View Property LocationShare PropertyView GalleryBOOK ONLINELose your self in nature and flee to this luxury moorland cottage nestled in the pretty hamlet of Rilla Mill in north Cornwall, where peace and tranquility promise only to be disturbed by the sweet melody of birdsong. Ensconced in nature, Elysian's pared-back rough-luxe style makes it an inspired dog friendly cottage on the Cornish moors.
Introduction
Hidden in a secluded pretty moorland village in Cornwall, Elysian sits on the fringe of Bodmin Moor between the ancient market towns of Launceston and Liskeard. The awe-inspiring moorland walks, evenings at the unique amphitheater and dinner at the local gastro inn will be the only things to tear you from the comfort of this luxury cottage with its rustic charm. Calming hues combine with nature-inspired artwork and curio to ensure Elysian is perfectly in-keeping with its rural surroundings.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Climb the stairs to reach the first floor where original blackened floorboards, white stone walls and low ceilings embrace Cornish cottage charm at its best. The bathroom has a fresh, vintage feel and the garden viewpoint means birdwatching is even possible from under the bubbles! The master room has a king-size bed with botanical headboard and deep feather duvet dressed in French linen, and the two double bedrooms are equally as sumptuous! Traditional hand-crafted windows let in the dawn chorus to coax you from dreamland in true fairytale fashion.
Outside
The pretty cottage garden just across the lane is fully enclosed and features a lawn bordered by fragrant beds and climbing rose trellis. The summerhouse provides a peaceful haven from which to observe the plethora of wildlife on the doorstep. Bodmin Moor's wild, rugged landscape is simply breath-taking. It's not uncommon to start a day’s adventure over the moorland to find never-ending panoramas of purple heather, highland cattle and grazing ponies.
For Relaxation
For ultimate peace and quiet, retreat up to the adjoining linhay - a real writer’s retreat designed to inspire one's inner creative. On balmy days, venture on foot from Elysian through woodland and past hidden caves and sparkling waterfalls to find a tranquil spot for a picnic. Enjoy an immersive and totally unique cultural experience at the open-air Moorland Theatre; located just 10 mins from the cottage. In winter, stock the shelves and cosy-up by the crackling fire with a large glass of burgundy. The warm Aga, soft sheepskins and vintage furnishings make this a home you won’t ever want to leave.
Practicalities
There is parking for up to three cars. The cottage includes an Aga, fridge freezer, washer dryer, dishwasher and microwave. The garden and courtyard are fully enclosed and safe for both pets and children. Please note that Elysian accommodates a maximum of four people, but these guests can use the third bedroom for an additional fee of £150.

Our Take
Property Owner Cathryn says
Approaching via winding country lanes, I felt as if I’d entered a children’s book and stumbled across a magical moorland cottage. With its wooden floorboards, wonky walls and a warm Aga with whistling kettle sat atop; Elysian is brimming with enchantment and provides a real haven for relaxation.

Venture into the old market towns of Launceston, Liskeard or Callington nearby to find some excellent family run butchers, bakers and green grocers. The white country Aga is perfect for a winter stew. Romantic candlelight dinners are perfectly suited to the dining area, while summertime barbecues can be enjoyed in the garden and afternoon teas in the linhay next door.

The Springer Spaniel near Launceston comes highly recommended, boasting a freshly prepared menu designed to tempt those looking for fine dining in a warm, rustic ambiance.
