What our customers say about their holidays

  The only issue regarding the facilities is that there is only one off-road car parking, although there is street parking close-by.

  We were aware of this before booking. I cannot recall if the information provided prior to arrival indicates that the front third of a building is in fact a private dwelling. We had a plumbing crisis during our stay involving water over-flowing from the main bathroom shower, passing through the bunkroom light fitting en-route to the floor below. A combination of luck and quick-thinking on our party gave us time to remove the soft furnishings and place buckets, so no long term damage. The person occupying the bunkroom for four nights had to sleep the last two on a mattress in the lounge. The owner responded well to the issue and appeared to have resolved it the following morning. Unfortunately there was a minor overflow the next day from the same shower. We reported this and we assume it was dealt with, but received no feedback. We did not use the shower again. Apart from this, we were impressed with the cleanliness, comfort and facilities of this cottage.

  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.

  No there was a couple of issues when we first arrived but the owner and his colleague sorted these was were very attentive to our needs. The setting is delightful, it is so peaceful and the lack of ambient light allowed for spectacular star shows at night, the wildlife which we saw was lovely, the hot tub and the isolation was just want we needed as we both have stressful jobs. A great place with a local pub which was a little expensive but to be honest the food w as great. The St Kew farm shop looks like it is part of the golf club but we had the best cream tea and like a lot of places now it is dog friendly. Thanks for a great holiday and welcome.
