About this property
A rural retreat set in a beautiful Cornish valley
2 bedroom apartment with great views situated on a smallholding. It is nestled in a picturesque valley approx. 6 miles south of Bodmin and 5 minutes from the A30. Ideal as a peaceful country retreat, away from the crowd of Summer tourists, yet situated within easy reach of all that Cornwall has to offer. 15 mins from Eden Project and 15 minutes to the north and south coast. Nearest beaches: Watergate Bay, between Newquay and Padstow; and Carlyon Bay, near St Austell.
Within 20 mins of Wadebridge, Padstow, St Austell, Bodmin and Newquay.
No bright lights, hundreds of stars on a clear night, no sirens, no traffic. Just the way we like it.
Please note that the apartment is situated on the 2nd floor and is accessed via a spiral staircase, so it may not be suitable for those that are less mobile, or with very young children.

About the host
Hosted by Kim Gray
I traded in the rat race, posh clothes, and motorways for a life in wellies in the countryside, driving narrow country lanes. I have never looked back and hope to share a piece of the good life with you.
