Bed & Breakfast and Self catering in St. Austell and Bodmin |
||||||||||||||||
All our bedrooms are on the ground floor, with easy access to the private south-facing garden, equipped with picnic furniture and barbeque. The bedrooms all have thermostatically controlled heating, so the temperature can easily be adjusted to your liking. One of the family rooms has a wet room with the disabled in mind, and we have an additional disabled bathroom. We also have a chair lift to access the upper floor. The extensive lounge is situated upstairs to take full advantage of the stunning panoramic views overlooking Cornwall Wildlife Trusts 54 hectares of Special Scientific Interest at Breney Common and the Neolithic site of Helman Tor.
If you choose to experience our hearty Cornish breakfast, it will set you up to walk the short distance to Helman Tor or even Cornwall's famous Eden Project, which is less than five miles away. The multi million pound millennium project is a dramatic global garden, the size of 30 football pitches, created in a disused china clay pit. The scale, and unique setting have resulted in the Eden Project becoming an international visitor attraction. If you want to learn more about the production of china clay from 1800 to the present day, you can visit Wheal Martyn near St. Austell, a museum set on a 26 acre site of two former 19th century china clay works. If you want to experience a week "transport free", there are plenty of purpose built walks or cycle routes around Tor View, and we have a C.C.C. approved riding stable next door. We are situated on the Saints Way, the old pilgrimage route from Padstow to Fowey and the Coast and Clay Trail section of the Cornish Way, part of the National Cycle Network. The Network is a visionary project to create 9,000 miles of routes for cyclists and walkers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland by 2005. We are also near the Camel Trail, created from a former steam railway line, which offers 16 miles of all-weather off road cycling. The Trail is also ideal for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Whether you are an avid bird watcher, or just interested in wildlife, the Camel trail offers a wealth and diversity of bird life. Whilst taking in breathtaking views of the Camel Estuary and Padstow, you can see flocks of Curlew and Oystercatchers throughout the year, and Golden Plover and Lapwing in the winter months. The centre section of the trail homes Dipper, Kingfisher and Grey Wagtail to name just a few.
The widest range of dragonfly species in the country can he found just two miles away on Goss Moor National Nature Reserve, the largest wetland and heathland complex in the southwest. Nearby we also have an abundance of wildlife and the famous Dartmoor ponies, on Bodmin Moor. This is Europe's least eroded moor and home to the second highest place in Cornwall, Rough Tor, owned by the National Trust. Nearer to home, in the picturesque Luxulyan Valley, there is also a diversity of wildlife, including greater horseshoe bats and a healthy otter population. There is also a magnificent viaduct, owned by the Cornwall Heritage Trust, which has ten granite arches, crossing the river at a height of 30.6 meters. If you like water sports, travelling to either the South or North Coast line, for swimming, surfing, Kite surfing or jet skiing is easy. Tor View is centrally situated, and being near the River Fowey, fishing or leisure boat and canoe trips can normally be organised. Whether you enjoy gardens, woodlands, historic houses, castles, museums or heritage centres, there are too many in the area to list. There are open air and indoor theatres, golf clubs, riding stables and leisure centres.
