“We had a wonderful week in Blue Cottage.”

It's homely and comfortable, with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Yes, it is a little dated, but that just adds to its charm and character. Like any old cottage it is a little chilly in winter but that just makes cosy nights in front of the open fire all the more enjoyable. We've stayed in many cottages that have been modernised to the point where all their original character has been removed. Blue cottage has the feel of a family home, full of stories and memories.

The location is perfect, too. We will definitely return.

Parking a very big problem with man who live by the Cottage and the reading room property have now been sold and we overheard the new owner who told us we could not park there he was letting it as a holiday let when it was refurbished We found the shower lacking

Owner Response** We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. The road outside the property is public and therefore is available for all, there are no reserved spaces. The shower is electric and although this provides an adequate amount of hot water the pressure is always limited. Owner relations

“Blue cottage is delightful, tucked away with a little courtyard garden - offering peace and quiet.”

The bay is a short walk away past the church and the book phone box ( lovely idea) - a beautiful bay with cafe and watersports. Feock is a good base from which to explore Cornwall - from Truro, Falmouth over the ferry to St Mawes to further afield, Newquay, St Ives and if you don't mind heights Tintagel and Bedruthin. The cottage was quaint and quirky, clean and comfortable - and had everything we needed including a full cream tea when we arrived!

“We had a lovely holiday and the cottage was great.”

Great location and really comfortable quaint cottage. Had everything we could need for a stay away from home.
Mr Exell July 2019

“Such a beautiful cottage.”

my daughter is disabled and had no problems getting up to the cottage or inside. we would definitely love to come back again.

“Lovely ole cottage in great location.”
Mrs Sheffield April 2019

“We found this cottage perect in every respect.”

It was very clean well equiped and cosey. Location was good as it made a good base to explore from.
Dr Gaudl April 2019

“This is a great little cottage extremely well located while in a super quiet area.”

If visitors are travelling with more than one car it can be difficult to find a nice parking space for both cars but that is the only downside.

“sweet cosy vintage cottage”

We had a lovely holiday in feock, really sweet little cottage, cosy warm and well equiped. The cottage has a vintage feel about it, which we really liked. Feock is a lovely place to stay, with the beach just 10 mins away, we enjoyed kayaking in the carrick roads, and had great dog walks in trellisick gardens. The cottage is great value for money and I am glad I ignored the negative comments.

“Although travelling alone with my dog, I chose a larger cottage with a bathroom as it is important for me to bath at night with a special emollient as I have a skin condition.”

The bathroom was ok but there was not enough hot water to give more than 2 1/2 inches. Completely unacceptable, especially after a long day walking. I guess the temperature of the immersion is turned down as I was alone at the cottage and hardly used any hot water. I was using kettles to top it up. The weather was good whilst I was there but cold in the evenings and there was no central heating on the ground floor and storage heaters not working in the double bedroom upstairs. There were 2 convector heaters that I moved about with me but the ground floor was cold, especially the kitchen. In the listing it shows and mentions an Aga - is that turned on in the winter months? There were not instructions at all about heating or hot water. Such a shame as I really loved the cottage. It was very clean, well equipped and in a beautiful, quiet and convenient situation. I would like to return but only if I knew that there would be adequate hot water and heating. I knew there would be no wifi but it was difficult when I had to ask for assistance when the immersion was not working at all. Sykes had obviously sent me messages although there was no connection and I got them when I got home.

** Owner response - we would welcome you back to Blue Cottage. We identified time sync issues with the immersion and have resolved this so there should be plenty of hot water. We provide additional plug in electric heaters and we are now providing a freezer, dishwasher, WiFi and have decorated the cottage and added new bedroom furniture, we hope you like it!

“The cottage didn't have WiFi or a Dishwasher.”

My fault for not picking up on this, but thought it was standard these days. However, I accept that this was probably reflected in the price as it was very good value. The cottage was comfortable though. Disappointed to only be provided with one tea towel when linen is provided, especially as there's no dishwasher. When I called to ask for more I was passed from one agent to another who returned my call and said only one tea towel is provided with self catering (never experienced this before). We went out and bought 3 extra tea towels, I hope they are washed and left for future guests! It's the little inexpensive things that make a difference. Our welcome pack included tea, coffee, milk and the makings of a cream tea - nice touch. Thank you.

** Owner response - We are pleased you considered Blue Cottage good value. We would love to welcome you back to Blue Cottage again soon, we have installed a dishwasher and WiFi and you will see lots of other updates we have implemented over the quieter period Owner relations

“We appreciated the homely straightforward and unpretentious qualities of this old cottage.”

It was well equipped and located for exploring the local area: from the nearby beach, cafe and watersports to beyond travelling on the ferry to the Roseland headland.
Mr Rice July 2018

“The property is tired.”

while the facilities are good a cottage that can sleep 6 should have a dishwasher. The hot tap in the bathroom basin is dripping continuously as it needs a new washer. The garden is overgrown, the back part of it needs to be completely cleared so that it can be used, and there are trailing brambles that would be an issue for young children. Overall a good cottage but with a little effort could be excellent. Andrew

**Owner Response - we have addressed all the points raised, new hand basin taps, new furniture, curtains, carpets, decoration, new fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher, bedroom furniture, mattresses and WiFi. The cottage garden has been trimmed back but we like to maintain the traditional nature so it will always keep it's country charm. Owner relations

“Lovely cottage in a gorgeous place.”

Very clean, provided everything that was needed. Maybe a new 3 piece suite would be good. Didn't want to leave !

The property

Sitting pretty in fabulous Feock, Blue Cottage is just moments from the beach and serene waters of the Fal River Estuary.

Experience a Swallows and Amazons style break at this homely cottage which is just a few minutes' walk from Loe Beach.

Overlooking the tree lined waters of the Carrick Roads, this pebbly and sandy stretch has a great little cafe offering breakfasts, yummy lunches and ice creams during the summer months.

It is also home to a fantastic watersports centre so bring your wetsuit and learn to sail, windsurf or paddleboard.

If you prefer something more sedate you can hire a kayak, rowing boat or even a power boat and head out to explore the incredible waterways in your own time, stopping off at one of the stunning waterside inns for refreshment along the way! The Carrick Roads also have a superb network of ferries linking Truro, Falmouth, St Mawes and some smaller villages so leave the car behind and travel by boat.

One ferry departs from the nearby National Trust owned Trelissick Gardens so it is a great excuse to explore them too.

A trip to Falmouth is highly recommended; with sandy beaches, some fabulous restaurants, boutique shops and the Maritime Museum, a day may not be enough.

Tucked away in this pretty village, Blue Cottage offers simple homely accommodation.

The snug sitting room has an open fire and there is a Rayburn (seasonal use) in the dining room keeping the cottage cosy at any time of year.

Upstairs the three bedrooms comprise one with king size bed and two twin (one with 2'6'' beds).

The mature garden at the front of the cottage is perfect for breakfast alfresco or simply relaxing with a good book.
