This very spacious, detached property, converted from a 200-year-old barn, with grain silos 8 yards (toddlers beware!) occupies a peaceful setting on the owners’ 850-acre working arable farm and pheasant shooting estate. Very attractively furnished and well equipped, it boasts eight en-suite bedrooms (all with TVs), two sitting-rooms, a games room with open fire and pool table, and its own garden with children’s play area – making it the ideal choice for three or four families wishing to holiday together. Clay pigeon shooting is available by arrangement, with fishing on site (permit required). The farm is centrally located in the beautiful Camel Valley – a haven for nature lovers and fishermen, cyclists and riding enthusiasts, close to the wild expanse of Bodmin Moor.
An ideal base from which to tour, The Shooting Lodge is convenient for the North and South Heritage Coasts of Cornwall, where to the north, the picturesque fishing villages of Port Isaac and Boscastle, and the old port of Padstow are within easy reach. To the south is the harbour town of Fowey, and the charming villages of Looe and Polperro, each with narrow, winding streets full of fisherman’s cottages and intriguing tales concerning their smuggling past. Partly isolated from the rest of the country, until the railway crossed the River Tamar in the 1860s, this region has retained a wealth of antiquities. For historic days out, St Breock Downs Monolith and the Nine Maidens, Pencarrow House and Restormel Castle, and the National Trust owned Lanhydrock with its 450-acre grounds, are nearby. Whilst a little further afield, scholars of myths and legends will find enigmatic Tintagel Castle – said to be the birthplace of King Arthur, a mystical delight. Ancient Wadebridge, 4 miles, offers a sports centre, swimming-pool and tennis. Shop 1½ miles, pub 3 miles.

Great holiday house to stay with the family. Plenty of room to enjoy being with family or quiet time. All rooms with en suite which is great. We did miss no TV in the main living room but one in the games room. The house has great character and history. Definitely recommend. Great family stay had.

Our whole family stayed at Shooters Lodge—10 adults and 3 children—and we all left our holiday in Cornwall unanimously delighted with the accommodation.Inside, it was exactly how I imagined a traditional shooters lodge would look. It's incredibly spacious, particularly the living and dining area. There was a small play area for the children, along with a table tennis table, pool table, and dartboard, which kept them entertained throughout the day. Then, after dinner, the pool table room became the adults' favourite place to relax and unwind.There was also plenty of places to walk around the grounds for an evening stroll to see some of the local wildlife, a nearby stream, or just to get your 10k steps in.The owners, Roddy and Alexys, were both friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help whenever we needed anything. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would happily recommend Shooters Lodge to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped place to stay with family or friends.We'll be back next year.
