    “I booked this property for a quiet Christmas with my partner, my dog and myself and it was absolutely perfect.”

    It's beautifully presented throughout . The kitchen was well equipped (we packed half of our kitchen cupboards to ensure we had the utensils and equipment to cook Christmas dinner but we needn't have) it was a welcome surprise to find a holiday let with all the utensils we needed and in excellent condition. On arrival there was enough logs, kindling and eco firelighters to get the first fire burning if we weren't already prepared. The view from the hot tub shows how lovely and remote it is, ...

    It's beautifully presented throughout . The kitchen was well equipped (we packed half of our kitchen cupboards to ensure we had the utensils and equipment to cook Christmas dinner but we needn't have) it was a welcome surprise to find a holiday let with all the utensils we needed and in excellent condition. On arrival there was enough logs, kindling and eco firelighters to get the first fire burning if we weren't already prepared. The view from the hot tub shows how lovely and remote it is, during the day you only see fields and in the night maybe three or four properties lit up in the distance meaning minimal light pollution affecting visibility of the starry sky. The hot tub is opposite the neighbouring holiday rental, the owners have added a pull out privacy screen that can be used to partially or fully enclose the outdoor area from view. Once you are in the hot tub and settled you don't really need the screen at all due to The View being slightly uphill of the other property, all you can see is the spectacular view. Although fully remote this property provides an excellent base to explore North and South Cornwall with so many amazing beaches within a half hour drive, a small walk down an almost unused lane brings you to Cardinham woods, so the dog was really spoilt for choice. We arrived fully equipped with washing up liquid, cloths, tea towels, loo roll etc knowing even when supplies are provided they're not intended to last the duration of the stay, they are just to get you through until you get to the shops and stock up. If like me, regardless of all your preparation and planning, you manage to forget your toothbrush the good news is it's only a 10 minute drive to Bodmin where you will find all the major supermarkets, so easy to pop and grab whatever you need. Full cleaning equipment was available (hoover, dustpan, spray mop etc) which was a nice touch to help us keep on top of the wintery, Christmassy mess. Finding the property is easy if you do a google street view and drop a pin to save the location on your maps. We did this prior to travelling and had no trouble locating it. We spoke to one of the owners the day before arriving and she was very informative and offered to be available if we needed help with anything, even letting us know we could check in as early as we liked as the property was all prepped for our arrival. She checked if we were celebrating Christmas and offered to get a tree up ready for us, I confirmed we were, but also she needn't do anything as we'd already packed bits to pop around and make it festive, when we arrived we found she had still taken the time to add a few festive touches to the table and window sills which were very much appreciated. We didn't have any need to contact the owners during our stay but met Sharon when we were leaving and she was as lovely as she had sounded on the phone. Overall a brilliant location, perfect home from home and very accommodating owners. We will definitely be looking to book again in the future.

The property

The View, a beautifully furnished single storey cottage, on the edge of Cardinham woods, the perfect go to Cornish destination.

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, near Bodmin Moors, making it the best location for north and south coastal beaches and tourist attractions.

Boasting stunning countryside views, a woodburning stove and spacious open-plan interior, The View welcomes two guests to experience the ultimate romantic getaway in Cornwall.

After unloading in the off-road parking area, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and kick back in front of a roaring woodburning stove, ready to enjoy some light entertainment on the Smart TV as your other half rustles up a tasty feast in the well-equipped kitchen; settle down at the intimate dining table and tuck in, toasting to a wonderful getaway with your loved one over a bottle of bubbly.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out onto your very own private patio where you can enjoy a feast and admire your beautiful surroundings; for an added touch of decadence take a relaxing soak in the bubbling hot tub and relax as the stars appear overhead.

When the evening draws to a close, retreat to a spacious shower room to freshen up ahead of clambering into a sumptuous king-size bed to catch your sleep.

If you can tear yourself away from this fantastic dwelling, begin your day in the centre of Bodmin where you can tour the eighteenth-century Bodmin Jail and Bodmin Town Museum, all before indulging in dinner and drinks at one of several pubs, restaurants and bars on offer here.

Nature lovers may appreciate a day spent in Forestry England’s Cardinham Woods whereas animal enthusiasts are guaranteed to love Alpaca Trekking at Moor View Alpacas; embark on a range of walking, hiking or cycling trails that can be discovered in this lovely part of Cornwall.

However you choose while away the days here in Cornwall, do it from the stunning home-from-home of The View.

About the location

CARDINHAM

Bodmin 5 miles; Lostwithiel 9 miles; St. Austell 15 miles; Padstow 22 miles; Newquay 24 miles.

The village of Cardinham in Mid Cornwall has a church and there's also a cafe in Cardinham Woods, a haven for cyclists and walkers situated just a few miles away. Bodmin, the one time County Town of Cornwall with its narrow streets, shops and pubs, is perfectly placed for exploring all that this fabulous holiday area has to offer. The outstanding surf, rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the north coast beaches and the quieter sands and river estuaries of the south coast are both 15 miles away while on the edge of town is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail. The popular Camel Trail for cyclists and walkers also winds its way through the town on its journey to the sea at Padstow. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. Nearby there is the impressive National Trust property of Lanhydrock House open all year, offering a complete insight to life from Queen Victoria to the First World War. For Steam Railway Enthusiasts there is also the Bodmin and Wenford Railway which also connects with the Camel Trail. Also there's a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.

Please note: From January until end of March 2026 we accept short breaks with a minimum stay requirement of 3 nights.Outside of this period only weekly bookings can be accommodated starting on a Friday.
