Ludgvan Cottage in Cornwall receives high praise for its high standard refurbishment, spaciousness, and modern amenities. Guests appreciate the convenient location with a shop and award-winning pub nearby, as well as the proximity to beaches and walks. The property is described as comfortable, well-equipped, and providing a 'home from home' experience. The secure garden is a bonus for dog owners, and the attentive owner is commended for providing useful information and a welcome pack.
Reviews consistently mention the property being very clean and well-presented, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness. One minor comment about the desire for a mop to maintain cleanliness does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to a local pub, shop, and nearby beaches. The village setting and availability of walks add to the appeal. The property's proximity to attractions like Heligan Gardens and coastal villages enhances its desirability.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with quality furnishings and a spacious layout. The patio and secure garden are appreciated for relaxation. One review mentioning sofas being a bit soft for someone with back problems slightly impacts the score.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern facilities, a BBQ, and thoughtful extras. However, minor issues such as a missing corkscrew, light bulbs, and instructions for the hob and heated flooring suggest room for improvement in maintenance.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of a welcome pack, local information, and checking in with guests. While gifts are mentioned and appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.
Enjoying Cornwall's delightful countryside in the village of Gorran Churchtown is this Grade II listed, 180 year’s old detached stone and slate house featuring clome ovens, Ludgvan Cottage. A fantastic base for families of six, Ludgvan Cottage not only enjoys the peaceful surroundings in this charming village but is within easy reach of a wealth of coastal sights! When arriving at the house, you will be happy to find two off-road parking spaces, making it an easy task to unload your belongings into your home-from-home. Continue inside from the hall to be taken in by the sitting room, where a coastal colour scheme, cushioned seating, a toasty woodburning stove and a flatscreen TV make for the perfect spot for relaxation.
Move through the property to its rear, where a beautifully-fitted kitchen enjoys pristine white units, a breakfast bar, heated slate floors and a range of integrated appliances, which add to its sleek look; creating a space where the chef of the group can prepare meals in style! When a sumptuous meal has been whipped up, enjoy it next door in the dining room, a space boasting original stonework and is where a dining table of six awaits (when can be extended to eight)! The property enjoys a ground floor cloakroom and a first floor beautifully finished bathroom with rainfall shower. Continue across the first floor to come across three tastefully furnished bedrooms, with the first one being a double, the second room being a twin and the last room containing a bunk bed that is perfect for any guests.
To the back of the property rests an enclosed sun-trap patio, a place that can become the perfect, sunny spot for you to unwind in during the warmer months! A highlight of Ludgvan Cottage is its location, with a shop (groceries and post office, open seven days a week) and The Barley Sheaf pub (voted pub of the year 2021/2022 by Cornwall tourist Board, which serves award winning food and ales) practically on your doorstep; be sure to venture a short way to Gorran Haven, too, where gorgeous beaches and access to the South West Coastal Path are waiting to be discovered.
From the front door, you can walk with the dog to Portmellon via the side lane and footpaths to the Rising Sun pub, without engaging with any car; enjoy a few ales or ciders in the pub and embark on a leisurely walk back to the property. The fishing port of Mevagissey rests moments away and is home to the fascinating attractions of the Mevagissey Aquarium and the Mevagissey Model Railway, along with the delights of Mevagissey Harbour with its waterside eateries, summer passenger ferry to Fowey and fishing charters. Just four miles from the front door is the Lost Gardens of Heligan’s 200 acres estate – certainly worth visiting and a high quality farm shop.
Travel further to St Austell, a town that boasts access to the famed Eden Project, along with the Wheal Martyn Clay Works, Kidzworld, golf courses, the Pinetum Gardens, historic Charlestown and of course, stunning shores! The region hosts even more wonders that are waiting to be experienced, such as Perranporth, Newquay, quaint St Mawes, picturesque King Harry Ferry, Bodmin, Lanhydrock and Truro; be sure to check them out during your stay. Whisk those who mean the most away for a marvellous stay at Ludgvan Cottage.

Good and helpful communication with the owner at start and end of holiday. Village shop and inn across the road. Sea a mile or so down the road. Lost Gardens a few miles the other way and if you fancy a drive there are many favourites easily within reach. 10 out of 10.
