Welcome to Demelza Cottage
Country smallholding location, great views, peace and quiet
The perfect location for the active traveller
Demelza Cottage is a 19th-century farmhouse providing three different types of accommodation: bed and breakfast for one or two people; a self-catering apartment for up to four people; and a luxury shepherd's hut for one or two people. It is conveniently situated for the Saints Way, The Cornish Celtic Way, The South West Coast Path, and Bodmin Moor.
It offers peace and seclusion within the Cornish countryside with far-reaching views and a warm welcome from the host as well as all the lovely animals that live on the farmstay. We moved here in 2014 for the good life with the aim of being as self-sufficient as possible. We still have to work for a living, but the satisfaction of producing home-grown food is immeasurable. The B&B is where a lot of it comes together, with eggs from the ducks and chickens and homemade jams.
Central for tourist attractions
Close by, you can enjoy beaches and popular tourist attractions. Newquay, Padstow, The Eden Project, Bodmin Jail, and Bodmin Moor are all within easy reach. St Ives, Lands End, The Minack Theatre, Porthcurno, and St Michael's Mount are a little further, but all are easy to get to for a good day of exploring. Alternatively, use us as your mainland base before flying to the Isles of Scilly from Cornwall Airport Newquay, only 10 miles away.
Self-catering and B&B accommodation
You can be assured of a comfortable and welcoming stay at Demelza Cottage. Rated as Superhost and Guest Favourite on Airbnb, and Preferred Partner on Booking.com, we have worked hard to build our reputation for great hospitality.
It is the perfect base from which to explore all that Cornwall has to offer, and a relaxing space to get away from it all, unwind and de-stress. In fact, its secluded location has enticed a few household names who enjoy the feeling of privacy that Demelza offers.
Guests are welcome to meet our animals, feed the chickens and collect eggs, and we have plenty of suggestions on places to see and ways to get the most out of your visit. See our blog page and social media for top tips, and find out more about the surrounding area on our local area page, including what Demelza is famous for!
Business Travellers
For the business traveller, Demelza Cottage provides a warm welcome from the homogenised offer of hotel living. The apartment makes a good stopover for a team of tradespeople, while the B&B provides a hearty breakfast with homemade produce and quiet, off-road parking.
Whatever the reason for visiting, business or pleasure, be sure to immerse yourself in the full Cornish experience while you are here.
