Enjoy the remote tranquillity of this superb rural escape, designed for couples, friends, or small families exploring Cornwall together. It’s set next to the owner’s house on Bodmin Moor, one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and mysterious landscapes, surrounded by walking trails and cycling routes. Hike the Smuggler’s Way for spectacular views from the moor’s two highest hills – Brown Willy and Rough Tor. For woodlands and waterfalls, head to Golitha Falls (7.5 miles), while Cardinham Woods (8 miles) offers waymarked trails and incredible scenery. The iconic Jamaica Inn (5 miles) has an atmospheric smuggler’s bar, while Bodmin (10 miles) is the nearest town for supermarkets and places to eat, plus Bodmin Jail and a nostalgic steam railway. There’s also a historic pub and shop in nearby village of St Neot (4 miles). Take your pick of beautiful beaches and fishing villages on both coastlines, including Par Sands, Looe, Polperro, and Port Isaac (all within 25 miles).
Step into this beautifully restored former barn and find sleek accommodation spread across one storey, with underfloor heating to keep you warm during the cooler months. The open-plan living space forms the social heart of the home and combines a modern kitchen with a dining space and restful lounge, all bathed in natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen features everything needed for cooking up Cornish feasts, which can be enjoyed at the wooden dining table inside or alfresco on the patio. After each meal, move over to the lounge area to unwind; sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, or pull a board game from the shelves. At the end of each day, follow the hallway to find two beautiful bedrooms: a spacious king-size room with a Smart TV, plus a twin room suited to both adults and children. Serving the bedrooms, and completing the property, is an elegant family shower room with a double walk-in shower.
Spill outside as often as possible and make full use of the sun-soaked patio. Featuring outdoor dining furniture, this is the perfect spot to gather for quiet morning coffees and evening food and drinks. You’ll also benefit from private driveway parking for two cars.
