About this property
The Mill is a lovely, detached cottage nestled on the outskirts of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. This pet-friendly property boasts a wood-burning stove, stunning countryside views, and designated off-road parking for one car, making it idyllic for couples and solo travellers seeking a rural retreat in the Cornish countryside.
Inside, The Mill offers beautifully presented reverse-level accommodation with a stylish open-plan living space on the first floor. Tastefully furnished throughout, it provides the perfect place to cosy up on the sumptuous sofa in front of the Smart TV, enjoy a movie night, or relax beside the warming wood-burning stove. The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped for preparing delicious meals, while the dining area makes the most of the far-reaching countryside views. Keep an eye out for roe deer grazing in the fields, or take a stroll to spot the resident owls nesting on the owner's property and perhaps even hunting overhead.
The ground floor hosts a beautifully decorated king-size bedroom, finished in classic Farrow & Ball colours to create a calming and inviting retreat. Completing the accommodation is a stylish modern bathroom featuring elegant marble-effect wall panels, ceramic mosaic floor tiles, and a practical walk-in wet-room-style shower with a luxurious rainfall showerhead.

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance. The tumbling Atlantic surf, long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of the north coast, including at the renowned Newquay, make for great days out and there is also chance to enjoy river canoeing, biking, hiking and leisurely walks in this lovely area. The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.
