ABOUT
Hantergantick Barn is found in the heart of Bodmin Moor, near the outskirts of the village of St Breward. A unique property which has been converted from a former farm steading, it is set within mature gardens and has a wonderful south facing view over the secluded valley of the de Lank river which it looks down on.
We are a 25 minute drive from Bodmin Parkway train station which is on the mainline from London Paddington. Bodmin also offers a selection of local taxi services. The Barn is a 15 minute drive from the A30, giving great access to a range of activities and sites that can be experienced around Cornwall.
Whilst enjoying open access to the moor, and offering miles of fabulous off-road walking, Hantergantick Barn is only a 30 minute walk from the village of St Breward, with its well stocked village shop, and local pub, The Old Inn.
