Location

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!
Accommodation

Renovated in 2000 and refurbished in 2004 and 2007, the cottage will sleep up to six adults.

The accommodation comprises a newly fitted, modern kitchen/diner, with microwave, washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and full size cooker. The sitting room is large and comfortable and contains armchairs, a bed settee, TV, DVD and CD player. A small library is also provided with a selection of novels, children’s books, and board games.

The first floor provides a master bedroom with garden views and double bed and a second bedroom with rural views and twin beds. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and power shower above.

The cottage enjoys access to a large garden backing on to farmland, providing idyllic rural views and ample opportunities for rambling. BBQ and garden furniture are provided, together with boules, badminton and croquet equipment. In addition, visitors are welcome to use the two acre field neighboring the cottage.

We can arrange horse riding days (4 weeks notice) at Lanjeth Stables, and/or, a visit to the Court Observatory, both half a mile away. This astronomy facility has a 9.5” Newtonian Reflector telescope, and topical lectures relevant to the time of year are often given. For more information and pricing on these events, please ask at time of booking.
