The place
Set in its own 90 acres, South Priddacombe takes you deep into the Cornish countryside with its setting far from anything and anyone, in the middle of Bodmin Moor. The location means there are no nearby shops, so it’s the sort of place where you stock up, settle in and never leave, gathering round the huge kitchen table, the fireplace in the lounge or the various diversions in the games room. That’s when you aren’t out on the moors of course, with walks to Rough Tor and Brown Willy, Cornwall’s highest points, starting from right outside the back door. Dogs will have to be on leads where there are livestock in the nearby fields, but there’s an enclosed garden for the morning and evening “business trips”. This being Cornwall, you’re never far from a beach either, so you have a choice of dramatic landscapes to ramble and snuffle through and more than a handful of fine pubs to find lunch in. With a place like South Priddacombe to call home though, you might just ditch the car and soak it all up on foot.
