Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'immaculately clean' and 'spotlessly clean'. Only one minor note was made about spider webs, which is understandable in a countryside setting.
The location is frequently described as quiet, peaceful, and convenient for exploring Cornwall. Its proximity to local shops and attractions, along with the tranquil setting, is appreciated by guests.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with positive comments about the comfortable bed and quiet environment. However, a few guests mentioned issues with the sofa and mattress, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are considered high-quality, with mentions of a superb shower and well-equipped kitchen. There is a single complaint about kitchen space and dampness, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs.
Guests often mention the thoughtful gestures by the owners, such as welcome gifts of wine and essentials. While these are highly appreciated, it is noted that such gestures are at the owners' discretion and not guaranteed.
About this property
A delightful, stone-built barn conversion adjacent to the owner's home, on the edge of the rural village of Dobwalls, 3 miles from Liskeard. Well decorated and well furnished throughout, the property offers compact, yet very cosy and comfortable accommodation. There is a lovely double bedroom, a warm and welcoming living area with modern kitchen, sitting room and dining area and a small garden with delightful views across the fields and valley beyond, ideal for sitting out and relaxing. The property makes a superb base for a couple wishing to explore all that South and East Cornwall have to offer. The rural location is a haven for long country walks, while the charming fishing villages of Looe and Polperro and the wonderful south Cornish coast are within easy reach. With the Eden Project within 15 miles and the maritime city of Plymouth just an easy drive or train ride away, this is an ideal base for a relaxing break. Note: This Cornwall cottage can be booked with Ref. 1735 to sleep 4.
The rural village of Dobwalls is surrounded by open fields and wooded countryside, and is close to the market town of Liskeard, the slopes of Bodmin Moor and the glorious north and south Cornish coastlines. This is a perfect base for exploring the many delights the region has to offer, with the picturesque fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey and Polperro within 15 miles to the south whilst Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath lie a comfortable drive away on the North Coast. Take a trip to Siblyback Lake and enjoy the wonderful sailing, fishing and watersports on offer, or travel a little further and take advantage of the superb walking on Bodmin Moor. The Eden project lies within 15 miles and Plymouth is just a 30 minute drive, or 25 minute train ride from nearby Liskeard station. With the Barbican harbour district, renowned aquarium, and good selection of shops, restaurants and theatres, this is a great holiday base.

Only draw back the access lane. Being nearly 80 I found it a bit daunting as no real passing places.

A nice quiet location if you want some peace and quiet after exploring, 10min walk to the bus stop or short drive to Liskeard Station. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.
