Tramanda

Tramanda is a four-bedroom detached cottage for eight in the hamlet of Waterloo, half a mile from Blisland village on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Its long history - built for soldiers returning from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and held by one Cornish family since 1919 - distinguishes it from the newer builds along the moor edge.

Sleeping is across four bedrooms with a versatile configuration: two 6ft zip-and-link beds convert to kings or twins, plus a standard double and a bunk-bed room. The cottage covers two bathrooms with two living areas. A recent refurbishment has kept the centuries-old fabric while adding double glazing, central heating and a wood burner for cooler evenings. Equipment includes wifi, a dishwasher, a washing machine, and accessibility features.

Outside, the property has a garden, an outdoor shower and private parking. The surroundings give direct access to footpaths and bridleways on Bodmin Moor. Blisland village itself is half a mile away, with a parish church, a village shop with post office, and a dog-friendly pub on the village green.

Bodmin town is 15 minutes' drive for supermarkets, a sports centre, cycle hire, and the mainline railway. Lanhydrock House and Cardinham Woods are both 20 minutes away, the Eden Project under 30 minutes, and Wadebridge 10 miles for the Camel Trail cycle route. Prices start from GBP 687 per week, rising to GBP 1,855 in peak season, with Saturday changeovers.
