Providence House

Providence House is a four-bedroom converted chapel in St Breward, Cornwall's highest village on the western edge of Bodmin Moor, sleeping eight in two double and two twin bedrooms. A rating of 8 from 19 reviews and retained original arch windows from the 19th-century chapel distinguish it from the modern builds in the village.

Inside, the sensitively renovated layout keeps high ceilings, the original arch-shaped windows and room sizes well suited for two families or four couples. Two bathrooms reduce morning queues. Parking is included on site and modern electric radiators run throughout.

Outside, the property sits beside a country lane leading out of St Breward onto the open moor. Bodmin Moor itself is a short walk from the door. The 11th-century Old Inn pub and the neighbouring parish church are about 10 minutes on foot, with a children's playground in the village and riding stables a little over a mile away.

St Breward is a 10-minute drive from Bodmin, Wadebridge and Camelford, with the Camel Trail cycle path joinable at Wenford Bridge 2 miles away. The north Cornwall coastline at Trebarwith, Port Isaac and Polzeath lies about 9 miles distant. Tregardock Beach sits 5.8 miles away, Port Gaverne 6.4 miles and Bossiney Cove 8.2 miles. Prices start from GBP 683 per week with Saturday changeovers.

Nearby: Tregardock Beach (5.8 miles) and Port Gaverne Beach (6.2 miles). See our St Breward guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for two families or four couples sharing four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with on-site parking and a short walk to the moor and the Old Inn. Less suited to those wanting a beach on the doorstep, as the nearest coast is roughly six miles away.
