About this property
With an idyllic location, set back from the hustle and bustle of Dobwalls village in Cornwall, is this stylish holiday home, 8 Horizon View. You will find accommodation to the highest possible standard, nestled across from the slopes of Bodmin Moor and the southern Cornish coastline, inviting six guests to enjoy a true escape with a private hot tub, flexible sleeping arrangements, and an open-plan living space. Stepping into the lodge, the solid wood furniture and contemporary fixtures and fittings add a touch of class to the interior; a place where you can gather with friends and talk about the days gone by. Use this space to cook up a delicious meal for the whole family or put your feet up with a good book and wallow in the peace and quiet. Step out onto the decking and feel the fresh Cornish air on your face; the patio furniture makes a good spot for dining alfresco. Why not take a dip in the luxurious hot tub and admire the patchwork of green and yellow fields, lined with hedgerows and trees? Retreat to bed, selecting between a double with TV and en-suite, a twin with TV, and a further twin, all serviced by a sleek bathroom, before awakening to an itinerary filled with adventure. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, activities and attractions are in abundance; outdoor enthusiasts can spend their time exploring the surrounding area, including the idyllic Bodmin Moor, Moyclare Garden during warmer months and Adrenalin Quarry is open all year round for those feeling more adventurous. Set amongst a stunning backdrop, visit the breath-taking Siblyback Lake and enjoy a relaxing cruise or test your hand at a range of water sport activities. Venture into the nearby towns of Liskeard and Bodmin should you fancy an amble around a network of quirky streets, popping in and out of independent shops in search of a souvenir to take home. The Monkey Sanctuary in Looe makes a lovely day out and the picturesque fishing harbour offers crabbing and local pubs aplenty. Sit out and enjoy a pint as the boats glide out to sea. Polperro is another delightful village worth a visit, with narrow streets and colourful houses among gift boutiques and pasty shops. 8 Horizon View is remarkable retreat to be enjoyed in all seasons.

privacy has been given a lot of thought. The living area was well thought out with lovely views through the huge windows. Our dog also made himself very at home. The decking was slippery when wet for the dog but thatâs only to be expected. It caused him no problems. Pretty clean and spacious. the hot tub was checked and maintained every day. Weâd be happy to stay again if we didnât live so far away.

8 has been amazing. Comfortable, clean and exactly what was described. The views were amazing over the fields either sat having breakfast or when sat in the hot tub. The beautiful thing about the Southern Halt site is that each lodge is completely private. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and if we needed to speak to them they always followed up with a phone call. I would recommend this property to a family or friends wishing to holiday in Cornwall. The only disappointment was the weather but then we are never guaranteed that!!!
