We ask that cottages are vacated by 9.30am on departure days.  If you plan to leave early, we would be grateful if you can let us know so we can make arrangements with housekeeping.  Prior to departing, we would be grateful if you can ensure rubbish and recycling has been moved to the bin store.

Mobile phone signal
We are located in a beautifiul rural location on Bodmin Moor, which does mean mobile signal can be low.  Some networks can be picked up in some cottages, but most guests find they need to be at the top of the site near the main entrance to get a mobile signal.  Most guests quite enjoy this, being able to really get a way from it all!

Newspapers and Post Office
Daily papers and a Post Office is available from Blisland Shop.

Our main car park is down the slope to your right as you enter the site.  If you are a blue disabled badge holder, you can park in our disabled parking on the left as you enter the site, if you wish.  Cars are unable to get outside any of the cottages. 

You can unload from either the car park, or if you prefer, you can pull up to the wooden barrier in front of you as you enter the site for unloading/dropping off etc.  There are two luggage trolleys which you will see in front of you if you are at the wooden barrier.  Please move your vehicle back to the car park as soon as possible after unloading/loading.
