Bluebell Down Farm

Lovey location and cosy lounge, but dirty and in need of maintenance and a deep clean. We arrived to a vase of dead flowers and dead flies over the window sills. We contacted Aspects and the house keeper came quickly and provided some additional cleaning. The cottage needs more than a superficial clean though. Not up to the usually high standards we expect from Aspects.

I won’t leave a review as I know you won’t publish it .

A wonderful stay at Bluebll Down Farm, soaking up the very special atmosphere of this wild, ancient landscape. We spent a lot of time just relaxing here, walking and exploring the footpaths and the wonderful Iron Age hillfort, ?Chûn Castle. With just a 15-minute or so walk down to Morvah, it was lovely also to be so close to the sea and the coast path - and Morvah Schoolhouse gallery and cafe. Some people have mentioned the tricky access track, but OK if navigated slowly and with care (we had a Ford Fiesta).

Bluebell down farm was lovely to stay in if you like to be away from all the hustle and bustle is about 20 mins away from st.ives.The sea views were great on a clear day and loved seeing all the wildlife around us.Loved that it had parking for 2 cars and excepted 3 dogs.Beds were comfy.Was warm on colder days.Could do with 2 showers had only had 1.Cleanliness was a bit to be desired.All equipment was there what you needed.Was very spacious.All in all had a great stay.

We had a lovely weekend at Bluebell Down Farm. It is beautifully decorated, cosy and had everything we needed. The owners were kind enough to allow us to arrive a little early before it got dark and they had left heating & lights on and a cream tea as well as put up Christmas decorations - so kind - thank you.

The views from the cottage across to the sea are stunning. The cottage is ideal for dogs as there is a lawned garden (this isn’t completely enclosed so you do need to keep an eye.) There is also access to fields behind the house which is perfect for a quick run round. We love this area of Cornwall and hope to return again soon.

Bluebell Down Farm is gorgeous. The property is comfortable and fully equipped. It is within good distances for most of south west Cornwall. It is very rural and on a farm with livestock, so may not be for those wanting close local amenities or having poor canine recall, but if you want relative isolation (there is a close neighbour) and comfort the property is ideal. Excellent service from the agent/owner over a small, now resolved problem. Cannot recommend highly enough, it was exactly what I was looking for and I'm very likely to book again. Not suitable for low slung vehicles or timid drivers. Advise you arrive in daylight.

We loved everything about our stay at Bluebell Down Farm. The location was perfect for us, lovely and isolated with sea views and a beautiful garden. It was beautifully furnished and had lovely touches such as soft, luxurious towels and crisp cotton linen. There was an abundance of walks from the doorstep, as well as stunning coastal walks and sandy beaches a close distance away. We plan to return.

Really cosy property in a good location. It’s close to lots of good beaches and walks and is nice and quiet. I would recommend if you have an SUV / 4x4 as the road up is only really suitable for this type of vehicle.

I will wait for your/owner response before I leave feedback. I want you to have the opportunity to address my concerns first

We stayed 4/7/2023
Obviously read all reviews and went with an open mind .
Can honestly say we loved our stay at the property . Expect rugged and window seats with views down to sea .
We took our dog Delilah for her first holiday and she loved all the walks around .
Saw so much wildlife in our 10 days stay foxes , rabbits in abundance
Property is well equipped and owners thoughtfully left torch . Beds very comfortable
Our Qashqai negotiated the rough track .
Probably not for elderly infirm or very young children due to steps outside back door and unevenness .
Would go back without hesitation .

Overall a good holiday, Bluebell Farm is quaint and pretty with good views on a clear day, however we wouldn't return due to a few issues, mainly cleanliness and some TLC needed to improve the experience.

We have just spent a relaxing Christmas holiday at Bluebell Down Farm. The cottage is set in a beautiful rural location with sea views , yet is only 10 to 15 mins in the car from Penzance. The cottage is spacious well equipped and was very warm and inviting.
We enjoyed walks on local dog friendly beaches including Portheras Cove which really is a hidden gem.
This is the third time we have used Aspects holidays and it will not be the last.
Thank you for excellent communication and customer service.

We liked the ambience of the cottage, enjoyed the stove (and the presence of logs of course), the library and the cosiness of every single room.
Scones, towels, cleaning supplies: everything at hand. that made our arrival after 2000km (we live at Lake Garda) very easy & comfortable.
Nice area to be discovered by car or even within walking distance.
“Thank you” to the whole team of aspect holidays, you did a perfect job!

