“There is nothing I would change about the whole location and cottage.”

If i were pushed i would suggest perhaps a new mattress in the master bedroom would be a good addition

Mel June 2024

“We had an absolutely wonderful month-long stay at Higher Tumrose.”

The location is nothing short of idyllic, perfectly nestled within striking distance of some of Cornwall's must-see attractions. The property itself is a haven for families, offering endless opportunities to explore the farm and moorlands, with plenty to keep everyone entertained. The charming village, complete with a quaint shop, lush green, and a welcoming pub, is just a pleasant stroll away. Mr. and Mrs. Larsen were the epitome of gracious hosts, always on hand with a warm smile and helpful advice, making our stay truly memorable. We will definitely book again.

Niels April 2024

“Our 2 week stay was amazing.”

The views from the house are wonderful and the environment idyllic. We felt very welcomed by Sheila and Kim. The house was spacious and exactly right for our 6 person family stay. From the house you can visit several highlights of Cornwall, being strategically in the middle, but a visit to the local Blisland Inn is a must. The Bodmin Moor was just in walking distance from the cottage. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday in Cornwall.

- Niels, April 2024
Wilko April 2024

“A lovely cottage.”

Complete and comfortabele. Lover the woodburner. Wood was included. Warm welcome by the owner. Including free range eggs!! Great place to explore Bodmin moor and Southwest west cornwall. We enjoyed our stay and recomend the cottage and the Blisland inn:-)

- Wilko, April 2024
Gemma March 2024

“Lovely spacious cottage.”

It had everything we needed for a week’s stay as a family of 6. Beds really comfortable. Lovely views from the windows, our children loved seeing the sheep with their new lambs playing in the field.

- Gemma, March 2024
Sheela March 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Higher Tumrose.”

The location was central to explore Bodmin Moor and the coast . There are plenty of walks from the cottage. The cottage is very well furnished, has a beautiful sun room giving lovely views and is very quiet. The kitchen has more than enough utensils to cook for 7 people and more than adqueate dinner service. There is a dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer, however we used the airing cupboard to dry our clothes. A small clothes rack would not have gone amiss. The bunglow is very spacious allowing everyone to have space and beautifully furnished. Comfortable beds were noted and warm bedding for everyone. The hosts were very generous with their time, help and advice on what to see in the area. The free logs for the fire were well appreciated. Thank you for your generosity, Shah Family London

“This is the second time we’ve stayed here as a couple.”

We appreciate the space in the cottage and the absolute peace and privacy which surrounds the place. The views are wonderful out over the fields, allowing us to identify lots of birds. The cottage is not overlooked at all and it’s surrounded by a beautiful large garden, but the owners live a stone’s throw away so are on hand if needed. We were very grateful for their presence and help early one morning when we woke to find the all electric house had suffered a power cut overnight during a storm! Mr and Mrs L were so kind, offering us breakfast and hot tea and a portable gas stove. They were superb, very friendly and their help was much appreciated. This cottage is warm and cosy, the log burner is wonderful and logs are provided whenever you need them. We feel very fortunate to have found this special place and hope we shall be able to stay a third time.

“Such a lovely place to spend our Christmas break 2023.”

The MASTER bedroom with its splendid views, the spacious living space, plenty of bedrooms to fit 3 adults and 3 children, the lovely walks through the fields, the delight of a wood burner & the friendliest of hosts. Too much to mention really.

Catherine October 2023

“Fantastic property in a great location with lovely hosts!”

Lots of space for everyone though kept it's cosy feel. Very well equipped kitchen and much appreciated milk & biscuits on arrival. Log burner was a real treat & plenty of logs etc supplied for our stay. All major supermarkets really close by as well. We mainly used it as a base to explore further afield as we werewithin driving distance of many fabulous places so will definitely be back to explore the immediate area more next time. You won't regret booking Higher Tumrose!

- Catherine, October 2023
Amanda October 2023

“We had a fantastic stay, everything we needed or wanted was available in the cottage.”

We found the accommodation very clean and comfortable. The hosts were lovely people, very friendly and informative about places to visit in the surrounding areas and always ready to answer any questions. The location was stunning. We will be back.

- Amanda, October 2023
Michael September 2023

“We enjoyed a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Higher Tumrose.”

The Cottage was well presented and very comfortable. The views are wonderful with pleasant scenery across fields and valleys. The location is ideal for visiting either coast of Cornwall and venturing further afield. Our hosts Mr and. Mrs Larson were really friendly and helpful. An excellent property to stay, relax and unwind.

- Michael, September 2023
Carolyne September 2023

“Yet another fabulous holiday in this comfortable, well equipped cottage.”

Well placed to visit beaches on either coast and super walks from the doorstep - perfect for our family and two springers. St Tudy Inn was a great find. Looking forward to our next stay at Higher Tumrose already.

