The
barns at Hockadays were built in the 17th century and were used
for farming purposes until 1986. They are situated at Tregenna,
an attractive hamlet of some six properties. The village of Blisland
is half a mile away.
Two
small cottages have been created each suitable couples. The cottages
combine comfort with all the original character of the building
including open beams, wooden lintels, small paned windows and
cottage doors.
The
cottages are similar in size with a sitting room, separate kitchen,
double bedroom and bathroom. Demelza cottage has the sitting room
and kitchen on the ground floor with the bedroom and bathroom
on the first floor. Rowella cottage is in reverse with the sitting
room and kitchen on the first floor, the entrance being through
the opening to the original hayloft.
|
 |
|
The
sitting rooms are furnished in cottage style and there are wall
lights, prints and a colour television. DemeIza cottage has loose
rugs over a polished slate floor and Rowella cottage has loose
rugs over a varnished wooden floor.
|
 |
|
| The
fitted kitchens are pleasant and convenient to use and fully in
character with the cottages. There is a full size cooker, microwave,
refrigerator, spin drier, kettle, toaster, ironing board and iron.
There is also a plentiful supply of cooking and serving utensils,
wine and spirit glasses, matching dinner and tea service, together
with stainless steel cutlery. |
|
|
Both
cottages have fitted carpeting in the bedroom and all bed linen
is supplied at no extra cost - cotton sheets and pillowcases -
and beds made up ready for your arrival.
The
bathroom has an efficient fan wall heater and a dual voltage shaver
point. The bath has an overhead shower and there is a thermostatically
controlled immersion heater for supplying hot water to the bathroom
and kitchen.
Heating
is by electric fan heaters and convector heaters with storage
heating available on request. All electricity except storage heating
is metered through a 50p coin meter.

Blisland
Blisland
village is one of the most picturesque in Cornwall. The village
green, the only one in the county, is flanked by Blisland Church
(mentioned in the writings of Sir John Betjemen) with its brilliantly
coloured Rood Screen and fine wagon roof. The award winning Blisland
Inn standing on the edge of the green, offers a variety of good
quality food. There is also a well stocked shop, internet cafe
and Post Office.
|
Being placed between the moor and the sea, Hockadays is well
situated for walking, day touring and visits to the beaches.
On remote Bodmin Moor and surrounding it are many charming villages
and hamlets such as Altarnun, Advent, St. Tudy (birthplace of
Captain Bligh of 'Bounty' fame), and Wenfordbridge. At Bolventor
is the well-known hostelry Jamaica Inn.

The North Cornwall coast is not far away. It is renowned for
its impressive cliffs and short steep valleys leading to sandy
coves and bays. There are excellent large sandy beaches at Trebarwith,
Polzeath and Daymer Bay and a particularly splendid beach at
Tregardock some three miles south of Tintagel. The coastal footpath
is protected by the National Trust over long stretches at Port
Isaac, Polzeath, Trebetherick and Tintagel. There are numerous
other attractive coastal hamlets and villages you may wish to
explore such as Port Quin, Port Gaverne, Padstow and Boscastle.

|
|
Visits can be made to Pencarrow, a large Georgian house still
privately owned, or Lanhydrock House, a 17th century manor house
owned by the National Trust. You may also wish to visit Tintagel
Castle, romantically associated with King Arthur and the Knights
of the Round Table.
|
|
|
Cornwall's rich heritage includes remains from the Neolithic,
Bronze and Iron Ages, early Christian Monuments, and remains
of the once great tin and copper mines.
The
Eden Project is within easy distance. The nearby Camel Trail
has replaced the old railway line as far as Padstow and provides
a quiet and scenic route for walking and cycling.
