Snuggledown

A lovely cottage in super quiet peaceful surroundings. Great for local walks. Very well furnished and adapted. Light and airy ambience. Great to sit outside in garden. Owner very helpful.

We loved our time at snuggledown! We got engaged during our stay and the owner gave us some wine which was lovely. The sofas were super comfy which is great after a long day. The drive to the cottage itsself is very tight but we didn't mind. Would recommend snuggledown to others. ...

If you are precious about your car, and it is quite large, the mile long drive down to the cottage is exceedingly narrow and rubbed down both sides of our car. It didn’t damage it but sounded like might.

Cottage is comfortable and the owner (Verna) is very friendly. The garden is well kept & could be shared with customers of the owner’s larger cottage behind Snuggledown. Although, areas are enclosed from the fields, there is a gate to the owners’ that is mainly open that dogs can get into the lane/roads. Verna offered to close it when our dog escaped but all visitors (gardeners etc) leave it open: it was only closed once our stay so we used a long line lead to keep our dog safe. The car parking is in the garden for both rental properties. We hadn’t fully understood that the route to the cottage would be such a difficult drive along high hedgerow, one car width roads. Both sides of our car was subjected to grazing. Verna did tell us about a ‘slightly’ wider road in & out to the cottage on arrival. The isolation of the cottage has advantages of peacefulness but DO take main provisions for arrival as although the cottage had tea, coffee, biscuits & bottle of wine…We had overlooked milk so had to head back through the tight lane/road to find a shop in Blazey. Not much there but the garage had milk! Ask Verna for secateurs if you take the gate through to the woods as it’s very overgrown & difficult to access the wonderful aqua duct - woods via this stretch. We had great weather so managed to dry washing on the outside line but with only one bottom bed sheet & one set of towels supplied, it could be difficult to launder & be in use in one day, in poor weather. However, I’m sure Verna , who lives in the same grounds as Snuggledown, would be able to give you further bedding if you ask. There is a brush & hoover supplied but nothing to clean/wash the floor. If you take a dog, you’ll have to ensure paws are washed & dried outside. There is an odd/random cream sofa placed in the corner of the room where the photos show the dining table. We assume the room furniture has been updated as the grey sofa & chair are not shown in the photos. Wardrobe space is in the door entrance area opposite the bathroom: no hanging space in the bedroom. We enjoyed our week at the cottage but the drive to & from it to explore the area was off- putting. Highly recommend the woodland walk by the aqua duct: turn left from snuggledown and follow the road to the car park and walk left or access via the overgrown lane at the side of the cottage via a gate. ...

A very quiet peaceful rural location, but accessible to many interesting Cornish towns and places of interest. A cosy and comfortable place to stay.
