The holiday cottages are tucked away within the extensive grounds of the impressive Georgian manor house dating back to the early 19th century. Mature oak, beech and chestnut shelter the magnificent Magnolia and Rhododendron trees, luscious camellia and dazzling azalea along the shaded crisscross woodland paths. The well-established gardens and borders are full of seasonal colour to feast the eye, while the open grass areas invite to a picnic or a ball game. Take the short walk to picturesque Lostwithiel, an ancient stannary town on the meandering Fowey River. It is the popular Antiques Capital of Cornwall with many quirky gift and craft shops as well as a regular farmers’ market. Refreshments are readily available from several excellent local restaurants, pubs, cafes and take aways.
The riverside park is perfect for a summer stroll, with the river the home of trout, salmon and sea bass. The breath-taking Luxulyan Valley, with visual reminders of mining long gone and the world famous Eden Project are must visits, the latter protecting under its huge biomes, the world’s largest indoor rainforest. The nearest beach is at Par, with a long stretch of golden sand backed by dunes and rugged inlets and caves to explore. Fowey, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, has narrow streets, with boutique shops and fantastic restaurants, whilst St Austell, with historic Charlestown and Carlyon Bay with its far-reaching vistas is a joy to behold.

Lostwithiel is a great base for exploring this part of Cornwall, but also slightly away from the crowds. It’s an easy walk into the village with its pubs and shops as well as the excellent Asquiths restaurant. The house is comfortable, if a little dated, and is great for dogs with fields to roam (livestock movements permitting!).

Most comfortable cottage, lovely surroundings. Cream tea on arrival was an added bonus.

The location is fab! Once you find the house it is in walking distance to the town, a very easy short walk and the train station if you want to leave the car. Car journeys are easy and it is in a really good place to go on day trips. Very clean, and all the dishes and things were clean as well. Wifi was always on but occasionally wouldn’t work, usually at peak times 5-7. TV has Netflix and Amazon plus normal TV so the teenager was happy. Kitchen was well equipped, but could use some oven trays for quick oven dinners. Sharing the garden was not a problem, however, as it’s dog friendly we found that not having a gate between the flat above’s balcony and the garden meant that if the people were sitting on it with the door open, we couldn’t let the dog out as he’d want to say hello. Again not an issue because the people upstairs were dog friendly, but could cause issues if they were not. But apart from that very minor things, it is an absolutely lovely!
