Description
¼ mile from the centre of Blisland is a beautiful place described by Country Life as 'near perfect'. A lovely listed 17th cent. manor house (the owners' home, used in the making of films) and, in its grounds, a long barn converted into three cottages called Tom, Dick and Harry. One-hundred yard drive leads from a lane to the cottages (which are completely hidden from it). The cottages share lawns (tables/chairs, barbecue for each cottage) on three sides - one walled, one large with granite-pillared swing and trees. Beyond them, park-like field with massive plane tree slopes to stream (tiddlers) with island. In all, 30 acres (sheep, cattle) for exploring: woods with unusual trees, remains of a Victorian water garden, grotto and Celtic crosses (medieval pilgrims en route to Falmouth, ship and Santiago de Compostela stopped here). Masses of space. Newly restored barn available for parties and weddings, a spectacular space with well-equipped kitchen (caterers can be recommended) - please ask us for details. Coach house with washing machines, tumble driers, freezer. Spring water. Arrival after 4pm. One well-behaved dog welcome, for a second dog please inquire. No pets between 20 July and 31 August. Each cottage has its own distinct character. All relaxed, charming and well situated for exploring north and south Cornish coasts. The two smaller cottages are split-level Dick (in the middle) is slightly smaller. Open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge, electric cooker) with TV/DVD. Upstairs (stairgates), two bedrooms - a double, and a twin; bathroom (suite, shower over bath); door to larger lawn.

What guests are saying
Lovely peaceful place, beautiful setting.
Excellent location for both coasts. Has everything you need for a lovely Cornish holiday
Unfortunately, the property was not well suited to our needs due to our mobility issues.
We found the stairs difficult to manage, as there was only one handrail. There were also high steps throughout the property and no handrail by the bath. The mattresses would benefit from replacing. We also found the grounds difficult to navigate due to the steep terrain, which limited our ability to go for longer walks. We feel that the property's accessibility features and terrain could be described more clearly in the listing so that guests can make an informed decision before booking.
Wonderful spot in a historic estate.
Surrounded by fields and a magnificent Victorian water garden. The cottage was well equipped and extremely comfortable. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all. Communication was superb. Questions were promptly answered. We were also provided with detailed information about the area.
