Choose one of the four lovely barn conversions for your family holiday and learn something new during your stay here. The barns are located on a horse riding school, where all the family are encouraged to give horse riding a try. Once in the saddle you will want to take it up when you get back home. The lovely heated outdoor swimming pool is a great hit with families with children, and the Jacuzzi and sauna are favourites with adults. St Leonards certainly is a holiday base with a difference, situated in a wooded valley, it provides a comfortable and relaxing holiday for people of all ages though out the entire year. All the cottages are set on the edge of a courtyard over looking the stables and surrounded by 23 acres of private grounds which is also home to a ½-acre coarse fishing lake, or for something more energetic why not take part in a game of paintball available on site. There is plenty of birdlife here including kingfishers, so you often awaken to the sound of the dawn chorus!
It is an ideal location for touring the both north and south Cornish coasts and close to the Devon/Cornwall border so you can explore both counties from one base. Whether you wish to take it easy in our pool and bbq area, have a swim, ride a horse, try paintball or even go fishing on the River Kensey close by, there is plenty to keep you entertained and make you want to get out and about and feel invigorated by the fresh Cornish air. Perfect for summer, spring, autumn or even winter holidays, all the cottages have been very comfortably furnished and equipped, featuring pine furniture, comfortable beds and woodburners, making them a cosy and welcome home to come back to.
Out and about in the region you can head west by car to the Widemouth Heritage Coast and visit mystical Tintagel and Port Isaac Bay, or head east towards Dartmoor’s wilderness; whichever direction you travel in there is sure to be something new to see. Launceston, 2 miles, once the ancient capital of Cornwall, has shops, a steam railway, castle, golf and an indoor leisure centre. A variety of golf courses locally. A splendid family location with something for everyone, all guests will be well placed for touring both Devon and Cornwall. Launceston, for all amenities, 2 miles. Playstation 3 is available to hire from the owner. Shop 1½ miles.

From the moment we arrived we received a very warm welcome from Katherine and Andy.
From the moment we arrived we received a very warm welcome from Katherine and Andy. We were shown around and taken to our cottage which was clean and spacious. We all rode as a family on fantastic horses and with amazing instructors. Everyone was very friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. Andy gave us some great ideas for places to visit locally. We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to returning.

Just had a lovely week away with my Mum for an early 80th birthday present.
Just had a lovely week away with my Mum for an early 80th birthday present.We stayed in the Cider Barn, it had 13 steps to the apartment but once there all on same level.My mum coped well with the steps and we had no issues (we were made aware of this before we booked).The hot tub and steam room were a nice addition although the pool didn't get used as the weather wasn't on our side.We played bingo at the Arundel just down the road to the accommodation and a ride on the little steam train in Launceston was good.We did alot of driving to explore Cornwall /Devon and found this location was good for us.

My children and I had a wonderful, memorable holiday at Cider House. Sadly we left early due to poor health but we are most definitely going to return. We all loved 'hot tubbing at night' with the gorgeous lights! A truly wonderful holiday was had by all......thank you for providing such a good venue in a fab location. Can't wait to come back and say hello to the amusing horses xxx
