’s one of the things that’s quite nice about this particular self-catering pad; it may be stylish but it’s still got a homely feel. Perhaps that’s because it’s located in a Cornish hamlet rather than a tourist hotspot. Or perhaps it’s because it’s been converted by brothers Jay and Rich who grew up here and still own the place. The connected living and the dining rooms are the homeliest parts of the house, both designed so that all guests can sit together for meals and games.
Having said all that, not many family homes have the space and facilities that this place does. The kitchen come incredibly well-equipped with a whole host of Ninja appliances. There's style to complement the substance too — the dining room and bathrooms are cleanly painted white, there are bold choices in colour and wallpaper elsewhere. Lighting, furniture and even crockery are well chosen, with a contemporary, Scandinavian feel — and it's an aesthetic that flows out to the back garden, where the deck and the sauna cabin are painted black timber. It’s slightly different upstairs. Each of the four double rooms has been individually decorated with as much care as downstairs but each has its own personality. Two are en-suite and all have Smart TVs while the other two share two family bathrooms. The snug downstairs converts to a fifth bedroom with a comfy king-size sofa bed if you want it and there are travel cots and extra singles mattresses available too.
There’s enough here for a family to while away their time together, but you don’t typically come to Cornwall to simply stay put — and this is a great place from which to explore. Located a couple of miles from the A39, this place has great links in every direction. You are a country mile away from the closest pub, not far from the River Tamar, not to mention just a few miles from Saltash and the south coast beaches that lie beyond. Dartmoor, Looe and Polperro are all about half an hour away, and the Eden Project is less than an hour's drive. And, if you fancy a return trip to this part of the world with your nearest and dearest (and why wouldn't you?), Bar-K has a sister property that makes a perfect romantic retreat — The Old Sunday School.
