Tucked away on the edge of the stunning Bodmin Moor, this charming single-storey hideaway promises a warm welcome to families and their waggy-tailed wanderers. Set within a National Landscape and surrounded by 2 acres of leafy grounds, this two-bedroom cottage is a dream base for sniff-worthy strolls, stargazing evenings, and memorable Cornish adventures.
Inside the cottage, traditional stone walls hint at its rustic past. Admire artwork created by the owner, inspired by the wild surroundings, then settle into the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with peaceful woodland views. Unwind on the comfortable sofas while your hound dozes off after a long day exploring, or tuck into homegrown produce at the dining table – the welcome pack includes fresh eggs, vegetables and fruit from the garden. There's also a coffee machine for lazy morning brews and a Smart TV for cosy evenings in. The stylish shower room is perfect for freshening up after windswept beach days, and the two restful bedrooms promise a great night’s sleep. The main bedroom features a luxurious Nectar divan bed with storage, while the second room has a bunk bed triple sleeper – ideal for kids or adults sharing. Step outside into the enclosed garden – a safe, grassy space for your tail-wagger to explore while you fire up the BBQ or sip a drink beneath the star-filled skies Bodmin Moor is famous for. After muddy adventures, rinse off sandy paws under the handy outdoor hot and cold shower. Private parking for two cars is provided.
Located near the pretty village of Altarnun and steeped in the literary magic of Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn, the area offers plenty of opportunities for long countryside walks and coastal escapades with your faithful companion by your side. Potter to the local shop (0.5 miles) for supplies or enjoy coffee and cake in a dog-welcoming cafe. There’s also a well-loved pub within a mile for a pitstop after a day on the moors. Head to Black Rock (13 miles), a year-round dog-friendly shore with space for sandy paws to run wild, while history hounds will love Tintagel Castle’s legendary atmosphere, 11 miles from home.
