• "Had a lovely week at this cottage with our Labrador."

  Garden was great and secure, great walks from the house, very quiet and peaceful. Local shop and pub great, both dog friendly and welcoming. Plenty of hills and tiny roads but that's the area. The Camal Trail was a great find and flat and easy walking. Would happily recommend this property.

• "Absolutely beautiful cottage."

  As soon as we arrived in the cottage you could feel the welcoming ambience. Angela and her husband looked after us and they were brilliant. The beautiful scenery across the fields was stunning. The bed was so comfortable we didn’t want to get up in the morning. Our dog claimed the bay window sleeping on her blanket and guarding the garden from the several robins and sparrows that visited. I can’t explain how relaxing the whole accommodation was. We just loved it to bits.

• "We had the most enjoyable stay at Tumrose cottage."

  The garden was beautifully kept and very secure for our dog, who enjoyed playing and racing around it all the time we were there. The cottage had everything you could possibly need for an excellent stay, with charming comfortable bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and sitting/eating area. I would happily recommend this wonderful cottage for families and couples alike. The village had an excellent Pub with superb meals and the people were so helpful and very friendly. It is a great base to go exploring other villages and places of interest. Thank you for a wonderful stay. B, Thomas. Mrs.

• "Perfect get away cottage, everything was provided for including dish washer tablets !"

  The secure garden was great for our 2 dogs which meant we could relax. The cottage itself is light and airy and the bed very comfortable also 2 toilets which is a benefit. Tumrose is a great location for exploring North Cornwall and further a field. Camel trail not far and plenty of walks from the village too. The pub, "The Blissland Inn" is really worth a visit, go hungry as the portions are large and for the perfect cream tea can be found at the Duchy of Cornwall Garden center, well worth a visit and mot just for the plants. All in all you will not be disappointed with your stay at Tumrose, we've booked again for next April already.

  We enjoyed our week very much. Nice pub down the village. We went only once to try their famous ale. If you are a walker, we recommend a nice 8 mile circular walk from the farm To St Breward, we decided to walk further to Churchtown for a pint and lunch. On the way back we visited the jubilee stone. All in all we fully recommend this place.

  The countryside surrounding is some of Cornwall’s finest. Our only slight criticism is that the cottage felt a little ‘tired’ in places and perhaps could do with a deep clean. The beds were comfy, important for us and the linen was superb quality which didn’t go unnoticed! We were made to feel very welcome. We would recommend.

  Thank you for your feedback, we're glad to hear that you would recommend Tumrose Cottage! Following a busy season we are pleased to advise that we have now embarked on redecoration and refreshment of the cottage and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

  Couches do get a little uncomfortable after an hour of sitting on them, and tv could be larger due to distance to viewing area. Please could owners consider having emergency contact information for drs, dentists and especially vets in the cottage - our dog slipped and severely injured his leg and took time finding an emergency vet.

  It is comfortable and homely; well equipped with everything you might need. Sheila and Kim are welcoming and helpful, and it’s great to see and hear their animals on the farm and to be able to wander freely through the fields and tracks. This is my 3rd visit to TUMROSE in a year! I just can’t keep away… The surroundings are wonderful for walkers, dogs and families, and a short drive through the country lanes will bring you to the delights of the stunning North coast of Cornwall with its beautiful beaches, cliff walks and lovely scenery. Last week our stay at TUMROSE was enhanced by wall to wall sunshine and a refreshing breeze- what more could anyone ask for?! Jenny

• "The only comment I have is that the Cooker is old- it works , but slowly!"

  When the oven is on its easy to burn your arm on the inside of the door because it swings back on your left arm when you are either taking something out or putting something in the oven. This is dangerous.. especially if there are children around. Everything else was lovely and cosy and well equipped. The woodburner was a great asset as the weather was appalling for most of the week and we appreciated the bags of logs that we were provided with. It was helpful having 2 loos as well, and the beds were very comfortable ! I shall be back again for another week In June! Jenny.

  Kim and Shiela are wonderful people who are very welcoming and considerate a container of milk in the fridge, chocolate biscuits on the side made you feel very welcome. The cottage was warm and the beds very comfortable and also a very good internet connection. My daughter loved the proximity to the animals and the fact that Kim allowed her to help with their feeding. The bottom line is that Tumrose is a superb location with a safe environment for children and dogs. I wholeheartedly recommend Tumrose, you will not be disappointed with the location, the cottage or, more importantly Kim and Shiela.

• "Property was fine but I'm afraid cleanliness was an issue for me considering there was a note that suggested extra cleaning due to covid."

