Moorland Retreat

About this property

Moorland Retreat is a delightful single-storey cottage resting near Bodmin, Cornwall, enjoying far-reaching views across Bodmin Moor, enclosed garden space, and open-plan living. Set at the end of a private country drive, this property offers a secluded setting ideal for couples seeking a rural escape, with space for dogs to join in the adventure. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully arranged studio-style interior, where the open-plan living space brings everything together in one welcoming setting. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing simple meals, flowing into a dining area where you can sit together and plan the day ahead. Beyond this, the sitting area offers a place to unwind, where a woodburning stove creates a warming focal point as evenings draw in, accompanied by a Smart TV for relaxed nights indoors.

The double bed is neatly positioned within the space, contributing to the practical and flowing layout, while a separate shower room with a walk-in shower completes the interior. Outside, the gardens provide a wonderful place to spend time, with a patio area and furniture positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding moorland views. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or watching the landscape shift throughout the day, this outdoor space encourages you to make the most of the setting. From the doorstep, Bodmin Moor offers walking routes and striking scenery, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Head to Padstow to explore the harbour and nearby Camel Trail, or visit Newquay for its renowned beaches and coastal walks.

Alternatively, venture to St Austell to discover the Eden Project, where vast biomes house a variety of plant species from around the world. With so much to see and do, Moorland Retreat provides an excellent base for exploring Cornwall.

Bodmin, the one-time County Town of Cornwall with its narrow streets, shops and pubs, is perfectly placed for exploring all that this fabulous holiday area has to offer. The outstanding surf, rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the north coast beaches and the quieter sands and river estuaries of the south coast are both 15 miles away while on the edge of town is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail. The popular Camel Trail for cyclists and walkers also winds its way through the town on its journey to the sea at Padstow. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. Also within easy reach and ideal for a fun-filled day out, guests can visit Lanhydrock House, the small town of Fowey and Charlestown with its Tall Ships, The Eden Project and Lostwithiel. There is a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
