“Charming cottage, with all needs catered for.”

Great location to explore Cornwall. Found ourselves hitting the North Coast quite a lot, with Newquay / Padstow all within 20-25 minutes driving.

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Nanstallon is a lovely location and an ideal base for visiting both coasts of Cornwall. The cottage is also just 25 minutes walk from Camel Valley Vineyard which is well worth visiting.
Mr Brierley June 2019

“Have stayed at this cottage before.”

Its well equipped, in a quiet spot, and with easy access to main through routes. We received a warm friendly welcome, and after a brief bit of unpacking went off to find lunch. Nanstallon doesn't have shops / pub etc, but a 10-15 minute walk to the Camel valley trail you will find the Camel valley tea gardens. Tables are on terraces overlooking the trail, hot and cold food, drinks, cream teas etc. In the opposite direction, past Boscarne junction station (steam railway) there's the Borough Arms pub. good food, carvery etc. If you need a fish and chip fix, there's an award winning chippy in Lanivet, just a few minutes drive from the cottage. For exploring Cornwall, for those who don't wish to drive all week, Bodmin park and ride rail station is only a couple of miles away. Links to most major towns in Cornwall.. Had another great week!
Mr Meredith October 2018

“Lovely place with good facilities.”

Have to go everywhere in the car as no local facilities.Only need to be aware of that if it would cause a problem

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were not informed that the local pub is a short walk along the camel trail which serves food and drinks all day. Also the camel valley vineyard is a little further in the opposite direction. Sykes owner relations

“The location was ideal for visiting lots of places from beaches, quaint villages to National Trust properties”
Mrs Davis August 2018

“We had a very enjoyable holiday at Wits End.”

It's a lovely cottage with a very well equipped kitchen, and we appreciated all the books, games and dvds in the evenings. Great location for exploring most of Cornwall! Perfect with a three month old baby but probably less so when they get to the rolling stage. Few minor points - We did find the bed rather uncomfortable and the paintwork could do with a general refresh soon to make the most of the lovely building.

Thank you for your feedback. We have now replaced the mattress with a silent night pocket sprung mattress. We aim to provide our guests with a comfortable nights sleep. Sykes owner relations

“Another lovely week at Wits End!”

Great base to explore the Camel Trail, we enjoyed cycling to Padstow and Wenfordbridge. Ideal location to visit both coasts. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Our second visit and we hope to return next year.
Miss Bate June 2018

“Wits End is perfectly located for exploring Cornwall.”

The cottage is clean and well presented with a lovely comfy bed. There's also a little balcony and mini garden area where it's nice to sit and relax at the end of a busy day.
Mr Morgan June 2018

“Very clean and well equipped cottage with pleasant and helpful owners.”

Will be using it again.
Mrs Feather May 2018

“Wits End was the perfect base for our week in Cornwall - ideal for travelling anywhere in the county.”

We'll definitely use it again.
Mrs Palmer May 2018

“Cottage is in a super location, within minutes of the Camel Trail.”

Well equipped with two outside seating areas - one catches the morning sun and the other is great after a days walking. Inside is a little tired and could do with a general refresh, especially the mattress and the sofa, both of which we found uncomfortable.
Mr Partridge March 2018

“What a lovely holiday home.”

Quiet and peaceful perfect couple s retreat. Clean and so comfortable really loved our week away. Definately want to go back in the near future. Will recommend to family and friends. Thank you. Susan And Matthew Partridge, Halesowen March 2018.

The property

Perfect for both cycling and walking holidays or romantic breaks for two, this charming cottage is set in the village of Nanstallon, overlooking the beautiful Camel Valley and the famous Camel Trail which offers a direct route by foot or bike to Padstow.

This delightful cottage has been designed in an upside down style to make the most of the far-reaching countryside views with the bedroom and en-suite bathroom being situated on the ground floor and the open plan living area with a lovely balcony is on the first floor.

Outside there is a pleasant patio to relax and reflect on the day spent together on the spectacular Camel Trail, which is easily accessed directly from the cottage.

Following a disused railway line you can take the trail inland to the foot of Bodmin Moor to the beautiful moorland village of Blisland, home of the famous real ale pub, The Blisland Inn.

Alternatively take the well-known route through the beautifully wooded valley to Wadebridge and then onto the ever popular town and fishing port of Padstow.

This 18 mile largely traffic-free and virtually level multi-use trail is one of the most pleasurable in the country.

Within walking distance of the cottage is the award-winning Camel Valley Vineyard where you can take a tour or just relax with a cool drink on their sun terrace.

A stay at Wits End is most enjoyable at any time of the year.
