One of Bodmin Moor's nicest communities, St Neot is located in the protected St Neot river valley on the southern edge of the moor in south-east Cornwall. The village benefits from the temperate Cornish climate and a strong sense of community. The village features a shop, a pub, and the Door Step Green, a garden established by the locals that is a lovely, tranquil area to unwind close to the church, which is well-known for its mediaeval stained glass windows and the neighbouring Holy Well. The Carnglaze Caverns are a fantastic tourist attraction that is open all year round and has three enormous caverns with a stunning subterranean lake in 6.5 acres of woodlands with fairy glen and picnic areas. They were created as a result of slate quarrying and mining in the 18th and 19th centuries. There are many excellent and interesting treks in the area, such as the "Two Valleys Stroll," which follows a portion of the Fowey River before passing through farms, open moors, and forest. It's also a necessity to take a walk to the magnificent Golitha Falls. On Bodmin Moor, numerous archaeological artefacts have been discovered, and St Neot is close to both the renowned Jamaica Inn and the mystique of Dozmary Pool, where King Arthur's sword Excalibur is said to be hidden. It takes 30 minutes to get to the north and south Cornish coasts, where you can engage in almost any kind of beach activity or water sport. Two miles away, Siblyback Lake, and five miles away, Colliford Lake, are further points of interest. Siblyback Lake is a great place to go sailing, windsurfing, and canoeing. You can also go fishing for the day at Colliford Lake.

A map for the walks you suggested would be useful, the half hour walk took me 1 and a half hours ! Also a warning about the narrowness of the entry road in case someone arrives in a big car. Overall we would recommend this cottage , it is well situated for both coasts, the facilities are good, we liked the remoteness and quiet and the access to walks in beautiful country side was great.

The welcome pack and wood for the fire were welcome touches. The kitchen was well supplied with cleaning products, tea, coffee, oil, salt and pepper. Any questions I had during my stay were answered promptly. The WiFi was great and allowed me to work. I used Treveddoe Farm instead of the postcode which took my straight there.
