South Priddacombe - Self-catering cottage in Cornwall
Bolventor, PL15 7TY, Cornwall
England,
Royaume-Uni
A bumpy track over cattle grids takes you to this remote, charming cottage and barn sitting huddled together all alone. Inside is cosy, characterful and quirky with plenty of space for everybody - even a 'west wing' should you come as a larger party.
You’ll find unlimited wood for the stoves, and kids will love the table tennis, table football and darts in the adjoining barn. A boot room is perfect for stashing damp walking stuff and there’s a laundry room too. Granite steps leading up to the barn are the ideal place for a sunset drink and no light pollution means on a clear night you’ll see plenty of stars.
You’re in the middle of Bodmin Moor so get on your bikes or explore on foot. Find ancient granite tors, Bronze Age sites, and Daphne Du Maurier’s atmospheric Jamaica Inn. Pack up a picnic and head for the gentle beaches in the south or the wild north coast for a day out.

Local points of interest from Alcina Ward:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Alcina Ward:
- Walk straight from the back door to Cornwall's highest points - Roughtor and Brown Willy. Feel slightly smug that everyone else has driven to the carpark. Pro tip: take a bottle of fizz for the top.
- Beaches north and south are within a 30 minute drive: take your pick based on weather, tides and preferred remoteness. Will it be a scramble down to Great Lantic Bay in the south, popping up on your surfboard at Polzeath, or a bowl of mussels at Polkerris?
- Lovely pubs. Walk across the moor for Sunday roast at St Breward Churchtown, or to the renowned Rising Sun at Altarnun. Stop on the way back from the coast at Blisland Inn to sample their own Blisland Bulldog ale overlooking the village green.
- Brunch at the magnificent Duchy Nursery; work it off with a walk across the valley to Restormel Castle (English Heritage); finish off with a tea in Lostwithiel nearby, browsing the antique shops.
- Explore the south of the moor: take a woodland walk at the magical Golitha Falls, treating yourself to BBQ lunch at Inkie's Smokehouse, then explore the ancient and mysterious stone circles at Minions.
- Hire bikes at Lanhydrock (National Trust) and explore their offroad trails; or pick up the Camel Cycle trail at Bodmin and pedal to the coast for Rick Stein's fish and chips at Padstow.
