Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of the cottage, noting how well-polished and clean everything is upon arrival.
The location is celebrated for its quietness and convenience for day trips, with easy access to local attractions and the A38. The rural setting and proximity to the countryside are highly valued, although the narrow access road is noted.
The cottage is described as comfortable and well-equipped, with a powerful shower and comfortable bed. Some guests mention low sofas and chairs, which may be a consideration for those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally praised, with the cottage being well-stocked and well-maintained. The presence of a DVD player and the provision of essential cleaning products are appreciated. However, there is a single mention of a DVD player issue, which was promptly resolved.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures of the hosts, such as providing milk and wine. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, while common, are at the discretion of the hosts and may vary.
About this property
A lovely, stone-built barn conversion adjacent to the owner's home, situated on the edge of the rural village of Dobwalls, 3 miles from Liskeard. The property is decorated and furnished to a good standard throughout and offers comfortable accommodation over one floor, including one double bedroom and a compact open plan living area with modern fitted kitchen and cosy sitting and dining areas. The property also offers a small outdoor seating area, perfect for sitting out and enjoying the wonderful views of the surrounding fields and valley beyond. This is a superb base for touring South and East Cornwall, with good countryside walks to be enjoyed along the surrounding lanes and on nearby Bodmin Moor. The charming fishing villages of Looe and Polperro are within easy reach and are well worth a visit, as is the wonderful south Cornish coastline. With the Eden project within 15 miles and the maritime city of Plymouth just an easy drive or train ride away, this is an ideal base for a relaxing break.

The rural village of Dobwalls is surrounded by open fields and wooded countryside, and is close to the market town of Liskeard, the slopes of Bodmin Moor and the glorious north and south Cornish coastlines. This is a perfect base for exploring the many delights the region has to offer, with the picturesque fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey and Polperro within 15 miles to the south whilst Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath lie a comfortable drive away on the North Coast. Take a trip to Siblyback Lake and enjoy the wonderful sailing, fishing and watersports on offer, or travel a little further and take advantage of the superb walking on Bodmin Moor. The Eden project lies within 15 miles and Plymouth is just a 30 minute drive, or 25 minute train ride from nearby Liskeard station.

On arrival a pint of milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine on the table! So clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the quietness at night and we were able to relax in our home from home! Visited by two beautiful cats each morning. Even though it was close to Dobwalls and a short journey to the A38 for our day trips, we were in the middle of the quiet countryside! Thank you Karen and Barry.
