Upton Cross is a quiet Cornish settlement on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor that was once home to miners but is now a peaceful getaway. The Cheesewrings, Sharp Tor, and the engine houses at Minions, in addition to Kitt Hill and Caradon Hill, are just a short drive away. There's a Post Office and a classic pub in the village that dates back to the 17th century, and the food's really decent, too. The waves of the north shore and the calm waters and fishing communities of the south are both easily accessible. You may go fishing for salmon and trout in the nearby rivers, or enjoy a day on the lake at Siblyback Lake, which is only 6 miles away. In Upton Cross, there is a seasonal outdoor theatre that features a wide range of performances. A quaint Cornish town, perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Only thing was the kitchen cleanliness could be slightly improved. However the barn was really cosy and it's location meant we were able to visit lots of different parts of Cornwall.

As with the first stay, the property was very clean and comfortable. The location is convenient for walking and the coast and local amenities are within a short distance. The location is superb and full of character. Would definitely recommend.
