  • "Comfortable, clean and well located in the town."

    Second bedroom is a bit of a squeeze but suited our 12 and 8 year olds fine. The owners kindly let us use an outside socket to charge our electric car. We would be very happy to return to Talbot Cottages.

    Thank you for the great feedback score. We are pleased that you found our place comfortable and clean. Our property does have the added benefit of an outside electric socket, and we were happy to accommodate your requirements; you were our first visitor requesting charging facilities. We hope you will return soon. We will welcome you back again, anytime. Property Owner

  • "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. You will be very welcome. Property Owner

    The cottage was very clean and well furnished. Welcome treats on arrival were much appreciated as was the early check in. We would stay here again in the future. Lots of books to read, local area info, nice outside space. The location is great, central location to nearby shops and restaurants. Nice walk for the dogs by the river.

  • "The cottage was very good, beautifully decorated with good furniture."

    Our only criticism would be the outside space, although the table and chairs were fine the actual area was unkempt.

    We are very pleased that you enjoyed our cottage. It is unfortunate that we were away for a while, and at this time we had a lot of sunshine as well as rain... ideal growing conditions for weeds. We are now back on top of looking after the parking area and garden. We take pride in the presentation of our property, including the outside space, and we do hope that you will visit us again soon.

  • "Just had a wonderful second visit to this lovely cottage."

    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. We definitely hope to return next year!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad that you love our cottage and the surrounding area. We do agree that the private parking we have is an additional bonus. We do hope that you will return again soon. You will be very welcome any time. Property Owner

    Lostwithiel is a quaint little town which has a river running through with picnic tables ideal for families. There are plenty of local walks around although we only walked up to Restormel castle which was interesting. All-in all we had a good week.

We do have triple glazing at the cottage, however we do appreciate that you visited during a very warm spell, when you would be most likely to want to leave the windows open, and that the end of August is the busiest time on our Cornish roads.

    The house had everything we needed including a high chair and plenty of equipment for cooking our own meals (when we weren’t enjoying the delicious fish and chips in the village). The location was perfect, with the playing fields and river so close behind the house for restless little people. We also enjoyed the views over the valley sitting at the outside table. The WiFi was surprisingly fast for a small village and fine for working from “home”. The owners couldn’t do enough to make us comfortable. Will definitely book again.

Old Talbot Cottages

Old Talbot Cottages consists of two wonderful holiday homes resting at the heart of the quaint town of Lostwithiel in the popular holiday destination of Cornwall. The collection offers shared, off-road parking, a rarity in the town and a close proximity to the centre of Lostwithiel where you'll find all of your essential amenities, making it perfectly suited for families and friends looking to explore Cornwall. 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. The cottages also lie near the Eden Project, a world-famous eco-park made up of biome domes nestled in a reclaimed clay pit, home to the largest indoor rainforest in the world as well as a vibrant botanical garden, promising a fascinating experience for all the family. Jump in the car and journey to the nearby Carlyon Bay, where thrill-seekers can try their hand at jet skiing or surfing, or for a more leisurely experience, bask in the sun's rays with a good book as you lounge on the sand.

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.
