Blaise
Cottage is set within the grounds of Hendra Lodge, and is one of
the old barns that make up the 17th Century farmstead of Hendra.
Situated in the heart of Cornwall in a peaceful and quiet location,
the cottage is an idyllic detached retreat offering comfortable
and quality accommodation.

Our
location in the middle of the County means we are within easy reach
of all that Cornwall has to offer. The stunning Eden Project, the
famous Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Trewithen Estate are all
within 7 miles. The historic port of Charlestown, home of several
old square-sail ships, and the celebrated fishing villages of Mevagissey
and Fowey are close by. The City of Truro, with its beautiful Cathedral
and granite paved streets is only 15 minutes drive.
Both
the North coast, with its rugged coastline and wide sweeping sandy
beaches; and the smaller coves and harbours of the Roseland Peninsula
to the south are just 12 miles away. The nearest beach, at Pentewan,
is 4 miles distant. Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, Lands End and The Lizard
can all be reached in just over 1 hour.
Blaise
Cottage itself locates approximately 5 minutes drive from St. Austell,
and 10 minutes from the main A30 at Fraddon. The quaint villages
of Sticker and Polgooth, one and a half and 3 miles distant, contain
two of the best village inns in the area and local stores.
|
| The
myriad of pretty country lanes surrounding the farmstead of Hendra
makes Blaise Cottage the ideal place for those who enjoy walking,
jogging or cycling. For wildlife enthusiasts, badgers, foxes and hares
are often visible, together with many species of birds including falcons,
buzzards, tawny and barn owls which can be seen frequently at dusk
hunting in our fields. Cows and horses, of course, come as standard
in the surrounding fields here! |
