About this property

Mabel's Cottage offers a delightful rural retreat located on the edge of the moors and yet is only a few miles from the beautiful North Cornish coastline. The well known Port Isaac, Tintagel and Boscastle are all close by, along with the beautiful beach at Trebarwith Strand, and wonderful walks such as the Camel trail and St Necten's Glen to name but a few!
Climb the Tor, meet the local sheep, cows, chickens and ponies, listen to the birdsong. We have swallows nesting in the summer and the famous starling murmurations fly overhead twice a day from mid October until early spring. A real sight to behold.

Dream location, holiday apartment with winter garden

The holiday apartment is beautifully located - but a little out of the way. You definitely need a car. The cottage is tastefully and fully equipped. Everything you need is there and it was very clean. Wendy welcomed us with homemade scones and flowers we picked ourselves. John and Wendy let you use their beautiful garden for the duration of your stay, including the terrace with a view of the lake. The winter garden is a beautiful additional room. Wendy and John are extremely friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go there again because I really liked the area. I discovered a new "place to be" for myself there.

Fantastic location

Perfect for two people, cottage finished to a high standard and very clean. Location is amazing, private with fantastic unspoilt views from the conservatory, which we were informed is being extended for next year. Lots of places to visit and eat out within easy reach should you want to, or just stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet and relax. We would definitely stay here again, thank you John & Wendy for our week.

Geweldig uitzicht vanaf stilste plek ooit

Mabel's Cottage, vernoemd naar een van de kippen van eigenaars John en Wendy, is een heerlijke plek voor wie rust, stilte en ruimte zoekt. Het uitzicht op de Rough Tor is in het echt nog veel mooier dan de foto's kunnen laten zien. Je kunt er naartoe lopen en via de andere kant van het meertje weer terug, maar dat is verder dan je denkt, doordat een nieuwe buurman zijn hele terrein met hekken en (heel on-Engels) KEEP OUT- borden heeft omzoomd. Op het terrasje aan de rand van de tuin waan je je haast in een filmdecor, zo fraai. Maar ook het kleine terrasje bij de openslaande deuren van de serre is een heerlijke plek, vooral als er wat wind staat. Wij hadden veel geluk met het weer en hebben elke dag mooie wandelingen gemaakt in de omgeving. Ook een deel van het South West Coast Path, dat we de week ervoor door de regen hadden gemist, hebben we alsnog kunnen lopen. Je hebt wel absoluut eigen vervoer nodig hier. En een niet al te brede auto, want de toegangswegen zijn spannend smal. Het huisje zelf is gezellig en comfortabel ingericht en groot genoeg voor twee. De keuken is ruim en werd voor onze komst volgens mij nog amper gebruikt. De oven was nog helemaal nieuw. Er staat een fijne cream tea op je te wachten in de koelkast, maar verder zijn koffie, thee, peper en zout de enige basics. Handig om daar rekening mee te houden als je van plan bent zelf te koken. John en Wendy zijn supervriendelijk en gunnen je je privacy. Al met al hebben we hier een heerlijke week gehad.

Sehr schönes Cottage in idyllischer Lage

Wir haben die Tage in Mabels Cottage sehr genossen. Bei regnerischem Wetter konnte man es sich hier gemütlich machen und die Ruhe genießen. Sobald es trocken war, lockten Wanderungen im direkten Umfeld und Ausflüge an die nahegelegende Küste. Wendy und John sind äußertst freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber!

Wonderful house at a wonderful place

Das Haus liegt tatsächlich wunderschön oberhalb des Stannon Lake gelegen mit Sicht auf den Rough Tor. Zusammen mit dem Haus der Vermieter ist das ein sehr schönes, sehr liebevoll gestaltetes Anwesen. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, alles ist in erstklassigem Zustand. Wendy und John wohnen im Haupthaus und sind superfreundliche Gastgeber. Wir lieben es einsam, und einsam ist es dort; ein Auto macht absolut Sinn. Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen, wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit (auch wenn das Wetter nicht so doll war...)

Romantische Oase mit wunderbarer Aussicht

Wir haben 10 wunderbare Tage hier verbracht. Die Lage ist entzückend, das Cottage ist unterhalb des Haupgebäude von Wendy und John, und hat einen eigenen Parkplatz. Das Haus ist sehr sauber, hochwertig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wenn es mal kälter ist, ist eine komfortable Heizung vorhanden. Die Aussicht im Wintergarten auf das Moor und den See ist wunderbar und beruhigend. Wir haben uns sogar auf die Regentage gefreut, um es mit einem guten Buch zu geniesen. An den schönen Tagen haben wir Küstenwanderungen zwischen Boscastle und St. Ives gemacht, die Küste ist traumhaft zum Wandern, entspannen und Essen. Das war sicher nicht unser letzter Besuch in Cornwall, und wir würden auch das Cottage jederzeit wieder buchen.

We had a wonderful stay at Mabel’s cottage. John and Wendy were great hosts, very easy check in and then left us to enjoy our stay, but we’re on hand if we needed it. The cottage is really comfortable with amazing outdoor space and views over the tor. We only wish we had stayed longer. We will be back!

The perfect base for exploring North Cornwall

We had a lovely stay here. Wendy and John were very welcoming, and greeted us on arrival to show us around. The cottage itself is wonderful; thoughtfully decorated throughout with lots of luxurious little touches, and all the amenities you could need. The conservatory is a lovely place to admire the view when the weather inevitably takes a turn. Wadebridge, Padstow, Port Isaac etc. Are all in easy reach. We'd highly recommend the place to any couple looking for a peaceful break, and expect we'll be back ourselves before too long

Absolutly romantic

A very special place to be in Cornwall. We loved the tasteful furnished cottage and most of all the Wintergarden. Nothing than view is between you and the Bodminmoor. No house, no men - only the cattle, the Rough Tor and the lake, smoking in the morningmist. To sit in the cosy Wintergarden, reading "Jamaika Inn" wrote by Daphne Du Maurier, wich is playing in the Bodmin Moor and on Rough Tor was wonderful. Walking in the Evenings and mornings in the Moor around we enjoyed so much. Great Thanks to our very kind hosts, that we could experience that. Sandra and Anna Blume

About the host

Hosted by John and Wendy

Why they chose this property

From the minute we saw this 150 year old converted barn we fell in love with it. We really do have the best of both worlds.. from the stunning views over Roughtor, lake and moorland, to the close proximity of the rugged north Cornish coastline with its quaint fishing villages and wonderful surfing beaches.
If it is a peaceful and quiet retreat you are looking for then Mabel's Cottage is the place to be.
We love it here and hope you will too.
