With pet-friendly accommodation and charming interiors, this property is ideal for a family or friends looking to explore the countryside of Cornwall. The property sits on the edge of Bodmin Moor, surrounded by meadows and woodlands not far from the River Camel and is perfectly situated for those wishing to explore the picturesque yet wild Cornish coast. Recently refurbished to a high standard, enter into the inviting open-plan living area where you'll find a comfy sitting area, dining area and wood burning stove for those restful nights in.

For amenities, there is an excellent local pub a 20 minute walk away in the village of St Breward, and several local shops in neighbouring villages. Whether you want to explore rock pools, build sandcastles, or just relax with a book, you are spoilt for choice with so many beaches nearby; Trebarwith Strand, Polzeath and Tregardock to name but a few. Here there are also ample amenities, museums, and watersports facilities to keep you entertained. Take a stroll across Bodmin Moor, checking out the pretty scenery and the local wildlife as you go. You might prefer to take in some sightseeing and visit the TV home of Doc Martin at Port Isaac or venture to Tintagel where the legend of King Arthur abounds. In season, there is excellent salmon and trout fishing available in both the River Camel and the River Fowey. Come inland and visit the former administrative centre of Bodmin and its famous jail, built in 1779 and now part restored as a visitor attraction or maybe enjoy Pencarrow House, a stunning Georgian property used in the past as a film location. The Granary is a welcoming base for exploring the diverse part of Cornwall.
Nestled in the heavily wooded River Camel Valley is the pretty village of St Tudy in North Cornwall. Resting just over seven miles from the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac, and just a few miles from Bodmin Moor, St Tudy is a fantastic base for touring both the coast and countryside. St Tudy is home to a well-stocked village shop, a Post Office and a pub, St Tudy Inn, and lies just two miles from the start of the popular Camel Trail, a 17-mile cycle path following the river from Bodmin Moor down to Padstow. Surrounding attractions to visit include Tintagel Castle in the pretty coastal village of Tintagel, Pinetum Park and Pine Lodge Gardens, Lanhydrock House and Gardens, and Pencarrow House and Gardens. Visit the charming village of Port Isaac and walk the winding, narrow streets and soak up the quaint harbour scenery, or venture further south to the surfing haven of Newquay, or quieter shores of Polzeath Beach.

The living, cooking and eating area is small but adequate and the kitchen is well equipped, although could do with a container for bread and biscuits. It is clean and well maintained, with good solid walls, so it is very quiet at night. Great if you want to be near unspoilt countryside for walking and cycling. Beautiful birds and walks in the area.

So many positives about this little gem out in the Cornish countryside. 30 seconds out of the front door and you're stood on a little bridge overlooking a beautiful stream. Nature and wildlife surrounding you without a steady stream of traffic. Lots of great walks and a short drive into Bodmin or Padstow. The Granary is nestled in a valley so you feel very secluded and peaceful. We've loved every second! The house itself was brilliant and had everything we needed. Steve was on hand to help at any point and made us feel very welcome. Would absolutely recommend this as a bolthole away from daily life - we'd love to come back!
