The Experience

There have been dwellings at Botelet since Domesday with the Tamblyns being perfect custodians for the last 150 years; the sense of timelessness in this deep country setting is palpable. Feel your 21st-century worries drift away as you approach – thick grass in the middle of the lane, fecund hedgerows, lines of oak and the first sight of the farm overlooking a pristine valley.

The two cottages have been thoughtfully put together, carefully enhancing what was already there – low beams, old fireplaces, ancient flags. You’ll find the basics for cooking in the kitchens and your children will love the free-roaming chickens and having so many acres of car-free land to romp around in.

Wellbeing treatments here include massage and meditation and occasional retreats. If you must venture out in search of surf, sand and sea, Fowey and Polperro are close and the north coast is 35 minutes.

Reviews

Louisa

Cowslip cottage is a total haven and feels so homely. It's beautiful interior, cosy touches and location make it the perfect choice to get away. Tia's website is awesome, covering everything you could possibly need to know, leaving no stone un turned of the local area. Get booking! Thank you so much x

We really loved staying at Manor Cottage. It is the prettiest historical cottage and set in such beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Walking down to the stream in the rain to forage for wild garlic, or enjoying a glass of wine in the sunny evening garden surrounded by bluebells, or sitting cosy by the log burner with friends were highlights. Loved the chickens strolling around and waking to the sound of sheep and bird song. We made great trips to local beaches, fishing villages and gardens. The house is exactly like the pictures and well equipped for everything ...We really enjoyed our stay.

Tia was an amazing host and the cottage is just stunning ! We have had the privilege of staying in some fantastic airbnbs over the years however this one is my favourite - there really is something magical about the place. It’s like you’re stepping back in time and the world just stops for you to breathe! Absolute bliss and will make sure to return!


Justin, Tonbridge

A magical cottage tucked away in a quiet rural spot with beautiful sunset views. The cottage had a cosy wood burner and was really toasty. Beds were really comfortable and the cottage was very well equipped, especially the kitchen. A real retreat but close to some amazing beaches and coastal walks. The host Julie could not have been more helpful. We would highly recommend coming!


Thomas, The Hague

Manor Cottage is our favourite Cornish fairytale destination and has so much personal significance for us. There is nothing comparable to arriving at Manor Cottage with the wood burner glowing after a long journey. The interior is an extremely rare combination of taste and cosiness, and Tia, Julie and Richard are always the most wonderful hosts.


Location

The neighbourhood

You've 300 acres of fields, woodland, pretty streams and an iron age hill fort to explore here. Further afield you'll find wild moorland and coastal paths so walkers and children will be very happy here. If you must get in the car then Lostwithiel is a short drive.

Local points of interest from Tamblyn Family .

  • Book a therapeutic massage or wellbeing workshop in our cosy on-site therapy room - the perfect way to unwind after a busy day exploring.
  • Walk up to Bury Down hill fort at Botelet Farm, dating back to the iron age, the fort ramparts are a great spot for picnics and panoramic views. Step out across the 300 acres of rolling fields and deciduous woodlands.
  • Only six miles from the south coast - great for stepping out on the coast path and exploring Cornwall's quiet, hidden beaches. Lantic Bay is a local gem.
  • Fowey is one of our favourite coastal towns with pretty houses overlooking the estuary, some great cafes for families like Pinky Murphys, and restaurants such as Fitzroy.
  • Botelet is 25 minutes from the Eden Project, 30 minutes from the Lost Gardens of Heligan and 15 minutes from the National Trust's magnificent Lanydrock property - visit the historic house and gardens, enjoy the cycle trails, play park and woodland walks.
  • Kayak on the Fowey estuary, spotting wildlife in the peaceful tributaries as part of a small guided tour with local experts. Hire canoes, kayaks or SUPs if you prefer to go solo.

Introducing

Tamblyn Family .

The Tamblyn family have lived at Botelet for 150 years, welcoming guests since the 1930s, when Richard and Julie’s grandmother opened the farmhouse for B&B. Since the 1980s the current generation (Richard and wife Tia, their three young children, Richard’s sister Julie and their parents David and Barbara) have offered self-catering, B&B, yurting and wild meadow camping. They love being surrounded by nature and wildlife - as well soaking up cosmopolitan city life!
