Fantastic Cornish Countryside Retreat

This location, property and careful attention to key amenities made for a fabulous weekend exploring Cornwall. We made trips to Bodmin Jail, Tintagel Castle and Land’s End from here. Wadebridge is 10 mins away, but this spot is beautifully secluded and very well appointed. The farm animals on the property will be an attraction on their own to some families. 3 different size units available, all sharing a beautiful courtyard. The hosts are wonderful as well!!

Wonderful cottage

We had a great stay for 1 week and I hope we could have stayed longer! Very, very comfortable and cozy house owned by lovely couple and nice children. Our kids were happy to feed the animal at the farm! Everything is very clean and the whole cottage is great quality! Thank you very much!

eine Woche in Cornwall

Wir haben unsere Woche in Bodnieves Mill sehr genossen. Das Häuschen liegt sehr ländlich und ist deshalb absolut ruhig und zur Entspannung gut geeignet. Die Gastgeber sind angenehm und freundlich. Sie haben das Cottage liebevoll und komfortabel eingerichtet. Besonders gefreut hat uns das bereitgestellte Futter für die Tiere auf dem Hof. Das Füttern der Tiere nach unseren Ausflügen war für uns immer eine große Freude.

Completely perfect

We spent a lot of time researching and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The kids said the beds were very comfy and they loved the dvds and games. Perfectly located for the places we wanted to visit. Loved the home made scones and enjoyed feeding the animals. Will definitely be coming back, the perfect holiday for us :)

Perfect family stay!!

We stayed for a few nights in early June. The cottage was outstanding! It was in a perfect location (once you get used to the back roads). It was clean, full of everything you need for a family stay. We used the bbq and the kitchen it was perfect. Our little one particularly loved going to feed the donkeys and goats and he was happy on his bike around the cottage. It was quite difficult to locate the cottage at first, maybe a ‘what three words’ location might be good for future :). Thank you for having us, we enjoyed every minute and would certainly return.

Great Cottage - Central for North and South Coasts

Really great stay - a very quiet area - no traffic noise, but within 30mins of the north and south Cornwall coasts. Also about an hour from Lands End. Try star-gazing outside on a clear night! The property itself was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is kitted out fine for cooking meals. In summer you can sit outside with a south-facing view and have a BBQ. In cooler days you have central heating and a wood-burning stove to keep you warm. Comfortable beds. Bath/shower rooms all fine, slightly on the small side, but no real problem for us - it is a cottage after all! Overall, well recommended!

Quiet Countryside Oasis

This property is an absolute gem with an amazing family of hosts. We were so warmly received, and the property itself is set on a magnificent farm in the middle of rustic utopian Cornwall. The cottage is clean and simple and comfortable with everything you need for a quiet retreat. The location was perfect for day trips to some of the regions most beautiful sites. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful stay at Welsummer

Thank you to Charmion for the lovely welcome. Really appreciated the milk, homemade scones, jam and cream which were very well received. Barn stay was immaculate and had all the amenities that we needed for our stay. Very enjoyable holiday, ideal location to explore Cornwall.

Fantastic Stay, Fantastic Cottage

We have just had the most fantastic two weeks at the cottage. Such a good location for exploring a bit further afield as nothing is much more than 30 mins (except the far west of Cornwall). We have 3 young children, the cottage catered for them really well. The donkeys and goats on site were enjoyed. It’s so peaceful and quiet and really comfortable. The WiFi isn’t brilliant and we had no signal but apart from when we were trying to get Google maps up we enjoyed being quite disconnected for our holiday. The roads approaching the cottage aren’t for the nervous but you get used to them quite quickly and it didn’t phase us at all. Overall a brilliant holiday and our children were so upset we had to leave! Thank you!!!

Fabulous place 🙂

What an absolutely fabulous place. Welsummer cottage was beautiful, so clean, well equipped, homely , & comfortable- everything we could have wished for! Bosneives Mill is in a lovely location , but not far from anywhere. Being able to feed the donkeys & goats was a lovely thing to do and Donk & Ponk are adorable. Charmion ( the owner) was very friendly & welcoming , We cant wait to visit again 🙂

A very pleasant stay

Attention to detail is paramount for us and the guys obviously want to give their guests their full attention and to. The cottage was very well appointed and we wanted for nothing. Although the roads are narrow there is very little traffic so getting about is very easy. There is a lot to do in the area from national trust properties beaches and of course Rick stein in padstow. We will be back thank you

Perfect country retreat

Our little stay in the cottage was perfect, exactly what we needed. It was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and so peaceful. Idyllic sums it up perfectly. Fresh made scones on arrival were exactly what we needed after a 5hr drive and so delicious. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, loved seeing the animals on their farm too. Just an all round perfect escape from daily life and we loved every second of our stay. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful getaway location

We were so impressed with this charming barn conversion. Charmion and Charles have done this property to a wonderful standard, and we found it clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay (including some delicious homemade scones with jam and cream). The location is brilliant, in short driving distance from towns such as Wadebridge, Padstow and Rock. Would highly recommend and hope to return for another stay some day.
