2 Bedroom Cottage in Bodmin

This attractive barn conversion is in a tranquil rural setting, within a 10-acre farm with horses. It's a perfect place for smaller families or groups to unwind, with an extra relaxation factor – a hot tub. 15 miles by car from the pretty harbour town of Fowey, and even closer to the freedom of Bodmin Moor's wild walking country, you can access many more of South Cornwall's attractions.

This solidly-built stone barn has been finished in hand-smoothed traditional lime plaster, tinted to a gentle shade of cream. Inside, the original slate floor, charming exposed stonework, and natural wood furnishings create a timeless country farmhouse feel, homely and welcoming, from the bright, well-equipped kitchen to the comfy bedrooms with sumptuous and colourful fabric details. There's plenty of sofa space for resting after a long walk, and outside on your private patio you can sip a sundowner as you wait for the BBQ to get up to temperature, or sit back and relax in the hot tub watching the stars.

Fowey 16 miles away has narrow streets overlooking the deep natural harbour of the Fowey River. Here you can browse the speciality shops and decide on a restaurant – many have excellent locally-caught fish on the menu. Par Sands 14 miles away is a long sandy beach, and the South West Coast Path offers beautiful walks with views of cliffs and magical coves. Bodmin Moor beckons for hill walking – it's 8 miles to Bolventor (home to the romantic Jamaica Inn) right in the middle of the moor.
