Nuthatch - Traditional Cornish Stone Cottage
An AA, Visit England, 4 Star Gold Rated, 17th Century Cornish Stone Cottage on the multi award-winning Tawnamoor Rural Retreat, a private rural retreat on the edge of Cardinham Woods & Bodmin Moor with the amenities of Bodmin close by.
Tawnamoor welcomes those who value stillness, meaningful downtime and a slower pace – making it the perfect escape for couples, solo travellers and anyone in need of a little breathing space.

An idyllic & convenient location central to everywhere in Cornwall.
Wood fired hot tub. Private enclosed garden. Additional meeting & event space available Sauna
Cobble is positioned along with 2 other cottages, Tawnawood and Cobble, just beyond the owners’ home in 20 acres of ancient peaceful private woodland, surrounded by a working farm and accessed via a ½ mile driveway up through the woods.
Accessed via their own entrance path, the three cottages are all fitted with modern appliances and have loads of character with exposed beams, and stonework, as well as log burners for you to cosy up in front of.

David and Emma are very friendly, caring hosts and we enjoyed our stay at Tawnamoor very much. Surrounded by beautiful nature it is such a unique place to stay and a good starting point to explore Cornwall.
The accomation is located in an beautiful and peaceful area and ideal for the short stay we wanted.
We were warmly welcomed by the hosts and offered as much information that was needed.
Accomation was very clean and comfortable and the use of their field was a bonus.
Property also benefits from water from its own bore hole, solar and wind energy.
Overall we would highly recommend this for peace and quiet with beautiful walks and views.
A brilliant week long stay in Nuthatch cottage with my partner and our dog. Location was great, right next to Cardinham woods and Lanhydrock National Trust which we both fantastic for dog walking. We were also able to use hosts fields next to the property. Many dog friendly beaches 20-30 mins away too. Cottage was prepped with everything we needed, was clean and bed was comfy. Would highly recommend this property!
