Quinn Cottage at Hilltop, Starapark near Camelford is a one double bedroom self catering holiday let

28/10/2026

The latter part of this month and November is a month off for me and my family as we prepare for the very imminent arrival of my granddaughter and let me tell you, excited doesn’t come close.

Whilst I am still available for future bookings, replies maybe slower and the cottage is staying empty for friends and family to visit.

The 13-18th December is still available, but no obligation to book all of those nights. Treat yourself to a pre-Christmas break in rugged North Cornwall.

This is a bit of shameless advertising for my daughter here.
My daughter is, amongst other things, a very talented artist.
She has for sale these original prints from a recent art fair.
£15 + postage and packing.
Check out her page for other fantastic work she’s done.

If any of my guests should ever feel the need to immortalise their dogs by way of lovely art, she’s your girl. She will even do it during your stay!

13 -18th December
No minimum stay and no hidden fees….
£50 per night. That’s it!

Port Isaac is a two minute drive from there then Padstow just around the headland.
Lots of all year dog friendly beaches nearby. Great places to eat. Why wouldn’t you want to come!?

I had a booking from 3rd-17th December which has been cancelled.

If anyone would like to book in that period, even a few days, please let me know (I need the money 😭 and it’s a lot to lose as it’s my last booking until next year)

There are some lovely Christmas markets close by and the beaches are nice and quiet.

Double bedroom, sofa bed, ultra dog friendly. All breeds allowed, no extra or hidden charges, no maximum number of dogs. £50 per night.

I provide all linen and towels, dog bowls, drying towels and throws so no need to bring your own. Dogs allowed in all areas and on beds/sofa.

Nespresso coffee machine, oven, air fryer, microwave.

Bathroom with shower cubicle with fitted mobility assistance handles.

Secure, private garden with minimum 5 foot fencing and walls. (Only one short part is 5 foot and my escape cannot get out)

10/15 minute drive to Tintagel, Boscastle and Trebarwith. 20 minutes to Bude. 30 minutes to Padstow (amazing Christmas market)

Views of Roughtor and on the edge of Bodmin Moor.

Being dog friendly isn’t an advertising gimmick that should be used to increase bookings. In fact it’s manipulative and misleading if you’re not in fact dog friendly but dog tolerant.

Time and again I see people book “dog friendly” accommodation only to discover no dogs in bedrooms/on sofas/upstairs. That’s dog tolerance, not dog friendly.

I even saw one recently that said “no old dogs due to potential incontinence issues and no dogs under 12 months as too disruptive”. I’m not joking. 😭@

It’s a mindset for me. In fact it’s become my entire personality. It means that your dog is welcome everywhere you go, even the shower, if that’s what you want.
It means the sofa, the chair, the bed are for all to enjoy.
It means accidents inside are not an issue. I have a carpet cleaner. Floors wipe clean.
It means that I look at the cottage and garden like you would having a toddler around. Is it safe? Will it harm them? Are owners going to stress over things their dog/s might break?
If there’s a new hole in the garden when you leave, so be it. Mine will add at least 2 more in competition. I excel at filling them back in.
Sandy wet paws can be cleaned. I provide the towels. Sand on the floor can be vacuumed up. Wet dogs aren’t forever. Memories are.

Things are replaceable. Time with our families and dogs is not. It’s limited. It’s never promised. I found that out when I lost Quinn at 6.

Leave the worrying to me (trust me, I’m a professional) and you do the enjoying with whoever matters most in your life.

The cottage has been empty for almost 4 weeks now due to cancellations, which has felt very strange after a super busy summer. I won’t lie, I’ve seriously considered closing it down the last few weeks but a bit of time out and a chance to think means I’ll keep going for next year at least. Every small business owner will tell you the quiet times are scary when it’s your sole income and you live alone.
I did briefly consider become a st****er but I’m old and I can’t dance so this will have to do for now 🫢

However, it has given me a much needed break, the chance for the dogs to relax in a secure garden and me to do a bit of a reset and do some little jobs in the cottage. The weather is absolutely beautiful and I’m still in vest tops.

Added a bit of new artwork too and some Autumn colours in the lounge with new curtains and warm colours.
No job can be done here without 5 managers supervising the lone worker though 🙄 (sounds like an organisation I used to work for)
All bookings now will be for next year as November is now blocked off for family and recovery time.
