“A wonderful little cottage in very peaceful surroundings.”

Everything we needed for a relaxing 2 week stay. Very clean and comfortable and the owners who live behind the cottage were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The main bedroom, leading up from the main living area is a delight, just be careful of the low ceiling height over the bed which you soon get used to. ...

Everything we needed for a relaxing 2 week stay. Very clean and comfortable and the owners who live behind the cottage were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The main bedroom, leading up from the main living area is a delight, just be careful of the low ceiling height over the bed which you soon get used to. There was plenty of parking space for our 2 vehicles. We loved having the garden too, great for our dog, and we sat out there most evenings. Chairs and table were all provided in the garden shed. Despite the fairly remote position of the cottage, Sainsbury’s happily delivered our grocery shop which was very helpful. The private drive up to the cottage is quite narrow but you quickly get used to it. We enjoyed some lovely walks nearby and the Camel trail was very close at Poley’s bridge. There were so many wonderful places we visited all within 20- 40 mins drive. We loved our stay at Bull’s Cottage and would happily return.

“Hosts very welcoming, we had no issues but they were open to being contacted should anything not meet our expectations.”

Enjoyed our stay very much.

“We had a lovely week at Bulls cottage which is in an ideal location for the Camel Track and peaceful walks along the river.”

When at cottage it was nice just chilling in the garden. One of the bedrooms opens out onto a patio so was safe and secure for small children. The cottage has everything you need to hand so all you need is some food and you can do just what you please. There is even a small shed where I could store my bike. The Hosts are really nice and live close by and were really helpful when I had to call on them. Can’t ask for more really, we hope to pay another visit soon.

“Was nice and quiet, lots of nice places to go for long walks in the surrounding area.”

There's a camel trail just down the road. We didn't d do that one but was recommended by the owner. We went Into Padstow and done a sea life boat trip, we got to see a seal. Theres a lovely little harbour down there was about 30 minute drive. We also went to tinetagel Castle, and Manack. The cottage is lovely, it has a double bedroom and a room with two single beds, was clean and had all the things you would expect I. E. Microwave, dishwasher plates etc. It was clean and smelt lovely when we walked in too. Would recommend staying here and would go again.

Mr Hammond May 2021

“What a beautiful little Cottage, a place to get away from it all, with all the facilities you need for a holiday break.”

Richard the nearby owner came and made sure we were settled in on the first day and was every bit polite and the perfect host. The access to the property was narrow yes, but a pleasure to get off the big busy roads, and in fact this gave the cottage its peace and quiet so every bit worth the small trip and your unlikely to cross another car and there are places to pass if in the unlikely event you meet another car. The Camel trail is in walking distance from the cottage and had many fantastic places where you can stop and enjoy the area and the rivers beauty. Padstow, Polzeath and Wadebridge all a short trip away from the cottage with many more places to visit. We had a lovely break.

- Mr Hammond, May 2021
Mrs Stileman October 2020

“We had a great week in Bull's Cottage.”

Off the beaten track but convenient for so many places - the Camel Trail, the coast, lovely towns and villages - the description of the property is helpful and accurate and there is more information in the cottage about places to visit. The kitchen is well-planned and had everything we needed for self-catering. The weather was not great when we were there but the cottage was so cosy and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely week.

- Mrs Stileman, October 2020
Mr Payne September 2020

“The listing describes the cottage really well.”

It's in a lovely rural location if you're looking for a feeling of seclusion. It's thoughtfully equipped and laid out and was plenty big enough for just the two of us. We didn't have our dog this trip but noticed that the rear garden is fully enclosed, which is helpful. The owners home is just behind the cottage but very unobtrusive, they offered any information or help we needed but we were fine and just saw them briefly on the first and last day. All in all, a great find.

- Mr Payne, September 2020
Mr Norah July 2020

“We stayed for 1 week at Bulls Cottage about a week after England allowed for overnight travel so we were the first guests to stay in the cottage for over 3 months.”

We chose it because it was tucked away and isolated but within driving distance of many villages and attractions in Cornwall. We had a great stay here, the host Richard was helpful and friendly. It is very close to the Camel Trail for those who plan to hike or cycle in the area. When we weren't out exploring, we were able to cook, watch movies (there is a DVD player and a drawer of DVDs), and do laundry here. The only minor issue was there was some dust and spiders in the corners, but this is likely because it hadn't been lived in for a few months. The cottage is the perfect size for a couple or a family with one or two kids, and was a great value for a week's stay. We'd definitely consider staying here again in the future.

- Mr Norah, July 2020
Mr Peake February 2020

“The Holiday was perfect and the location was as described.”

The cottage was well presented and the owners were on hand if needed,but everything was there so able to relax and enjoy the week.This is an amazing place for walking and exploring the whole of Cornwall.Can not wait to come again.

- Mr Peake, February 2020
Mr West September 2019

“The cottage was extremely comfortable, with everything exactly as we would wish for.”

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage is in a very quiet and out of the way place and was very peaceful and relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet week away from busy life.

- Mr West, September 2019
Miss Jones June 2019

“It has been a really lovely holiday away from the normal routine for me.”

I went on my own. I felt so welcome at Bulls cottage, and found the recommendations from the owners such as the camel trail and visit to Padstow and to Fowey -so helpful. I am not familiar with Cornwall nor do I have friends or family in the area so to have the owners on site was great for me. I saw them on occasion when I was going out and about. They are there if you need them otherwise you have the property to yourself. I thought the facilities and the location were outstanding. The beds and seating areas were very comfortable. I had everything I needed. Thank you.

- Miss Jones, June 2019
Mrs Newman June 2019

“This place is amazing.”

