“Hi I loved the cottage overall, however the only negatives are the TV is far too small and dated, not being a smart tv you can’t stream to it or watch catch up etc, the internet is unprotected!”

The sofas are too old and so low, with my bad back and my wife’s bad knee, once in, we needed our son to pull us up! Your caretakers are lovely and so helpful. I would stay here again, especially as my brother in law and sister in law moved to Blisland 2 weeks ago.

“We had a lovely stay in Harry and would happily come to stay again.”

The Barn was clean, comfortable and welcoming, and the grounds were beautiful and great for a morning walk with our Labrador, Fred. The pub was just a 5-minute walk away and the staff were lovely and friendly. The location was very convenient for travelling to the numerous beaches and places of interest. We would definitely recommend this Barn and the other 2 Barns on site to other people, and we are already thinking of coming back in 2025.

“I love Tom, Dick and Harry cottages.”

I think my family (or my extended family) have all stayed in at least one of the cottages over the years. This was our 3rd stay at Harry and as always, we loved it. It’s beautiful and spacious, offering plenty of space in the open floor plan to spread out and relax. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have access to a lovely back lawn with pretty border gardens and outdoor seating. Blisland is a picture book perfect little village with its popular pub, leafy village green, beautiful church and wonderful little grocery that has the essentials. We will continue to return to this beautiful spot.

Shaun May 2024

“Stunning property in beautiful setting, house was well maintained, estate managers and owner were both welcoming and informative.”

Perfect base to visit Cornwall and experience a slice of history. Will definitely use as Cornwall base again.

- Shaun, May 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Harry has been completely refurbished in the last couple of years, including new kitchen appliances. Next time you should visit the Victorian water garden which we are restoring with its grotto, secret tunnel and wildlife pond. Property Owner
Dawn May 2024

“Absolutely lovely place to stay, near to Tintagel Castle, Jamaica Inn, Bodmin Moor, Padstow, Looe, Truro, Harry’s cottage was a delight to stay in good communication, about your upcoming stay, lovely and clean lovely views, with a pub in walking distance, what is there not to like.”

Would definitely recommend.

Chris April 2024

“The property was excellent, and fitted our needs perfectly.”

Very comfortable and we made good use of the log burner due to the cold weather. Very minor point, the crockery was a little lacking, ie no cereal bowls,also could possibly do with more wine and drinks glasses. Overall we had a great few days here.

- Chris, April 2024

Glad you had a good visit, and thank you for your comments. Harry has been completely refurbished in the last couple of years. We will add more cereal bowls and check the number of glasses. Property Owner
Joanne March 2024

“Despite the weather we had a lovely stay in Harry.”

3rd time so familiar with everything. Already booked again for next year. Missed Clare the housekeeper this time. Didnt get to meet new people but no issues so we were able to have the place totally to ourselves for the week. Didnt even need to share the laundry as we had the cottage next door!

Belinda September 2023

“We've stayed at Harry at least five times, and every year it gets better and better, with new features added for the comfort of visitors.”

Our group was aged from 34 to 84 and we all had a very happy time in Harry. It's such a comfortable, clean and welcoming place to stay and at the end of a busy day exploring the area it was always a joy to get 'home'. Blisland lives up to its name. Leaving Harry was a wrench, but I know we'll be back.

Marion June 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Harry and will happily return to stay at one of the three cottages in the future.”

Perfectly situated for a very quiet, peaceful holiday. The only sounds were sheep bleating and birds singing - utter bliss! Harry was very clean and comfortable and provided just what we needed. The caretakers, Fiona and Steve, were most friendly and helpful. We fell in love with Blisland itself, a truly unspoilt English village. The pub was very welcoming and does a delicious home cooked Sunday lunch and the local shop and cafe was well stocked and provided a great coffee after a local walk. The only constructive criticism would be that there should be at least one tray in the kitchen so that food and drink can be safely carried downstairs in Harry and out to the table in the back garden. Also the extractor fans did not seem to be working in the bathrooms despite locating the power switches? Perhaps there was a reason for this? Overall it was a wonderful holiday in a lovely cottage.

- Marion, June 2023

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay and that you were comfortable. Harry has been fully refurbished, including new new kitchen equipment. Not quite sure where tray has gone, but we will replace. We already have a plan to upgrade the ventilation system, but it involves lifting floorboards upstairs, which we may not be able to do until later in the year. Property Owner

“Gorgeous and spacious.”

...would definitely go back.

Belinda October 2022

“We stayed at Harry two or three times several years ago and were so pleased to be able to do so again this year.”

And we were really impressed by the improvements that have been made to the sleeping quarters and bathrooms - the whole building is really first class. (Huge apologies for not removing the bed linen before we left - we were in a rush but I'm so sorry and hadn't read your reminder email!).

- Belinda, October 2022

“Most excellent stay at this fabulous cottage”

William August 2022

“Really lovely cottage.”

