The Linney

The Linney is a ground-floor converted barn in the village of St Breward, sleeping 2 in a single king-size bedroom. Both the bedroom and the open-plan lounge, diner, and kitchen face out over countryside, with a wood-burning stove providing warmth in the living area. Outside, a private patio and garden have a BBQ, and an EV charging point is available on site. The property suits couples who prefer a quieter base on the moor rather than a coastal village setting.

St Breward sits on the western flank of Bodmin Moor, and the 18-mile Camel Trail cycling route from Padstow to Bodmin starts within a mile. Local stables at 1.5 miles offer guided pony-trekking across the moor. Lanhydrock, a National Trust house and garden near Bodmin, is about 10 miles by road - a reliable wet-weather option with a Victorian kitchen garden and parkland walks.

For coastal days, Tregardock Beach on the north coast is 5.7 miles, and Port Gaverne near Port Isaac is 6 miles. The surf beaches around Polzeath and Daymer Bay are around 14 miles. See St Breward for the village pub and local walks on the moor.

Works for couples prioritising cycling, walking, or riding over beach access. The EV charging is a useful feature for electric vehicle drivers exploring rural Cornwall. Less good for those wanting a sandy beach on the doorstep - the nearest is a 20-minute drive. Dogs are not accepted. The cottage is not accessible for wheelchair users.
