The Platt

Bodmin Moor lies within five miles, and Dartmoor is twelve miles away—both are serious walking territory with open moorland, granite outcrops and long sightlines. Closer still, the Tamar Valley holds woodland trails and river paths, while a pub sits within a mile. The Platt occupies a quiet hamlet between Launceston and Callington, reached by a long driveway that sets it apart from the everyday.

This one-bedroom property sits entirely on the ground floor, with an open-plan living area that flows through French doors onto a decked balcony. A corner window in the dining section frames views across river valleys and fields; from the bedroom, more French doors frame the same landscape. A wood burner warms the living room on colder days. The kitchen is modern with a range cooker and good workspace. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are included. One well-behaved dog is welcome here (the surrounding land is sheep country, so dogs must be kept on a lead).

The cottage suits couples seeking genuine seclusion rather than activity. Parking for two cars sits on the property. Arrive after 3pm, depart by 10am. No smoking inside.