Bed was really comfortable, everything we needed was there. The dog had a great time too! The properety is ideally placed for walking or trips to the coast and there are some great local Inn's providing good/excellent food at reasonable prices. The lane to the property provides an interesting challenge initially, but we soon got used to the steep incline and blind bends. We will definatley be back.

- Mrs Newman, June 2019
Mr Connolly March 2019

“We had a lovely short break at Bulls cottage, we only wish it could have been longer.”

We hope to return.

Mr Sullivan September 2018

“We really enjoyed our stay at Bull's Cottage.”

It is well appointed and cosy. We stayed in October so could not sit out in the garden or use the bbq, which must be wonderful in summer. It is well placed and we were able to get to all tourist attractions easily. Cleanliness rating a little down due to cobwebs, but then it is Autumn! The approach to the cottage is not for the faint-hearted. We got used to it, but perhaps it needs to be made clearer, as I could imagine that others might be challenged.

- Mr Sullivan, September 2018
Mrs Summers August 2018

“Accommodation faultless, well equipped left us wanting for nothing.”

All home comforts taken care of, cosy welcoming feel to accommodation and owners were very helpful and considerate, on hand if we needed them, but left us to enjoy the peaceful holiday otherwise. Beautiful countryside retreat, isolated, which suited us to a tee.

- Mrs Summers, August 2018
Mr Hardwick August 2018

“It was our first holiday in about 15/20 years and the cottage and the owners/landlords were very accomadating if we ever decide to go on holiday again although we loved bulls cottage ,i think we like to try another place next time .”

- Mr Hardwick, August 2018
Mr Scott July 2018

“Fantastic cottage, well equipped and met all our expectations.”

The owners were on hand if you should need anything and we’re delightful. The location was great for exploring Cornwall and the quiet tucked away setting was peaceful and beautiful. The cottage has a small garden which was perfect for our little dog but also offered a secure lane for walks with picturesque views across the countryside. I could not fault this cottage or its owners and would highly recommend to anyone wishing a quiet getaway. I look forward to a return visit.

- Mr Scott, July 2018
Mrs Rowland July 2018

“The directions from the A30 are not correct, the road layout has changed and you can not turn right from the A30.”

The cottage was just as you had described, in a lovely quiet spot and had everything you could possibly need. The Sat Nav did prove useful down the narrow lanes but the Sainsbury's food delivery found us! Altogether we had a very enjoyable week. Thank you.

- Mrs Rowland, July 2018
Mrs Thomas June 2018

“Owners are very helpful if required and on hand (discreetly) if necessary.”

Cottage is beautiful and has a lovely garden. Our staffie certainly enjoyed himself! Very picturesque setting.

- Mrs Thomas, June 2018
Mrs Skinner June 2018

“We loved Bulls Cottage, just what we were looking for very secluded and quiet.”

You need to be organised with your provisions as there are no shops within walking distance, we tended to use the local Asda which was about 25 minutes away. The cottage is very homely and comfortable everything you could possibly need was provided. What a lovely man Richard was, very friendly, gave tips and advice where needed, always on hand if we needed him but not in your face or at all intrusive, infact was very helpful, with a surprise delivery from my partners daughter for Fathers Day which went above and beyond. Although the location was very rural nothing was too far away with Landsend probably being the furthest about 2hrs away. If you need a get away from it all to totally unwind this is the place. Definitely on our "we want to return list".

Mrs Krak January 2017

“We had a wonderful time, the Bulls Cottage was just perfect for us.”

The house was very well specified. The location was very good. We would certainly recommend it to our friends and will hopefully come back one day

Mr Harcus November 2016

“Just returned from a great week at Bull's Cottage.”

We took Norman the dog with us to escape the fireworks and it certainly did that. Well positioned towards the end of the Camel Trail, and a 50 minute walk to the award winning Blisland Inn pub, it gave us great walks. Also being around 30 minutes from Padstow, Wadebridge and Rock on the North coast, and around the same to Fowey on the South coast, it was very well positioned for exploring. Richard the owner was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was very warm, we had to turn the heating off in order to enjoy the lovely log burner. A great cottage in a lovely quite and secluded location. Just what we wanted!

- Mr Harcus, November 2016
Mr Thayer October 2016

“A lovely small barn conversion, in a relatively remote spot, wonderfully quiet (apart from the owls!”

), yet surprisingly quick to reach attractions. Well equipped, lovely small conservatory, all well set up for dog owners. Lots of easy walking down the Camel trail, or more strenuous walks around the coasts, and over the moor. Owners v friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. All in all, a great place to book.

- Mr Thayer, October 2016
Mrs Whitaker September 2016

Mr Mccue September 2016

- Mrs Chadwick, August 2016

About the location

BLISLAND

Bodmin 5.7 miles; Wadebridge 8.4 miles; Polzeath 13.2 miles; Tintagel 13.8 miles; Padstow 16 miles; Fowey 17.2 miles.

Situated under the western edge of granite-bound Bodmin Moor, the village of Blisland retains its age old character and is the only village in Cornwall to have a village green with trees. Around the green, cluster old houses and cottages, as well as the famous, award-winning Blisland Inn. The village is located less than three miles from the A30, and so provides an ideal central location for touring Cornwall. Nearby, Poley’s Bridge marks the beginning of the Camel Trail, a 17-mile long route, which follows a long disused old steam engine railway line to Padstow. The route is completely traffic-free and perfect for walkers and cyclists. You can even explore the trail on horseback and a purpose-built hide has been constructed between Wadebridge and Padstow, so even birdwatchers are catered for! Pull on your walking boots and explore Bodmin Moor, or venture to the coast with your buckets and spades and enjoy a day on one of the many beautiful beaches that stretch along Cornwall’s northern coastline. A fabulous part of the country for all!

Note: Max. occupancy 4 (including infants).
