• "Bulls Cottage was well equipped, comfortable and in an idyllic location."

  Ideal for dog owners with an enclosed garden and plenty of walks from the doorstep. Its situation just minutes from the Camel Trail was perfect.

• "The only problem with the cottage was that the downstairs bedroom smelled a bit damp It would benefit from having either a small window put in that could be opened or some kind of expel air,so could the bathroom."

  That said the bedroom and the sheets, duvets, towels etc were all clean and they didn't snell musty.

• "We did enjoy our stay at Bulls Cottage and found it a good base to range out from and visit the area."

  Owners were very friendly and accommodating, even loaning us OS maps for areas we planned to walk. They also provided kindling and logs for the log burner, which made the place really cozy. The double bed was really comfortable, one of the best we've encountered in a rental. We did find that the access road is extremely narrow and rather muddy, with two gates to open/shut. This meant tracking mud into the car when leaving and arriving. People with wide vehicles will need to be careful as vegetation rubbed along both sides of our car. The cottage was really well equipped although we would suggest that the scatter rugs could be trip hazards, so we rolled them up till we left. A great place to really hide away from the world.

  Had everything we needed & Richard made it clear that whatever we needed we must let him know. Thank you Richard, look forward to returning in the future

• "A lovely cosy little cottage, we were actually encouraged to use as much heating/hot water as we needed."

  Owners live nearby and were friendly and helpful. The garden was safely enclosed for my dog, a Spaniel, but it would have been easier to let him out into it from the conservatory. A small fence from the door to the garden gate. As it was, I let him out from my downstairs bedroom, straight into the garden.

• "We have stayed in many Sykes cottages and this was the first time there was not a welcome pack."

  Also we had to buy a few essentials that are normally at a cottage. We left the washing machine powder we bought. We just feel these touches are nice to arrive to. The host was very helpful in sorting out the hot water and informing us about the heating. We would recommend this cottage to other people if you want peace and quiet and off the beaten track. Eden Project is a must to visit and quite close.

• "We had a lovely time in Cornwall and the cottage (a completely salvaged and renovated barn!"

  ) was in a reasonably good location for all our day trips to Penzance, St. Ives, Tintagel, Port Isaac, and the coastal paths for hiking. The cottage is really cute and well-equipped although the twin room is very small — no space for luggage — as is the living room (there were only 3 of us); it was good we spent very little time at or inside the cottage. The sheets on the beds smelled “musty” even though the cottage was clean. The bathroom fan didn’t work very well and we wished there was a window. The WiFi is almost non-existent so it’s not the place for anyone wanting to catch up on social media or emails, or anything related to the Internet in the evenings. The solarium is wonderful and the owner (who lives next door) was most pleasant. We had an enjoyable stay.

• "Bulls Cottage is a lovely, secluded holiday property set in a peaceful location, exactly what we wanted."

  We enjoyed cycling and walking the Camel trail which was right on the doorstep. The A30 isn't far away which made it easy to get out and about to explore Cornwall. The owners couldn't be more helpful and made us really welcome. We highly recommend Bulls Cottage and will definitely return in the near future.

  Clean and cosy and had all we needed. Very warm, and hot water available at all times. Owner was very friendly and helpful. We also worked remotely for 3 days and WiFi worked just fine for that. Great location near Bodmin makes for an easy drive to see both the north and south coasts of Cornwall, the Eden project, etc. We loved our week there and hope to be back!

• "A wonderful little cottage in very peaceful surroundings."

  Everything we needed for a relaxing 2 week stay. Very clean and comfortable and the owners who live behind the cottage were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The main bedroom, leading up from the main living area is a delight, just be careful of the low ceiling height over the bed which you soon get used to. There was plenty of parking space for our 2 vehicles. We loved having the garden too, great for our dog, and we sat out there most evenings. Chairs and table were all provided in the garden shed. Despite the fairly remote position of the cottage, Sainsbury’s happily delivered our grocery shop which was very helpful. The private drive up to the cottage is quite narrow but you quickly get used to it. We enjoyed some lovely walks nearby and the Camel trail was very close at Poley’s bridge. There were so many wonderful places we visited all within 20- 40 mins drive. We loved our stay at Bull’s Cottage and would happily return.

• "What a beautiful little Cottage, a place to get away from it all, with all the facilities you need for a holiday break."

  Richard the nearby owner came and made sure we were settled in on the first day and was every bit polite and the perfect host. The access to the property was narrow yes, but a pleasure to get off the big busy roads, and in fact this gave the cottage its peace and quiet so every bit worth the small trip and your unlikely to cross another car and there are places to pass if in the unlikely event you meet another car. The Camel trail is in walking distance from the cottage and had many fantastic places where you can stop and enjoy the area and the rivers beauty. Padstow, Polzeath and Wadebridge all a short trip away from the cottage with many more places to visit. We had a lovely break.

