About this property
Settled in the charming village of Lifton is this wonderful manor house, found in the centre of this quaint settlement, this property boasts traditional and spacious rooms with contemporary features. The Old Manor House is a great choice for a family holiday as it has plenty of room sleeping up to ten guests and holds a central position so you can tour the very best locations. Beginning with the homely sitting room, here you can feel the character of the property come out in full flow, with two fireplaces - one holding an open fire (for decoration only) and the other, a woodburning stove - and antique style furnishings beneath the exposed wooden beams, you will be hard pressed to find somewhere more inviting than here.
Watch TV with your loved ones or pick one of the many board games to choose from and enjoy some quality time together. Head into the kitchen/diner when everyone is hungry and get cooking using the fantastic electric range cooker and hob, with sofas in here and a dining table as well, there's plenty of room for some supervisors to oversee the chefs with a glass of wine. For more formal evenings, serve up a feast in the dining room where a beautiful long table rests with ornately carved legs, with a woodburning stove set in a rustic stone fireplace. Soak in the bubbling hot tub after a busy day of exploring the surrounding area, while the children play on the large lawn area.
When you're ready to rest up for the next day ahead, travel up to the first floor to find five beautiful double bedrooms, enjoying charming views from the windows over the village and adorned with quality bed linens and furnishings to make you feel as settled as possible. Some of the bedrooms have access to a lovely en-suite or shared en-suite bathroom, while the final bedroom features a double bed with a spiral staircase leading to a pleasant space with a sofa bed, a perfect spot for enjoying some quiet time away from the crowd. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful home, then begin with a beach day at Boscastle Beach for sun, sea and sand, with nearby towns along Cornwall's north coast well worth a visit too, including the charming old fishing village of Port Isaac, or the historic Tintagel, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur with a rugged clifftop holding an amazing statue in tribute to this myth and a castle to be explored.
Both the Bodmin Moors and the Tamar Valley AONB offer amazing walking country, along with the huge Dartmoor National Park where a whole host of activities can be enjoyed. The Old Manor House is a fabulous property with a perfect balance of old and new, waiting to be the gracious host to your family holiday in Devon.

For that we would expect 100% cotton bed linen, king size or larger double beds providing they fitted in the rooms, well fitted mattress protectors, suitable duvets for the time of year and bath sheets rather than just bath towels. There was one king sized double bed but with a double bed sheet (not king sized therefore too small) and oversized mattress protector. BUT, two king sized beds were stated on the description. All double beds could have been larger in the available space. The mattresses were all far too soft and the single beds had double duvets on them. For 5* we would not expect the cheapest possible linen, duvets, towels and over-soft mattresses. We would expect to be able to eat in the kitchen from the description, but although there was space there was neither table nor sufficient furniture provided. Cutlery was the cheapest possible quality and there were just 10 ordinary knifes and no serving spoons. In the formal dining-room the provision of place mats was poor: mismatched, no mats for serving dishes and only one coaster per person. It was very nice to have an area outside undercover, but there was inadequate sitting for all to sit down together. There was a pool table added to the lounge, which was nice, but it was too dark to actually use and it meant than we could NOT all sit down together in the same area. We were asked not to use the open fire, though it is clearly available in the description. Had the pool table been put in the other end of the room, we believe the furniture could have been arranged for ten to sit down together around the log-burning stove. Good things about the property were the property itself, its spaciousness, the garden and the amenities of the area. The bad things were the lack of thought for providing a comfortable stay for up to 10 people, in our case 6 adults and 3 children, being ourselves as the oldest generation our two daughters, their husband/partner and our three grandchildren and one short haired, clean well-behaved largish dog. Saying a property is pet friendly and then the pet can only go on less than 50% of the ground-floor seems unreasonable, and had we appreciated this we would not have booked this property. The carpets that we were asked to protect by restricting the dog to the hard surface area, were neither white, nor particularly clean, nor of a sufficient quality to be over zealously protected.
