Dick Cottage

• "The two sofas and armchair are in need of restuffing."

  The seat cushions are very flat so making the seating very low and very uncomfortable. We’ve stayed in rack of these cottages before over 25 years and it’s probably time for a refresh of the seating.

• "Great cottage in a lovely setting."

  Ideal for a quiet retreat, no traffic noise and really fresh air to breathe. Bit of a trip to nearest supermarket down narrow Cornish roads, but soon got used to that. Loads of places to visit in the area The dog enjoyed it too. (Would have liked a bath mat in the shower )

• "We had a lovely stay at Dick Cottage."

  It is pretty and unique. It has all the facilities required to make a good self catering holiday. Kitchen well equipped. We were 2 friends and a Border Collie who loved her 1st holiday. It was lovely and safe for her, no traffic to worry about. Location was good, easy to find and well placed for any days out. We would come back. And would recommend.

• "Great holiday in a lovely cottage."

  Ideally placed for North and south coast as well as the moors. It was a real bonus to have an ev charger because it freed us up to enjoy each day without having to think about where to charge our all electric car.

• "Absolutely beautiful location, idyllic."

  We have already booked again for next year! The house is gorgeous, the grounds are just beautiful and you’re in the perfect spot to travel to either the south or north shore and to visit all the bigger local attractions. Can’t recommend it enough!

  Glad you enjoyed your visit. We have made significant improvements to the cottage over the last few years. I hope you discovered the unusual Victorian water garden which we are in the process of restoring. There is a grotto, a secret tunnel, an ancient holy well and a wildlife pond. Property Owner

• "The cottage was perfect for our needs."

  Cosy, warm and close to the pub! It had all the things you need from a holiday home. The location is lovely and quiet but close enough to lots of things to do. We'd definitely recommend Dick Cottage to our family and friends.

  Really nice, clean and my eldest (5) loved the swing and slide outside. The team were fantastic in putting in a stairgate at very short notice for us. All in all a great place to stay

• "We had a lovely time staying in Blisland."

  We had booked to stay in Dick Cottage but were offered the bigger cottage Tom and accepted. The cottage was very comfortable and the setting very quiet and peaceful. There was a swing outside that the kids loved playing on. We even got greeted by sheep in the garden one morning.

  Dick Cottage is perfect and the estate spectacular. We have not only appreciated the bucolic setting and pastoral landscape, but we were also serenaded by the owner's ethereal music. A week to remember…

• "We found the owners and staff helpful and hospitable."

  The position of the cottage was pleasant and peaceful. Kitchen well stocked. Smart tv excellent which pleased us immensely as we could watch our programmes from our hard drive. I enjoyed the variety of birds that could be seen and heard around the estate. Only one thing very minor no facility for depositing the dog poo and felt uncomfortable putting it in the ordinary refuse bin. Otherwise we loved our holiday there and might return in the near future.

• "We were booked to stay in Dick, but unfortunately the boiler packed up and we were asked if we wanted to stay in Tom and at no extra charge and having a log burner we enjoyed a wonderful relaxing pleasant week."

  The cottage had everything we needed and was exceptionally clean. Lovely village, lovely people and caretakers. We didn't have any issues, but if we had we feel like they would have been dealt with well. Would definitely love to return, thanks for a lovely stay.

• "Lovely cottages."

  Stayed in all three over the last decade or so. My only suggestion for improvement this time concerns the sofa and armchairs. Their seat cushions are getting very flat which means we were sitting very low. I suggest the seat cushions are re stuffed so the two sofas and arm chair are comfier to sit in.

• "Dick cottage was a wonderful place to stay with everything a family could need and with very accommodating hosts."

