The cottage was lovely and spacious, with access to Bodmin moor from a path behind the property. The conservatory was a lovely light place to read and was warmed by the sun. A good place to leave wet or muddy outdoor wear. Lovely reclining settee and chairs in the living room. The owner was great, responding promptly when we had an issue. The internet and phone signal were reasonable but there is no wifi. we had two lovely weeks here in September.

Just got back from about the best 2 week holiday ever spent in Cornwall. Located on the edge of Bodmin Moor, about 15 minutes drive from Bodmin Town, this property is ideally situated for beaches on the north and south coasts. Although it’s only about a minute’s drive from the A30, there is no road noise, so it’s really peaceful too. I highly recommend it.

A beautiful cottage with green, well kept garden, easily accessible parking, and a nice view in a really calm, relaxed area.I especially recommend the forest walk which starts from the parking place (see description in the booklet in the cottage).
