My second visit to High View.The cottage is warm and cosy and Kate is a great host.The new village shop is a little further away than the previous one but it is well stocked with friendly staff.Bodmin Moor is wonderful at any time of the year and High View provides a great base for exploring- easy to get to both north and south coasts easily.Hope to come back soon!
