“It would be good to be clear about the Wi-Fi.”

I understand that the area is very rural but the unreliable WiFi was terrible. We don't do social media a lot, but my son is IT manager for his firm and has to access the internet for resolving issues and I needed to monitor my elderly mother at her home, so that I could alert my brother of any concerns. The listing should give an indication of reliability. Otherwise, the cottage is lovely, mostly comfortable (a mattress topper would be good on the double bed) and has great facilities. ...

The area is beautiful, but be prepared to drive along single lane roads for a lot of the time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

“The beds need updating in this property.”

The double bed in the main bedroom badly sagged in the middle, something the owners are aware of as an attempt has been made to shore it up with an additional piece if wood. It was so uncomfortable we had to move into the third bedroom single beds in an attempt to get a good nights sleep. The single beds in the second bedroom were also in need of replacing, one had a piece of MDF nailed onto the end in an attempt to keep it together and the other was also starting to go. Not what you expect for the price you pay for this property. Also, this is advertised as a dog friendly cottage, however, it should be pointed out to dog owners that although the back garden is fully enclosed, it is shared with the next door cottage and has no grass at all.

“We all enjoyed our time spent in this charming and well equipped cottage set in a very attractive area of Cornwall.”

- Mrs Heading, April 2019
“A lovely holiday in a beautiful part of Cornwall.”

The cottage was as we expected as we have stayed twice before,but not since 2012.Just one small thing,the bin collection ,we followed instructions on the information board above the bin but these did not seem to be correct. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather for the time of the year so visited lots of the stunning beaches.All in all a fantastic holiday.

“The seclusion!”

- Mrs Flower, December 2018
“This cottage is remote, but fabulous and the photos provided are very accurate.”

The lane outside is narrow and at night very dark if you have a dog. There are some local walks accessible in daylight hours. Cottage well equipped generally but you will need toilet rolls and hand wash for the bathrooms. Just for info the curtains are coming down in the main bedroom. There is lovely outside space which is secure if you have a dog or children.

“Lovely cottage, some facilities need repairing or replacing, loved the quiet peaceful location.”

Clean but some areas require extra cleaning, but all in all it was great

- Mrs Perkins, September 2018
“This cottage is beautiful, well presented and spacious.”

It was more than comfortable for our family of 5 adults, 1 teenager and our small dog. It is in a very quiet remote small village with no amenities but that did not bother us st all. Around 10 mins / 4 miles from the main A30 main road meant that exploring all towns and villages were accessible from a drive of approx 1 hour (subject to traffic) to the southern point of st ives. A lovely week spent here.

“Problems with the house: 1.”

Stairs, hallways and doors were very noisy when walking on and opening. Squeaking could be clearly heard by those who had gone to bed, keeping them awake. 2. Single beds in the middle double room were not comfortable and again made a lot of noise when you moved. The beds under the single beds were ok to sleep on. 3. The garden was a mess and not pleasant to be in - the gravelly surface had a green mossy/algae type growth on it. The blurb describes a private enclosed lawn with patio - there is no lawn.

- Mr Harding, August 2018
“Great location but left a list of repair jobs to be done at property .”

Very suprised there was no visitor book for comments to be written in both negative and positive . the tv was a nightmare and the batteries should have been renewed two years ago ,there were no instructions for either the tv or freeview box - not helpful ! The recycling calendar was out of date meaning i put loads of recycling out at 8am and brougth in an at 8pm as we did not know the recyling fortnightly dates - very poor !

- Mr Ford, June 2018
“The roads were very narrow---no problem for us but would not suit a nervous driver.”

-------nice quite setting in the moors.

- Mr Daly, June 2018
“Lovely cottage in a beautiful rural location.”

- Mrs Mcquaid, March 2018
“Lovely cottage.”

May be a little remote for some.

- Mrs Cox, September 2017
“Very good cottage everything you needed to make your holiday a success, not a lot of walks for the dog near the cottage.”

- Mr Synan, June 2017
“Lovely big cottage, very comfortable and warm.”

Plenty of space for 6 adults and 1 dog. Nice enclosed area back of the cottage. Lovely big kitchen for family dining. Lovely spacious lounge, enough room for games and entertaining. Plenty of safe parking at the front of the cottage behind closed gates. Beautiful views from the bedroom windows across open fields. Wonderful comfortable beds and superb showers to suit us all.

The property

Bodmin 7.5 miles.

This spacious, beautifully furnished Grade II barn conversion is set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty close to the hamlet of Warleggan, on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor between the ancient towns of Bodmin and Liskeard, Cornwall.

This lovely cottage is in an ideal location and perfect for families or friends who wish to tour all of Cornwall.

Immediately on entering this delightful cottage you will appreciate the character that exudes throughout with exposed timber beams, deep window seats and the slate and timber flooring.

The ground floor consists of the superbly equipped kitchen and dining area with double doors opening out onto the rear garden as well as the comfortable sitting room, along with the cloakroom.

The three large bedrooms are all on the first floor enjoying wonderful far-reaching countryside views with the double benefiting from an en-suite bathroom.

Outside there is a pretty private enclosed garden with patio where you can relax with a refreshing drink whilst planning your days out.

Warleggan is a name instantly familiar to many because of the TV series Poldark, being the surname of one of the featured and feared characters.

Even in the height of summer a stay here will ensure peace and tranquility to guarantee a relaxing holiday.

For those wanting to explore Cornwall, this location, close to the centre of the county makes access to both coasts and all the attractions relatively easy.

With such quality accommodation in such a stunning, peaceful part of the country, a stay at Lower Woods Barn can be enjoyed and appreciated at any time of year.

About the location

BODMIN MOOR

Bodmin 7 miles; Launceston 14 miles

The vast and rugged Bodmin Moor, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forms over 150 square miles of striking, rocky landscape, with much of it declared a Site of Specific Scientific Importance. This ancient location is home to mystical standing stones, old buildings dating from medieval times and thousands of years’ worth of tin mining heritage. There are plenty of beautiful walks to discover, with challenging climbs up some of the tallest spots in Cornwall, offering fantastic far-reaching views towards both the north and south coast on fine days. The nearby town of Launceston, fondly thought of as the Gateway to Cornwall, can be found to the north east, with beautiful Georgian buildings set around its central square, and romantic ruins of a Norman castle at the outskirts. In the other direction, the historic town of Bodmin lies to the south west, with a host of exciting attractions including its Courtroom Experience, the Bodmin Jail, the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, or a trip to see each of the seven holy wells, which lie dotted around the town. Ancient Jamaica Inn, which lies in the heart of the moor, brims with smuggling and pirate history; almost 300 years old, it's celebrated in Daphne du Maurier’s popular novel and is well worth a visit. With much to see and do, and stunning scenery all around, Bodmin Moor is a delightful destination for your holiday.
