  • Beautiful, stone holiday retreat offering cosy, contemporary accommodation for couples
  • An idyllic cottage enjoying a secluded countryside location with direct access to the Camel Trail
  • Stylishly presented, colourful interiors, underfloor heating and a wood burner add comfort and charm  
Property code: OC-P00438

This romantic retreat enjoys a peaceful location, tucked away down a leafy lane in Cornwall’s picturesque Camel Valley. The market town of Wadebridge (5 miles) has some lovely local shops to peruse, and 14 miles away is Padstow, offering highly-end restaurants, boat trips, quirky boutiques, and sandy beaches. After a day of exploring, return to your cosy bolthole to unwind by the wood burner or take a gentle stroll around the gorgeous, shared grounds.

The converted stone barn boasts many original features and is decorated and furnished in a cute, country-cottage style. A wood burner and underfloor heating ensure a warm welcome awaits, whatever the season, and the homely touches will make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your stay. The ground floor comprises a charming lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can share romantic meals together at the sweet dining table and snuggle up on the plump sofa in the glow of the wood burner. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the pretty king-size bedroom for a good night’s rest. A stylish shower room completes the accommodation. In the evenings, sip a sundowner in your private courtyard, or take a sunset stroll around the extensive shared grounds. Guests are also welcome to purchase a rod licence and fish on the stretch of river that passes nearby.

The walking and cycling opportunities in the area are fantastic, with The Camel Trail passing the property, the South West Coast Path within 12 miles, and Bodmin Moor just 7 miles away. Those wishing to try surfing can head to the hotspots of Polzeath (12 miles) or Constantine Bay (16 miles), or for secluded beaches and rugged landscapes, spend the day at St George’s Cove or Hawker’s Cove near Padstow. Nearby days out include Lanhydrock National Trust (4.5 miles) and Prideaux Place (14 miles).

The property was lovely, very comfortable and equipped with everything you needed. Jo was an excellent host and very friendly, even bringing us some surplus plums from her fruit trees. Having the Camel Trail virtually on our doorstep was a real bonus when it came to walking our young Border Terrier each morning. Overall, we had a very relaxing stayRead more which was just what we wanted, and would definitely consider staying at the property if we were to visit the area again in the future. Hide

The Hayloft doesn't disappoint. The single track drive to the property is fairly magical in its self weaving through trees, past a meadow & running along side the river, it crosses over the Came Trail a few times (this trail is an old railway line which you can walk/cycle along into Wadebridge, Padstow & Bodmin, also takes you up to the local pub TRead morehe Borough Arms) In a peaceful & quiet location this is beautiful conversion of a small farm building into a comfortable & cosy one bedroom cottage. Lovely open plan living room, dining & cute little kitchen with everything you need for the perfect home from home stay, upstairs is a spacious bedroom & good sized bathroom with a large walk-in shower, from the bedroom there is access to the upper outside patio area which is fenced in for our furry companions, a small gate & some steps lead down to the front door/parking area. Simply furnished & decorated it has a nice warm welcoming feel as soon as you arrive, this is only rivalled by the friendly welcoming of the owners who have paid attention to the details & ensure you are settled & have all you need. Located in Dunmere just outside Bodmin you are fairly centralised for day trips out, we managed to visit Lands End, Boscastle, Tintagel, Wadebridge & Padstow (we hired bikes from the cycle hire at the Borough Arms car park) Bodmin (walked in on the Camel Trail to visit Bodmin Jail attraction) & the beautiful quaint Port Issac. We had the best time & I highly recommend this property for those seeking a tranquil retreat from a busy world, mobile reception is non existent (perfect) internet is patchy (not really bothered) but the wi-fi is good if you want to use it. Dog friendly this was just great for us & our 6 month old Westie, we will definitely be returning. Hide
