"What an amazing cottage."
We so enjoyed our stay. Fantastically equipped ,comfortable and warm. Clean and beautifully maintained. Great to have a bath and a shower room. Wonderful views from the lounge and bedroom. Lovely large garden and a great field for our mad sprocker to run round in. Lots of room for parking. Very peaceful but in easy walking distance of shop/post office/ cafe and pub. Very pretty village. Lots of walks can be done from the cottage and it is in a great location for exploring Bodmin Moor and beyond. The coast is easy to reach too. Would love to revisit. Thank you Denise for the provisions and gorgeous flowers on the table on arrival.

"Gorgeous property, beautifully appointed and very comfortable."
A real home from home, but in such a glorious location.
Squeezing down a narrow lane we found the Sleepy Fox with a large enclosed drive. With access to big sloping field to one side and a narrow lane with a five minute walk up to a lovely local land mark on the other. No through traffic means the small cluster of dwellings is splendidly peaceful.
Every effort looks like it has been made to create a wonderful base for forays into Cornwall. Would definitely return without a moment's hesitation.

Met the lovely owners on our arrival who couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming.
Our stay in sleepy fox was just perfect , well equipped, spotless cottage, with a lovely garden which our dog loved as much as us . The weather was on our side to which made it more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this beautiful cottage who wants a location that feels away from it all.

"A truly superb barn conversion of a very high standard situated a short drive (or ten minute walk) outside of the lovely village of Blisland down a dead end single track lane."
Blisland has both a pub (which does food) and a community shop.Bodmin is only about 10 minutes drive away where there is a large Asda and Morrisons. The cottage is open plan and very comfortable and airey and equipped with all you need to fully self cater and has a pleasant garden to relax in. All in all a delightful place to stay to explore northern Cornwall.

"A lovely modern barn conversion, everything done to a very high standard."
It was really nice to see the large solar panel that powers the house. Amazing views out the large windows. The setting is lovely and very convenient for visiting different parts of Cornwall. Unfortunately the property is not great for anyone with mobility problems. Shower room is not on the same level as bedrooms and is a fixed rainforest type without a separate hose. My partner can’t get in and out of a bath and really struggled with the shower. The smooth wooden stairs between levels are very slippy, an accident waiting to happen. I couldn’t understand the decision to put signs everywhere with house rules rather than put them all into a folder. At times this made the property feel more like a hotel than a holiday cottage, it just didn’t feel homely. I’d love to stay in the area again but would not book this property again for the above reasons.

"Great cottage, spotlessly clean, so peaceful and great facilities."
Such a convenient place, we felt like we were in the middle of the countryside but were less than 10 mins from the A30, so convenient to visit the rest of Cornwall.
Cottage had everything we needed and good WiFi. Comfy beds and it is really spacious. The views are amazing.
Our dog loved the fantastic garden and being large, the garden managed to get the sun somewhere in it most of the day.
We were worried by one reviewer who mentioned single track lane to the cottage, but this was literally the last little bit of the road to the cottage which was less than half a mile, so was no hassle at all.

"Brilliant property, well-equipped a real home from home, quirky extras and absolutely 100% spotlessly clean, which I never say as I'm a clean freak and end up cleaning as I enter most places I stay, I didn't need worry here at all its wonderful and it impressed us hugely."
The underfloor heating was a brilliant treat to come back to after walking the Moor as was the fantastic freestanding bath, what a treat!
So many things have been well thought out and designed so well here, huge compliments to the owners.
Simply stunning views in a quiet spot away from all the hustle yet central enough to be able to get to anywhere in Cornwall for a good day out.
The only additions I would add to make this perfectly 5* would be a coffee pod machine and a Wifi speaker to be able to play music.
Our only very small criticism of our stay is that the double bedroom bedding didn't smell freshly washed, which we put down to perhaps a period of the house being empty, That being said its a super minor point and we would stay again in a heartbeat at any time of year, sending the differentseasons here would be lovely.
We actually live in Cornwall only 20 miles or so away from the area but after spending all of 2020 at home we wanted somewhere to escape to locally for a few days and this place has firmly become our happy place, we felt like we could have been hundreds of miles from home and we will recommend it to people that visit us as a place to stay and explore. We will hopefully soon return to sit in the window chair and take in the view. Thank you for the stay we love the Sleepy Fox.

"Sleepy Fox was perfect."
We dreamed of putting on the log burner but didn't need to, the under floor heating warmed it up and was so cosy. Our dog loved it too.
Had everything you could need and plenty of space to relax.
The road leading to the property is 1 Lane and sometimes you come across horse boxes and other cars so be confident reversing back to a cross path.
Our dog is small so could have fitted under the gates in the garden so we couldn't let him off the lead but this wasn't a big issue as we don't tend to let him out on his own anyway. But some netting or something across the gates would have helped but not a big issue.
All in all an incredible week. Will recommend to friends and family for the perfect getaway. Close to places but far enough away to feel relaxed and away from it all.

"Just stayed at this lovely cottage and despite the very poor weather it was a joy to just stay in and relax."
Denise (the owner) popped over on arrival to check we were ok and told us if we required anything to just call her. The cottage is a converted barn to a very high standard while keeping in with its surroundings. Everything we needed was there even a welcome pack and flowers. We only stayed for 5 nights but would like to come back in the summer when hopefully the weather is a lot better. If your looking for somewhere to stay for a quiet time away then this is the place.
