Cornwall stay
Fern cottage is a lovely little cottage. It’s let down by not being cleaned throughly. The cottage stank of dogs wee, the mop was disgusting and unfit to use. The kitchen work surfaces could do with being oiled as they are wooden and due for a good clean. Upstairs was clean, beds and bedding clean and fresh. However both bathrooms were not so I had to give them a good clean myself. Fern cottage could be really lovely with a competent cleaner and a lick of paint in the kitchen. Despite all this we did enjoy our stay, Fern cottage is ideally situated for lots of interesting places and I’m sure once these things are addressed we would like to return at some point.

Camelford comfy cottage
Had a lovely week staying in this unique stone cottage just outside Camelford. Great base for exploring many of Cornwalls popular towns and villages. Also close to Bodmin Moor, where a walk up Roughtor is a must! Camelford had an excellent pub and chip shop as well as a Spar and Co-op for essentials!

About the host

Hosted by Julia Cottrell

Host profile image
Hi I'm Julia! Welcome to Fern Cottage! I live in a village in Nottinghamshire with my husband Tony, children Nu & Harry and nicely rounded tabby cat called Star! We love living here - only problem is that we are as far away from the sea as you can get in the UK!
The wild beauty of Cornwall gets into the soul. She calls like a Siren and for many years my extended family has holidayed here to the beaches at Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven to dig mysterious holes, explore rock pools, catch comical crabs, and body board the foaming waves - oh and eat ice cream and pasties.
I love adventure and every visit we find something new. So where better to have a cottage?

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a cottage for us - one we'd love to rent as a family. We saw many....in the rain! As soon as we stepped inside Fern Cottage we fell in love! It is a real gem! It's a bit like the Tardis (a time travelling machine for the unitiated!) Light and airy and surprisingly spacious! Recently and sympathetically extended it is very modern in decor yet timeless at the same time!

Set in the tiny hamlet of Tregoodwell near Camelford and Tintagel on the edge of Bodmin Moor, 5 miles from the sea, it is not a million miles from anywhere, but just far enough for a civilised walk to take place! Out of the house and right at the post box takes you on a journey along a lane which passes fields carved out of mysterious and magical Bodmin Moor to Rough Tor - Cornwall's highest point!

What makes this property unique

At Fern Cottage life is made simple! WiFi is free and a takeaway curry or fish and chips are possible without a round trip of 20 miles (It’s a 1 mile round trip!). Run out of Calpol? Easy! The Co-op in Camelford is open until 10pm! Want to go to a pub without driving? Stroll into Camelford! Best of all if you place an online order,Tesco, Asda or Waitrose will deliver your groceries to the door!

Getting around Cornwall is also incredibly easy from Fern Cottage because of its proximity to the A39 - Cornwall's Atlantic Highway! Whether it's a trip to Rick Stein's at Padstow, or a visit to the famous Eden Project you are well placed at Fern Cottage. And if the sun fails to shine well why not go for a beautiful walk through the ancient woodland which runs past our lane?
