Rosies Retreat

Rosies Retreat is a three-bedroom wooden lodge for six guests in Davidstow, set beside the River Inny on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor. One double and two twin rooms share two bathrooms, a layout that suits a family or a group of friends who prefer separate beds over doubling up.

WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, washing machine and garden are all included, and up to three dogs can stay under the dog-friendly policy. There is no BBQ or hot tub, so outdoor cooking needs planning ahead. Moorland walking routes start close to the lodge, with coastal-path access also within reach for longer days out.

Bossiney Cove Beach is 5.8 miles away. Crackington Haven Beach is 6.1 miles from the lodge and Tregardock Beach 7.3 miles, all a drive rather than a walk from this moorland setting. Coastal fishing villages and coves further along the coast are also within reach for day trips.

Rooms start from £698 a night. Host Charlie manages the booking, and the lodge holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 15 reviews, one of the stronger scores among Davidstow-area properties.

**Best for:** a family or group of friends wanting twin beds, moorland walks, laundry facilities, parking and space for up to three dogs.

**Less good for:** guests wanting walk-to-beach accommodation, EV charging, a hot tub or step-free access.