  Kitchen surfaces were dirty and had crumbs. Cups, glasses, plates, bowls and saucepans all had to be cleaned prior to use. The cutlery tray is also dirty. Hoovering had not been done well, as there was dust and hair around the edges of the living area. The TV unit was dusty and hairy. The twin room had a very dusty carpet and dog treats under the bed (noticed due to us moving the furniture to suit our needs). Main bed frame extremely dusty at the headboard end (noticed when remaking the bed each day). The mattress also has stains on (noted when removing the bedding at the end of our stay). Main bathroom, sink had not been fully cleaned behind the taps. The towel rail/radiator had not been cleaned and was dusty on every rung, as was the toilet roll holder. In addition, although it appeared clean, the toilet seat was a rather off putting aged yellow colour, with staining under the seat. The back of the bathroom door was also covered in dust. The listing suggests parking for 2 cars, this was not possible and we left our second car elsewhere during our stay. No safe path from parking area to property meant we had to walk on the grass each day. Crazy paving type stepping stones were slippery and uneven. Patio area to front of property was also slippery. External lighting was totally inadequate. We were unable to bring our dog in or out of the property without stepping onto the grass (it rained for the majority of our stay) which made keeping the property clean much more difficult. The hoover provided to enable me to clean up dog hair during my stay was not up to the job so bought my daughters one over to use. The mop has clearly been there for a very long time and requires replacing. I'm afraid I wouldn't choose to return to this property.

  Thank you for your feedback, We can confirm that Tumrose Cottage was thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival and in preparation for your stay, Christmas decorations were put up, lights were left on a tea tray was set out and the cottage was kept warm. Great care is taken in cleanliness especially in these Covid times, during our chat there was no mention of any issues in which case we would have been happy to address these at the time. Lighting on the outside of the property is motion detected. While parking is available for a two cars, there is also additional parking nearby. Property Owner

  The cottage is well-equipped, with a good shower and very comfortable beds. The photos don't do it justice, and furniture inside and out has been updated and is now elegant and of good quality. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing, with lots of flowers, bees, birds and a wonderful apple tree which provides shade on sunny days. It is fully enclosed and genuinely dog secure, with wire across the bottom of any fences and gates, and around hedges too. A great garden for the dog. There are walks onto Bodmin Moor from the cottage, and the Camel Trail is also a few miles' walk away. Blisland is a great base to explore the rest of Bodmin Moor, and the North Coast (Tintagel, Trebarwith, Port Isaac, Padstow), and the South Coast (St Austell, Charlestown, Fowey etc). I'd definitely recommend Tumrose Cottage.

  Now that they appear to have been taken over by Sykes Holiday Cottages we are less than delighted. Sykes Cottages have imposed a booking fee, which Helpful Holidays never did; they have removed the Family & Friends discount, which Helpful Holidays gave us; and they have increased the rental charge without any consultation with the owners of the holiday cottage. We have been going to the same holiday cottage for all these years - because it suits us and we like it. There is no advantage to us in having a much wider range of cottages to choose from. We have booked our holiday for next year - same weeks, same cottage - and it is costing us over £300 more than our holiday this year. We are not happy with Skyes Holiday Cottages.

• "Lovely time at the cottage."

  It was mainly ideal for our circumstances with enough space and all on one level. A seat in the shower for our disabled aged relative would have enabled use of that for them, standing using the bars was not an option and a stool in the hall could move about in the shower and was too low. That being said they did not advertise that this would be available and not knowing fully what space we had to play with meant the one used at home was left behind. The owners were helpful and asked us to contact them should anything be needed , other than that they kept their distance and were not in our pockets. Lots of information about local things to see and do. The Blisland Inn is a real bonus, being within easy walking distance for anybody without mobility problems and with plenty of parking around the village green. We were advised by bar staff to book for Sunday lunch if we wanted to eat in the restaurant part, which was a good tip for there are no many tables in that part. In the bar and outside you can order off the bar menu which is extensive, food from local producers and reasonably priced. All the people in the bar were friendly and helpful and we even went to do the pub quiz on a Weds night. The post office/ shop/café was not open every day and closed part of some days and sells newspapers and basic food needs. Nearest supermarket is Asda, a short drive away and is a large one. The church in Blisland is said to be John Betjemen's favourite. It is small inside with Norman features with a very impressive ornate altar and is open for anybody to wander around. Most disappointed by Pencarrow House, despite all its blurb. Booking through Sykes was easy and very detailed information was provided, unlike other similar booking sites.
