  • "A beautiful well appointed cottage."

    Everything we could want, comfortable, very clean, warm, plenty of hot water, parking and welcoming. One of the best cottages I have stayed in. Can't fault it at all. And in the lovely town of Lostwithiel. Absolutely 5 star.

  • "Loved staying at this property, only a couple of minor issues to note."

    Any water being drawn ie, turning on a tap flushing a toilet resulted in a lot of noise ! I noticed you had a problem with a square coffee table ,and replaced it with an oval glass one, personally, an oval solid / wooden one would be a better option . A hand rail for entry/ exit for the bath/ shower. The fan supplied is very noisy!! The neighbours parking could have been more considerate. Apart from these minor issues, we would love to stay again.

  • "Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall."

    Nice and secure for our dogs and walking distance from three great pubs. Spotless cottage with friendly owners. Home from home and the desk area (wifi) is perfect for "working from home whilst on holiday!" we will be going back, nice touch with dog treats and prosecco! (prosecco not for the dogs, they were driving)

  • "We've had a lovely stay at this charming cottage in the pretty village of Lostwithiel."

    Myself and my husband needed to use it as a home from home, both of us working for a couple of days whilst here. It was perfect; so comfortable, so well equipped and the WiFi was very fast, even with 2 of us working and on video calls. I used a purpose built desk upstairs and my husband the dining table downstairs. The owners seem to have thought of everything you could need and I didn't need to use anything I'd brought from home. It is extremely clean and beautifully decorated with plenty of storage space upstairs. When not working, it was a perfect place from which to explore the village and the rest of Cornwall. We ate in The Globe in the village, which was lovely. I can also recommend Haveners in Fowey ("Foy") which wasn't our first choice, but they found us a table on a busy day and couldn't have been any more friendly. The dressed crab was superb and well worth the walk back up the steep hill to the main car park! We met the cottage owners, who owns both 1 and 2 Old Talbot, a lovely, welcoming couple. Thank you very much for the bubbly you left for us and we hope to be back soon. We're very happy to recommend your beautiful cottage to everyone.

    It has great views over Lostwithiel and the hills beyond. We had a breakfast and evening meal taking in the view. Lostwithiel is a very pretty town and the cottage is a couple of minutes walk from pubs, shops and the River Fowey with a wide range of beaches within a 15 minute drive. Looking forward to our next visit already

  • "Lovely comfortable cottage, well decorated, comfortable sofa, chairs and bed."

    Really close to pubs, restaurants, shops. Ideal situation for exploring local attractions . Only downsides are - no garden - but table and chairs provided on gravel drive protected by a wall. A bit of road noise from the bedroom.

    Thank you for the good feedback score. We really appreciate that you found our place comfortable. We do agree, Lostwithiel really does have everything you need right on the doorstep. Its very unfortunate that we have no control over the traffic volume at the height of the tourist season, however, our place is triple glazed, which definitely keeps the road noise to minimal. Thank you also for the garden comments, we do hope to address this, however, there is a table and chairs and ample room to enjoy our lovely view. We hope that you will visit again.

    We really appreciate being able to park safely off the road there and not having to worry about using local car parks. Everything is very cosy and comfortable and provides everything we could need, and the owners are friendly and helpful and respond quickly to any queries. Within easy reach we visited Charlestown and Fowey, both breathtakingly beautiful, St Austell (which sadly is not!), the Duchy of Cornwall nursery gardens, plus a shopping trip to Trago, a visit to a new organic restaurant (soon to add farm shop, cafe and garden walk) in a fabulous setting at Crocadon Farm near Saltash, and of course spent time in Lostwithiel itself which we love.

You can savour fresh fish and chips as you soak in the sights with a walk along the banks of the River Fowey, enjoy a well-deserved drink in the beer garden at The Globe Inn, or pick up some last-minute ingredients with a trip to the Co-op. Immerse yourself in the local history with a tour of Lostwithiel Museum, or marvel at the medieval remains of Restormel Castle, dating back to the 13th century and offering panoramic views across the surrounding countryside from its position on the hilltop. Or take the family to spend a fun-filled day out at Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary, where you can come face-to-face with a variety of exotic animals and birds, wander through the ancient woodland, or explore the authentic African Plains village, with traditional huts built with mud and wicker.

About the location

LOSTWITHIEL

Bodmin 5.5 miles; Fowey 7 miles.

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.
