A wonderful base for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts to explore the beauty of Bodmin Moor rich in historical sites and country pursuits yet also within a 30 minute drive of the lovely south coast beaches, Jupiter Lodge is one of four recently built detached lodges surrounded by peaceful countryside. 

The lodge has been furnished to a high standard with double glazing, offering comfortable and well equipped accommodation with panoramic views over rolling hills towards Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor National Park. 

Approached from the gravel parking area to the side of the property with space for 3 cars, a gently sloping path leads up to a covered porch and the front door which opens directly into a light open plan living room with a laminate wood floor.  There is a well equipped, fully fitted kitchen with an island unit, a smart dining suite and leather lounge seating next to French Windows that lead to the front paved patio with views over open countryside towards Kit Hill. 

At the rear, an inner lobby gives access to a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room with shower W.C. and hand basin, and a smaller bedroom with metal framed 3ft bunk beds. 

Carpeted stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor landing where there are a family bathroom W.C. with hand basin and two pleasantly furnished bedrooms; a twin bedded room at the rear, and the master bedroom with a 5ft double bed, panoramic views from a railed balcony of the surrounding countryside and an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin. 

To the front, there is a sheltered sun terrace and guests are welcome to use part of the adjacent 2 acre paddock with its own Cornish stone circle, ideal for older children to play.

The nearest pubs are 1.5 miles away at Rilla Mill and Upton Cross, the latter also has a post office store, and there is a good farm shop at Pensilva about a 10 minute drive.  The market town of Liskeard is 15 minutes by car and has a full range of shops, pubs and a leisure centre with swimming pool.  Siblyback Lake, 6 miles, offers angling and a water sports centre, and salmon and trout fishing are available on several local rivers (permits can be prearranged direct with the keyholder). 

There are also numerous walks, riding stables, clay pigeon shooting (professional tuition available) and a variety of golf courses including St Mellion within easy reach.  The NT house at Cotehele and the sandy beaches of Looe and Seaton are a 30 minute drive respectively.  Onsite, there is a unique astronomical observatory currently under development during 2011 – for more details see www.caradonobservatory.co.uk.
