Ideally Located in Central Cornwall

South Priddacombe sits in the wild heart of Bodmin Moor – perfectly placed for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer, yet blissfully remote when you’re ready to retreat from it all.

From here you can reach both the north and south coasts, discover ancient moorland landmarks on foot, and still come “home” to 90 acres of peaceful, private moorland and a cosy fire.

In the Wild Heart of Bodmin Moor

South Priddacombe is tucked away down a couple of miles of unmade track on Bodmin Moor in east Cornwall. The setting feels wonderfully remote: big skies, granite tors on the horizon and heathered moorland all around.

Step outside the front door and you’re straight onto the moor – no roads to cross, no cars to dodge – just open countryside and miles of walking in every direction.

Perfectly Placed for Coast-to-Coast Exploring

Being in central Cornwall means you’re never far from the sea, whichever way you turn. South Priddacombe makes a practical base for guests who like to explore widely, then come back to somewhere quiet at the end of the day.

North Coast

The rugged north coast is within easy reach for beaches, surf and cliff walks. Popular spots from the house include:

• Wild, open beaches and coastal paths with Atlantic views
• Traditional fishing villages and harbours
• Surf schools, bodyboarding and rockpooling

South Coast

The gentler south coast is also accessible for a day out:

• Sheltered coves and quieter beaches
• Harbourside towns, gardens and riverside walks
• Boat trips, paddleboarding and other watersports

Head north one day and south the next – then retreat back to the fire and wide-open moorland once you’ve had your fill of crowds and car parks.

Remote – Yet Practical

Although South Priddacombe feels a world away, it’s still a practical base:

• Central position for exploring both coasts and the wider county
• Quiet lanes and moorland roads rather than busy holiday routes
• Space to come back to – a large yard, garden and 90 acres of moorland

The approach is along a couple of miles of unmade track, so it’s worth taking your time on arrival. Once you’re here, the reward is real seclusion: no passing traffic, no light pollution – just stars, skylarks and the sound of the wind on the moor.

Who Our Location Suits Best

South Priddacombe’s central, moorland setting is especially good for:

• Walkers and hikers who want routes from the door and easy access to coastal paths.
• Families and groups who like active days out, then evenings by the fire or in the games barn.
• Dog owners looking for dog-friendly accommodation with proper countryside on the doorstep.
• Guests who value peace and space more than being in a town or village.

If you’d like to explore all corners of Cornwall but stay somewhere genuinely quiet and characterful, South Priddacombe’s central, Bodmin Moor location works beautifully.
