Quaint house just outside Lostwithiel and a base for exploring this part of Cornwall although in need of updating.

The Farmhouse was a perfect location for a holiday in this part of Cornwall. The house is comfortable and well equipped, a good farmhouse style kitchen, comfortable sitting room, good bedrooms, and a pleasant garden - complete with a dining area, which was where we mostly ate. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The house is part of an enclave with other smaller properties, and it was very noticeable that the other visitors were mostly long term regulars there; we could see why. It was easy to walk into Lostwithiel to shop, or visit one of the pubs, and there were man y good places to visit within easy driving distance.
