Property code: OC-P00437

Situated in a very secluded and peaceful spot just 2 miles from Bodmin with the famous Camel Trail which has 18 miles of tranquil path to explore on bike or foot right on your doorstep. This characterful holiday home sits in a rural location in central Cornwall, just a short drive from the county’s North and South coast and beaches (both less than 12 miles). While this may be a secluded spot, there are plenty of things to do nearby. Bodmin is the historic former county town of Cornwall with plenty for visitors to explore, including Bodmin Jail and Wenford Steam Railway. Discover the renowned Eden Project (10 miles), the National Trust estate of Lanhydrock (5 miles) or the Camel Creek Family Theme Park (12.5 miles). For coastal days out, head to Par Sands, Fowey or Padstow. Not only this, but anglers will be happy to know on-site fishing is also available.

This beautifully presented reverse-level cottage is spacious and light, with guests’ comfort and relaxation in mind. The property can be entered either from the ground floor at the front to the bedrooms or from the private courtyard at the back to the living space. The living space has a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which features a vaulted ceiling and tiled flooring. There are comfortable sofas in front of the crackling wood burner and a Smart TV for family entertainment. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a convenient breakfast island and a Belfast sink for country-living charm. Adjacent to this is a large farmhouse table and chairs. The final room on the first floor is a convenient WC. Heading down the stairs to the lower level there is one king-size master bedroom with en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms. There is also a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

From the living space, head down a small set of stone steps to a spacious sunny patio with garden furniture. There is also a shed for storing surfboards and bikes. You also have access to shared meadow which extend towards the River Camel. Fishing is available here on private land after the purchase of a rod licence. Private parking is available.

This is our third year at The Byre. Its a welcoming, clean, cosy and well equipped home from home. We were met by the new owner Jo who ensured we had everything we needed plus some treats as a celebration of her new venture. We wish her every success and look forward to coming back to The Byre.
