Rowella Cottage

Tucked away on the edge of the idyllic village of Blisland close to Bodmin Moor, Rowella Cottage is a charming one-bedroom retreat that effortlessly combines rustic character with contemporary comfort. This idyllic hideaway is tailor-made for couples seeking a peaceful escape and a chance to explore the natural beauty of the Cornish countryside.



Step inside the welcoming lounge, where original wooden floors, and a sleek, modern wood-burning stove create an inviting and homely ambiance. A plush sofa, ambient lighting, and elegant coastal artwork enhance the space’s serene and stylish vibe.



The adjoining kitchen exudes charm with its country style. Fully equipped with a modern electric oven, toaster, kettle, and a comprehensive array of cookware, it’s ideal for rustling up anything from a lazy breakfast to a romantic supper after a day exploring the moor or the nearby coastline.



Downstairs, the tranquil double bedroom invites rest and relaxation, featuring soft linens, a traditional wooden bedframe, and whitewashed exposed beams that speak to the cottage’s historic character. Natural light pours in through the window, framing soothing views of the surrounding countryside. Thoughtful details—such as bedside lamps and delicate botanical prints—add a touch of comfort and charm.



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.
