Lovely house in a lovely location, 5 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs comfortably accommodated. This house is perfect if you want to stay somewhere out of the way of the main “touristy” areas, very well equipped and characterful. The rooms are comfortable and cosy, it could do with a better shower in the en-suite as it isn’t great and would benefit from a good dusting in the corners but overall it’s clean and tidy. Good parking for two cars and a fairly secure garden for dogs. Lots of information provided for local eateries and attractions on arrival. We had a late night incident with a poorly 5 year old on the last night and they could not have been more understanding. Ironing board and iron provided along with washing machine and tumble dryer which was a god send (see above) Definitely will return

The only downside was it could have been cleaner as there was dust in places and cobwebs around.. the shower in the en-suite was not very good as it was slow, apart from those 2 things it is a very enjoyable cottage set in an amazing part of the countryside

The house is all on one level & was amazing & plenty of room for 7 with 4 very good size bedrooms. This is a large property with plenty of space to all be together or have some time away to yourself if desired. Both of the showers were great, especially the main bathroom with the overhead large shower head. The main bathroom has a large bath with central taps too. The conservatory is much bigger than in pics & looks out on to views. The kitchen & main bedroom has the same views at the front of the property. The owners Sheila & Kim were lovely & there was milk & cookies awaiting us on arrival. My mother uses a wheelchair & so the front of the property access is not possible (but I wasn't aware of that from the Sykes site until I read the reviews), However, on reading the reviews I phoned the owner & she was extremely helpful & said there was access around the back of the property over the grass & we did not find this a problem at all, there is just a very slight bank & you can park car at the back access as well. (at the front there is also an old way in which is just 4 steps in between fir trees but this is not currently used but could be possibly in the future if the owners wanted to open up property for the disabled & put a lift in there). There is another review on here about slippy steps to the front of the property but these are made of granite & were not slippy in the slightest & not sure if granite can get slippy - I didn't think so, but all was good with both existing access ways to the property. The property views exceeded expectations & were amazing. Such a peaceful place with stunning views. There is everything you could possibly need at the property, very well equipped kitchen, hairdryer, iron, ironning board, laundry basket, washing line, pegs, bbq, even found a bucket & spade! in porch

“Enjoyed the cottage nice and spacious.”

The conservatory was nice to sit in on an evening and looking at the views. Could have had better weather but still enjoyed it.

Mrs Stennett, June 2019
“We love staying at Higher Tumrose, that's why we've booked it every May for at least 17 years.”

Its a wonderful place.

“The farmers are nice people.”

We looked up the cottage thinking about going back but we're put off by your prices

The owners were very kind with arrangements for my 90 year old mother. Really beautiful views, very quiet and Blisland is a very friendly village. On a sunny day in December the sunroom was a really warm and a lovely place to sit. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed including another beautiful view. The heating system and wood burner were excellent although the double bedroom next to the living room could be cold at night. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and very well equipped. A beautiful setting on a nice farm. Wonderful, thank you!

“There is a set of stone steps up to the building that get a little slippery when it is wet.”

Higher Tumrose is a very cozy, but spacious bungalow. The large lounge has the best wood burning stove I’ve ever used - so easy to light. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen. Everything worked although the appliances are a bit elderly (the microwave is small). The beds were very comfortable too. The downside; the main bathroom shower was little more than a dribble which meant queuing for the electric en-suite one. There are ten steps up to the front door and the paving is slippery when wet. Only a problem if you book the property, like us, with an elderly parent in mind. Bizarrely the sun lounge was a fly graveyard! This aside, Higher Tumrose was a great place to stay for exploring North Cornwall. We loved the pub too - great beer and really friendly.

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!
