Roughtor Cottage

Roughtor Cottage is a 3-bedroom property at Hengar Manor near St Tudy, sleeping 6 in Bodmin Moor's northern reaches. The cottage has an open fire in the living area, an enclosed garden, and EV charging on site. Guests also have access to the estate's heated swimming pool - an amenity that most self-catering properties at this price point in the area don't include. Parking, dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi are all provided.

This is an inland base. Rough Tor and Brown Willy, Cornwall's two highest points, are accessible from Bodmin Moor's open moorland a couple of miles east. Tregardock Beach is 5 miles away - a remote, cliff-backed beach with no facilities and no road access, reached by a steep footpath. Port Gaverne, just outside Port Isaac, is 5.4 miles and has a pub and sheltered cove. Bossiney Cove is 7.6 miles.

Wadebridge is the nearest town for shopping, about 3.7 miles south. Padstow is 9.3 miles west. Rock and Polzeath on the Camel Estuary are also within easy driving distance.

Best for families or groups of 6 who want a quiet inland retreat rather than a beach-facing property, but still want pool access for the children. The EV charging makes this one of a small number of properties on Bodmin Moor suitable for electric vehicle owners. Good for walkers and cyclists exploring the moor and north Cornwall lanes. Not ideal for visitors who want to be within walking distance of a beach or a village with pubs and shops. No pets. Saturday changeover.
