    There is everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The location is great with the moor very close by. We had a fabulous week, lots of walking with our dog. We visited Newquay, Bude, Padstow and Fowey as well as Cardinham Woods. Highly recommended.

    Hidden down a single lane track, a quiet, comfortable stunning cottage. Great location to reach the A30 and A39 so you can travel the whole of Cornell with ease. The cottage itself was very comfortable, has everything you need for a great holiday. Looking forward to booking next year.

  • "The Smithy is in a lovely location with Bodmin Moor on the doorstep, so no need to get the car out, if you don't want too."

    The cottage was very comfortable, clean and warm with a log burner, if you want to use the fire, alternatively the central heating was more than adequate for the inclement weather we had on a couple of days, in the midst of winter. With having two active and inquisitive dogs, it was a relief to have a robust ,fenced in garden that was completely safe. There are some stunning views and sunsets from the conservatory. The amenities in the property were excellent, possibly one of the best holiday lettings we have stayed at. Blisland Village is about a mile away with a community shop and post office that sells good produce plus has a cafe. The church is a must to see and finally the Blisland Inn, does really good food and very friendly. Lastly, the owners of the Smithy live adjacent to the property and are very helpful and friendly. If you want peace, tranquility and a fab holiday stay, would highly recommend the Smithy

    We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory in the evenings looking out at the night sky. The small lane leading to the property was very very narrow and a couple of times we had to reverse all the way back to pass vehicles so be aware. Pub is about a 15 min walk down the lane but take a torch as it’s totally dark. Garden is totally enclosed so ideal for our dog. Owners were nice and friendly. Would recommend this cottage.

  • "The cottage was spacious for two people."

    Since the external fence was erected, the parking space has been reduced and even with a small car it had to be manoeuvred into position. The lanes to access the cottage and other nearby areas are very narrow, in many places only wide enough for a single car, so be prepared for this! Bathroom was clean but the rest of the cottage and garden needs more attention. The facilities available were good.

    There was everything in the cottage that we needed for our holiday. It was very clean and tidy and well kept. When we arrived on the Friday, there was milk, scones, jam and cream which was thoroughly enjoyed. It is nice to have fresh flowers in the cottage as well. The Smithy was ideal for us with bringing our golden retriever. It had a small enclosed garden and a conservatory. It was lovely having the dining table in the conservatory. We felt we were in the garden watching the butterflies on the buddhlia and swallows flying around and perching on the cables. There was a nice walk up the lane and onto the Moor by the Jubilee Stone. There were lovely views of the surrounding countryside from the Moor. We had a lovely holiday and visited The Eden Project and Wheal Coates at St. Agnes. Stunning scenery.

  • "Well located holiday accommodation for access to beautiful coast and country."

    Excellent village pub in Blisland serving really good food and good selection of beers (an easy walk from cottage). First impressions of The Bothy looked favourable but we found the quality of the furnishings, bedding etc were certainly not up to the standard of many cottages we've hired in the past. Little things like sharp kitchen knives and extra mugs would have helped! We also found it slightly unusual not to be welcomed by the owners next door at any point during our week or on our departure. Whilst most people, understandably, would like to be left to their own devices, I do feel it's important for owners to acknowledge your presence in their property at some point during the stay.

    In your listings you stated that the pub was 10 minutes walk away. I have poor mobility and my husband, who is in good health and walks miles every day, could not do it in 10 mins. The road was more like a track with no passing places on one stretch. It would be insane to walk at night as there are no street lights and no pavement to avoid any traffic. The cottage was beautiful but the holiday was ruined by the difficulty in getting to a shop or to the pub. I think you should be honest about these difficulties when advertising properties.

The property

This spacious one bedroom cottage is based in a lovely rural location joining the owner's farm, close to the village of Blisland, Cornwall.

Suited for couples wanting somewhere refreshing to return to each day, The Smithy is beautifully designed, immaculately presented with both a summery feel for those warmer months, and a cosy feel come winter. The open-plan living area is the perfect setting to begin your holiday, a lovely place to settle down at the breakfast bar with a cup of tea, or snuggle up before the central woodburning stove.

The modern kitchen is effortlessly styled in fresh white units, with ceiling spotlights situated above, bringing a warm glow to the layout, and you can prepare your favourite meals amidst it all.

What better way to take in the wonderful location than enjoying dinner in the serene conservatory, with a view over the patio area, and in the distance, an outlook across the stunning Moor.

Continuing through The Smithy, there is a family bathroom with a large rainfall effect overhead shower, wrapped in smoky grey walls, whilst the double bedroom is glamorously put together, complimented by wooden furnishings, and a skylight window which welcomes the outside in.

Dog-friendly and ideal for walkers, you can spend much of your time strolling the one-of-a-kind destination, or for something different, why not enjoy a taste of the village charm at Blisland Inn, one of the most popular pubs in 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.

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 beaches that stretch along Cornwall’s northern coastline.

A relaxing escape for two.

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!