Very nice cottage, but a little remote. Ideal if you enjoy walking

We had a really wonderful stay at Bluebell Down Farm. The location is beautiful looking out across farmland to the sea.
The accommodation was lovely and very well equipped. Nice touch to have lots of DVDs, books and board games to choose from.
The bed was very comfy!
Beautiful beaches near by and St Ives in easy reach.
We were a little concerned by some reviews which said road access was tricky unless you had a 4x4. This really isn’t the case! It was absolutely fine unless you have a crazy low car. No problem at all.
When we arrived two lightbulbs were out but we were very impressed by how quickly a handyman came out and rectified it. Communication from Aspects was fantastic.
As a family with a toddler (crawling) Aspects had said we could fit a stair gate. However the stairs are very narrow and our stair gate didn’t fit. We made do.
We’ll definitely come again but maybe not for a few years when our little boy is bigger and so the lack of stair gate etc isn’t a problem.

Best accommodation I have stayed West Penwith. We loved the home comforts, the books, guitar, games etc. location is fantastic - apart from the farm track, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again. The views are the best in the area, and Portheras is magnificent. Only grumble was having to deal with an issue with the water supply - an alarm was going off for a part that needed replacing, and according to the display had been beeping for 26days. We had to accommodate the engineers visit at a time that was bit inconvenient. These things happen, but we were suprised not to hear from either the owners or the agency to ask if everything was ok.

I do not wish to leave a review

A beautiful holiday home full of character. Very well presented with comfy beds, luxurious bathrooms and a wonderful kitchen. The welcome pack is super and board games are provided, as are books.
Would recommend for an older family with a four wheel drive car.

Bluebell Down Cottage is the perfect getaway in West Penwith. A beautifully renovated old cowshed with views down to the sea. Plenty of walks direct from the cottage, up the hill to Chun Quoit or down to the beach at Portheras Cove.
Sitting out in the evening with a glass of wine and just the rabbits and foxes for company was a joy.
It feels remote but in reality you are never more than 20 minutes from civilisation. Will definitely be back.

Bluebell Down Farm is a lovely place to stay. The location is super. So peaceful and the views are just stunning. We took a walk to the secret beach which is amazing and just 50 minutes each way. If you want a break away from the stresses of modern life Bluebell Down Farm is perfect !

A beautiful property overlooking the sea with the sounds of birds and cows for company. If you want a getaway from it holiday, this is the place to be.
Lots of walks from the doorstep and a stunning sandy, dog friendly cove nearby.
An amazing place!

Bluebell Down Farm is a delight - it's location is amazing. If you're tired of the masses of people thronging St Ives or other similar locations, then try the Zennor/St Just coast. Comfortable dog friendly cottage with great walks on the moors behind. There's a large window looking out over the sea that's perfect for a glass of wine and a rest. Just be aware that the track up to the cottage requires a more rugged vehicle (don't bring your Porsche!) and there isn't an enclosed garden. Our dog loved it as there was no-one else to bother and he could roam around.

Lovely peaceful location off the beaten track but not so far from towns/villages as to be properly remote.
Perfect spaniel friendly location with loads of great walks both inland and coastal.

All in all a great place to relax and unwind. A robust car a benefit to get to the Barn.

Beautiful views, what a fabulous place to stay. Plenty of walks to enjoy, the secret beach is well worth the trek. We’re already planning our next stay.

Without doubt the most peaceful setting you could wish for and as for the beds… i have never felt so comfortable and rested on 25 years of travelling. Highly recommend this cottage.

We had a great second stay at Bluebell Cottage, very cosy and ideally located in the wilds of the remote far West. Would stay again.

Had such a lovely stay at bluebell down farm. The cottage is stunning and in a beautiful remote location with views of the sea and countryside. Just a short drive to some fabulous beaches and to St ives, Mousehole and Marazion. Loved it!

