From the station at Bodmin Parkway you can walk to NT Lanhydrock House. From the cottages you can walk to the Camel Valley Vineyard to sample and purchase the local wines.

Lovely clean and spacious accommodation. Good location to go to either the north or south coast of Cornwall. Plenty of attractions nearby and very close to the Camel trail and Boscarne Station to watch the Bodmin steam train engine change ends for the return journey. Also only a 20min walk to the The Borough Arms for good food and cycle hire for the Camel trail. We definitely want to go again.

Excellent accommodation second year here which speaks volumes. Immaculate upon arrival and although the owners live next door they just allow you to get on with it and you don’t know they are there. The farm is beautiful and peaceful. Location is excellent to get wherever you need to. Can’t fault anything about this accommodation, location owners or experience. Hopefully back next year. Thank you
