cottage in Altarnun
One-bedroom cottage on Bodmin Moor near Altarnun with garden and parking
Jays Nest is a one-bedroom cottage at Bolventor on Bodmin Moor, sleeping two with one bathroom. The property sits in open moor countryside, with a private garden and parking. Wi-Fi and a dishwasher are included. No pets. Friday changeover.
Bolventor is one of the more isolated settlements on Bodmin Moor, best known for the Jamaica Inn pub - which stands at the crossroads of the A30. Brown Willy and Rough Tor, Cornwall's two highest points at 420m and 400m respectively, are both within reach for half-day walks. Altarnun village, 3 to 4 miles east, has a pub and the medieval church of St Nonna with 79 carved bench ends dating from the 16th century.
Bossiney Cove on the north Cornwall coast is 17.2km - a reasonable drive and the closest beach option, though the focus of this property is clearly the moor rather than the sea.
Ideal for couples who prioritise moorland walking and want a very quiet base with no neighbours close by. Good for those who enjoy complete rural isolation and have their own transport. Less good for guests needing shops, restaurants, or coastal access - Bodmin Moor offers none of these without a 25-minute drive, and the property is genuinely remote.
