Three Cornish holiday cottages near Bodmin have been named after animals owned by the farming family on whose land they sit.

The cottages called Moondance, Dreamcatcher and Stargazy are located on the beautiful 35 acre organic Whitewalls Farm.

Moondance, the original farmhouse dating back to the 19th century is named after a half-bred Appaloosa horse directly descended from the stallion ridden by the real life Butch Cassidy during his bank robbing days with the Sundance Kid.
Dreamcatcher is named after the mother of Moondance, a grey highland pony with a flowing mane.
Stargazy refers to a little miniature Shetland pony who was named after the traditiional Cornish Stargazy Pie. The family chose this name because they felt she had "star quality and looked a bit like a pasty".
