    “Firstly the good.”

    Blisland is a delightful village and the cottage’s location right beside the church looking over the village green is lovely. The cottage was very clean, very well equipped and the beds comfortable. However, upon arrival and opening the door we were hit by a strong musty/damp smell.

    Blisland is a delightful village and the cottage’s location right beside the church looking over the village green is lovely. The cottage was very clean, very well equipped and the beds comfortable. However, upon arrival and opening the door we were hit by a strong musty/damp smell. Really unpleasant which remained throughout our stay despite the humidifier being constantly on and us opening the windows whilst we were in the cottage as per instructions. We do appreciate that it is an old cottage (we’ve lived in one ourselves!) but this needs attention (our clothes smelt musty from being in the wardrobe after only four days). Would also say that the armchair is very uncomfortable. Our main dissatisfaction though was that although supposedly ‘dog friendly’ it was anything but. By allowing dogs in the property it should take into account that they probably will try to get on furniture and behave as they do at home - rules and restrictions do not make for a relaxing break. In addition there being no garden is definitely not dog friendly. Perhaps the owner should extend their exceptions to no dogs as well as no young children.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed some aspects of your stay at Churchgate Cottage. As a traditional cottage, the property is equipped with a dehumidifier which operates continuously to help manage moisture levels and maintain a comfortable environment for guests. This is an important part of the property's upkeep and helps prevent dampness. We are sorry to hear that the cottage did not meet your expectations on this occasion. However, we have been welcoming guests for many years and are fortunate to receive consistently positive feedback, along with many returning visitors who enjoy the character and charm of the property. We are delighted to welcome pets, and the booking conditions advise that pets are not permitted on furniture or beds. This policy applies across all of Sykes properties and is intended to help maintain standards for all guests. We would also like to clarify that the property is not advertised as having a garden. Thank you again for your comments, which we appreciate and take on board. Property Owner

The property

In the centre of Blisland, a 17th century cottage adjoining the original village school (1842), now the little used village institute, and next to the church (acclaimed in Betjeman's poetry).

It looks over the pretty village green (benches), and is within sight of the good pub on the far side of the green and a short stroll from the shop/internet café.

Inside, cosy and comfortable.

Open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, freezer, fridge, electric cooker) with beams, slate floor (rugs), big fireplace (electric 'flame-effect' fire), Smart TV and view of the green.

Upstairs, two bedrooms - a double looking over the green, and a single looking over the church and churchyard; bathroom (walk in shower, loo and basin).

No children under 5, except pre-crawling babies.

A welcoming little cottage in a pretty village with excellent walking from the door.

Blisland: attractive village (old cottages, good pub, PO/shop/internet café, medieval church) around a green in wooded farmland below the western edge of Bodmin Moor.

Nearby, the River Camel (trout/salmon fishing and Camel Trail cycleway).

The sea at Port Isaac, 9 miles, or Polzeath (sand/surf beach) and Rock (watersports), 12.

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: This property does not accept children under 5 except babes in arms.