Much enjoyed our second visit. Whilst the coast was lovely but chaotic and very busy, Harry was a lovely quiet retreat!

- William, August 2022
Joanne April 2022

“Loved staying in Harry again.”

Clare was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. Brilliant location, gorgeous cottage, great holiday!

- Joanne, April 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Harry has been fully refurbished, including new appliances, so is even more comfortable. Visitors also now get our special insiders tips for north and central Cornwall. Property Owner

“Lovely accommodation in a quiet peaceful location.”

Friendly host , helpful and accommodating. Central location for exploring both coasts.

- Martin, July 2021
Joanne May 2021

“Loved the cottage and garden.”

Location was perfect although the cornish country lanes arent for the feint hearted! Clare the caretaker was really helpful and on arrival we had a beautiful batch of scones with jam and clotted cream. Will definitely look to booking again.

- Joanne, May 2021
Heather April 2021

“Lovely relaxing weekend in beautiful Harry.”

Gorgeous barn, light and spacious upstairs. Cosy and comfortable downstairs. Really lovely grounds to explore and easy walks into the village. Clare the housekeeper couldn't be more friendly and informative. Maybe take a tray with you, just for transporting drinks/plates downstairs for alfresco times!

- Heather, April 2021
Lara October 2020

“The holiday was absolutely brilliant, and just what I needed.”

The cottage, Harry, was wonderful and provided a perfect place to relax after days out exploring. Cottage had everything we could need, and I will certainly be looking at coming back.

- Lara, October 2020
Natalie September 2020

“The hosts are lovely, helpful and genuine people, the venue is beautiful and the grounds are peaceful and safe.”

There were even places we could let the dog off safely to run around, it suited our needs so well. We didn't want to leave.

- Natalie, September 2020
Amy August 2020

- Justine, July 2020
Gemma July 2020

“It was a lovely peaceful location and the accommodation was very relaxing and had everything you needed.”

The staff were very friendly and easy to approach. The swing and green space the children loved. Easy to reach beaches to the north and south so great location to explore and near by forests to walk around.

- Gemma, July 2020
Anna August 2019

“Beautiful location, lovely friendly people.”

Would definitely stay again.

- Anna, August 2019
Rachael December 2018

“Lovely comfortable cottage.”

Stunning location. Large main bedroom and sitting room. Plenty of crockery and glasses. New oven to be installed this year as current not sufficient.

- Rachael, December 2018

Many thanks for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Harry. We're pleased to say that the large living area has recently been renovated and looks better than ever. The kitchen has been fitted with a wide Smeg oven. Property Owner

The property

¼ mile from the centre of Blisland is a beautiful place described by Country Life as 'near perfect'.

A lovely listed 17th century manor house (the owners' home, used in the making of films) and, in its grounds, a long barn converted into three cottages called Tom, Dick and Harry.

One-hundred yard drive leads from a lane to the cottages (which are completely hidden from it).

The cottages share lawns (tables/chairs, barbecue for each cottage) on three sides - one walled, one large with granite-pillared swing and trees.

Beyond them, park-like field with massive plane tree slopes to stream (tiddlers) with island.

In all, 30 acres (sheep, cattle) for exploring: woods with unusual trees, remains of a Victorian water garden, grotto and Celtic crosses (medieval pilgrims en route to Falmouth, ship and Santiago de Compostela stopped here).

Masses of space.

Newly restored barn available for parties and weddings, a spectacular space with well-equipped kitchen (caterers can be recommended) - please ask us for details.

Coach house with washing machines, tumble driers, freezer.

Spring water.

Arrival after 4pm.

One well-behaved dog welcome, for a second dog please enquire.

No pets between 20 July and 31 August.

Each cottage has its own distinct character.

All relaxed, charming and well situated for exploring north and south Cornish coasts Harry, the largest and end cottage is 'upside down' and split-level with long open-plan living/dining/kitchen upstairs - 42' x 17' with high ceiling to the apex, ancient exposed timbers, kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, freezer, larder fridge, gas cooker) at one end, the rest a living/dining area with huge fireplace (woodburner), piano, TV/DVD, door to large lawn, and big end window looking across fields and valley to woods beyond.

Downstairs (stairgate), three bedrooms - a double (5' bed) with en suite bathroom (suite plus hand-shower), a twin (limited clothes-hanging space), and a room with 3' bunks, single bed (footboards) and French windows; shower-room and separate loo; slated hall to door to walled garden.

The great upstairs room won a commendation from the Cornish Buildings Group. Blisland: attractive village (old cottages, good pub, PO/shop/internet café, medieval church) around a green in wooded farmland below the western edge of Bodmin Moor.

Nearby, the River Camel (trout/salmon fishing and Camel Trail cycleway).

The sea at Port Isaac, 9 miles, or Polzeath (sand/surf beach) and Rock (watersports), 12.

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: No pets between 20th July and 31st August.
