Welcome
RELAX, UNWIND AND ENJOY
Welcome to North Beer Farm, a beautiful holiday cottage converted from an old farm in the heart of Cornwall, just a stone’s throw from Bodmin Moor. We love the peace and tranquillity here combined with our central location that means we’re never too far away from the area’s attractions. To give you a taste of that tranquillity we have recorded the birdsong that we hear every morning as we open our doors!
Our Location
North Beer Farm enjoys a rural location in North Beer hamlet about a mile from the small village of Boyton. Launceston, the nearest town, is around 7 miles away. Despite its isolated position, North Beer Cottage has easy access to the A30 (5 miles) and the beautiful North Cornish and North Devon coast, Bodmin and Dartmoor.
There is a wealth of things to do in Cornwall from wonderful beaches to amazing stately homes.
Whatever you enjoy doing on holiday you’ll find something for everyone here in Cornwall. Then when you’re done – enjoy some of our famous local specialities in some of the finest eateries you’ll find anywhere.
Our Accommodation
Our aim is to provide outstanding accommodation so that you can refresh, recharge and de-stress. That means that our attention to detail has to be first class be that cleanliness, décor, comfort, style, equipment or welcome hamper. We have tried to think of everything you need and we’re always open to suggestions. The cottage has had some amazing reviews (thank you to our guests) and we shall be striving to achieve the same high level of guest satisfaction with the lodge (currently under construction).

About Us
We – Mary and Chris – have both fallen in love with North Cornwall, after years of living in London and Brighton. Mary always wanted to live in the country, with land, animals, fresh air and dark skies. Chris, more of a townie, wasn’t so sure – but now he is a convert.
The sea is 25 minutes away. Dartmoor is 30 minutes away. Bodmin Moor is on the doorstep, and the more cosmopolitan charms of Padstow and St Ives less than an hour away.
We have fibre broadband, quicker than in many parts of London. We have wood burners in our house and in the cottage. The cottage has a genuine wooden hot-tub, made by a local carpenter.
We have food producers locally creating some of the best possible ingredients, and a range of local brewers and distillers. Award winning restaurants are nearby.
We wake to the sound of the dawn chorus, buzzards and other raptors circle the skies throughout the day, and we go to sleep to the sound of owls.
Why, we keep asking ourselves, did we leave it so long to move to Cornwall?
What Our Guests Say
We LOVE our cottage and have endeavoured to create a luxurious yet comfortable home from home from where you can really enjoy your down time. I guess though, we’re a bit biased! So don’t just take our word for it – below is a section of reviews from our past guests.
Our Recommendations
So that you get the most out of your stay, we’ve put together a compilation of recommendations. You’ll find some of the better-known attractions as well as some of the special local places that don’t show up the guidebooks. We’ll send you the digital version as soon as your booking is confirmed.
Beaches
The Strangles beach is one of our favourites – a real secret place. It’s located on a stretch of the North Cornish coast known for its high cliffs. In fact, nearby High Cliff is the highest cliff in Cornwall at over 700 feet (200 metres). This gives some idea of the setting of this long sand and shingle beach. The cliffs aren’t so steep here but the walk down from the coast path is quite demanding but beautiful, quiet, and wild.
Walks
A walk to Bodmin’s Cheesewring is another of ours and our dogs’ favourite places. The name derives from the resemblance of the piled slabs to a “cheesewring”, a press-like device that was once used to make cheese The walk passes by the Hurlers, a group of three stone circles dating from the Bronze Age. The legend goes that a group of men were turned to stone for playing the Cornish game of hurling on a Sunday. On a warm day you can also go swimming in Gold Diggings quarry.
Restaurants
We love the Bay View Inn restaurant at Widemouth, only 20 minutes’ away. It has arguably one of the finest sea views anywhere in the world as well as great food using the finest local ingredients. It’s a great place to go to for local fresh fish or just pop in for beer after a walk on the beach.
Local Events
Don’t miss our very own show here in Launceston coming up on 27th July 2023. It has everything from local produce to ferret racing! A great day out. There are lots of amazing events here in Cornwall throughout the seasons, the Eden Sessions (at the Eden Project), the Port Isaac Shanty Festival, Rock Oyster Festival, Christmas and local produce markets, and even our own Launceston Arts and Literary festival courtesy of the Charles Causley Trust.
