About
A stone farmhouse cottage adjoined to the owner's own home set amidst rural countryside, close to the attractive village of Lifton on the Devon and Cornwall border. Jane’s Place is located on a smallholding amongst the country lanes near the Devon/Cornwall border, ideal for exploring both counties. There is an acre of stunning gardens for guests to wander in at leisure, with far-reaching views and a well-stocked lake and an abundance of wildlife. The cottage is conveniently placed just a few minutes’ drive from the A30, yet the peace and quiet is sure to relax guests as soon as they arrive. The cottage whilst having been tastefully modernised, is overflowing with character and charm, evident as you step over the threshold into the cosy sitting room. A large Inglenook fireplace takes centre stage, with original timber beams and whitewashed stone walls creating a wonderful cosy room to relax. A bespoke country kitchen/diner provides a cosy room for cooking local Lifton farm produce, sipping tea and relaxing with friends. There is the benefit of two bathrooms; a ground floor wet room and a first floor bathroom. The two bedrooms are spacious, light and overlook the beautiful gardens and countryside beyond. There are several options for garden areas with this cottage; the rear garden is enclosed, attracts the evening sun and has a BBQ – great for relaxing. Or guests can wander down to the lake, enjoy woodland walks around it or fish for tench, bream and roach. This is the ideal country escape with the Fox & Grapes, Arundell Arms and Lifton Farm Shop found in the village three miles away. Just four miles away is Roadford Lake, a fantastic day out for water activities, high rope walks or picnics. Enjoy the nature trails, the whole area is dog friendly and the café serves locally produced mouthwatering snacks and light lunches. Visit Dingles Fairground Heritage centre, numerous National Trust houses, Cowslip patchwork shop & café or Launceston castle and steam train. Bring your walking boots as this is perfect walking country with both Dartmoor and Bodmin within easy reach and for days on the beach head west to the North Cornish coast and the beaches of Bude, Widemouth Bay and Crackington Haven, all reachable in a little over 40 minutes’ drive. Jane’s Place is a wonderfully secluded retreat with all the comforts of home, its central position perfect for discovering new places and enjoying the great outdoors.
Lifton is a village in the upper Tamar Valley, close to Launceston. It offers a shop and Post Office, a pub and three restaurants. It also has a farm shop/pick-your-own complex with a bakery and restaurant. Dartmoor and Bodmin are close, for countryside enthusiasts, while Launcestock, Tavistock and more are also worth visiting.

Lovely property, beautiful setting, helpful and friendly hosts.
We've been before and will certainly be coming again.
-
This was our third visit and we would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone.
Comfy beds. Nice sofas. Well equipped kitchen. Good WiFi with smart TV. Lovely gardens. If you like fishing you can try your hand at catching lovely little tench and crucians in the beautiful lake. We will hopefully return next year. One small caveat would be that someone with limited mobility would struggle with the stairs which are quite steep. All in all a lovely relaxing holiday
-
The cottage was really good, very quiet and comfortable, plenty of room and so well-appointed.
Probably one of the best we've stayed in and would certainly go back again. The owners were extremely nice and welcoming and most helpful.
-
A lovely 4 day stay at Janes's Place.
A beautiful cottage, very well maintained with everything we could possibly need, provided. Situated in a quiet, yet convenient location with easy access to all attractions in Devon and Cornwall. Super pet friendly gardens, and lovely hosts. We will certainly consider returning to Jane's Place on our next visit to the UK.

The owners were welcoming and incredibly approachable.
The cottage was well equipped , comfortable and warm. We loved the location and my Granddaughter loved the gardens especially the pond. The location was good as we could easily travel within Devon and Cornwall. We would have liked to of stayed longer with my Granddaughter most upset on our return and wanting to visit again. A big thank you and Inky(owners dog) was a true star

Lovely stay, such a pretty little cottage with so much character.
Lovely garden and grounds. Really peaceful, the owner was on hand if we needed to ask anything, but it was also wonderfully secluded and private. Everything you could need in the house and all in good working order. Fabulous area- plenty of amenities locally and very pretty countryside. Great for exploring Cornwall, Devon and Dartmoor as the A30 is within easy reach, so plenty to do within an hour of the house. Loads of beautiful walks, cycling, shopping, swimming and places to eat out within 5-30 mins drive of the house which are less touristy than better known areas of Cornwall and Devon. Check out the guest book for recommendations or ask the owners.

Received a warm welcome from Ginette, Brian and Inky.
The cottage was lovely in a peaceful location with a spectacular view to the south. The beds were very comfortable and we were happy with the facilities.

The cottage was superb, a credit to ginette.
Everything we needed was provided. Wonderful walks and pond to sit by.

This was our second stay at Jane's Place.
We stayed on the hottest week of the year and really appreciated the coolness of the very old house-as did our little dog Harry who hates the heat. The pond was wonderful-you walk down the beautiful garden into this wonderfully sculptured paradise that is surrounded by trees which kept us sheltered and cool all week whilst fishing. The beds and sofas were very comfortable, the shower was great and the cooker easy to use. The only minor niggle was the WIFI signal-very poor and you can't get an unbroken 4G signal in the house and it isn't a smart TV so anyone wanting to screencast from a phone is out of luck. If you have kids you might need to bring extra games for entertainment. Very clean and tidy and the flowers are a lovely touch. Brian, Ginette and Inky were great hosts and we would be happy to stay again in the future.

We didn't really get the full value of this wonderful cottage and garden - weather seemed to be against us!
That said, the cottage itself is lovely - very well fitted out and a great place to return to after a day sight seeing. All the kitchen facilities you require are at hand, bedrooms and bathrooms clean and well fitted. Great cottage!

What a great experience we had at Janeâs Cottage.
The views, the cottage itself and the owners was five star. It was so peaceful we came home feeling truly rested. It is in easy reach of many places of interest both in Cornwall and Devon eg we visited the Castle in Launceston, the beach at Bude, Pencarrow Manor House. Ideal for both couples and families with children. So many places to sit in the lovely garden at the cottage and follow the sun around. You must visit and see for yourselves. Sue and friends.

What a beautiful cosy cottage!
It is really old and quaint but renovated tastefully with all mod cons. It was great to light the log burner after a day out or evening fishing. The garden and lake are so peaceful and we saw woodpeckers on the bird feeders. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday, Janeâs place is highly recommended. Thanks to Jeanette, Brian and Inky for the lovely welcome and hospitality!

Thank you ginette we left early and did not want to disturb you thank you for our lovely welcome and stay sandra Steve and Archie

The cottage is beautiful, with its beams, log burner and country kitchen.
The gardens are fantastic, so much space and the fish pond is a bonus. The owners are lovely, left us to on with the holiday but available if you have any questions or fancy a quick natter! Please note though there is no enclosed garden area. It's all open plan. We require an enclosed garden because of our dog, this is always the first thing we look for when booking a holiday. Not a great start to the holiday! This was the only issue we had. Everything else was perfect!

This is a cottage with a magical garden.
Amazing flowers, its own lake. The views are second to none.
