Upton Cross is a quaint Cornish village on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor that was once home to miners but is now a peaceful refuge. The Cheesewrings, Sharp Tor, the engine houses at Minions, Kitt Hill, and Caradon Hill are just a few of the many breathtaking sights that can be reached from this location on Bodmin Moor. There is a Post Office and a classic bar in the village that dates back to the 17th century. The pounding waves of the north shore and the calm waters and fishing communities of the south are both easily accessible. Six miles away, at Siblyback Lake, anglers and water sport enthusiasts may cool down, while nearby rivers provide salmon and trout fishing. The outdoor theatre at Upton Cross features a wide range of performances throughout the year. A quaint Cornish town, perfect for a relaxing holiday.

  • Christopher

    Exceptionally clean inside and very friendly and comfortable. At the end of the gravelled parking area are a couple of seats where you can sit and look at the most beautiful view across the valley. Be aware of the single track roads to and from the property.

  • Patricia

    The cottage is quiet and comfortable with walks around for the dog. We were welcomed with some lovely scones and treats for Toto. This is a really nice place to stay.

  • Alan

    It is a very comfortable property with a lot of character and set in a beautiful location . There are great walks nearby on Bodmin moor and the central location makes for easy driving to both the North and South Coast. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.
