Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with an abundance of moorland paths and walks to ancient stone circles, this cosy studio-style barn is approached by a rural lane and short gated track that leads both to the property and the owner's adjacent farmhouse. The home is also positioned near the small, scenic village of St Breward (2 miles), well known for its granite and china clay quarries. The thriving community supports a pub and restaurant that have been serving food and drink for nearly two centuries. Both the north and south coasts are easily accessible by car, as well as the Eden Project (19 miles).

Upon entering this home through the front door, you’ll find a porch, handy for kicking off those walking boots after a day of exploring. An inner door then leads into an open-plan, split-level lounge/kitchen/diner running the length of the property - with whitewashed stone walls and exposed cross beams in the apex of the roof. At one end there is a kitchen/dining area with an electric hob and oven, fridge, microwave, washing machine and a pine table with chairs. The ideal spot to sit and plan the day's adventures with a cup of tea. A wide archway and one step then leads up to the living/sleeping area with a wood burner, comfortable two-seater sofa, TV, and a double bed. In the far corner, a door opens to the shower room with a shower and WC. Making your way outdoors, there is a level lawn, attractive gazebo, outdoor seating, and BBQ to the side of the property for visitors’ sole use. From here footpaths lead directly onto the moors. There is private parking provided for guests right outside the front door.  We are sorry but this property is not suitable for Electric Vehicle Charging. Please note there is internet however it is not suitable for streaming.

Loved staying here its out the way and peaceful, if your expecting good internet this is not for you, there is enough but very patchy. The location is remote and you are on the moors with the wildlife around you. Mike and Nicky are excellent people and make you feel welcome from the start, Mike has a wealth of knowledge about places to visit.

From the day we arrived to the day we left, we had an amazing experience. The 'boffy'was more than we expected. Cosy, warm and wanted for nothing.

Lovely remote location, although basic it has everything you would need for a perfect stay. The hosts are a lovely couple who were very attentive to any requests and fantastic hosts. This is the second time we have stayed at the Moorland Retreat and were not disappointed. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you.
