About this property
Situated close to the centre of Cornwall, making it a perfect base, offering easy access to the whole county, this beautifully converted barn is set just outside the historic town of Bodmin with stunning far reaching countryside views.
The Coach house is approached via a private lane, with just the owners as neighbours. The lane, of arching beech trees and hazel, is lined by Cornish hedges, in Spring, smothered at their base with daffodils and primroses. This opens into a traditional Cornish farmyard dating from the 16th century with stables, dairy, piggeries and farmhouse, all built from Cornish slate . The property was once a dairy farm belonging to Lanhydrock House but is now privately owned and no longer a working farm.
The Coach House itself at one time housed the farm implements and vehicles but has now been totally remodelled and refurbished to a high standard. In its elevated position on the hillside it offers expansive views over gardens, woodland and surrounding farmland. Secluded parking is available for two vehicles.
The accommodation sleeps four with a double and a single bedroom. The open plan living room with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting and dining areas leads out onto a veranda, ideal for al fresco dining or simply relaxing and taking in the views. A luxurious bathroom offers both a separate bath and shower.
Its central location makes this property ideal for exploring the whole county. The harbours of Looe and Polperro, on the south coast. Port Isaac and the surf of Newquay, on the north and St Michaels Mount and St Ives in the west, only an hours drive.
Closer at hand historic Lanhydrock House, is a must along with the Eden Project. And of course we are on the edge of Bodmin Moor.
Cardinham Woods 1.5 miles away has miles of walking trails, great for dogs, mountain bike trails, with bike hire, and horse riding facilities, plus a great coffee shop and barbeque facilities by the river.
The famous Camel Trail, for walkers and bikers, can be accessed in Bodmin.
We provide an extensive list of dog walks, recommended eateries and some suggested day trips.

Stephen
The level of equipment and facilities was excellent, lovely touch with scones and clotted cream upon arrival. Great location to explore both the south and north coast. Just a few suggestions, main bedroom needs hanging space for clothes and the bathroom needs shelves or a cabinet. But highly recommended.

John is an amazing guy, nothing too difficult for him to arrange. Scones, jam and cream on the table for our arrival, all the essential (and non essential) items required for a perfect relaxing break are there. Cannot reccommend John and his cottage enough. Thanks for our second visit John, wish you all the best for the future.
