Set in the peaceful hamlet of Waterloo and just over half a mile from the picturesque village of Blisland is Tramanda, a large, centuries old cottage which has been beautifully and sympathetically restored by its Cornish owners.
Built after the Battle of Waterloo to accommodate soldiers returning from the war, the cottage (then two cottages next to each other) was purchased in 1919 by the same family who own it today. Tramanda is now one, very spacious, detached cottage.
Offering a rural retreat for those wishing to explore Bodmin Moor, yet only a 25-minute drive from some of Cornwall's most dramatic coastal walks and beaches, this spacious family sized property offers a warm and relaxing environment year round with double glazing, central heating and a wood burner for cosy nights in.
The village of Blisland has a beautiful church, village shop with Post Office and a traditional dog friendly pub centred around the village green. Close to the cottage you have access to a wide selection of footpaths and bridleways with access onto nearby Bodmin Moor.
The historic town of Bodmin is a fifteen-minute drive and has a wide range of amenities including two supermarkets, a sports centre, golf course, cycle hire and a mainline railway station.
The world renowned Eden Project is under a half hours drive from Tramanda.
The coastal towns of Wadebridge and Padstow are 10 and 17 miles respectively and have a range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants including Rick Steins in Padstow. The Camel Trail connects to Padstow and Wadebridge from Bodmin.
Woodland and cycle trails can be found at Lanhydrock and Cardinham a twenty minute drive away, with the historic houses of Lanhydrock, Prideaux Place and Pencarrow all within 10 miles.
The enclosed garden is mainly laid to lawn with two paved sitting areas and garden furniture provided. One of the paved areas has a sheltered pergola enabling you to enjoy the outside, whatever the weather. Charcoal BBQ also provided.
Conveniently, there is a large, undercover hot and cold outdoor shower cubicle to wash off sandy toes and muddy paws.
There is also a shed provided for the storage of bikes etc.
Rugged, wild and breathtakingly beautiful, yet steeped in myth, legend and history, a holiday on Bodmin Moor is truly unique.
An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covering nearly 200 square metres, Bodmin Moor is a vast expanse of grass upland covered in impressive granite tors, thick blankets of heather, river sources and windswept moorland ponies.
Holidays on Bodmin Moor are all about the great outdoors. It’s designated as open access land, meaning you can walk, cycle and climb until your heart’s content. Hike up Rough Tor and on to Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall, stroll along the beautiful banks of Golitha Falls, cycle along the start of the famous Camel Trail or get your heart racing on the mountain-biking tracks in Cardinham Woods. Keen ramblers, cyclists, dog owners and families alike will love exploring this spectacular landscape.
Bodmin Moor is steeped in history. As you walk along its rugged open spaces you’ll find Neolithic and Bronze Age remains, cairns and hut circles, medieval clapper bridges and old mines and quarries. There’s striking stones, like the Cheesewring, a towering stack of wind-eroded circular granite rocks, the Hurlers stone circle and the Stripple stones.
Many choose a holiday on Bodmin Moor because of its fascinating myths and legends. Visit Dozmary Pool, where it’s believed King Arthur’s sword Excalibur still lurks, search for the mysterious Beast of Bodmin Moor and stop by at the ghostly (yet cosy and friendly) Jamaica Inn, inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s novel by the same name. Keep an eye out for shooting stars too; Bodmin Moor has been awarded Dark Sky Landscape status so it’s a great place to gaze at those constellations.
But one of the best things about holidays on Bodmin Moor is that, despite its sense of wilderness, it’s really easy to reach both Cornwall’s rugged surfing beaches of the north Atalantic coast and the more sheltered sands of the south. The A30 road runs right through the middle of Bodmin Moor, so it’s a really accessible holiday spot
