With its cosy interior, rambling garden and tranquil location, this delightful Cornish cottage makes the perfect couples’ bolthole amid an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bodmin Moor has a wild, rugged beauty, its expanse of grassland and heather dotted with granite outcrops, boulders, and evidence of prehistoric settlements. This property is located roughly in the middle of the moor on the outskirts of St Breward, home to the highest church in Cornwall and one of the oldest pubs. Lace up your hiking boots and wander out from your door to explore the many walking routes, including the Camel Trail, an 18-mile route that passes through Bodmin. Many of the region’s best-known attractions are within easy reach including the fishing villages of Boscastle (12 miles) and Padstow (17 miles), Tintagel Castle (12 miles) and the Eden Project (20 miles).
This two-storey cottage is accessed via a small bridge over a tiny stream, ensuring a charming first impression. The lounge is filled with character, with a beamed ceiling, a granite fireplace with a wood burner, and a pretty window seat. The room has two sofas, a TV and music centre that includes a vinyl turntable and selection of records, and a bookshelf. There’s a cottage-style kitchen next door with a dining table, and a ground-floor cloakroom with a half bath. Stairs lead up from the lounge to a cosy double bedroom set beneath an arched ceiling, with an en-suite shower room.
Outside, a beautiful, verdant garden wraps around the front and side of the cottage, with a bistro table and chairs, and an outdoor seating area with a fire pit – perfect for chilly evenings under the stars!
