“We had a wonderful time at Foxglove Cottage - proximity to the river was awesome and the owners created a wonderful serene environment which we enjoyed.”

The hot tub (with amazing views) was well used too. We were treated with the appearance of deers and rabbits few times whilst watching some amazing sunsets. Julie and Andy were incredibly helpful and did everything to make our stay a delight. Julie accepted our Tesco delivery and put away fridge/freezer items as we were delayed due to traffic and getting lost! The only negative to mention is we had problems with our devices and WiFi availability but we were in such a peaceful location, it didn’t matter in the end. Loved staying at the Cottage - excellent central location to the Eden Project and the coast.

“When we arrived we knew we'd made the right choice .”

The owners greeted us with such a warm welcome . The cottages is set in what I can only describe as idyllic. Views of fantastic greenery and what I'd call forest. A perfect setting you just relax instantly . The cottage is well equip with every thing you could possibly want ,no detail missed . Once settled a short walk down to the river that runs at the end of the property . The owners have put seats along the bank so relaxing to the sound of running water is just what was ordered . I have been to many self catering cottages but this by far is the best I have stayed in .

“Everything about this letting was wonderful.”

The cottage was spotless and very comfortable and the grounds were stunning with plenty of space and wildlife. The owners were just next door and were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely week. If I was pushed for anything negative it would just be the constant road noise from the A30 but even that was muted and we got used to it and it wasn’t a surprise as it’s easy to see on the map and it made for quick easy access to get out and about. All in all a wonderful place and would fully recommend .

- Karen, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your feedback back regarding the road noise is on our list, we are planning the planting of some heavy foliage hedging to run along the boundary of our front gardens to try and reduce this as much as possible. Thank you once again, Andy and Julie Property Owner

“Foxglove Cottage is an excellent pristine holiday home.”

The grounds are beautiful, with trees and lawned areas as well as roses, and yes foxgloves. Nearby, about 100 metres away, is the Rover Fowey, providing a photo opportunity. A well kept hot tub is well suited to a family of 6. The house is well equipped with shower/bath and a second shower. The accomodation is flexible with twin beds capable of conversion to a zipped king or super-king. Our hosts Andy and Julie were very friendly, but unobtrusive.

“Recently returned from a very pleasant week at foxglove cottage.”

This was our 2nd stay at foxglove having visited before in 2022. We have stayed at a large number of holiday cottages throughout the u.k but this is the first time we have returned to one and hope to return again. We found everything perfect to our needs. Would definitely recommend foxglove cottage if you’re visiting Cornwall.

“Excellent property, Everything about it was to our tastes and wants.”

Unfortunately we had a stomach bug and could not enjoy everything to its fullest extent, Andy and Julie did everything they could to try and help us and make us feel welcome. We will definitely be returning minus a stomach bug sometime hopefully!

Stephen September 2022

“Spotlessly clean and well provided cottage in central Cornwall, near Bodmin.”

The owners live on the same site and are welcoming and approachable. The Camel Trail, about 10 mins by car, is good for walks and the Flory Restaurant in Bodmin serves excellent meals. Further afield at the farm shops at St Kew and Boscastle are excellent lunches using local produce. They do get busy though.

- Stephen, September 2022
Stevie-jean August 2022

“What a fantastic stay we've just had.”

The cottage and surroundings were absolutely beautiful, everything was to such a high standard and we had everything we needed, we couldn't have wished for a nicer place for our first holiday as a new blended family of 6. The location is ideal and nothing is more than a 30 minute maximum drive away. Would 100 recommend and stay again. Thank you so much we had the best time. x

“We ended up being 3 ladies instead of 4, as I came down with CV last minute.”

I was very disappointed to miss seeing my lady friends. I have just checked with the 3 ladies that went, and they LOVED it. They have said they could not fault anything. They said I must give the highest rating I can, and it would still not be enough. Thank you so much for making their stay so special. We had missed seeing each other for a long time, and now we are planning a new trip, so that I can see the girls. Thank you so very much.

“What an amazing stay we had at foxglove cottage, the cottage had everything we needed and the extra little touches were so thoughtful.”

