Palmers Lodge

Palmers Lodge is a one-bedroom single-storey lodge on the outskirts of Egloskerry near Launceston, sleeping 2 with a single bathroom. The entire layout is on the ground floor. A walled patio garden opens off the main living area and there is off-road parking for two cars. The garden has a BBQ.

Inside you get a washing machine, broadband via cable (there is no wifi), and an open-plan kitchen-dining-sitting room with electric heating. The cottage is part of the Penheale Manor estate, set in quiet countryside east of Bodmin Moor.

The nearest coast is about 9.3 miles away. Millook Beach is 9.1 miles - a remote shingle cove at the base of cliffs, accessible only by a steep track and with no facilities. Crackington Haven is 9.4 miles, a surf beach with a National Trust pub and seasonal car park. Both are a proper drive rather than a short outing, so this property suits guests who want a rural inland retreat rather than a beach-focused week.

For guests who want to explore by car, Egloskerry is 20 minutes from Launceston town centre and its Norman castle, and the nearest shops are about 4 miles away with pubs about 3 miles away, and the edge of Bodmin Moor is under 30 minutes south. The washing machine is a practical addition for longer stays, and the walled garden provides an outdoor space without needing to go anywhere.

Ideal for a couple wanting a quiet, self-contained base with countryside space. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Saturday changeover.
