Lower Treslea - Buzzards Reach

This barn conversion sits on the edge of Bodmin Moor, reached via a private lane onto the owner's ten-acre farm. Footpaths and bridleways lead onto the moor from the doorstep. The harbour towns of Fowey and Polperro are within 11 miles to the south, while Port Isaac (of Doc Martin fame), fish and chips at Rick Stein's in Padstow, and the surf beaches at Polzeath and Newquay are within reach to the north. The Eden Project, several National Trust properties, and cycling trails at Cardinham are also nearby.

The converted barn has exposed beams and slate flooring throughout. The lounge has a Smart TV, DVD player, and a reclining corner sofa. The kitchen/diner seats four and is equipped with an electric cooker, microwave, fridge with small freezer section, dishwasher, Nescafe coffee machine, washing machine and CD player/radio. Both bedrooms - one double, one twin - have their own en-suite shower rooms with WC, and a stairgate is available for the top of the staircase.

Outside, the property has an enclosed rear patio with private hot tub, outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ.

Nearby: Readymoney Cove (10.8 miles) and Lansallos Beach (10.9 miles). See our St Neot guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for dog owners wanting a private hot tub and moorland walks from the door, about 11 miles from Fowey and Polperro. Less good for anyone wanting a beach within a short drive - the nearest coast is over 10 miles away.
