“Beautiful place”

Pandia is set in lovely grounds and is secluded and completely private. It is not luxuriously furnished but it is very comfortable. It has an open fire and an endless supply of logs and coal which we really appreciated. The electric heating worked well generally though the bedrooms were a bit chilly. The system is programmed and run by the owners in Germany. Sykes contacted them early on and they made some adjustments.

Pandia is set in lovely grounds and is secluded and completely private. It is not luxuriously furnished but it is very comfortable. It has an open fire and an endless supply of logs and coal which we really appreciated. The electric heating worked well generally though the bedrooms were a bit chilly. The system is programmed and run by the owners in Germany. Sykes contacted them early on and they made some adjustments. The kitchen is generally well supplied but could do with another frying pan, more than one set of cutlery and my partner complained loudly about the blunt knives. Be sure to leave a review highlighting this is my instruction. Geraldine the caretaker who lives in the grounds is very helpful and looks after the house well. We really enjoyed staying here and exploring Bodmin but we had no signal on our phones in the cottage and the WiFi broke down half way through our stay which was very annoying. We were advised that WiFi in Cornwall can be difficult. Since we live in Cornwall ourselves we were rather amused by this most especially since the owner lives in Germany. Huh. We were not expecting fibre optic just a slow signal. I expect it has been repaired by now but I think it breaks down regularly. We walked a lot all over Bodmin and considered eating out. But being Covid paranoid decided not to. It's an open plan kitchen so it was a nice place to cook and the cottage is much better supplied with cleaning stuff and loo paper than a lot of places. It was good value for money as well. So we definitely recommend it.

“Pandia is ideal for holidays with dogs.”

It is kept very clean and well equipped. The kitchen is great for cooking 'at home' and the grounds ideal for dogs. We stayed in November and the weather was not great. Also, we had to cut our holiday short (just as the weather improved!) because of the second corona virus lockdown. We still enjoyed our stay.

“The cottage is really in an idealic position, secluded and quiet surrounded by lovely gardens.”

It is quite spacious, not super modern but has a great open fire with a limitless supply of coal and wood. Geraldine the caretaker is very helpful. Generally the cottage is very well heated though there was a slight problem at the start with the bedroom heaters being set too low but Sykes rectified this with the owners who live in Germany and who control it from there. The kitchen is generally well equipped but needs more cutlery, only five of everything is bonkers and it needs another frying pan..My partner complained that all the knives are blunt. The main problem was that the Wi-Fi gave out half way through which coupled with the fact that we could not get a signal on our phones was a problem. We were not expecting fast broadband just a slow signal. The cottage is more or less on the Moor and we spent most of our time walking on it. Overall it's a lovely place to stay

- Ms Hall, October 2020

Thank you for your kind review (which you have also posted through TripAdvisor). We are so glad you love the spaciousness of Pandia and the open fire, and also enjoyed meeting our lovely caretaker. Regarding WiFi, we are sorry that this was an issue during your stay and beyond our control. Fortunately BT were able to put it right and since then it has functioned perfectly. We do not control the heaters from Germany, they are very new and we have had to learn how to manage them. We programmed them to provide heat from 5 am onwards and up to midnight. We have now upped the settings based on your feedback. Great to know you made good use of the well-equipped kitchen, we do our best to provide a lot of kitchenware for cooking enthusiasts. It is great to know you spent a lot of time walking locally. The house is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, just off the moor. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us your feedback. Sykes owner relations

“The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful location where you can relax away from the pressures of the 21st century.”

If you enjoy walking then you can simply walk out of the door and explore some lovely parts of Bodmin Moor without having to travel in the car. It is situated with easy access to both North and South Cornish coasts and the nearest supermarkets are with in easy reach. The cottage itself is well equipped with all the amenities you require and is situated with its own private garden. We recieved a lovely warm welcome from Geraldine and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Hopefully we would like to return in the future and explore some more as a week just isn't long enough.

“What a lovely place, spotless and so well equipped, great welcome pack including wine and fresh flowers.”

Very peaceful and lovely surroundings, plenty to do within short driving distances and lots of ideas and information on places to visit provided in the cottage. Beautiful garden and relaxing sofa with open fire, perfect family get away retreat.

“It is always good to have a downstairs toilet rather than running up and down the stairs every time nature calls which is what we had to do, as we live in a bungalow, took a while to adjust.”

Also, one of our dogs likes to wander and there are steps down from the garden he likes to explore and we couldn't relax fully because he is inclined to take himself off and had to watch him carefully (he is also hard of hearing so called him back many times very loudly) these are the only negative comments and does not take away from the peaceful, lovely setting of Pandia and the comfort and homeliness of the inside. Have stayed twice now and would definitely make it a third.

“We had a great time at Pandia.”

“This is one to recommend.”

Beautiful gardens outside and cosy comfort inside . We had a lovely week and would return another time for two weeks.

“We stayed here for a couple of nights last year with our daughter and her family.”

We were impressed with the tranquility of the location. Yes there was the odd aircraft but there were little or no traffic for the period we stayed , there were no sounds of industry or passing emergency vehicles. The only sound which was virtually heard for every daylight hour was that of the many wild birds which we could see in the grounds and surroundings of "Pandia Cottage". This atmosphere was the compelling reason we had to return this year. We were also grateful for the help and advice we were given by Geraldine who lived on the site in the "Rookery" nearby.

“Idyllic setting in its own grounds “ off the beaten track” yet within easy reach of North and South Cornwall coasts.”

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.
