cottage St Cleer
The Foxs Den
Hot tub and garden near Darite
The Foxs Den is a three-bedroom cottage for six in St Cleer, a village on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor. One bedroom has a king, one a double, and the second king can be split into narrow 2-foot-6-inch twins on request. Two bathrooms serve the group, and host Joanne manages the booking through HolidayCottages.
A wood burner anchors the boutique-style interior, while the garden contains a hot tub and a dedicated barbecue area. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included. Dogs are welcome, though no specific limit is stated.
Field views and direct access to a public footpath towards Minions, described as less than a mile away, make walking the stronger local draw. Minions itself, at over 1,000 feet above sea level, is the highest village in Cornwall. The Hurlers stone circles and the Trethevy Quoit dolmen, a Neolithic tomb over 5,000 years old, both sit within about 2 miles. The coast requires a longer trip: Plaidy Beach is 9.6 miles away, East Looe Beach is 10.1 miles away and Downderry Beach, dog-friendly year-round with views across Whitsand Bay, is 10.3 miles away.
The rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 16 reviews. Cleanliness scores 5, while equipment and comfort each score 4, giving a mixed but useful picture.
**Best for:** Walkers or families wanting a hot tub, field outlook, flexible beds and direct footpath access towards Minions.
**Less good for:** Guests seeking beaches close by, a stated dog limit, EV charging or step-free access.
