Demelza Cottage

Tucked away on the edge of the idyllic village of Blisland close to Bodmin Moor, Demelza Cottage is a characterful one-bedroom retreat that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. This delightful hideaway is ideal for couples looking to unwind and explore the Cornish countryside.



Step into the inviting lounge, where original slate flooring, and a contemporary wood-burning stove create a warm and cosy atmosphere. A comfortable sofa, soft lighting, and tasteful coastal artwork add to the serene and stylish feel.



The adjoining kitchen is charmingly appointed with classic country charm. It’s fully equipped with a modern electric cooker, toaster, kettle, and ample cooking utensils – perfect for preparing a leisurely breakfast or a romantic dinner after a day out walking on the moor or exploring the Cornish coast.



Upstairs, the tranquil double bedroom boasts soft linens and a traditional wooden bed frame. The room is bathed in natural light from the window, which frames views of the surrounding countryside. Thoughtful touches like bedside lamps and botanical prints create a calming, restful space.



The cottage is ideally placed for walkers and cyclists on the Camel Trail, with the closest entry point at Tresarrett nearby. The nearest village is Blisland, complete with a traditional inn, village shop, post office, community café and ancient church all situated around a picturesque village green. The Church dedicated to St Protus and St Hyacinth was a favourite of Sir John Betjeman CBE, Poet Laureate. Walkers can make their way up onto nearby Bodmin Moor to explore sites such as Jubilee Rock, Alex Tor or Roughter.



Port Isaac is a beautiful town famed for the TV series Doc Martin. Padstow is also within easy reach, as are other great places to visit including the surfing beach at Polzeath, the shopping town of Wadebridge, the Eden Project, cycling trails at Cardinham Woods, and many fabulous other beaches such as Trebarwith Strand and Bedruthan Steps. The Grade II-listed property Pencarrow House offers a fun, dog-friendly day out, while the National Trust property Lanhydrock is also close by. The immersive historical attraction The Story of Emily and the Cornish hedge labyrinth Kerdroya are also within travelling distance.
