Poole Farm Bed & Breakfast - Launceston

5-star adults-only bed & breakfast in the Devon/Cornwall countryside

Rooms & Accommodation

Poole Farm Launceston offers three en-suite rooms: the Tamar, the Twin, and a Double, each with a silent fridge, Neals Yard bathroom products, and a comfortable bed with cotton sheets. The adults-only policy ensures a quiet environment, and each room has a private bathroom, a hairdryer, and a television. Rooms are light and spacious with blackout blinds and countryside views, and guests find USB chargers in the plug sockets.

Dining

Louise, the co-owner and a trained chef, prepares a full English or continental breakfast from locally sourced ingredients each morning, with a menu sent the night before to allow ordering. Evening meals are available on request, featuring dishes such as steak and kidney pie, fish pie, and apple crumble, served in the dining room or delivered to the room. Homemade jams, honey, and chutneys are sold in the on-site shop, along with frozen meals and basic groceries.
