A totally unique location on the edge of Bodmin Moor, with panoramic views stretching for miles and miles across the rolling countryside, and Dartmoor on the far horizon. Situated in a little unknown hamlet, just a mile from Minions and The Hurlers, on the top of the spectacular moors, a favourite location for walkers and families and an amazing viewpoint, so make sure you bring your cameras. The cottages surround a little courtyard with the owner living on-site, sheltered on the eastern side of Bodmin Moor and tucked away off the beaten track, it is a special place to totally relax in peace and tranquillity. If you’re looking for a quiet location with dog friendly accommodation and friendly owners in the heart of Cornwall, this is the one for you.
Each cottage is unique. The Small Barn is perfect for a small family, with good size bedrooms and a cosy open plan living/dining room/kitchen and again a lovely wood burner to snuggle up in front of. Henwood Barn is the largest of the three with a separate living room with a sofa bed for two people, a large wood burner, stone floor with rugs and big comfortable sofas. The kitchen/dining room is quite large and easily caters for seven people. Upstairs there is a single bedroom, a zip and link kingsize bed, which can be twin beds on request and a feature Victorian style double bed in the far bedroom.
This is a perfect spot for walking and cycling, the little village of Minions is just a short walk up a country lane to the open moorland and has a pub, café and small shop. The mining heritage centre, the village, the prehistoric Hurlers stone circles and the Cheesewring itself are all within walking distance. A super spot for families, couples and friends at any time of the year. Beach 15½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 11 guests.

Our stay February, 2020
The barn was lovely. Nice wood burner in the lounge, but no need for that, because the house was so warm. Good shower, very comfortable beds, all necessary equipment, very clean house. Couple good games and puzzles in the storage. Very quiet rural location with beautiful walks nearby to Minions, the highest village in Cornwall (300m above the sea level) and the Cheesewring and the Hurlers (1500BC stone rings). Beautiful rugged landscape. Things to consider - the WiFi never picked up, it was non-existent really. It worked well for us because it encouraged lots of family games (we enjoyed the luxury Scrabble set from the hosts) and even poetry reading, but if you are internet dependent, make sure you have lots of data on your phone. The host family lives on site across the narrow drive way, and it was very disconcerting to learn that the lady of the house was keeping a close eye on us through the bedroom windows. Make sure you close the blinds in the evenings, this absence of privacy and unfriendly demeanour of the host overshadowed our holidays. Other guests commented on the warm welcome from them, so I guess, it just unlucky us she didn’t like. We have a long car (VW Caddy maxi, 7 seater) and it was awkward to park it to the host’s liking, in order to accommodate her other guests needs.
