Ta Mill Cottage (cottage)

Home description

Ta Mill is a secluded rural hideaway nestling in a peaceful hollow of 45 acres on the fringes of Bodmin Moor. Surrounded by rolling countryside, it is an idyllic place in which to relax and unwind. This tranquil setting offers an escape from the pressures of everyday life in a quiet ambiance where nature thrives. Magnificent birds of prey can be seen swooping down the valley and nesting swallows are spotted in every corner. Ewes and lambs gambol in the surrounding fields and you can get close to new born lambs in Spring. A babbling brook meanders through the grounds, past the traditional orchard and pretty copse before following the valley downstream. Delight at the discovery of 2 wildlife ponds as you wander along the nature trail aside the brook.

Ta Mill cottages are traditional stone and slate cottages, with original features and thoroughly individual.

Further details outdoors:
Ta Mill accommodation is set in a peaceful hollow of 45 acres. A babbling brook meanders through the grounds, past the wildlife pond and continues along the picturesque nature trail, which is a DEFRA assigned access, recognised for its archaeological interest and unique setting. This nature trail leads you through a beautiful valley of dramatic stone outcrops and blossoming gorse. In the Spring, the bright yellow gorse and white blossom of the blackthorn contrast with the stunning grey slate rocks. Later in early Summer the hillside is adorned with purple foxgloves. Indulge your imagination as you absorb the natural beauty and unique tranquility whilst you wander along this unspoilt haven for nature where you can glimpse magnificent birds of prey, flocks of lapwing and much more. After nearly half a mile of wending stream you will be delighted at the discovery of another wildlife pond, playing host to a wealth of pondlife, including dragonflies, striking turquoise damselflies and swallows as they dip and dive across the shimmering water.

Other facilities include a pitch 'n' putt course set in an acre of meadowland and games room with gym equipment.
