“Upon arrival we were greeted by Sharon who immediatly made us feel welcome.”

The cottage was very clean and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and having a tv in the bedroom was a nice touch. My only moan was that there is no window in the bathroom. However that will not put me off booking another week there next year. Sharon was an excellent host and would bend over backwards to make your stay memorable.

“Sharon & Lee, have a beautiful set up, If you are looking to stay in Cornwall you won't find anywhere better.”

we stayed in the View (for 2 ) but they also have fantastic options for 4 and 8 people all of which are to a very high standard. The views across the fields have to be seen to be believed.

“The View is a little gem, with wonderful views.”

It is a great base to explore Cornwall with its history and beautiful countryside and coastline. The hot tub was an added bonus after long days walking and exploring. We would highly recommend.

“We cannot recommend this property enough.”

Absolutely beautiful views (as per the name). The property itself has all you need for a home from home stay and a lovely hot tub to sit in, enjoy the views and relax at the end of your day. Sharon and Lee (the owners) are a lovely couple who are very welcoming and friendly. It certainly won't be the last week we spend at The View. ❤️

“The owners are really friendly, leave you alone.”

You can always contact them and nothing is to much trouble. The views are amazing and it's really peaceful. The hot tub/jacuzzi was checked daily and always ready to use. The log burner was lovely on chilly evenings. Make sure you call Sharon or Lee before you arrive directions given by Skye not accurate enough to find the property as it is just off Bunnys Hill. Directions get you to Bunnys Hill great, but you wouldn't find the view unless you call Sharon or Lee.

“The View is a fantastic property, with great owners, The wildlife on the front lawn and surrounding area was amazing to see.”

The location is great for visiting all areas of Cornwall and after a day of sightseeing coming back to the Hot tub is much needed and totally appreciated. Also if you have family and friends wanting to join you, they also have an 8 bed property next door.

“We had a wonderful stay at The View, which began with a lovely cream tea that had been left for us by the host.”

The views were amazing, hot tub is always a welcome addition, and the cottage was well-equipped and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and came out to greet us when we arrived. Seeing the bunnies hopping around was great. The nearby Cardinham Woods and Woods Cafe were a pleasant day out. We will definitely be looking to return to The View in the future.

“We have just returned from a week's holiday at the view, it was in a perfect location.”

While you was there it looked like you was in the middle of nowhere but you was 5 mins away from bodmin and roads to take you where you would like to get too, very centralised. The lodge was to a high standard the views were amazing and a lovely hot tub to relax in. The owners were lovely, happy to answer any questions you had. I would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay

Meg February 2023

“The view is in a fantastic location, perfect retreat after a day of exploring the surrounding towns and walks on the moors.”

The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with the added bonus of its own patio area and hot tub, which was fantastic after long walks! Cardinham woods are within walking distance of the property, with easy or more difficult trails and also a very nice café. Really enjoyed our stay at the view and hopefully we will return soon for another holiday. We recommend!!

The property

The View, a beautifully furnished single storey cottage, on the edge of Cardinham woods, the perfect go to Cornish destination.

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, near Bodmin Moors, making it the best location for north and south coastal beaches and tourist attractions.

Boasting stunning countryside views, a woodburning stove and spacious open-plan interior, The View welcomes two guests to experience the ultimate romantic getaway in Cornwall.

After unloading in the off-road parking area, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and kick back in front of a roaring woodburning stove, ready to enjoy some light entertainment on the Smart TV as your other half rustles up a tasty feast in the well-equipped kitchen; settle down at the intimate dining table and tuck in, toasting to a wonderful getaway with your loved one over a bottle of bubbly.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out onto your very own private patio where you can enjoy a feast and admire your beautiful surroundings; for an added touch of decadence take a relaxing soak in the bubbling hot tub and relax as the stars appear overhead.

When the evening draws to a close, retreat to a spacious shower room to freshen up ahead of clambering into a sumptuous king-size bed to catch your sleep.

If you can tear yourself away from this fantastic dwelling, begin your day in the centre of Bodmin where you can tour the eighteenth-century Bodmin Jail and Bodmin Town Museum, all before indulging in dinner and drinks at one of several pubs, restaurants and bars on offer here.

Nature lovers may appreciate a day spent in Forestry England’s Cardinham Woods whereas animal enthusiasts are guaranteed to love Alpaca Trekking at Moor View Alpacas; embark on a range of walking, hiking or cycling trails that can be discovered in this lovely part of Cornwall.

However you choose while away the days here in Cornwall, do it from the stunning home-from-home of The View.

About the location

CARDINHAM

Bodmin 5 miles; Lostwithiel 9 miles; St. Austell 15 miles; Padstow 22 miles; Newquay 24 miles.

The village of Cardinham in Mid Cornwall has a church and there's also a cafe in Cardinham Woods, a haven for cyclists and walkers situated just a few miles away. Bodmin, the one time County Town of Cornwall with its narrow streets, shops and pubs, is perfectly placed for exploring all that this fabulous holiday area has to offer. The outstanding surf, rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the north coast beaches and the quieter sands and river estuaries of the south coast are both 15 miles away while on the edge of town is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail. The popular Camel Trail for cyclists and walkers also winds its way through the town on its journey to the sea at Padstow. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. Nearby there is the impressive National Trust property of Lanhydrock House open all year, offering a complete insight to life from Queen Victoria to the First World War. For Steam Railway Enthusiasts there is also the Bodmin and Wenford Railway which also connects with the Camel Trail. Also there's a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
