Approached by its own private driveway and set in 16 acres of glorious Devon countryside, Sherrill Farm is a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The farm offers delightful cottages converted from the original 300-year-old barns, a detached farmhouse with its own private gardens, and a fabulous newly built pair of cottages which can be let singly or as one unit, accommodating up to 25 people. Great Meadow Barn is situated approximately 50 metres away down a country lane. Clustered around the central courtyard, the cottages retain many features and are charmingly furnished and decorated, with well-equipped, modern mellow pine kitchens. Sherrill Farm also boasts a magnificent indoor heated swimming pool (12m x 6m x depth 0.8m to 2.6m), open all year. After an energetic swim you can step out onto the surrounding sun terrace and enjoy the stunning south-facing views, whilst the children keep themselves entertained in their own play area. Table tennis and pool can also be played in the pool area. An all-weather tennis court is available, rackets for hire (correct tennis shoes to be worn). If you prefer just to take it easy then why not stroll around the grounds and meet the resident pets, large and small. There are three ponds; one created to encourage wildlife and set in beautiful surroundings. How many newts, tadpoles, frogs, butterflies, birds and insects can you spy? Two further ponds have been stocked with fish, for those wishing to try their hand at this relaxing pastime (rods can be hired on site). There is also a picnic area and summerhouse along the banks of the ponds, a beautiful area offering peace and tranquillity. Whatever you decide to do, Sherrill Farm is a superb place for the entire family. Nestling in wonderful rolling countryside, it is perfectly situated for exploring North and South Devon and Cornwall. Close by is the beautiful Tamar Valley and Dartmoor National Park, both with many breathtaking walks. The whole area is ideal for those who enjoy cycling, horse riding and walking. There are many exciting places to visit including Morwellham Quay and the National Trust properties of Cotehele, Buckland Abbey and Lydford George, with its White Lady Waterfall. Tavistock, 6 miles, is a popular market town with pannier market, shops and opportunities for trout fishing. Enjoy canoeing on the River Tamar and Tavistock canal, or cycling on the Plym Valley track or the newly-opened cycle track in Tavistock; all of which your host will be happy to advise you upon. The North and South coasts are within easy reach by car and offer an amazing choice of splendid sandy beaches, watersports of all kinds, cliff top walks, swimming, surfing and other seaside activities. The old stannary town of Launceston with its castle ruins is a short drive and within easy driving distance is the Eden Project. For those who enjoy a game of golf there are several good 18-hole courses in the area including the famous international Jack Nicklaus course at St Mellion. A must for all the family is Trethorn Leisure and Golf Park at Launceston.
