About this property

Stunning uninterrupted moorland views over lake and Rough Tor

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.

Easy check in and out, 5 stars don't do it justice.

Absolutely stunning property, luxury accommodation, the most beautiful cottage we have ever stayed in! Incredible views, breathtaking, the peaceful atmosphere and uninterrupted views, just unbelievably fabulous! The cottage is first class, beautifully furnished, with everything you could possibly need. Wendy and John are the most lovely hosts, so welcoming, and were so helpful with so much local knowledge and helpful tips and advice.

Fantastic stay in Cornwall!

Could not have been better! Cream tea upon arrival. Great communication with hints/recommendations about local places to visit. So much to see locally, including a great hike up nearby Rough Tor. Lovely accommodation so well thought out and maintained. Owners great, too. We loved it!

Simply perfect

If you want to experience Cornwall in its most natural form, then you've come to the right place. Even the drive to the apartment is an experience. But the highlight is the view of the lake and the surrounding countryside. A magnificent view directly from the living room. Furthermore, the accommodation is tastefully furnished with great care and is very clean. The very friendly owners, Wendy and John, live right next door and are happy to help with any questions. Overall, a perfect accommodation, and one would give more than 5 stars. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Perfect Start To Married Life

The most wonderful experience!Wendy and John were the perfect hosts and made us so very welcome.Mabel's Cottage was a pure joy to stay in, it had absolutely everything you could possibly need so cosy and comfortable with nothing but birdsong and farm animals to listen to. So tranquil to sit outside of an evening and just gaze across the lake towards Rough Tor.Perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area.It gave us the perfect holiday after a full on few days previously with our wedding.Would 100% recommend and would definitely return in the future

A great stay!

This is a wonderful little place. Wendy and John are excellent hosts - John even let us feed their sheep. It's a little bit of an adventure down single track lanes to reach the property, but (as with much of Cornwall) the views are worth it. It's well placed for picturesque spots along the coast, as well as a walk up Rough Tor. The new sun room is beautiful and makes an ideal place to wind down, and in good weather the patio and garden space is lovely too. Thank you!

Perfect tranquility

This cottage is about as good as they get. Absolutely beautifully presented, very clean and comfortable. The ‘sun room’ was an amazing space to enjoy the views and the nature which surrounded us. All you can hear is birds and wildlife. The hosts, John and Wendy live in the farmhouse onsite, but you never see as they respectful and discrete. But if you do need assistance (as we did due to our car braking down and having no transport to return home) they went above and beyond what is expected, for which we are truly thankful. We would recommend this property to anyone who wishes to experience the peace and quiet it offers, and time to get away from life’s rat race! We hope to return in the near future.

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.
