About this property
The View, a beautifully furnished single storey cottage, on the edge of Cardinham woods, the perfect go to Cornish destination. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, near Bodmin
Moors, making it the best location for north and south coastal beaches and tourist attractions. Boasting stunning countryside views, a woodburning stove and spacious open-plan interior, The View welcomes two guests to experience the ultimate romantic getaway in Cornwall. After unloading in the off-road parking area, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and kick back in front of a roaring woodburning stove, ready to enjoy some light entertainment on the Smart TV as your other half rustles up a tasty feast in the well-equipped kitchen; settle down at the intimate dining table and tuck in, toasting to a wonderful getaway with your loved one over a bottle of bubbly. If you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out onto your very own private patio where you can enjoy a feast and admire your beautiful surroundings; for an added touch of decadence take a relaxing soak in the bubbling hot tub and relax as the stars appear overhead. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to a spacious shower room to freshen up ahead of clambering into a sumptuous king-size bed to catch your sleep. If you can tear yourself away from this fantastic dwelling, begin your day in the centre of Bodmin where you can tour the eighteenth-century Bodmin Jail and Bodmin Town Museum, all before indulging in dinner and drinks at one of several pubs, restaurants and bars on offer here. Nature lovers may appreciate a day spent in Forestry England’s Cardinham Woods whereas animal enthusiasts are guaranteed to love Alpaca Trekking at Moor View Alpacas; embark on a range of walking, hiking or cycling trails that can be discovered in this lovely part of Cornwall. However you choose while away the days here in Cornwall, do it from the stunning home-from-home of The View.
Bodmin, the former county seat of Cornwall, is well situated for discovering everything that this wonderful vacation destination has to offer with its small-town charm, shops, and pubs. Both the gentler sands and river estuaries of the south coast and the famed surf, rocky cliffs, and hidden coves of the north coast beaches are 15 miles distant, and on the outskirts of town are the intriguing museum and eerie remnants of the former Bodmin Jail. On its approach to the sea at Padstow, the well-known Camel Trail for bikers and hikers also passes through the town. The expansive, windswept magnificence of Bodmin Moor is close by, and other attractions like the unrivalled Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth's National Maritime Museum (30 miles), and the lovely harbour town of Padstow (16 miles), with its renowned restaurants and pubs, provide for wonderful days out. Visitors can visit Lanhydrock House, the tiny hamlet of Fowey, Charlestown with its tall ships, The Eden Project, and Lostwithiel, all of which are nearby and perfect for a fun-filled day trip. In the neighbourhood, there is a nice selection of rural pubs and eateries.

We had everything we needed and the hot tub was a great bonus.the views are excellent.it is very central for travelling round cornwall.and cardinham woods and coffee shop was a nice treat right on the doorstep.the cream tea that was there on arrival was excellent .We can't really fault the place apart from the fact it wasn't quite as private as we thought it would be .but the neighbours staying in the retreat were lovely. Lastly the host Sharon was really helpful and charming .would definitely stay here again

The cottage was very clean and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and having a tv in the bedroom was a nice touch. My only moan was that there is no window in the bathroom. However that will not put me off booking another week there next year. Sharon was an excellent host and would bend over backwards to make your stay memorable.

we stayed in the View (for 2 ) but they also have fantastic options for 4 and 8 people all of which are to a very high standard. The views across the fields have to be seen to be believed.