It’s a lovely cottage set in a pretty location. Very peaceful and relaxing. The down side of the accommodation was the how clean it was. Considering we’re in a global pandemic and cleaning should be key. We felt that this cottage really needed a thorough clean. The bath was full of dust and bits, the top of the radiators had hair, dust and muck in them, the cutlery drawers had bits of food and dust in them. Walls had cobwebs on them. It’s a shame as it could be a beautiful property if it was cleaned better.
If you considering bring any child under the age of 4 just be aware there is an open stair case going down stairs from the main living area. The cottage do not include a stair gate unless you hire one which I think it pretty silly when a child’s safety is at risk. They also don’t include a high chair unless you hire one. All extra cost that really should be included.
Over all we enjoyed our stay it was just a few things that could be easily resolved.

Just spent a week at Bluebell Down Farm at the end of October - myself, my wife and out flat-coated retriever Fiver Lovely location, tucked away from it all but close enough to all the delights West Cornwall has to offer. Cottage very comfortable and well furnished. Weather very kind to us. Sea and the waves were amazing - storm/wave watching in Sennen and Portcurno, tackling the waves at Praa, finding our way to the secret beach near the cottage and marvelling at the location/atmosphere at the Minack Theatre were a few of our daily adventures. Took advantage of the log burner most evenings making the cottage warm and cosy especially welcome after our daily battering from the waves. Most people say 'we hope to go back' but we can say 'we will be going back' as we've booked for 2021 already!

Quiet and secluded location in the beautiful countryside of Cornwall. Fantastic walks all around the property too. Cottage was spacious with a really cosy feel to it. Loved the week we spent there

Bluebell Down Farm is in a great location ideal for coastal walks either from the doorstep or just a short drive. Penzance was approximately 15 minutes drive away and a lovely coastal drive took you to St. Ives in around half an hour. The farmhouse offers cozy, rustic and very comfortable accommodation with good facilities.
During the current Covid situation we felt very relaxed and comfortable would definitely like to return.

Lovely isolated cottage, ideal if you want to really get away from it all.
The drive is very bumpy - we had a 4X4 but even so it was a bit precarious!
Nearest shop is the Spar at Pendeen which also, helpfully, sells logs and kindling.
Be sure to make the effort to walk up (15 mins) to Carne Castle and the burial chamber behind the cottage - very impressive.
A longer (40 mins) walk (cross country footpath by the farm) takes you to the almost deserted, and stunning beach below Morvah (Penberth Cove). Alternatively park at Pendeen Lighthouse or the farm car park for a shorter walk).
Good and very safe restaurant at Gurnard’s Head. (Need to book)

A lovely setting with beautiful views. Comfy beds and a homely feel. A nice big kitchen with all the mod cons you would need. A central location means all the beaches and main tourist attractions are within a short driving distance. Highly recommended.

Remote location with superb views.
The property was very clean.
We would definitely return.

We had a lovely short break in February and found the cottage very comfortable and perfect for our needs. It is very private and quiet and ideal for a relaxing break with lots of books, games and DVDs to borrow. Even the dogs are catered for. The bedrooms are lovely and the beds extremely comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Had a fantastic time celebrating the new year, great location, beautiful cottage .

Just returned from a long weekend at Bluebell Down Farm with our little boy (2) and two dogs. Such a lovely cottage in a great location & very private. The cottage was a perfect size and would work really well for two couples. The garden was a great size for the dogs too! It is down a long lane but we knew that from the description- which was very accurate. Good WiFi but no phone signal which was perfect for a quiet time away from work! Great walks around the area and a short drive from some amazing beaches and views!
Overall, we were really happy with the property and are planning to return next year. Also a lovely added detail with the Christmas decorations! Very cosy and comfortable, thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bluebell Down Farm. The location was perfect (only 15 mins to St Ives) and the views from the cottage were stunning. The open fire was lovely and although it was cold outside, this cottage was so cosy. Lots of games and lovely touches throughout the cottage too. We are already planning our trip back here next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Bluebell Down Farm Cottage. The property has been beautifully renovated, is well equipped and provides an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall. The views are amazing and it is very peaceful. I would very much recommend this property as a holiday let. It is worth noting that the road/track to the property is currently rather bumpy and there is also a shepherd's hut in front of the building which is also available for rental.

Had a pleasant short break in this quirky cottage in early September with good weather, so were able to enjoy views and walks in fields. A good bolt hole for a few days, may not be so enjoyable if weather isn't good.

We (family of 4 plus our dog) stayed here during August. We were delighted with the cottage and found it to be a charming and cosy cottage with all the contemporary comforts. Idyllic location set back from the stunning coastal road.
We would definitely recommend and are likely to stay here again when we revisit the area.
