... ¼ mile from the centre of Blisland is a beautiful place described in Country Life as ‘near perfect’. A lovely listed 17th cent. manor house (the owners’ home, used in the making of films) and, in its grounds, a long barn imaginatively converted into three cottages called Tom, Dick and Harry. The cottages share lawns (tables/chairs, a barbecue for each cottage) on three sides - one walled, one large with granite-pillared swing and trees. Beyond them, park-like field with massive plane tree slopes to stream (tiddlers) with island. In all, 30 acres (sheep, cattle) for exploring: woods with unusual trees, the remains of a Victorian water garden, grotto and Celtic crosses (medieval pilgrims en route to Falmouth, ship and Santiago de Compostela stopped here). Masses of space. Barn available for parties and weddings - ask us for details. 100 yard drive leads from a lane to the cottages (which are completely hidden from it). Barn with washing machines and tumble driers (extra), freezer. Spring water. No pets between 23 July and 3 September.

The two smaller cottages are split-level.

Tom (white door on right in picture) has open-plan living (woodburner, CD player)/dining/fitted kitchen (microwave, gas cooker). Upstairs, two bedrooms with lovely valley views: double (5' bed), and twin; bathroom (suite plus bath-shower); and door to larger lawn. TV/DVD/video.
