Dog Friendly Bodmin Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The Smithy is in a lovely location with Bodmin Moor on the doorstep, so no need to get the car out, if you don't want too.

  The cottage was very comfortable, clean and warm with a log burner, if you want to use the fire, alternatively the central heating was more than adequate for the inclement weather we had on a couple of days, in the midst of winter. With having two active and inquisitive dogs, it was a relief to have a robust ,fenced in garden that was completely safe. There are some stunning views and sunsets from the conservatory. The amenities in the property were excellent, possibly one of the best holiday lettings we have stayed at. Blisland Village is about a mile away with a community shop and post office that sells good produce plus has a cafe. The church is a must to see and finally the Blisland Inn, does really good food and very friendly. Lastly, the owners of the Smithy live adjacent to the property and are very helpful and friendly. If you want peace, tranquility and a fab holiday stay, would highly recommend the Smithy

  Caroline called around on the Saturday to check everything was OK with us.

  There was everything in the cottage that we needed for our holiday. It was very clean and tidy and well kept. When we arrived on the Friday, there was milk, scones, jam and cream which was thoroughly enjoyed. It is nice to have fresh flowers in the cottage as well. The Smithy was ideal for us with bringing our golden retriever. It had a small enclosed garden and a conservatory. It was lovely having the dining table in the conservatory. We felt we were in the garden watching the butterflies on the buddhlia and swallows flying around and perching on the cables. There was a nice walk up the lane and onto the Moor by the Jubilee Stone. There were lovely views of the surrounding countryside from the Moor. We had a lovely holiday and visited The Eden Project and Wheal Coates at St. Agnes. Stunning scenery. Thank you Caroline for our lovely stay.

  Well located holiday accommodation for access to beautiful coast and country.

  Excellent village pub in Blisland serving really good food and good selection of beers (an easy walk from cottage). First impressions of The Bothy looked favourable but we found the quality of the furnishings, bedding etc were certainly not up to the standard of many cottages we've hired in the past. Little things like sharp kitchen knives and extra mugs would have helped! We also found it slightly unusual not to be welcomed by the owners next door at any point during our week or on our departure. Whilst most people, understandably, would like to be left to their own devices, I do feel it's important for owners to acknowledge your presence in their property at some point during the stay.

  The Cottage was of an exceptionally high standard of.

  ..finish...all quality facilities and utensils. It was warm and very comfortable...just like being home...wonderfully relaxing. John and Caroline made us most welcome and were nearby ..just in case. Nice touch of milk and bits...plus a lovely bottle to enjoy. Highly recommended....we would certainly return and could not fault our visit in anyway. The cottage is ideally placed for reaching an excellent range of places to visit. The lanes of Cornwall can be a little daunting...but well worth the effort. Many thanks for an excellent range of properties...this one was certainly well enjoyed. Kindest regards. John and Cheryl. Norfolk 14th December until the 21st.

  Really impressed.

  Cottage was spotlessly clean. Extremely well appointed - everything you could possibly need was there (and more). Large bedroom, very comfy bed and plenty of storage space. Bathroom also large and a good powerful shower. Kitchen area was excellent with large fridge freezer and including a dishwasher and washing machine. Living area very cosy - wish it had been a bit cooler so we could have used the log burner - all logs/kindling/firelighters were provided. Beautiful location and really quiet which made for peaceful evenings. Overall, a very chilled and relaxing week, and would definitely recommend.
