Excellent base for exploring North Cornwall. A lovely tranquil area around the cottage with the lovely sound of owls at night.

We had a wonderful time, the Bulls Cottage was just perfect for us. The house was very well specified. The location was very good. We would certainly recommend it to our friends and will hopefully come back one day

“Just returned from a great week at ...”

Just returned from a great week at Bull's Cottage. We took Norman the dog with us to escape the fireworks and it certainly did that. Well positioned towards the end of the Camel Trail, and a 50 minute walk to the award winning Blisland Inn pub, it gave us great walks. Also being around 30 minutes from Padstow, Wadebridge and Rock on the North coast, and around the same to Fowey on the South coast, it was very well positioned for exploring. Richard the owner was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was very warm, we had to turn the heating off in order to enjoy the lovely log burner. A great cottage in a lovely quite and secluded location. Just what we wanted!

“A lovely small barn conversion, in ...”

A lovely small barn conversion, in a relatively remote spot, wonderfully quiet (apart from the owls!), yet surprisingly quick to reach attractions. Well equipped, lovely small conservatory, all well set up for dog owners. Lots of easy walking down the Camel trail, or more strenuous walks around the coasts, and over the moor. Owners v friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. All in all, a great place to book.

“Cornwall Holiday”

Stopped here 26.08.16 to 02.09.16 after finding it on the Sykes Cottage website in January of this year. Not been to Cornwall for years so this year my husband, daughter (11 years) & I decided this was the place for is & to top it off we treated the dog to a holiday too!!! What a gem of a find Bull's Cottage was. Very, very rural & no pubs or shops within walking distance so it's a case of make sure you have all the supplies you need of a night/day but this didn't bother us as we were out all day & came back at night & relaxed on the patio area & the owners even provided a stake & wire length to attach the dog too as the garden isn't secured. The cottage itself is open plan, lovely conservatory, with a double bedroom in the eaves upstairs & a twin bedroom downstairs with patio doors on to the garden. Very nicely decorated, light & airy & very homely with everything you need. Washing machine was very handy & also the fact linen & towels are provided helps make packing a little lighter. The owner, Richard, a lovely gent, lives at the back of the cottage in a small cluster of cottages & is on hand for whatever you need. Well worth a visit if you're in the area as quite central to all the seaside areas & towns of interest to visit ..... A very pleasant stay & thank you for making our Cornwall holiday one to remember

Lovely cottage, in a quiet area, if peace and quiet is what you want. Found it handy for traveling around, and walking. Nice place to just chill out and get away from the rat race. Owner handy and happy to help.

The cottage is in a tiny cluster of homes including the owners home, but has complete privacy. The location is great, lovely for walking and cycling and within easy reach of bigger places such as Bodmin.

“Absolutely brilliant place to stay”

We stayed there for only 3 nights, should have been more. The cottage is immaculate, everything one could need was there, it has a beautiful aspect and if you like walking, you'r in for a treat. Richard, the owner, lives close at hand and nothing we required was too much trouble for him.A couple of points which I need to mention though, my wife is disabled and can't walk very far, so for a nocturnal visit to the bathroom the 12 steps down & up from the master bedroom was too much, so we had to sleep in the second bedroom with 2 single beds on the same level as the bathroom. You really do need a GPS/Sat' Nav to get about, as all around the cottage are more or less single track roads (I reckon a Range Rover is about as big a vehicle as you can safely get around in) and I would have never found my way there or back from our coastal visits had I not had one. But these small obstacles, which wont really be a problem for most folk, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a REAL "get away from it all" holiday.

The property

For keen cyclists, walkers and nature lovers, or just those who want a truly peaceful break away, this spacious yet cosy detached barn conversion is absolutely perfect.

It is set amongst beautiful woodland, two miles from one of Bodmin Moor's prettiest villages, Blisland.

This is an ideal location for a relaxing holiday and the owners live nearby, so are on hand should you have any queries.

As you approach the cottage, up a long private lane, you begin to sense the unique setting of Bulls Cottage, surrounded by private gardens.

Parking outside, you enter the cottage into an open plan living room, which is full of character with a woodburner and comfortable sofas.

From the sitting area, the conservatory is perfect for dining, whatever the weather, and the kitchen is well equipped.

The two bedrooms are set on different floors, offering privacy for couples and when travelling with friends.

A few stairs lead up from the living area to the beautiful double bedroom in the eaves, enjoying lovely views and stairs lead down from the living area to the bathroom and twin bedroom, which has the advantage of French doors that lead directly out onto the patio garden.

Outside, the gardens offer total relaxation, with a barbecue and garden furniture so you can enjoy alfresco dining when the weather is warm.

Two major attractions, one on the doorstep and one two miles away, are not to be missed; The Blisland Inn is a national award-winning CAMRA pub that people travel from all over the county to visit, for both excellent beer and food.

Closer to home, situated at the bottom of the drive is Poley's Bridge; this is famous as the start of the Camel Trail, a 17-mile route that follows the tracks of a former railway line, one of the oldest in the world, all the way to Padstow.

Because it was designed for steam engines, there are no steep inclines and it is traffic free, making it perfect for both cyclists and walkers!

The trail is also popular with birdwatchers, with a purpose-built hide to be found half way between Wadebridge and Padstow.

With so much to do close by, and the north coast within 20 minutes and the south coast 30 minutes, a stay at Bulls Cottage offers a well-earned break at any time of year.

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!
