Only 20 minutes away from the north coast, Almond Tree Cottage is one of a small cluster of converted farm buildings. Set in pretty well-maintained grounds with lawned areas, flowering shrubs and mature trees. This Cornish cottage is an ideal place from which to explore Cornwall.
The slate built cottage formerly a barn built in 1850, provides a comfortable living space. Almond Tree Cottage can sleep up to four people and a baby in a cot.
The Moor is dominated by dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of open moorland. Brown Willy, a hill on the Moor, is the highest point in Cornwall at 420 metres above sea level. Marshes and bogs on the high moor drain into shallow moorland valleys before the rivers cross on to softer shales around the Moor and carve themselves deep river valleys.
Almond Tree Cottage is a delightful privately owned self catering cottage in the parish of Advent sitting on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor and only 20 minutes from the North Cornwall coast. Originally built in the 1850’s, it is one of a small cluster of converted farm buildings, all set in pretty, well-maintained grounds with lawned areas, flowering shrubs and mature trees on the estate of Trethin Manor, previously a prominent farm and one of Cornwall’s oldest houses.
The cottage is tucked away down a winding lane lined with traditional Cornish hedges, drenched with snowdrops and catkins in February, joined by cheerful daffodils in March, carpets of bluebells in April/May, lush green with red campion, tiny blue violets, may blossom and bright strident gorse during the summer! The almond tree next to the cottage blooms in April and May.
There’s plenty of opportunity to relax in and around Almond Tree Cottage: the adjacent communal games field offers spacious recreation for children and has a brick-built BBQ; the shared games room (a converted garage) has a table tennis table, a pool table and a table football machine. And, of course, you’re deep in the Cornish countryside with quiet lanes and public footpaths – why not have a walk along the River Camel; up to Advent Church (St Adwena) or for the more adventurous to Rough Tor and the Moor?
This is the perfect retreat from which to enjoy the best of Cornwall’s coast, countryside, the moor and world famous visitor attractions like Tintagel Castle and Port Isaac. Ideal for couples, families, cyclists, surfers and walkers.
