Botelet

My wife and I stayed at Botelet Farm for four nights in September (also six nights in October). Both of our times there were in the Manor Cottage. The cottage has ample facilities for up to 5 people. The kitchen is well equipped and the clothes washer is a real plus. The location, in the eastern part of Cornwall, is ideal for exploring both Cornwall and Devon. The Tamblyn family, owners of the Botelet Farm, live on site and are very committed to helping visitors during their stay.

Botelet truly is a magical, unpretentious yet still-stylish place in a secluded spot far from the stresses of life - but not far from all the lovely de-stresses Cornwall has to offer (beach and country walks, great eateries, beautiful authentic villages). There’s much to do at the farm too, with massages for us and yoga and art and egg collecting for the kids, and the Tamblyns too are charm personified. We didn’t want to leave our cosy bubble and have pre-booked our return visit next Easter holiday before too many people get in on the secret! A magical bolt hole in every respect.

Everytime we have stayed at Hollow Park we have always experienced a lovely warm welcome, with the little touches that make all the difference. Botelet is a very special place in a beautiful setting and it's always a pleasure to spend time there. There are some gorgeous walks right on your doorstep which we have enjoyed. On our last visit I also had a wonderful massage with Tia which really was truly relaxing. We have always left feeling rested and revived.

Our stay at Manor cottage was wonderful... we arrived to a warm cosy cottage with the wood-burner on and afternoon tea laid out on the table for us. The owners have a great sense of style and there are lots of lovely touches (I loved the fairy lights over our bed for cosy evenings and up-to-date magazines in the living room which I never buy for myself so was a real treat to curl up on the sofa and have a leaf through.) Botelet is set in rolling hills and patchwork fields, a beautiful spot. Night skies are crammed with stars, buckets of fresh air, wonderful walks. A very special place indeed.

We're about to return to Botelet for our 3rd stay at Manor Cottage which says it all. The place is beautiful - rustic, cosy, stylish and tranquil and the owners are utterly charming. We love visiting Cornwall in the Winter and along with our two children have come to regard Botelet as our home away from home. We found out about it on a Sawdays newsletter and feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled across it!
