    “Shame we had a dehumidifier running 24/7.”

    ..skin dried & a dry mouth daily. Not sure it was doing its job as cupboards smelt fausty! Shower hard to get to an even temperature..scalding hot or stone cold do no shower for us, strip wash daily! Water pressure at bathroom basin hot tap, very low. Appreciate it's a 200+yr old cottage but gloomy so needed lights on all day. Village lovely & had a nice meal at the pub. The village store was a little treasure trove...gifts & items you may have run out of ! Not somewhere we'd recommend , ...

    I have followed you into the cottage. The bathroom was refurbished in December last year and the shower was installed new. It is obviously faulty as I have found out myself now I'm here and my plumber is coming tomorrow to fit a new one so I do apologise. With regard to your remark about the cottage being gloomy it is a 400 year old cottage and large modern windows were not the theme of the day. The dehumidifier has to run 24/7 as there is obviously no damp proofing in the cottage and without it the cottage would be wet, damp and mouldy. So sorry you didn't have a good time but in 12 years of letting the cottage I usually get glowing reports from holidaymakers that stay here and have lots of repeat bookings. 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.

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!
