Welcome to Steppes Farm Holiday Cottages near Tintagel in Cornwall. If you're looking for a luxurious treat then Mother Goose Cottage is where you need to be :o))) Granted a 5* Gold Award by Visit England, Mother Goose Cottage has the most beautiful views - on a clear day from the master bedroom you will be able to see the sea shimmering on the horizon.
Set in an almost secret valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor – but only 10 minutes from civilisation. Mother Goose Cottage is a fabulous light and airy barn conversion only 7m from the beach. There is the added bonus of a hot tub and sauna :o)) Ideal to unwind and let those cares drift away. Our water is from our own spring and it's delicious.
Steppes Farm has a magical caring atmosphere that you notice the moment you arrive. It is a pleasure living here and we are delighted to share our home with you guys, who I hope will enjoy it as much as we do ! We love having visitors to stay in the beautiful Cornish countryside of this fabulous part of Britain.
At night the only noises are the hoot of owls and the snuffling of nocturnal wildlife. On clear nights (no light pollution here), the skies are inky black and dotted with a million stars, the most incredible that I have seen anywhere in the world - best viewed from the hot tub – the perfect end to a perfect day x
Bodmin Moor is now a designated International Dark Sky Landscape. The very first classified Dark Sky Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Luxurious, light and airy Mother Goose Cottage is where contemporary meets traditional. A hay-barn converted to the highest standard to maximise its charm and comfort - the stunning downstairs bathroom has a fabulous chromotherapy walk-in rainfall shower - admire the wonderful Ash staircase with glass risers, a credit to the local craftsmen who created it. You will fall in love with the large lounge which has a romantic coal burning stove and wonderfully cosy armchairs.
There are two good sized vaulted bedrooms: 1 double and 1 twin. The kitchen/diner has sliding doors leading to a patio which is set in a large enclosed garden - all the equipment you would expect in a kitchen of this quality - cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
