Enjoy a peaceful, rural escape staying at this characterful hideaway close to the edge of Bodmin Moor. Set in a sheltered valley next to the owner’s equestrian centre, this one-bedroom property welcomes two guests and one happy hound, making it ideal for couples, solo adventurers and dog lovers. With countryside trails from your door and access to the North and South Cornwall coast, it offers a quiet base with easy access to many of Cornwall’s major attractions.
Laid out over two floors, this former coach house has plenty of charm with vaulted and beamed ceilings offering a nod to the building’s heritage. Step straight into a bright breakfast room, a practical space where thoughtful touches such as a dog bowl and blankets mean four-legged guests feel as welcome as their humans. Beyond is a galley-style kitchen, centred on a striking wood burner that adds instant warmth and cottage character after a day in the fresh air. Upstairs, the lounge makes the most of dual-aspect windows, giving far-reaching views over moorland. Snuggle up on the sofa to watch TV or plan your adventures, windows open on balmy evenings to let in the fresh air and views. When night falls, a king-size bedroom whispers of sweet dreams while the adjoining bathroom offers the option of a refreshing shower or a leisurely soak in the tub. An enclosed garden invites al-fresco drinks and dining while your pup sniffs out new scents or bathes in a sunny spot. Ample off-road parking ensure a convenient stay.
The cottage’s central position offers a wealth of options, while a village shop within 1.5 miles and three country pubs within 2 miles take care of the basics. Keen cyclists can join the Caradon Cycle Trail, a 17-mile loop that passes the door, while nature lovers will enjoy lakeside strolls at Sibleyback Reservoir (6 miles) and woodland walks to Golitha Falls (5.5 miles). Coast-to-coast explorations are easy with Looe 14 miles south and Tintagel 24 miles north.
