    The Lambing Shed was charming, well equipped and we both loved it. The property is stunning and I can imagine in better weather it would be lovely to get out and have a wander around. The process for getting into the property was straightforward...

Nestled between the dark, starry skies of Bodmin Moor and the sleepy hamlet of Altarnun; this boutique styled 2 bed, barn conversion, oozes tranquillity and Cornish charm. There are dramatic views across Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor and the barn is only a short drive from the beauty of the North and South Cornish Coastline; the sumptuous interiors will leave any soul fully restored. Bodmin moor is a ramblers paradise, where stunning views and cosy country pubs await. The moor is excellent for walking, hill running and mountain biking whilst the golden beaches are ideal for surfing, kayaking or swimming. The barn offers 2 luxurious bedrooms adorned with gorgeous linens, cushions and throws, a cosy open plan living area, with an electric stove to take off the chill on those winter evenings, a well equipped kitchen and a powerful, refreshing shower to awaken the senses. The Lambing Shed is the perfect place to create memories, to explore the moors, the coastline and the popular towns of Boscastle, Port Isaac, Padstow, Rock and Fowey but also to relax and unwind at the end of the day with everything you need to create that perfect holiday.

Welcome to The Lambing Shed, your holiday starts here! Relax and unwind with a nice pot of Cornish tea and a clotted cream shortbread or two. My husband and I love Cornwall for the fresh air, sea views, coastal and moorland walks; the delicious gastronomic food and lovely cosy Cornish pubs.
Quiet and leafy location, stunning moorland views across Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. Within easy reach is Roughtor, a tor on Bodmin Moor; the site is composed of the tor summit and logan stone, a neolithic tor enclosure, a large number of Bronze Age hut circles, and some contemporary monuments. Also near by is Brown Willy, the tallest point in Cornwall. The barn is just a short drive to either the North or South Coast. Trebarwith Strand, Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac are all within 25 minutes on the North Coast and Lostwithiel and Fowey on the South Coast. Slightly further afield are the lovely coastal towns of Padstow and Wadebridge all reachable within approximately 35 minutes. The Eden project is magnificent and easily reachable by car in 30 minutes. Lots to see and do from enjoying the ancient moors, the stunning rocky coastline, to visiting many sandy beeches, taking part in the water sports of paddle boarding or surfing through to visiting the Eden Project, enjoying the many gastronomical delights of the area, or maybe try some wine or gin tasting, or perhaps take a boat trip from Padstow around the coast. Our local pub The Rising Sun is just under a mile from the cottage door and is a traditional moorland pub, with cosy log burners, outdoor seating serving delicious food and local beers. Within 25 minutes the 15th Century St Kew Inn Pub serves delicious food and is recommended in the Michelin and Good Food Guide.
