Nuthatch - GTH

Cardinham, Bodmin, Cornwall

Located in Cardinham, Bodmin, Cornwall, this desirable converted barn offers a tranquil retreat for two, set amidst the stunning natural beauty of the South West of England. The property, known as Nuthatch, features an open plan living space characterized by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a stable door that enhances its rustic charm. The living area is equipped with a wood burner, digital TV, and DVD player, while the kitchen area includes a breakfast bar, electric oven, hob, microwave, and fridge. The bedroom boasts a kingsize bed and a similarly vaulted ceiling, and the bathroom is fitted with a shower over the bath and a toilet. Guests can enjoy an enclosed private patio, perfect for taking in the surrounding valley views.

The site comprises a cluster of three uniquely converted stone barns—Tawnawood, Cobble, and Nuthatch—each showcasing bespoke features crafted from wood sourced from the property’s own woodlands. Accessed via a half-mile driveway through serene woodland, the barns are surrounded by 20 acres of private land, offering a peaceful escape into nature. The area is rich in wildlife, with sightings of pheasants, hawks, and buzzards common, and in spring, the ancient woodlands are adorned with a carpet of bluebells. The barns overlook the picturesque Glynn Valley and Lanhydrock Estate, and the scenic surroundings have even served as a film set for the 2018 production of Ella’s Journey.

These mid-1700s stone barns have been thoughtfully converted to retain their rustic charm while providing modern comforts, making them ideal for romantic getaways or family retreats. Each barn features unique architectural elements and a welcoming ambiance, with beautifully landscaped gardens and stunning valley views from their private patios. The location is not only idyllic but also conveniently central, allowing easy access to local amenities and attractions across Cornwall, while still providing a quiet escape from daily life. Families can opt to book all three cottages to accommodate larger gatherings, making it a perfect spot for reunions.

Guests can explore the nearby Cardinham Woods, just a 10-minute walk away, which offers an award-winning café, cycle trails, and scenic walks suitable for all ages and abilities. For those seeking adventure, the 12k Bodmin Beast Cycle Trail provides a thrilling experience. The north and south coasts, both approximately 15 miles away, offer a variety of beaches ranging from popular spots for fishing, sailing, and surfing to secluded hideaways. The surrounding area is rich with opportunities for walking and cycling, with notable attractions such as Restormel Castle and Lostwithiel just 4 miles away, and Bodmin, with its shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities, only 3 miles from the property.
