Your Accommodation
Set within 20 acres of private, ancient, peaceful woodland, and surrounded by a working farm, the property is accessed by a magical ½ mile driveway through the woods that gives you a real sense of adventure and ‘getting away from it all’ even before you arrive. Deer, pheasants, hawks, and buzzards may sometimes accompany your drive up through the woods and in the spring a carpet of bluebells cover the ancient woodland.
Nuthatch is a single storey, one bedroom converted 17th Century stone barn. The cosy, open plan siting room with wood burner provides a cosy setting for nights in, whilst the vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls add character. The king-size bed and modern bathroom ensure that you’ll be fully rested and refreshed for a day’s adventure.
Outside there’s an enclosed patio area and barbecue to enjoy the wildlife and fabulous valley views, ensuring that you’re able to Rest, Reset and Revive.
If you’re holidaying as an extended family or group, or need something larger, our 2 other cottages, Tawnawood and Cobble are also available, or its possible to exclusively hire the whole site. There’s even space to land a helicopter for that private, exclusive rural retreat.
The location is convenient as it is idyllic. Tawnamoor makes an ideal location to explore the whole of Cornwall. Situated just outside Bodmin on the edge of Cardinham Woods, both the North and South Cornish Coasts are a short drive away and access to local amenities is easy without miles of winding lanes but just distant enough from the outside world.

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.
Guests have access to our pastures and 14 acres of ancient woodland.
Our rates are inclusive of bed linen, towels, electricity, and wood for the log burners. Outdoor seating areas are available for guests use, as well as barbecues.
