Property code: CONGS

This former smithy sits in the pretty hamlet of Congdon's Shop near Bodmin Moor. Traditional features run throughout, with exposed stonework and beams giving it a charming rural feel. An enticing cream tea greets you on arrival, making you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door. Congdon's Smithy is a lovely little place to stay while exploring the moors and coast of North Cornwall. Why not scale Rough Tor and Brown Willy during your stay?

The interior of the property retains its original charm with slate floors running throughout and interesting stone features in the garden. High ceilings give this one-storey cottage a spacious feel, yet the warming colours make it cosy when the night draws in. Come together for breakfast at the central kitchen table and prepare for the adventures of the day ahead. Return at night to the restful beds but not before taking a soak in the roll-top bath, just the place to soothe aching muscles.

At the edge of Bodmin Moor, you are well placed to explore the ancient sites of Trevethy Quoit, a fantastic example of a Neolithic portal tomb, 9 miles away, and the stone circle at Manor Common, 16 miles away. Why not scale Rough Tor and Brown Willy during your stay? The peak of the latter is the highest point in the duchy. Tintagel Castle is 20 miles away as well as a huge selection of wonderful beaches, perfect for surfing and sunbathing.

This is a beautiful cottage set in a lovely location off the beaten track but still within easy driving distance of Looe, Tintagel, St Austell brewery, Eden Project, Bodmin Jail, Jamaica Inn etc & a Tesco a short drive away. The Frog & Bucket serves good food tho the menu is limited. Jamaica Inn is well worth a visit. Not only for food, (advisable Read moreto book if peak times), Mousaka is excellent, but the Daphne Du Maurier & Smugglers museum & the well stocked gift shop. Hide

Nice clean little cottage, quite a busy road nearby. Easy parking, fairly easy to find, we didn't walk from the cottage as the weather was not great but fairly easy travelling to get to Padstow and the Eden project.

Absolutely amazing. 5 star treatment. Myself and my family had amazing time at the cottage. Everything we needed was provided and things we didn't know we'd needed was also provided. Perfect location for peace and quiet but not too far for shopping and sight seeing. Would highly recommend.
