Farm Cottage - Cornwall

About this property

Bring a mixed group for a trip back in history. Stay in a gorgeous 18th century farmhouse with original features and explore Cornish castles, Arthurian legends and mythical beasts on Bodmin Moor. It’s a great spot for inquisitive minds and anyone looking for adventure.

As you enter the cottage, you’ll find a wonderfully cosy lounge with comfortable furniture surrounding a wood burner. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking for somewhere to curl up with a good book and read the stories of Cornwall. Next door is the kitchen/diner, which has an impressive vaulted ceiling and everything you’d need to cook up a feast for hungry explorers. There’s one downstairs bedroom, a double. Upstairs you’ll see three more rooms: a single, a twin and another double. All are nicely furnished and will have everyone sleeping peacefully. Outside the farmhouse is a garden with a gravelled area and a lawn, and you can explore the extended grounds, 17 acres of meadows and forest.

Cornwall is famous for its history, and this property is in a great location for you to explore several significant places. If you head south for 19 miles you’ll find Tintagel, where King Arthur was allegedly born. There’s castle ruins, plenty of stories and a beach, so you can build (sand) castles. King Arthur’s own castle – or a mysterious ruined settlement – is 13.5 miles from the cottage and can be walked around. If you’d prefer a climb, visit Brown Willy (15 miles), also known as Bronn Wennili or ‘The Hill of the Swallows’, which is the highest point in Cornwall. For fantastic beasts, try Bodmin Moor to find the eponymous animal, 10 miles, or visit the Porfell Wildlife Park, 5.5 miles, where you’ll see lemurs and zebras. No trip to Cornwall is complete without a day in the Eden Project, 12 miles.