  The delights of Cornwall are easily accessible and Bodmin provided us with a lot of interesting things to do. I would highly recommend the cottage (and my wife has all ready done so, to Her family). For the owners, I have only 2 minor areas which could be improved upon. 1. Applying some sort of frosting or a one way mirrored film to the window in the bathroom would allow daylight in and maintain privacy. and 2. The dining room table was difficult to sit at if you are tall, I was unable to sit at the table and fit my legs under as well. I realise few people are more than 6’4’’ but a different kitchen/dining room table would make for more comfortable meal times.

  Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been passed onto the owner. There is a blind in the bathroom when needed for privacy. Property Owner

• "The artwork in the cottage is very eclectic and dated and could do with being refreshed, I appreciated its down to personal taste but maybe some pictures of Cornish landmarks or landscapes?"

  The bathroom could do with an extractor fan fitted to reduce condensation when using the shower. I’m not meaning to be critical here just making suggestions, on the whole we were very pleased with the cottage and had a very pleasant stay. We like to think we will return in the future and have no hesitation recommending to others.

  Thank you for your feedback. Since your stay, a whole lot of new pictures have been put in. Thanks for your suggestion. Property Owner

• "Lovely comfortable cottage in a beautifully quiet location."

  Property was very well equipped with everything needed for our time there. Local pub, The Blisland Inn, within easy walking distance and served huge portions of very good food. The locals were also very welcoming and friendly. Would certainly recommend this area, as made a good base for the days out we did.

• "We had a great week and enjoyed the tranquil setting of the cottage."

  Having the shop and pub a short walk away was very useful. The local walking was good and having easy access to the Camel trail for walking was handy too. We did feel that the kitchen worktops and sofas were a little tired but all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and may well return one day...a cosy cottage and a good value holiday !

• "We have been going to all three cottages for some time."

  I would say given the high costs of fuel these cottages are now over priced based on their location. On this occasion there were students booked into the neighbouring cottage we were not made aware of this and the sound of violins, piano amongst other instruments was constant. Whilst we did not mind the music it could be problematic for a lot of people who are just after the peace and quiet. All paying customers need to be made aware if music students are staying so they can make the decision if this for them or not.

  Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you were disturbed by the music. Very occasionally we do invite music students to Lavethan, as part of our plan is to support and encourage young musicians, especially those from the South West. We try to make sure that any disturbance to other guests is kept to a minimum and we apologise if on this occasion we fell short. We will be more careful in future! Property Owner

  I live in the country myself - but here there was no noise except for the babbling brook at the bottom of the field. Remote? Hardly - a pub 300 yards away and Village Shop 400 yards. Everything in the lovely cottage worked and was stylish to boot! What more can i say? Were coming back!

  The cottage was beautifully equipped and very comfortable. Clare, the Housekeeper, could not have been more helpful. Blisland is a lovely village and the community shop was a real boon. We visited Pencarrow House, St Nectan Glen, Boscastle, walked part of the Camel Trail and the church in Blisland is a gem.

  Not the best experience think it is overpriced for where it is. The less impressive of the three cottages.

  Thank you for taking the time to complete the feedback request, following your recent stay at Dick Cottage. We have spoken with the owner who has apologised that your stay was affected by a mouse, there have been no previous sightings but unfortunately is one of the hazards of visiting the countryide! The affected area has been thoroughly cleared and there has been no further visits from said mouse. Dick Cottage is indeed smaller than the other 2 properties, many guests have found it cozy and welcoming. We hope to welcome you back to Blisland once again in the future. Property Owner

• "Lovely Cottage within a lovely village."

  Pub and village shop, people make you very welcome food at amenities were very good! Our only criticism is its not quite Dog friendly would have liked garden secure at one end to enable us to let our dog have freedom had to always be on the lead ! Otherwise a very nice stay clean cottage was made very welcome and close to all attractions.

  Many thanks for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Dick Cottage. Around the property there is immediate access to beautiful dog friendly walks. We feel it would detract from the character of the beautiful gardens to fence them in completely. Understandably some care has to be taken when there are sheep and lambs in the adjacent fields.