The cottage has been completed to a very high standard and was very clean, every morning Andy would come round to check on the hot tub to ensure everything was safe to use. Although the weather was cold and wet we used the hot tub everyday. Andy and Julie were amazing, very helpful and friendly and they have created the perfect getaway. We would love to come back soon and stay here again.

- Robert, January 2022
William December 2021

“Andy and Julie have provided amazing accommodation, nothing has been to much trouble.”

The accommodation is immaculately presented and represents excellent value for money. Foxglove is perfect for getting away from it all and enjoying the peace and quiet. The log burner is amazing for the cosy nights in.

- William, December 2021

Ben November 2021

“Property and hosts combined were amazing.”

Greeted us as we arrived and looked after the hot tub every morning for daily use whilst staying at the Foxglove Cottage. Could not have asked for a better property and location for our stay. Andy and Julie added the extra special touch to our stay and would happily book again with themselves.

- Ben, November 2021
Constance October 2021

“The cottage perfectly suited our family of myself, my daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren.”

The children loved the big garden with swings and trampoline which the owner generously shared with us, and especially the hot tub which they used every day and often twice a day! The cottage is newly renovated and beautifully furnished, nothing missing for our convenience and comfort, (except a dryer, and when we mentioned it, the owners produced a drying rack within hours and an actual dryer in a building close by) Wonderful, helpful, friendly hosts! Also close to Port Isaac, scene of the TV show Doc Martin, the Eden Project (40 minutes) and many beautiful walks.

- Constance, October 2021
Marion October 2021

“Andy & Julie were there to meet us when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay.”

The cottage was immaculate and renovated tastefully, creating a cosy atmosphere. We lit the log burner twice, it was an added bonus. Set in beautiful surroundings and within easy travelling distance of both coasts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

- Marion, October 2021

“We did find it difficult to find the cottage due to signage being small.”

- Susan, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The owner has addressed this issue by updating the directions and adding a larger landmark so its easier to locate the property. Property Owner
Paul August 2021

“We enjoyed the perfect family holiday staying at Foxglove Cottage.”

The accommodation is an immaculate renovation, set in beautiful gardens with the space for our four boys to run, play and explore. It's an idyllic spot, surrounded by woodland and a shallow river running along the back of the property perfect for paddling. It's also a great location from which to explore the rest of Cornwall. Equidistant from both the northern and southern Cornish coastlines, we made very easy day trips to Padstow, Polzeath and Tintagel in the north and Porthleven in the south. Andy and Julie were perfect hosts, hugely welcoming, we were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived and they were on hand for anything we needed. Their hospitality was a big part of making our whole trip such a great experience. We could not recommend this holiday more highly, we had a wonderful two weeks and our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

- Paul, August 2021
Joanne August 2021

“We returned from foxglove cottage yesterday and we had a lovely week staying here.”

The cottage is fabulous and has everything you need and more to have a relaxing and peaceful holiday. The cottage is in a beautiful spot and is surrounded by large gardens where we enjoyed the sun and the kids played games. The outside furniture is in a perfect spot to catch the evening sun. The cottage itself is perfect. Newly decorated and the photos on the site do not do it justice and we were amazed when we arrived to see how beautiful it actually is. I would definitely recommend staying here. The cottage is situated in a great location and has supermarkets nearby and not far from many places to visit. The owners are on hand if you need them too and were really welcoming. We did not need anything when we were there but I know they would have been happy to help if we had needed them. Thank you for a wonderful week. We would love to go back !!!

Mike July 2021

“We had a fabulous stay at foxglove cottage, Andy and Julie were fabulous hosts, and we really enjoyed getting to know them.”

They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is lovely and was nice and clean on our arrival. And there's lots to see and do around the area. Looking forward to come back one day. Mike and Miriam

Sophie July 2021

“We all really enjoyed our stay at Foxglove Cottage.”

It is located in a beautiful setting, surrounded by trees, rabbits, birds and cows! There is also a stream at the back of the property that you can access easily - our kids loved paddling there almost as much as playing with the trampoline, swings, and Max the cat! The owners were brilliant, hugely welcoming and cottage exceeded expectations (the pictures online don’t do it justice!). It has been recently renovated - it was spotless and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay and all the fittings and furnishings were new and clean. The addition of stair gates and plastic crockery for the young guests was such a helpful detail. We will definitely be back!
