"The cottage is way up there with
the best we've stayed in. Cornwall never disappoints!"
"Couldn't think of a better place
for a family holiday and look forward to many more visits".
"Second visit to The Old Cottage,
great place to stay, great location. Hope to return soon".
"Hope to return again one day,
thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage".
The Old Cottage is a 17th century Grade II listed building, brimming
with character features, including exposed beams, Cornish slate
floors, a range cooker and a wood burner.
The property was originally built as three separate
"one-up, one-down" stone and slate craftsmen's cottages, and, until
recent restoration, had been abandoned for over fifty years.
This sleeping beauty was lovingly brought back
to life, using authentic techniques and traditional materials.
The completed restoration is a stunning success,
retaining all the historic character of the original building, whilst
adding modern comforts such as central heating, power showers and
a dishwasher. The result is a charming, warm, comfortable, home-away-from-home
that will appeal to families, couples, and groups of friends alike.
All downstairs rooms have Cornish slate floors.
Upstairs rooms are fully carpeted. There is oil-fired central heating
throughout.

Cornwall has retained all the charm of the past
with its inspiring landscape of moorland, rugged cliffs with hidden
coves and picture box villages nestling in the valleys.

Wadebridge lies at the heart of the Camel Trail,
a level, safe off-road walking and cycling route running along the
course of the former Bodmin to Padstow railway.

free attraction with parking and access from several points.
Bike hire is available from Wadebridge.