- Carolyne, September 2023
David August 2023

“We, 4 adults, 2 small children and 2 dogs, have spent a week here in this large well equipped comfortable cottage situated in a lovely place with great views and handy walks from it.”

Easy walking to the village shop and pub with the coast only 15 miles away through interesting country lanes. If you have children do visit Lappa Valley for a very enjoyable day out.

Rebecca July 2023

Graham March 2023

“Excellent cottage in a lovely rural setting, very well equipped and comfortable.”

Although an older property and has some aging features, everything works and provides an excellent base for exploring this area of Cornwall, with easy reach of both coasts. Lovely position with walking from the door to both wooded streamed areas, and the moor. Great village with well stocked local shop, and great local pub serving excellent food at very good prices with a friendly atmosphere. Ideal for couples or families relaxing in the sunroom, or exploring the area.

- Graham, March 2023
Anne-marie December 2022

“We had a wonderful family Christmas at Higher Tumrose.”

The hosts were very helpful & welcoming.Tumrose is in a beautiful location on the moor & was warm & comfortable. This was our second visit. We found it to be home from home & definitely if available would hope to make another visit during 2023.

- Anne-marie, December 2022
Jennifer October 2022

“Higher Tumrose was a perfect place to be for our Holiday!”

It was quiet and peaceful, beautifully equipped, with stunning views across the fields and woods. Secure and exciting for Rossi and Billy (our 4 legged friends) to explore, and plenty of good walks nearby. The house was spotlessly clean with most attractive furniture that was comfortable and homely. The attention to detail was excellent, and Mr and Mrs Larsen were both welcoming and kind and we enjoyed looking around their interesting Farm. We explored both the Church and the Pub in the Village- both very interesting and well worth a visit! Altogether this was a restful and enjoyable week in an interesting area of previously unknown deepest Cornwall that we will definitely return to as soon as possible. Mike, Annie and Jenny.

- Jennifer, October 2022
Carolyne September 2022

“We have stayed at Higher Tumrose before and enjoyed our stay just as much this time, despite the turn in the weather.”

We rebooked for next year within 24 hours of getting home. Beautiful cottage. Great location.

- Carolyne, September 2022
Hayley August 2022

“A fantastic cottage, quiet and really clean and comfortably able to accommodate a party of six adults.”

The stay was enhanced by some nice touches that were left for us, from toilet paper and dishwasher tablets through to some lovely chocolate biscuits. The cottage is approx 30 mins from Port Isaac to the North and Fowey to the South, so ideally located for days out and about. I could not recommend Higher Tumrose enough and would definitely come again.

- Hayley, August 2022
Rebecca July 2022

“We had a lovely time thanks.”

We have been coming as a family for about 30 years and have always enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and Mr and Mrs Larsen very welcoming.

- Andrea, April 2022
Debbie April 2022

“We were thrilled with this beautiful cottage which had everything there that you could have wished for.”

Extremely spacious, including the fourth bedroom which although small was more than adequate. The master bedroom is amazing! Good communication from the owner who is nearby, very helpful, but not at all intrusive. Lovely setting, surrounded by fields.

- Debbie, April 2022
Karen March 2022

“We had the best holiday ever at Higher Tumrose with our 2 dogs.”

The property is wonderful with stunning views from every window. We were so sad to go home and leave this heavenly place. There are walks directly from the house and the local area is beautiful. The owner was very friendly and welcoming.

- Karen, March 2022
Graham February 2022

“Lovely property, superb position with lovely conservatory overlooking the hills.”

Very comfortable property, with all necessary facilities, log burner, dishwasher and well equipped kitchen. Very peaceful and great for super local pub ( Blissland Arms), excellent local shop with friendly service. Great walking from the cottage door.

- Graham, February 2022
Peter November 2021

“The property reflected the price paid.”

We would not recommend it for the “high” season because the facilities do not match the price that would be paid then. The single bedroom should be a shower room for the use of the double bedroom at that end of the house. The owners were very nice and helpful.

- Peter, November 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear the owners of Higher Tumrose provided a warm welcome. This particular property has a strong history of repeat bookers and positive feedback - we are sorry to hear you wont be returning for a summer stay. Property Owner
Mark October 2021

“Beautiful place to stay and relax, owners were very friendly and have a beautiful collie.”

to be able to walk around the back of the property through the owners private paddocks and be on Bodmin Moor in ten minutes was a real joy, just such a beautiful area and the walks were amazing. after a long walk with the dogs to get back light up the woodburner and have something nice cooking in the well stocked kitchen with a glass of red (or two). the perfect place to unwind and relax. Thank you

Tamara September 2021

“Higher Tumrose is a beautiful cottage set in a very rural location.”

