Oaklands

Oaklands is a 3-bedroom cottage in Davidstow, set inland on the edge of Bodmin Moor and sleeping 6 across 2 bathrooms. One king-size bedroom is on the ground floor, and there is a wet room downstairs. The garden is not enclosed. Parking is directly in front of the property, and wifi, dishwasher and washing machine are included. The cottage sits alongside a river, so children need supervising near the water. Two pets are welcome at £35 per week per pet.

Davidstow sits in the upper Camel valley, with Bodmin Moor to the south and the north Cornwall coast within a 15 to 20 minute drive. The nearest beach is about 5 miles away. Bossiney Cove is a remote sandy cove reached via a steep path, with no lifeguard cover and limited facilities. Crackington Haven is a National Trust beach in a deep combe with a seasonal cafe and surf conditions that attract experienced surfers. Tregardock Beach is one of the most isolated beaches on the north coast, accessible only on foot.

The shops and pubs are about 3 miles away in Camelford, which has a supermarket, a pub and independent shops. The area suits guests who prefer a rural interior base over a coastal one - within range of both the moor and the sea but without the summer crowds of the coastal towns.

Good for families or small groups who want space and quiet, within reach of the north Cornwall coast. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less good for guests who want to walk to a beach. Changeover is Saturday.
