About this property
Liskeard 2 miles. Perfectly located for touring Cornwall, Devon, Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, this comfortable, home-from-home holiday bungalow is set in a quiet wooded valley on the edge of the Rosecraddoc Holiday Village near Liskeard. You will feel at home the moment you enter this welcoming bungalow, and are sure to feel relaxed amid the tranquillity of the surroundings. As you go through the kitchen of the open-plan living area, the dining and sitting areas beckon you to relax, before you then pass the bathroom which is next to the two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Outside, the perfect place to relax is right beside you, so sit and ponder in total peace and quiet alongside the River Seaton, flowing down from high up on the moor.
This is also a great spot to enjoy a barbecue at the end of a day spent visiting the delights of the West Country. Easy access to South East Cornwall offers secluded coves and sandy beaches whilst both Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor offer ever-changing, spectacular scenery, beautiful and rugged.

The bungalow has everything you could possibly need for a self-catering break. Attention to detail is amazing. The park itself is picturesque and quiet with a babbling brook behind bungalow. So peaceful. I would not hesitate to book this bungalow again should I be in the Pensilva area.
