Bodmin is a great base if you are looking for self catering accommodation to explore Cornwall. It is set right in the middle of Cornwall so you can easily access both the north and south coasts, it is also the start of the Camel Trail so you can walk or bike all of the way up to Padstow, it would be a very long walk though! Bodmin was the main county town in Cornwall in the 17th century and has amazing history, the town jail is really worth a visit and the heritage of the town has been well preserved.
If you are looking for a holiday base, especially if you like the outdoors and want to explore Cornwall, then Bodmin is a great base. Apart from the Camel Trail, you have Bodmin Moor to explore right on your doorstep with moorland and woodland walks to enjoy. Lanhydrock is a National Trust property and is just outside of the town and one of the most popular properties to visit in the county. There are a great selection of holiday homes in Bodmin and the surrounding areas for you to enjoy, from small and cosy Cornish cottages, to large holiday homes for groups. If you cannot find what you are looking for, try researching Bodmin's caravan parks, lodges, campsite and holiday parks. Being right in the centre of Cornwall, Bodmin is really easy to access and perfect for families or couples that want a base for exploring Cornwall or just a rural retreat in the beautiful and quiet Cornish countryside with the Eden porject a short drive away.
