Book NowPositioned within the small hamlet of Warleggan on the south side of Bodmin Moor, Badgers Cottage is a delightful, dog friendly property, with a wood burning stove to keep you cosy on a blustery autumn day and a quiet garden with far reaching rural views, a perfect spot for a summer al fresco dinner or barbecue. If you are wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of city life you will not find anywhere more peaceful.
Before Warleggan was linked to the A38 in 1953 and more recently to the A30 it was considered one of the remotest parts of the county, now a mere 4 miles from the dual carriageway this hamlet offers fabulous links to both the North Coast and it's glorious golden sands, secluded coves and wild promontories but also the pretty fishing villages and artists retreat along the South Coast including Looe and Polperro, the Eden project, Lanhydrock House and the start of the Camel trail.

Bodmin Moor, bisected by the newly expanded A30 is home to one of Cornwalls Areas of Oustanding Natural Beauty. Reaching a height of 1,377 feet above sea level at Brown Willy, Cornwalls highest point. The heather covered granite moorland provides East Cornwall with the most stunning country views and rugged walks. Near Blisland you will find two of Cornwalls stone circles, the Trippet Stones and Stripple Stone Henge and just round the corner, one end of the famous Camel Trail. The 18 mile Camel Trail follows the route of the old railway along traffic free paths, providing a fairly flat cycle through Bodmin and Wadebridge out to Padstow, eminently suitable for families.
The National Lobster Hatchery at Padstow neighbours Rick Steins empire on the North Coast. The Bodmin and Wenford Railway, the first steam operated railway in Cornwall, takes in 13 miles of countryside. Also just outside Bodmin is the Camel Valley Vineyard who have been winning awards for their home grown wine for the past 20 years. The National Trust have three properties nearby Lanhydrock House, Trerice and Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps. Slightly further afield is the Eden Project in St Austell.
North Cornwall is as famous for its rugged coastline as it is for its surfing. You can hire surf boards and equipment from Polzeath, up as far as Bude and Widemouth Bay. Boscastle is the only natural harbour for 20 miles and at low tides and certain weather conditions you can find a blowhole at the mouth of the harbour. Tintagel brings with it legends of King Arthur and the remains of Tintagel Castle can be visited on foot. Nearby Camelford is rumoured to be the Camelot of legends past, and the finding of 'Arthurs Stone' in 1998 has only fuelled these myths. On Bodmin Moor, Dozmary pond is thought to contain Arthur's Excalibur, and Merlin is thought to be still found walking under Tintagel Island. Port Isaac is the location of the televisions series Poldark and more recently Doc Martin, as well as being a gorgeous working fishing village.
Bodmin Jail built in 1778, notorious for its public executions by hanging, was the first jail to be built housing inmates in individual cells. The Jail closed in 1927 and is now a museum open to the public, which during the First World War housed the Crown Jewels and the Doomsday Book. The famous Camel Trail follows the route of the old railway along traffic free paths for 18 miles, providing the whole family with a fairly flat cycle through Bodmin and Wadebridge, and out to Padstow where you can sample Rick Steins famous Fish and Chips. The market town of Launceston is the capital of Cornwall and well worth a visit to see the church of St Mary Magdelene, with granite carvings, unusual among Cornish churches.

Guest from Newcastle upon Tyne stayed for 7 nights.
We found the cottage in a very quiet location where very little traffic passes the property, which is ideal for those wanting to have a relaxing holiday. It was quaint, with little nooks and crannies where you could read your book in a different comfortable position every day. The rooms were very clean throughout with the kitchen being fully fitted with all the modern appliances. I am 5' 7" tall and some of the low height doorways may be a problem for people that are taller but that shouldn't distract from how lovely this cottage is. Our hosts, Keith and Jenny were very welcoming and helpful and the visitors book indicates that many people return time and time again. I/we recommend this property for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

This is our second Christmas visit to this lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere which is perfect for a getaway from everything and everyone. Owners are very friendly on arrival and they leave you alone during your stay which we prefer, although they only live next door if you really need them. Open fire make it nice and cosy, firewood was provided, well equipped kitchen means all you need is your food shopping, amazing views across the fields, love that it's dog friendly, got to pick fresh veg from the allotment, well situated for visiting Padstow, St Austell and Tintagel as well as Bude for the Christmas day swim at the beach, all of which are about 1 hour drive. Would highly recommend for the people who like quiet, long walks and great scenery.

