About The View

The View, a beautifully furnished single storey cottage, on the edge of Cardinham woods, the perfect go to Cornish destination. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, near Bodmin Moors, making it the best location for north and south coastal beaches and tourist attractions.

Boasting stunning countryside views, a woodburning stove and spacious open-plan interior, The View welcomes two guests to experience the ultimate romantic getaway in Cornwall. After unloading in the off-road parking area, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and kick back in front of a roaring woodburning stove, ready to enjoy some light entertainment on the Smart TV as your other half rustles up a tasty feast in the well-equipped kitchen; settle down at the intimate dining table and tuck in, toasting to a wonderful getaway with your loved one over a bottle of bubbly.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out onto your very own private patio where you can enjoy a feast and admire your beautiful surroundings; for an added touch of decadence take a relaxing soak in the bubbling hot tub and relax as the stars appear overhead. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to a spacious shower room to freshen up ahead of clambering into a sumptuous king-size bed to catch your sleep.

If you can tear yourself away from this fantastic dwelling, begin your day in the centre of Bodmin where you can tour the eighteenth-century Bodmin Jail and Bodmin Town Museum, all before indulging in dinner and drinks at one of several pubs, restaurants and bars on offer here. Nature lovers may appreciate a day spent in Forestry England’s Cardinham Woods whereas animal enthusiasts are guaranteed to love Alpaca Trekking at Moor View Alpacas; embark on a range of walking, hiking or cycling trails that can be discovered in this lovely part of Cornwall.

The View Reviews

Andrew
We had a lovely time at the view which was enhanced by a week of beautiful weather. We had everything we needed and the hot tub was a great bonus.the views are excellent.it is very central for travelling round cornwall.and cardinham woods and coffee shop was a nice treat right on the doorstep.the cream tea that was there on arrival was excellent .We can't really fault the place apart from the fact it wasn't quite as private as we thought it would be .but the neighbours staying in the retreat were lovely. Lastly the host Sharon was really helpful and charming .would definitely stay here again
Upon arrival we were greeted by Sharon who immediatly made us feel welcome. The cottage was very clean and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and having a tv in the bedroom was a nice touch. My only moan was that there is no window in the bathroom. However that will not put me off booking another week there next year. Sharon was an excellent host and would bend over backwards to make your stay memorable.
Sharon & Lee, have a beautiful set up, If you are looking to stay in Cornwall you won't find anywhere better. we stayed in the View for 2 but they also have fantastic options for 4 and 8 people all of which are to a very high standard. The views across the fields have to be seen to be believed.
The View is a little gem, with wonderful views. It is a great base to explore Cornwall with its history and beautiful countryside and coastline. The hot tub was an added bonus after long days walking and exploring. We would highly recommend.
We cannot recommend this property enough. Absolutely beautiful views as per the name. The property itself has all you need for a home from home stay and a lovely hot tub to sit in, enjoy the views and relax at the end of your day. Sharon and Lee the owners are a lovely couple who are very welcoming and friendly. It certainly won't be the last week we spend at The View.
The owners are really friendly, leave you alone. You can always contact them and nothing is to much trouble. The views are amazing and it's really peaceful. The hot tubjacuzzi was checked daily and always ready to use. The log burner was lovely on chilly evenings. Make sure you call Sharon or Lee before you arrive directions given by Skye not accurate enough to find the property as it is just off Bunnys Hill. Directions get you to Bunnys Hill great, but you wouldn't find the view unless you call Sharon or Lee.
Annmarie
The view was amazing, just what we needed as a couple. Even the dog enjoyed it the property was fresh clean and really comfy the log fire and the hot tub was amazing special after the long wood walks and weather was pretty miserable but that didn't stop us having amazing time and couldn't have asked for better hosts Sharon & Lee were fantastic and were always there to chat to us about anything we wanted or needed will definitely be returning when we can Thank you Sharon and Lee x
Christopher
Lovely cottage, great location for walking and beautiful views. Would have preferred a fridgefreezer rather than a fridge with an ice box. The property owners very friendly and helpful.
Patricia
The views from every window were amazing ,gorgeous comfy bed , fantastic log fire
Lee and sharon are great. We couldn't of asked for anything better from them, accomodation was perfect, the views and local walks are stunning. We will certainly be back VERY soon. You can tell lee and sharon take alot of pride in what then do. Friendly regards Ryan and Teri
Justine
Amazing place. Loved every minute. So quiet and the hot tub was gorgeous after a long walk on the beach. Bed comfy and two tvs! Didnt want to come home. Thanks to Sharon and lee for a lovely stay. Nothing was too much trouble.
Really well equipped property in a lovely location. Located central for many of our trips. The owners Sharon and Lee were very helpful.
Great cottage, well appointed, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Sharon and Lee are excellent hosts and we couldn't have asked for better
A truly wonderful place to stay, just perfect in every way, peaceful, comfortable and clean. The view is ideal for visiting Cornwall, everything is within an hours drive and you get to go back to a wonderful peaceful retreat. Hot tub is amazing, relaxing and with such a view. Owners very friendly and helpful, a real gem
All fab will be returning and will recommend to everyone.
The View is a fantastic property, with great owners, The wildlife on the front lawn and surrounding area was amazing to see. The location is great for visiting all areas of Cornwall and after a day of sightseeing coming back to the Hot tub is much needed and totally appreciated. Also if you have family and friends wanting to join you, they also have an 8 bed property next door.
Samantha
We had a wonderful stay at The View, which began with a lovely cream tea that had been left for us by the host. The views were amazing, hot tub is always a welcome addition, and the cottage was wellequipped and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and came out to greet us when we arrived. Seeing the bunnies hopping around was great. The nearby Cardinham Woods and Woods Cafe were a pleasant day out. We will definitely be looking to return to The View in the future.
Amanda

Lovely place to stay and appropriately named the view is amazing! Very clean and tidy, comfy bed, great shower. Its an ideal base to visit many Cornwall attractions, the Eden project is only about 40 minutes away. The hosts are lovely people and very helpful, the cream tea on arrival was much appreciated.

Tucked away in a beautiful quiet area. Walking distance of Cardinham woods with lots of activities & walks. Short drive from all major road links,shops etc. Spacious for 2 people, well equipped,appointed and spotlessly clean. Great clean hotub with breath taking views. Owners very friendly and knowledgeable. Can't recommend this place enough & will definitely visit again. A great place to visit if you want to relax away from the hustle and bustle !
Leslie
Very clean. View was amazing and peaceful. Amazing comfortable bed. We found the sofa a little small. Hot tub ready for when we arrived. Lovely welcome pack.
We have just returned from a week's holiday at the view, it was in a perfect location. While you was there it looked like you was in the middle of nowhere but you was 5 mins away from bodmin and roads to take you where you would like to get too, very centralised. The lodge was to a high standard the views were amazing and a lovely hot tub to relax in. The owners were lovely, happy to answer any questions you had. I would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay
Michael
Beautiful property and location. We had a relaxing time. Great central location for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Sharon and Lee for the treats.
The view is in a fantastic location, perfect retreat after a day of exploring the surrounding towns and walks on the moors. The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with the added bonus of its own patio area and hot tub, which was fantastic after long walks! Cardinham woods are within walking distance of the property, with easy or more difficult trails and also a very nice caf. Really enjoyed our stay at the view and hopefully we will return soon for another holiday. We recommend!!
