“Meadowside Cottage was well situated for access to Wadebridge, Padstow, Rock and the surrounding area.”

The cottage itself was very quaint and picturesque with a lovely quiet garden, full of birds. It was well-furnished and clean, the bed linen and towels were good quality, and it was generally well-equipped, although there was no draining rack for crockery in the kitchen and no drying rack for indoor hanging of wet clothes in the garage/utility (not everything can go in the tumble drier). But none of these were huge problems. Probably not a good choice if you have a very tall family - my son and ...

The cottage itself was very quaint and picturesque with a lovely quiet garden, full of birds. It was well-furnished and clean, the bed linen and towels were good quality, and it was generally well-equipped, although there was no draining rack for crockery in the kitchen and no drying rack for indoor hanging of wet clothes in the garage/utility (not everything can go in the tumble drier). But none of these were huge problems. Probably not a good choice if you have a very tall family - my son and husband banged their heads numerous time on the doors, but we knew that when we booked it! Altogether a good holiday in Cornwall and we will be back next year!

“Meadowside Cottage was very cost and set in quiet countryside (very skinny lanes), suited us very well.”

It was a great base from which to visit old haunts throughout Cornwall. The only comment I would make is that the welcoming booklet could have been more detailed (including where to find the various instruction manuals for white goods etc) but, it certainly didn't deter from our stay. It was really helpful to have milk, eggs and biscuits waiting for us on arrival :-)

“Thanks for the goodies in the fridge and the wine.”

Perhaps the window locks could be replaced with easier to use ones

“Lovely cottage in a very pretty area .”

You would not be able to walk into Wadebridge as Road very narrow. Garden pretty but disappointed the sitting area had not been cleaned at all and was run down. 2nd bedrooom the bed was comfy however I felt at times it was going to fall to bits and it needs to be looked st for future guests my bet is all the screws are lose as you couldn’t move in it due to squeaking and rattling. Master bedroom was lovely Views from the garden stunning.

“The heating thermostat needs to be altered for the winter (times need to be altered, needs to be on for longer).”

Or leave better instructions on its use. Everything else was excellent.

“We had exactly the holiday we wanted!”

The property was excellent and situated well for where we wanted to visit. We loved it!! If we were to be exceptionally picky, the only little 'down' was that the shower was somewhat small - other than that, PERFECT!! . . . Thank you x

“The cottage was more spacious that we anticipated from the photos.”

Very clean, very well equipped. Someone had stocked the fridge with a bottle of wine, box of biscuits and, most importantly, a bottle of milk which was a lovely touch.

The property

Rock 8 miles.

Located in the quiet rural hamlet of Burlwan, only 1.5 miles from Wadebridge and 8 miles from Rock, this most spacious and welcoming 300-year old detached cottage has been beautifully restored with flair and imagination, to produce the perfect holiday home. As you pull into the private gated entrance of Meadowside, the ambience and tranquil location greets you.

Enter into the porch, with ample room for coats and boots and then into the sitting room which is full of character, with a fine inglenook fireplace, wood burner, and exposed beams and comfortable sofas in which to relax. From here head through into the well-equipped kitchen with an electric AGA and polished granite worktops. Then it’s up one step into the magnificent dining room, with white beamed cottage ceiling, the original slate floors and a cast iron decorative range. In keeping with the age of the cottage, narrow stairs from the kitchen will take you to the landing, and onto the three lovely bedrooms, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a super king-size bed, the other two rooms share a shower room. Outside, the garage acts as a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer. A good sized garden with a pretty summerhouse and a selection of furniture provides the ideal opportunity to take in the stunning forest and countryside views, a wonderful peaceful place to relax at any time of day. With Wadebridge being so close, if you don't bring your own bikes then hiring some and following the Camel trail to Padstow is a must, before stopping for lunch or a cream tea. With the wonderful beaches at Polzeath or Daymer Bay so close, and the whole of the amazing north Cornwall coastline waiting to be explored, Meadowside is the ideal base for a special holiday at any time of year.
