About this property
Picturesque cottage in the grounds of an ancient Cornish manor house, set in a peaceful valley with spectacular mature trees, just outside Blisland village with its famous real-ale pub and Grade-1 listed church. Dick is the middle cottage of the three converted from barns at Lavethan and has bags of charm. The open plan living space is light and airy, a good place to relax and cook family meals to enjoy in the dining area. Head upstairs to bed in the two bedrooms which share a family bathroom and from this level you can head out to one of the lawns. With the lovely coastline close at hand, Dick is an excellent place to stay. Note: This property can be booked with Tom and Harry, together they sleep 15.
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.

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 )

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