Superbe vue sur la lande ininterrompue sur le lac et Rough Tor

Wonderful in every respect!!

Lovely, comfortable and well equipped cosy cottage in great rural setting. John and Wendy were always on hand if needed.

We stayed at Mabel’s Cottage for 3nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It fits the bill as a romantic get-away but is near to lots of things to see and do. I had forgotten just how beautiful Cornwall is with stunning scenery, fascinating history and plenty of small towns and villages to explore all offering the obligatory cream teas and Cornish pasties - and of course the sea with north and south coasts in easy reach.

The cottage is first class. Everything is as new and it is tastefully furnished and decorated. The views from the conservatory and the outdoor areas are wonderful and it is very relaxing to just sit in and relax. We had fantastic weather for end September and an almost full moon reflecting over the water. We recommend doing the outdoor fire. It was fun!

John and Wendy were always on hand when we needed them but invisible otherwise. They are the perfect hosts.

We weren’t very adventurous eating out, but we did visit Port Issac and Nathan Outlaw’s restaurants look worth a visit. We had an acceptable meal at The Mason’s Arms and the Peck’ish fish and chips were World Class. We also recommend Charlie’s at Tintagel for breakfast and the Port William at Trebawith Strand Beach.

Mabel’s Cottage is well equipped. I know John and Wendy will be reading this though and looking for any clues to improve their lovely holiday home so, here’s our added value, since we were celebrating - a couple of champagne flutes would have been good!

Well done J&W and keep up the good work. We will be back but without the S Class Merc which was most unsuitable for the Cornish lanes! We did manage, though it was a bit unnerving at times.

From the moment we arrived at Mabel's Cottage in Advent, Cornwall, we knew we had found someplace extra special. Wendy's warm welcome was so very appreciated after our rainy drive from London, she had a lovely Cornish cream tea waiting for us. The cottage is perfect for two; comfortable, spacious, with a modern kitchen and bath and very comfortable bed. The sunroom overlooking the reservoir, Roughtor and Bodmin Moor provides a stunning view that must be seen to be believed! We watched the sunrise and moonrise over the Tor every day of our stay, just incredibly beautiful! John and Wendy were lovely, as well, very helpful and determined that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They were happy to give suggestions on places to see during our visit, and we enjoyed John's stories about Bodmin Moor very much. We were given privacy, but they were only a knock-on-the-door away if we had any questions. Their love of their home is very evident; the grounds and fields around Mabel's Cottage are well kept, and full of birdsong. We got very little reading or other "work" done in our 5-day stay, as the calming beauty of this place made us truly relax and "catch our breath." It is a great spot to stay while exploring North Cornwall, very close to Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac, and dozens of other places, and it is only an hour or so to South Cornwall. We found ourselves returning earlier than planned after each day's outing, looking forward to relaxing the evening away at Mabel's Cottage! Our only regret was our stay was too short, and we truly hope we can return again one day. Thank you, John and Wendy, for making our first visit to Cornwall so wonderful!

Mabel’s Cottage is set in a lovely peaceful location, the cottage itself is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The view from the conservatory is stunning and leaves you feeling totally relaxed as you look out over the lake.

John and Wendy are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome, they have great knowledge of the local area and gave great advice on places to go and where to eat out.

The cream tea in the cottage on arrival was a lovely touch.

We had a fantastic time, in a lovely part of the world and would definitely go back.
