Dairy Cottage

Dairy Cottage is a ground-floor, two-bedroom conversion at Moorgate Farm in Cardinham, a rural parish on the western edge of Bodmin Moor. The property sleeps four and sits in open countryside with off-road parking for three cars and bike storage on site.

The interior is on one level, with a country-style kitchen, an open-plan living room with wood burner, a dining area, and a sunroom. One bedroom has an en-suite wet room, while a family bathroom with bath, shower over, basin, and WC serves the second bedroom. A cot and high chair are available on request.

The kitchen has a range-style electric cooker, fridge-freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher, with access to the owners' tumble dryer. Central heating, WiFi, and electricity are included. The property does not accept pets.

Cardinham Woods, managed by Forestry England, is nearby with waymarked walking and cycling trails through the valley. The Camel Trail cycle path can be picked up at Bodmin, roughly 3 miles west, running 11.5 miles to Padstow. The nearest beaches are on the south coast - Carlyon Bay is 9 miles away and Readymoney Cove near Fowey is 9.4 miles. Bodmin Parkway station, on the mainline to London, is a short drive from the farm.

Best for walkers wanting Cardinham Woods and Bodmin Moor on the doorstep, with ground-floor, step-free living. Less good for a beach-first stay - the nearest coast is a 9-mile drive, and the property does not accept pets.

Nearby: Carlyon Bay (9.3 miles) and Readymoney Cove (9.3 miles). See our Cardinham Woods guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
