Throughout, the cottage exudes a warm and cottagey feel, creating an inviting atmosphere.
The surroundings are exceptionally peaceful, immersed in the breathtaking countryside near Bodmin Moor, where owls, badgers, kingfishers, and herons grace the landscape, and wild deer roam freely and buzzards wheel high above. The garden outside invites you to unwind with its seating area and barbecue, providing the perfect space for al fresco dining under the dark sky nights, ideal for stargazing and catching a glimpse of the Milky Way.
