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.

Perfect for two people, cottage finished to a high standard and very clean. Location is amazing, private with fantastic unspoilt views from the conservatory, which we were informed is being extended for next year.
Lots of places to visit and eat out within easy reach should you want to, or just stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet and relax.
We would definitely stay here again, thank you John & Wendy for our week.

Wonderful location with great views exactly as described.
Great cottage, very comfortable with everything provided that was needed.
Lovely owners who welcomed us personally, provided a cream tea on arrival and then lit the fire pit for us to sit outside one evening.
We would love to return!
What a thoroughly delightful place to stay. The cottage has excellent facilities and is in a beautiful and relaxing area.
John and Wendy were fab hosts, we would certainly visit again!
Comfortable, excellent location and well equipped. Warm reception from kind, considerate owners, altogether a relaxing, joyful stay and one we'd like to repeat.
Mabel's Cottage is a lovely stone cottage just right for two.With stunning views (when you can see it through the rain!!! Typical bank holiday weather.) Plenty of free entertainment from the birds at the bird feeder.
Thank you John and Wendy for a great short stay.
The property is lovingly decorated and set up, with everything you could need to have a relaxed getaway from the world for a few days! The hosts are delightfully friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be back again!
Super holiday home for two set in a stunning location. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Owners on site very informative and made you feel very welcome.
We had a wonderful stay at Mabel’s cottage. John and Wendy were great hosts, very easy check in and then left us to enjoy our stay, but we’re on hand if we needed it. The cottage is really comfortable with amazing outdoor space and views over the tor. We only wish we had stayed longer. We will be back!
We loved Mabel’s Cottage, beautifully set up with amazing views towards Rough Tor. Add to this the welcome by John and Wendy and you have the perfect spot to do as much or as little as you wish.

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.
