Luxury self-catering accommodation in Warleggan
On the romantic southern fringes of Bodmin Moor, this magical moorland community has its own quirky stories and a real feel for old Cornwall. It's also perfectly placed for those planning to see the rest of the county.
Blink and you'll miss the bijou hamlet of Warleggan, with only a scattering of stone cottages, a chapel and a picturesque church notable for its other-worldly tales. A vicar is said to have preached to an empty congregation for 20 years, thanks to his eccentric ways, and the tiny hamlet didn't even have a road leading to it until the 1950s. Book a cosy bolthole in Warleggan as a base, sitting roughly halfway between Cornwall’s north and south coasts, perfectly placed for exploring the county, with many nearby sites to visit and enjoy.
The stately attraction of Lanhydrock House is a short drive to the south, and takes visitors back in time to a bygone era, with nurseries and servants' quarters to explore and stunning gardens to walk through. Padstow to the north and Fowey to the south are two well-known harbour villages that make the perfect day-trip for those seeking boats and sea, while Golitha Falls, to the west, has incredible cascades along a picturesque section of the River Fowey. Pack yourselves a romantic picnic feast and enjoy the mesmerising natural displays.