We loved everything about Badgers Cottage - fabulous location, lovely hosts, cosy and comfortable accommodation with thoughtful touches that made us feel very welcome. Much effort obviously goes into making sure that guests have everything they need at the cottage. It was also perfect for our two dogs - we all had a great time!

Guest from Didcot stayed for 7 nights.
A warm cozy cottage with a,wonderful closed in garden that our dog adores. Views of miles of moorland and farmland in a tiny village on the edge of Bodmin moor. If you want a peaceful holiday with plenty of walking this is especially for you. The cottage is completely self contained. One word of warning for those that do not know the area do not go out unprepared the weather can be very unpredictable. This was our 5th time in 6 years and we look forward to coming back to our second home next time!

Guest from Barnstaple stayed for 7 nights.
Seven days went by so quickly. We loved driving across Bodmin moor to the Badgers Cottage in Warleggan. It was love at first sight for the four of us and the best of it is we come from a rural area in Devon.. The small old granite cottage has been extended making it cute & comfortable. We slept, enjoyed our breakfast there and were out during daylight hours, often to come back to a meal and relax in the evening. Everything was in the cottage that we wanted. The owners live next door and were welcoming and helpful. We can recommend the pub in St Neots for an evening meal.

Guest from Northwich stayed for 7 nights.
Badger Cottage is a delightful cottage with all the home comforts needed. Very clean, warm and cosy. The views from the main bedroom are spectacular. You can lie in bed and see nothing but the moor in front of you, an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to be there when the primroses were out on the lanes. England at its most beautiful, the moor and the open skies were wonderful.

Guest from Calne stayed for 7 nights.
Fantastic place. Well off the beaten track, but easy to reach everywhere because of its location. I stayed with my dog for a week and I didnt have a single worry. Secure garden, surrounded by moor. She was shattered! Lovely, clean cottage and owners just next door if you need advice. Thank you.

Guest from Potsdam stayed for 7 nights.
Ein liebevoll eingerichtetes altes kleines cottage, in absolut ruhiger Lage. Der Essbereich ist etwas eng, aber man kommt zurecht. Wir kamen mit Hund, und dachten in Cornwall könne man überall mit dem Hund in die Natur und ihn laufen lassen. Dem ist leider nicht so, überall sind Hecken und Zäune. Aber in Warleggan gibt es fußläufig ein Moor, wo der Hund rennen kann, allerdings laufen in den Mooren dort Schafe, Rinder und Ponys frei rum. Der Hund sollte keinen Jagdtrieb haben! Es gibt viele Ausflugsziele, allerdings braucht man immer zwischen 30-60 Minuten mit dem Auto. Wer sich also fernab der üblichen Touristenziele erholen möchte, ist hier genau richtig!

Guest from Walsall stayed for 14 nights.
I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for peace and quiet. A charming cottage with everything you need (including a washing machine!). Very conveniently located on south Bodmin Moor with plenty of walks nearby and much more within a 30 minutes drive. The coast is only 45 minutes or so from here. Keith and Jenny are lovely people and made us feel very welcome. We are hoping to get to know them much better over the coming years . . . we are definitely going back! And if you have dogs, they are very welcome here at Badgers and there are plenty of places nearby to walk them! For wildlife enthusista ther is plenty to see, although we didn't see any badgers, we know they are there! A great place to retreat to. We already have friends who are looking to book the cottage!

Guest from Longfield stayed for 7 nights.
Loved the cottage and the location, having use of the owners field opposite to take the dog for a run was really appreciated! The beds were very comfortable and ensured we had a good nights sleep every night! Perfect base for exploring the Moor and all the usual attractions Cornwall has to offer. Would recommend!

Lovely original old cottage with great views in beautiful countryside, private garden. Hospitable welcome from our hosts who live next door, could not fault it. Dog friendly and they loved the garden with a miniature 'rain forest' which they loved to run through.

Cosy cottage in a quiet part of Bodmin Moor. Warm welcome from Keith & Jen (and Cyril, the next door neighbour).on arrival, including Cornish biscuits and milk. Cottage was scrupulously clean and contained all we needed for our stay - felt like home. Lovely enclosed south-facing garden (vital with our dog!), perfect for outdoor meals.and fantastic views. Short walk up the lane to the open moor... couldn't be better.
