A beautiful cottage with green, well kept garden, easily accessible parking, and a nice view in a really calm, relaxed area.I especially recommend the forest walk which starts from the parking place (see description in the booklet in the cottage).

Just had a fantastic week at Lower Colvannick. Carol has put a lot of thought into what she has provided and I can honestly say that we didn’t want for anything. The house was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Beds again were very comfortable which is so important. If you like to walk, straight out the gate you are into the forest followed by the open moor beyond. For a great pub as recommended by Carol the Blisland Inn is a classic English pub serving excellent food. All in all a fantastic stay.
