  • "I had a wonderful week in Hornbeam, the bed was so comfy and full of pillows I nestled in and had some really good rest."

    The little kitchen was just enough with basics like washing up liquid provided and milk was left in the fridge which was a kind touch. I also used it in conjunction with a group of friends staying in the big house on the same grounds which was perfect and we all had a wonderful time but I had the perfect escape in hornbeam…!

    Thanks Nicola, we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay! All the best, Derek & Helen Owners @ TFG Property Owner

  • "This was our second time staying here, and we'll definitely be back!"

    The glamping pod is modern and beautifully decorated, with a lot of attention to detail. You'll have everything you possibly need for your vacation. While on the smaller side, the cabin is full of very smart solutions, you have a fully functioning kitchen, a great shower, a comfy bed, wifi, and amazing views. There's a fireplace outside where we had bonfires and grilled each time we stayed here. Derek and Helen are fantastic hosts, we can't wait to come back again. 100% recommended!

    Hi Judit, it was great to see you again. Thanks for coming back, and for your lovely review. We are thrilled that you had a great return visit to Cornwall and enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back next time! All the best, Derek and Helen Property Owner

About the location

ALTARNUN

Launceston 8 miles; Boscastle 14 miles; Port Isaac 18 miles.

A very pretty village on the edge of Bodmin Moor, located close to the A30, making it the perfect base from which to tour the many visitor attractions within easy reach. Altarnun itself boasts quaint stone cottages, a stream running through the village, a lovely old church, and a traditional country pub. After a long day exploring the stunning countryside around Bodmin Moor this is an ideal place in which to unwind. Explore four unique villages, Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac and Crackington Haven, each situated along the dramatic unspoiled coastline of North Cornwall. Port Isaac, a filming location in Doc Martin, is a busy port where you can still watch the fishermen hard at work. Walking and cycling are popular activities in this area and there are beautiful churches and historic buildings to discover. Venture a little further afield and walk the high tors of Bodmin Moor, surf the waves of the North Cornish coast, sample the delights of the Eden Project or take a cruise from Truro down the misty reaches of the River Fal to Falmouth. There's something for everyone nearby, from moors and river valleys to beaches and harbours, stately homes and museums to potteries and galleries.
