The Watermill, Withiel, Bodmin
# The Watermill: A Tranquil Retreat in Cornwall's Hidden Heartland
Escape to The Watermill, a lovingly restored 17th-century stone cottage nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Withiel, just moments from Bodmin in Cornwall's unspoilt countryside. This charming holiday home offers the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort for your Cornish getaway.
## A Cottage Steeped in History
Originally serving the local farming community, The Watermill has been thoughtfully transformed into a luxurious holiday retreat while preserving its authentic Cornish charm. Original oak beams, a traditional wood-burning stove, and the gentle sound of the millstream create an atmosphere of timeless tranquility.
## Your Perfect Cornish Haven
The Watermill comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom features a sumptuous king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements ideal for families or friends sharing.
The heart of the cottage is the open-plan living area, where a fully equipped kitchen meets a cosy dining space and comfortable lounge. Here, you can prepare local Cornish produce, enjoy leisurely meals, and relax by the crackling fire after days of exploration.
Step outside to discover your private garden oasis, complete with a bubbling hot tub overlooking the millpond and surrounding countryside. The tranquil outdoor seating area provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining or simply unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Cornish landscape.
## Explore Cornwall's Hidden Gems
While offering blissful seclusion, The Watermill places you perfectly for exploring Cornwall's treasures. The historic town of Bodmin lies just 5 miles away, with its fascinating jail museum, steam railway, and the gateway to the mysterious Bodmin Moor.
Beach enthusiasts will delight in the proximity to Cornwall's spectacular coastline. Within a 30-minute drive, you can reach the golden sands of Polzeath, the foodie haven of Padstow, or the surfing paradise of Newquay.
The picturesque fishing villages of Port Isaac (home to TV's Doc Martin) and Charlestown (featured in Poldark) offer quintessential Cornish charm, while the world-renowned Eden Project is less than 10 miles from your doorstep.
Closer to home, the peaceful lanes around Withiel provide wonderful walking opportunities, with several charming country pubs serving local ales and hearty fare within easy reach.
## Year-Round Appeal
The Watermill shines in every season. Summer brings opportunities for garden barbecues and exploring Cornwall's beaches, while autumn and winter transform the cottage into a cosy retreat, with storm-watching and brisk moorland walks followed by evenings by the fire.
