| Just
outside Camelford, on the fringe of the wild moors is a long,
country lane, once used by smugglers travelling from Trebarwith
Strand to Jamaica Inn. Follow that peaceful lane through the
trees and past the fields and just as the whole world seems
to have been left behind, you will find Aldermoor Farm, nestling
in a hollow, offering you privacy, amity and a truly relaxing
break. |

|
Aldermoor Farm has garnered more than 300 years worth of
secrets since it was built by moorland dwellers from local
stones. Soaked in the colourful history of this area, it offers
a perfect holiday experience: a combination of unrivalled
tranquillity and unending diversion.
Aldermoor is a small grassland farm on the edge of Bodmin
Moor and we have lived and farmed here for the past 30 years.
The earliest known record of Aldermoor was found on a map
dated 1742 in Lanhydrock, although it probably existed many
years before that date.
The cottages were originally moorland homes, converted many
years ago into holiday accommodation. Over the years we have
done our bit to enhance the comfort and cosiness of the accommodation
they now provide.
We feel we can offer our guests something truly special
a relaxing holiday with comfortable, homely accommodation
surrounded by the best that nature has to offer in a beautiful
part of the country.
Prices from £220 - £610

ceiling and a magnificent corner fireplace that houses a wood-burning
stove. There is a lounge area, dining area and fully equipped
galley-style kitchen.

Primrose Cottage (Sleeps 4)
Thick stone walls, deep window recesses,
leaded windows and beamed ceilings, Primrose is another lovely
example of a traditional Cornish cottage. Thoughtfully updated
to make the most of the space, Primrose Cottage is very different
in style from its neighbour.
A small entrance hall leads into a kitchen
diner, which cleverly incorporates the under-stairs area and
has its sink built into a delightful window recess that overlooks
the garden.
The separate sitting room has a large
granite fireplace that houses a real-effect electric woodstove
and upstairs is a charming double room with a four poster
and a bedroom with bunk beds and space for an optional additional
small single. The family sized bathroom is on the ground floor.

Sarah's Cottage (Sleeps 4)
This traditional old cottage has a truly romantic feel
with thick granite walls, exposed beams, low upstairs ceilings
and a wood-burning stove in the large, original Cornish fireplace
that once housed a range.
A bow window looks out across a lawn from the living room,
which has open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen in an
L-shape. The bathroom with separate toilet, is also on the
ground floor, while upstairs is the double bedroom with a
beautifully trimmed four poster bed and an L-shaped twin room
both with sloping wood ceilings and lovely views across
the garden.

Aldermoor Farm is very central for exploring all of Cornwall
and North Devon but you don t have to go very far to find
some wonderful ways to spend your time. We are close to the
haunting moors, yet only minutes away from the lovely surfing
beaches of the rugged Atlantic coast. The old market town
of Camelford is 11/2 miles away; King Arthur s Tintagel and
the picturesque harbours of Port Isaac and Boscastle are within
easy reach and the golden sands of Trebarwith Strand are less
than 7 miles.
There is an 18-hole golf course just a mile away and Crowdy
Reservoir if you enjoy fishing. Seafishing trips, riding and
moorland pony trekking, national cycle trails, National Trust
houses and gardens are all available in the immediate area.
However you choose to spend your time, Aldermoor will be waiting
to relax you when you return.