• "We had a lovely week at Bulls cottage which is in an ideal location for the Camel Track and peaceful walks along the river."

  When at cottage it was nice just chilling in the garden. One of the bedrooms opens out onto a patio so was safe and secure for small children. The cottage has everything you need to hand so all you need is some food and you can do just what you please. There is even a small shed where I could store my bike. The Hosts are really nice and live close by and were really helpful when I had to call on them. Can’t ask for more really, we hope to pay another visit soon.

• "Was nice and quiet, lots of nice places to go for long walks in the surrounding area."

  There's a camel trail just down the road. We didn't d do that one but was recommended by the owner. We went Into Padstow and done a sea life boat trip, we got to see a seal. Theres a lovely little harbour down there was about 30 minute drive. We also went to tinetagel Castle, and Manack. The cottage is lovely, it has a double bedroom and a room with two single beds, was clean and had all the things you would expect I. E. Microwave, dishwasher plates etc. It was clean and smelt lovely when we walked in too. Would recommend staying here and would go again.

• "We had a great week in Bull's Cottage."

  Off the beaten track but convenient for so many places - the Camel Trail, the coast, lovely towns and villages - the description of the property is helpful and accurate and there is more information in the cottage about places to visit. The kitchen is well-planned and had everything we needed for self-catering. The weather was not great when we were there but the cottage was so cosy and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely week.

• "The listing describes the cottage really well."

  It's in a lovely rural location if you're looking for a feeling of seclusion. It's thoughtfully equipped and laid out and was plenty big enough for just the two of us. We didn't have our dog this trip but noticed that the rear garden is fully enclosed, which is helpful. The owners home is just behind the cottage but very unobtrusive, they offered any information or help we needed but we were fine and just saw them briefly on the first and last day. All in all, a great find.

• "We stayed for 1 week at Bulls Cottage about a week after England allowed for overnight travel so we were the first guests to stay in the cottage for over 3 months."

  We chose it because it was tucked away and isolated but within driving distance of many villages and attractions in Cornwall. We had a great stay here, the host Richard was helpful and friendly. It is very close to the Camel Trail for those who plan to hike or cycle in the area. When we weren't out exploring, we were able to cook, watch movies (there is a DVD player and a drawer of DVDs), and do laundry here. The only minor issue was there was some dust and spiders in the corners, but this is likely because it hadn't been lived in for a few months. The cottage is the perfect size for a couple or a family with one or two kids, and was a great value for a week's stay. We'd definitely consider staying here again in the future.

• "It has been a really lovely holiday away from the normal routine for me."

  I went on my own. I felt so welcome at Bulls cottage, and found the recommendations from the owners such as the camel trail and visit to Padstow and to Fowey -so helpful. I am not familiar with Cornwall nor do I have friends or family in the area so to have the owners on site was great for me. I saw them on occasion when I was going out and about. They are there if you need them otherwise you have the property to yourself. I thought the facilities and the location were outstanding. The beds and seating areas were very comfortable. I had everything I needed. Thank you.

  Bed was really comfortable, everything we needed was there. The dog had a great time too! The properety is ideally placed for walking or trips to the coast and there are some great local Inn's providing good/excellent food at reasonable prices. The lane to the property provides an interesting challenge initially, but we soon got used to the steep incline and blind bends. We will definatley be back.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Bull's Cottage."

  It is well appointed and cosy. We stayed in October so could not sit out in the garden or use the bbq, which must be wonderful in summer. It is well placed and we were able to get to all tourist attractions easily. Cleanliness rating a little down due to cobwebs, but then it is Autumn! The approach to the cottage is not for the faint-hearted. We got used to it, but perhaps it needs to be made clearer, as I could imagine that others might be challenged.

  The owners were on hand if you should need anything and we’re delightful. The location was great for exploring Cornwall and the quiet tucked away setting was peaceful and beautiful.

• "We loved Bulls Cottage, just what we were looking for very secluded and quiet."

  You need to be organised with your provisions as there are no shops within walking distance, we tended to use the local Asda which was about 25 minutes away. The cottage is very homely and comfortable everything you could possibly need was provided. What a lovely man Richard was, very friendly, gave tips and advice where needed, always on hand if we needed him but not in your face or at all intrusive, infact was very helpful, with a surprise delivery from my partners daughter for Fathers Day which went above and beyond. Although the location was very rural nothing was too far away with Landsend probably being the furthest about 2hrs away. If you need a get away from it all to totally unwind this is the place. Definitely on our "we want to return list".

  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!
