About this property

Perfectly located for touring all of Cornwall and situated right on Bodmin Moor, this really cosy yet spacious old cottage is set in the village of St Breward, well known from the Poldark TV series, 7 miles north of Bodmin. The whole family will delight in the homely feel that exudes throughout from the moment you enter. Full of character, with its beamed ceilings and large stone fireplaces, Dromore is a relaxing cottage beautifully furnished throughout. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all of which offer a comfortable retreat at the end of a busy day. The children will love the games room with a choice of pool, table tennis, air hockey and darts to occupy them while the adults relax on the massive sofa in the living room. There is even a handy outdoor shower in the summer season, perfect for cleaning off after a day spent surfing, biking or exploring and a shed which can be used to store bikes, surf boards and wet suits. Very close by there is a children’s playground, one of two in the village. Also in St Breward are Cornwall's highest church and the highest inn in the county, the welcoming Old Inn and restaurant which dates back to the 11th century and is famous for its delicious home-cooked food. Even in the colder months a warm and friendly welcome is assured here with huge roaring log fires which will be a pleasing sight after a great walk on the moors or a climb up the two highest tors in the county, both within the parish. With the starting point of the Camel Trail close by cyclists are well catered for; why not take the beautiful and scenic ride to Padstow for lunch before returning at your leisure where this wonderfully quiet cottage will guarantee a good night's sleep? Horse riding offering great rides along the stunning moors is available close by and is a good way to see the moorland. Dromore is a very special cottage in a traditional moorland village to be enjoyed all year round.

St Breward is a small village set amongst beautiful countryside in Cornwall, about 7 miles from Bodmin. The village offers all the amenities you will require during your stay with a shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds and a pub. A footpath in the village creates a nice circular loop past the holy well, the church and across the River Camel. Nearby, you can also enjoy the Camel Trail which is popular with both walkers and cyclists and winds its way through the town of Bodmin on its journey to the sea at Padstow.

    The quiet location was perfect for relaxing in front of the log fire and totally unwinding. Having the games room was great but I’m sure the pool table was faulty because my girlfriend kept beating me

    The cottage was so clean and lovely. The added games room was great with lots of choice. The cottage had all the amenities needed and the eggs, biscuits and milk left for us was a lovely touch after a long journey. We had such a nice stay and the cottage was not far from places such as port issac and bodmin. The old inn pub just a walk away has lovely food and the staff are so lovely and friendly. We'd definitely come back to this cottage again in the future. The cottage is very quiet and lovely for a week away with the family. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    It was clean and charming accommodation. The owner's instructions regarding arrival and departure were clear, and they lived alongside us if we had any issues, which we did not. We loved the house, particularly the games room, and, more importantly, the milk, eggs, and biscuits left for us when we arrived. The owner told us that the nearby local shop had closed and left us these essentials so we could unwind when we got there. We heartily recommend this property. It is a lovely house in a great, rural location. We enjoyed it, and if we could give it more than five stars, we would. My family and I had a great holiday. Thanks a bunch for a fabulous stay!!
