Edge-of-Bodmin Moor cottage with exceptional dark skies

The Old Cattle Shed is a two-bedroom cottage near Altarnun on the edge of Bodmin Moor, sleeping four with woodland views and dark skies. The inland setting suits moorland days rather than a beach-focused break.

One bedroom has a double bed. The other is a bunk room with a double below and a single above; children under 6 cannot use the top bunk for safety and insurance reasons. One bathroom serves both rooms. WiFi and a dishwasher are included. The lounge has a Smart TV and handmade games are provided.

The enclosed garden has a barbecue and looks over woodland, and up to two dogs can stay. Parking is included at the cottage for guests arriving by car.

Bossiney Cove is 10.2 miles away, Crackington Haven is 10.4 miles away and Tregardock Beach is 10.6 miles from the cottage, so every beach trip needs a car. Altarnun itself is known for St Nonna's church, sometimes called the Cathedral of the Moor, with a 100-foot tower and 79 carved bench ends.

**Best for:** A family bringing up to two dogs for moorland walks and dark-sky evenings.

**Less good for:** Families with a child under 6 needing the top bunk, or guests wanting a nearby beach.