Everything we needed was provided. The view is gorgeous with the added antics of the small flock of sheep. Our dog enjoyed sunbathing in the garden or warming herself in the sun room. Beds were comfortable. We particularly loved our master suite. The village has a very welcoming pub with a small restaurant. The portion sizes were enormous! There is also a small but well stocked community shop. One of the houses nearby sells homemade jams and preserves and a couple of houses sell fresh eggs. A perfect place for our Cornish escape. Our only regret? That we didn’t book two weeks. Never mind, I’m sure we’ll be back soon!

- Tamara, September 2021
Carolyne September 2021

“What a fantastic place to stay - extremely well equipped, nothing has been forgotten.”

Higher Tumrose is a comfortably furnished home with quality furniture, some very lovely pieces and book cases to rival a library. The whole place was spotless and all topped off with views to die for plus we had super weather too. Our dogs loved the immaculate garden but one did take a leap of faith and had a fabulous time in the field opposite ;) ! A 10 minute stroll downhill brings you to the prettiest village around which has a shop and a welcoming pub serving very very generous portions of good food and an excellent selection of local ales. We will be back, and can only presume that the previous negative reviewer was staying at a different accommodation.

- Carolyne, September 2021
Julie September 2021

“Property is well placed for visiting the east and west coasts.”

Short walk to the village and pub does great food with plenty of outside seating. While the property is large with great sized rooms, apart from the bathrooms it needs some TLC and a good clean. Dirty windows, dust on the back of doors and towel rails, dirty sockets in the kitchen and doors need a good clean. I wouldn’t touch the drier and oven! This is the first property we have stayed in where we have felt uncomfortable with the cleanliness.

- Julie, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I have spoken to the owner regarding the cleanliness issues who will speak to the housekeeper. We have never had any issues of this nature before and there is a regular window cleaner. We are sorry that this impacted your stay on this occasion. Property Owner
Joanne June 2021

Delyth May 2021

“A super house with a lovely sunroom,sitting room and a well equipped kitchen .”

Loads of room for everybody . Beautiful peaceful location - great to be away from the crowds at the beach but easy access to both north and south . The house is located in a pretty village with a pub and community shop. Thoroughly recommended.

- Delyth, May 2021
Janet May 2021

P August 2020

“We were 2 families and the house was a great layout for us and a fantastic location.”

The only recommendation I would make is the white goods in the kitchen are quite old and need updating, especially the washing machine (the clothes smelt clean, but didn't necessarily look it!).

- P, August 2020
Jennie August 2020

“Fantastic property with breathtaking views.”

The master bedroom in particular has the most incredible views from the windows- amazing start to your day when you have a cup of tea staring out! Great space and has everything you could possibly need. We loved staying here and were so sad to leave. Gorgeous property, beautiful area and fantastic owners! Thank you! Highly recommend this property. Will def return!

This beautiful cottage is in a quiet part of Cornwall the views are spectacular and walking to Bodmin moor is on your doorstep owners are friendly facilities are very good only small niggle were the 10 steps to front door they are shallow and easier than I thought but if you have difficulty going up steps could be a problem they are slightly slippery at the sides if it’s wet I have arthritis in my knees and I managed to get up and down them there is a very handy hand rail to hang onto we enjoyed are stay very much would love to go back sometime

Leyla October 2019

“We specifically chose this house because of it’s location on the moor.”

It is beautifully situated and we walked everyday. It was so peaceful and relaxing and the house provides everything you need. It is well located to explore the many lovely parts of Cornwall but for us the moor itself was the main attraction. The village is idillic and has a lovely community shop and pub.

K August 2019

“On the photos it looks like a bungalow but it is built on the slope of a hill so there are quite few steps up to the front door.”

It would have been helpful to know this. I have rheumatoid arthritis and go through periods of ill health when steps would be a real problem to me. People with limited mobility need to be aware. Other than that this bungalow is really spacious and comfortable- we really enjoyed staying there.

- K, August 2019
Jane July 2019

“This cottage is fabulous , there is everything in it you could possibly need , its lovely and spacious with the most outstanding views .”

Peaceful and beautiful . The owner was on site in the evening to welcome us , not intrusive at all , we did not see them again except to wave to . We will definately be back . PS beautiful dog called Connie as well

- Jane, July 2019
David July 2019

“Our stay at Higher Tumrose was very nice and all the family including the dogs felt very welcome it’s in a lovely location and it was all in one level which was good.”

The only downside was it could have been cleaner as there was dust in places and cobwebs around.. the shower in the en-suite was not very good as it was slow, apart from those 2 things it is a very enjoyable cottage set in an amazing part of the countryside

- David, July 2019

We are glad that overall your holiday was wonderful. We are very sorry that you had a problem with cleanliness on this occasion. We have spoken with the owner who is liaising with her cleaner to ensure that there are no further issues in this regard. Historically the property has had a very good cleanliness rating so we are sorry that it fell short for you on this occasion. Glad that you had a great holiday. Property Owner
D June 2019

“The property exceeded our expectations.”

