The location is as idyllic as it is convenient. Easily accessible from the A30, it’s an easy and accessible location to explore the whole of Cornwall and access local amenities without miles of winding lanes, but just distant enough from the outside world to be a quiet rural retreat

Both the North and South coasts are 20 minutes away. It’s an ideal location to explore the mystical Bodmin Moor. Forestry England’s Cardinham woods with its own visitor centre, walking and mountain biking trails are at the end of the drive, making it ideals for adventure lovers too and a haven for dogs, with lots of walks straight from the door.

Rainy Day Excursions, Bodmin’s Indoors Gems

Steam enthusiasts can embark on a nostalgic journey aboard the Bodmin Railway, Cornwall’s sole full-size working steam railway.

Head into Cornwall’s military history at Bodmin Keep, housing the evocative Cornwall’s Army Museum, or step back in time at Lanhydrock House, a grand Victorian estate just outside town.

For a unique experience, visit Discovering 42, Bodmin’s science centre, where flashing lights, strong magnets, and interactive exhibits promise entertainment for all ages.

 

Historical Bodmin

Bodmin carries the echoes of a haunting murder mystery from April 1844 when Charlotte Dymond’s lifeless body was found on Bodmin Moor.

The tragic tale involves her alleged walk with boyfriend Matthew Weeks, who was later arrested and tried at the Shire Hall, now the Cornwall Crown Court. The controversial trial led to Weeks’ execution.

Stroll through Bodmin, where imposing granite structures narrate the town’s significance during the 19th-century mining boom.

The Shire Hall, once the county courtroom, and the 15th-century St Petroc’s Church, Cornwall’s largest parish church, add layers to Bodmin’s historical tapestry.

Fantastic!!! We're from Australia and stayed for a week in August. The cottage was amazing, very clean and comfortable. Everything had been thought of by Dave and Emma, who are great hosts. From the super comfortable beds, fluffy towels and welcome hamper. The robes and slippers were a nice touch and little additions like the phone chargers made all the difference. We also used the sauna and hot tub area, which was awesome. Thank you so much, highly recommend and we will return. Thanks again.

Absolutely LOVE this place! We have stayed at the Tawnamoor cottages twice now, are booked to come again in August and then again in October. The cottages are so cosy, welcoming, beautifully clean and Bodmin is such a great central spot to explore Cornwall. David and Emma are fantastic hosts, have thought of every amenity (welcome box, hot tubs, dog beds/towels, the list goes on). I would HIGHLY recommend a stay and we can't wait for our next stay.

Enjoy a get together

Our grounds are a perfect getaway for group activities and get togethers.  With enough space to erect gazebos and shelter for various events, or tranquil space for group retreats such as yoga and meditation.
