Harry

We had guessed Harry would be a good space for a painting and writing holiday and it proved to be even better than we had imagined.

The spacious living room was a lovely, atmospheric workspace and the peaceful location suited our needs perfectly. The cottage has been thoughtfully designed and equipped and we loved having access to the large gardens. The owner and the caretakers were beyond helpful.

An outstanding place to stay.

Stunning setting above a wooded valley, great space with the long main room and its (much used) piano; situated in old buildings beside a delightful manor house. There's very considerable charm here. Classical music courses in the house and it's lovely walking the grounds and hearing strains of Chopin or Beethoven. Very friendly and relaxed ambience. Excellent cooker, super beds. Local village Blisland is gorgeous with one of the most attractive churches in the west country, also good and friendly village shop, 10 mins beautiful walk up the valley. Open moorland is 7 mins drive. Central Bodmin 20 mins. A very special place.

Yet again Harry provided us with the perfect place to stay.

All six of us, ages ranging from 30's to 80's, felt a warm glow of relaxation as soon as we came through the door. It was our sixth or seventh stay in Harry and it really does spoil you for staying anywhere else! We noted the new television and the lovely new piano too. I can't think how Harry could be bettered.

We had an excellent holiday in Harry Cottage.

It had everything we needed, there was lots of space and it was great for the children. We would definitely think of staying here again and would highly recommend it for family holidays Thank You

Love Harry, we have stayed there twice now and will again as we have family in Blisland.

Criticisms, the sofa’s ave very low and uncomfortable and the WiFi is very poor and the TV is so dated and small for such a vast room, it’s not even a smart TV! Needs addressing

Lovely place to stay.

Excellent walks from the door. Very comfortable. Helpful housekeeper. Takes a while to heat up as roomy and high ceilings.

A wonderful wonderful place.

We loved it. A special delight was being able to explore the grounds of the Manor House. We also loved the piano, which was in tune and had a nice tone.

Hi I loved the cottage overall, however the only negatives are the TV is far too small and dated, not being a smart tv you can’t stream to it or watch catch up etc, the internet is unprotected!

The sofas are too old and so low, with my bad back and my wife’s bad knee, once in, we needed our son to pull us up! Your caretakers are lovely and so helpful. I would stay here again, especially as my brother in law and sister in law moved to Blisland 2 weeks ago.

We had a lovely stay in Harry and would happily come to stay again.

The Barn was clean, comfortable and welcoming, and the grounds were beautiful and great for a morning walk with our Labrador, Fred. The pub was just a 5-minute walk away and the staff were lovely and friendly. The location was very convenient for travelling to the numerous beaches and places of interest. We would definitely recommend this Barn and the other 2 Barns on site to other people, and we are already thinking of coming back in 2025.

I love Tom, Dick and Harry cottages.

I think my family (or my extended family) have all stayed in at least one of the cottages over the years. This was our 3rd stay at Harry and as always, we loved it. It’s beautiful and spacious, offering plenty of space in the open floor plan to spread out and relax. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have access to a lovely back lawn with pretty border gardens and outdoor seating. Blisland is a picture book perfect little village with its popular pub, leafy village green, beautiful church and wonderful little grocery that has the essentials. We will continue to return to this beautiful spot.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, near to Tintagel Castle, Jamaica Inn, Bodmin Moor, Padstow, Looe, Truro, Harry’s cottage was a delight to stay in good communication, about your upcoming stay, lovely and clean lovely views, with a pub in walking distance, what is there not to like.

Would definitely recommend.

Stunning property in beautiful setting, house was well maintained, estate managers and owner were both welcoming and informative.

Perfect base to visit Cornwall and experience a slice of history. Will definitely use as Cornwall base again.

The property was excellent, and fitted our needs perfectly.

Very comfortable and we made good use of the log burner due to the cold weather. Very minor point, the crockery was a little lacking, ie no cereal bowls,also could possibly do with more wine and drinks glasses. Overall we had a great few days here.

Despite the weather we had a lovely stay in Harry.

3rd time so familiar with everything. Already booked again for next year. Missed Clare the housekeeper this time. Didnt get to meet new people but no issues so we were able to have the place totally to ourselves for the week. Didnt even need to share the laundry as we had the cottage next door!

We've stayed at Harry at least five times, and every year it gets better and better, with new features added for the comfort of visitors.

Our group was aged from 34 to 84 and we all had a very happy time in Harry. It's such a comfortable, clean and welcoming place to stay and at the end of a busy day exploring the area it was always a joy to get 'home'. Blisland lives up to its name. Leaving Harry was a wrench, but I know we'll be back.

We had a lovely stay at Harry and will happily return to stay at one of the three cottages in the future.

Perfectly situated for a very quiet, peaceful holiday. The only sounds were sheep bleating and birds singing - utter bliss! Harry was very clean and comfortable and provided just what we needed. The caretakers, Fiona and Steve, were most friendly and helpful. We fell in love with Blisland itself, a truly unspoilt English village. The pub was very welcoming and does a delicious home cooked Sunday lunch and the local shop and cafe was well stocked and provided a great coffee after a local walk. The only constructive criticism would be that there should be at least one tray in the kitchen so that food and drink can be safely carried downstairs in Harry and out to the table in the back garden. Also the extractor fans did not seem to be working in the bathrooms despite locating the power switches? Perhaps there was a reason for this? Overall it was a wonderful holiday in a lovely cottage.

Gorgeous and spacious.

...would definitely go back.

We stayed at Harry two or three times several years ago and were so pleased to be able to do so again this year.

And we were really impressed by the improvements that have been made to the sleeping quarters and bathrooms - the whole building is really first class. (Huge apologies for not removing the bed linen before we left - we were in a rush but I'm so sorry and hadn't read your reminder email!).

Most excellent stay at this fabulous cottage

Really lovely cottage.

Much enjoyed our second visit. Whilst the coast was lovely but chaotic and very busy, Harry was a lovely quiet retreat!

Loved staying in Harry again.

Clare was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. Brilliant location, gorgeous cottage, great holiday!

Lovely accommodation in a quiet peaceful location.

Friendly host , helpful and accommodating. Central location for exploring both coasts.

Loved the cottage and garden.

Location was perfect although the cornish country lanes arent for the feint hearted! Clare the caretaker was really helpful and on arrival we had a beautiful batch of scones with jam and clotted cream. Will definitely look to booking again.

Lovely relaxing weekend in beautiful Harry.

Gorgeous barn, light and spacious upstairs. Cosy and comfortable downstairs. Really lovely grounds to explore and easy walks into the village. Clare the housekeeper couldn't be more friendly and informative. Maybe take a tray with you, just for transporting drinks/plates downstairs for alfresco times!

The holiday was absolutely brilliant, and just what I needed.

The cottage, Harry, was wonderful and provided a perfect place to relax after days out exploring. Cottage had everything we could need, and I will certainly be looking at coming back.

The hosts are lovely, helpful and genuine people, the venue is beautiful and the grounds are peaceful and safe.

There were even places we could let the dog off safely to run around, it suited our needs so well. We didn't want to leave.

The cottage was lovely and the location was perfect.

The hosts were really helpful and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Gorgeous tranquil setting

It was a lovely peaceful location and the accommodation was very relaxing and had everything you needed.

The staff were very friendly and easy to approach. The swing and green space the children loved. Easy to reach beaches to the north and south so great location to explore and near by forests to walk around.

Beautiful location, lovely friendly people.

Would definitely stay again.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Stunning location. Large main bedroom and sitting room. Plenty of crockery and glasses. New oven to be installed this year as current not sufficient.