The house is all on one level & was amazing & plenty of room for 7 with 4 very good size bedrooms. This is a large property with plenty of space to all be together or have some time away to yourself if desired. Both of the showers were great, especially the main bathroom with the overhead large shower head. The main bathroom has a large bath with central taps too. The conservatory is much bigger than in pics & looks out on to views. The kitchen & main bedroom has the same views at the front of the property. The owners Sheila & Kim were lovely & there was milk & cookies awaiting us on arrival. My mother uses a wheelchair & so the front of the property access is not possible (but I wasn't aware of that from the Sykes site until I read the reviews), However, on reading the reviews I phoned the owner & she was extremely helpful & said there was access around the back of the property over the grass & we did not find this a problem at all, there is just a very slight bank & you can park car at the back access as well. (at the front there is also an old way in which is just 4 steps in between fir trees but this is not currently used but could be possibly in the future if the owners wanted to open up property for the disabled & put a lift in there). There is another review on here about slippy steps to the front of the property but these are made of granite & were not slippy in the slightest & not sure if granite can get slippy - I didn't think so, but all was good with both existing access ways to the property. The property views exceeded expectations & were amazing. Such a peaceful place with stunning views. There is everything you could possibly need at the property, very well equipped kitchen, hairdryer, iron, ironning board, laundry basket, washing line, pegs, bbq, even found a bucket & spade! in porch

- D, June 2019

Kay December 2018

“The cottage had many thoughtful touches and was very homely.”

The owners were very kind with arrangements for my 90 year old mother. Really beautiful views, very quiet and Blisland is a very friendly village. On a sunny day in December the sunroom was a really warm and a lovely place to sit. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed including another beautiful view. The heating system and wood burner were excellent although the double bedroom next to the living room could be cold at night. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and very well equipped. A beautiful setting on a nice farm. Wonderful, thank you!

- Kay, December 2018
Denys October 2018

“There is a set of stone steps up to the building that get a little slippery when it is wet.”

- Denys, October 2018
Katherine October 2018

“Very peaceful place with lovely views and just a short walk to a pretty village and up onto Bodmin Moor.”

Higher Tumrose is a very cozy, but spacious bungalow. The large lounge has the best wood burning stove I’ve ever used - so easy to light. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen. Everything worked although the appliances are a bit elderly (the microwave is small). The beds were very comfortable too. The downside; the main bathroom shower was little more than a dribble which meant queuing for the electric en-suite one. There are ten steps up to the front door and the paving is slippery when wet. Only a problem if you book the property, like us, with an elderly parent in mind. Bizarrely the sun lounge was a fly graveyard! This aside, Higher Tumrose was a great place to stay for exploring North Cornwall. We loved the pub too - great beer and really friendly.

- Katherine, October 2018
Michael September 2018

“We would like to thank the hosts Mr and Mrs Jensen for their kindness, friendship and hospitality.”

They were there if we needed them and yet left us alone to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the cottage. The views and the tranquility of the cottage made a perfect holiday for us. The cottage was warm and very comfortable well equipped. For us it made for a perfect time away to leave as far as we could the trials and tribulations of our normal lives behind us and just enjoy each others company in a wonderful setting. Please thank Mr and Mrs Jensen very much for allowing us to have the opportunity to stay at Higher Tumrose.

- Michael, September 2018

“Another week in a beautiful cottage with friendly owners.”

Found this wonderfully peaceful place last year & had to go back. If you are looking for somewhere to unwind this is it. Traditional village pub very close for good meals & a wonderful community run shop - please use it so locals don't lose it.

- Rosemary, June 2018
James April 2018

About the location

BLISLAND

Bodmin 5.7 miles; Wadebridge 8.4 miles; Polzeath 13.2 miles; Tintagel 13.8 miles; Padstow 16 miles; Fowey 17.2 miles.

Situated under the western edge of granite-bound Bodmin Moor, the village of Blisland retains its age old character and is the only village in Cornwall to have a village green with trees. Around the green, cluster old houses and cottages, as well as the famous, award-winning Blisland Inn. The village is located less than three miles from the A30, and so provides an ideal central location for touring Cornwall. Nearby, Poley’s Bridge marks the beginning of the Camel Trail, a 17-mile long route, which follows a long disused old steam engine railway line to Padstow. The route is completely traffic-free and perfect for walkers and cyclists. You can even explore the trail on horseback and a purpose-built hide has been constructed between Wadebridge and Padstow, so even birdwatchers are catered for! Pull on your walking boots and explore Bodmin Moor, or venture to the coast with your buckets and spades and enjoy a day on one of the many beautiful beaches that stretch along Cornwall’s northern coastline. A fabulous part of the country for all!

Note: Sorry, no short breaks
