“The cottage was beautiful and very ...”

The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped. The owners met us on arrival and were very pleasant and helpful. Sheila showed us around the cottage and Peter helped us to light the log burner. There was tea and a lovely chocolate cake waiting for us on arrival. The beds were extremely comfortable. Even though the weather was not too good being January, we still enjoyed our stay very much and would be very happy to stay again. We enjoyed feeding the birds in the garden with the seeds which were also provided. Really quiet location ideal to relax and unwind but not too far from Looe which we love. Liskeard is not far and has a large Morrison's supermarket which is handy, and the station which is ideal for travelling to other parts of Cornwall such as st Ives and Penzance.

“This is the cottage which sets the ...”

This is the cottage which sets the standard for others to follow. On first entering the property we were met with a hospitality tray complete with chocolate tea and cake. The cottage is superbly equipped with everything you could think of. even down to bird seed for the bird table. It couldn't be faulted. The cottage itself is immaculate every room is pristine. There is a nice little area at the front where you can relax eat or just watch the birds at the feeder. It is set in a lovely lane a few miles inland om the coast. The nearest seaside places being Polperro, East and West Looe and Fowey. Bodmin moor is a short distance away. We had a lovely time, and travelled all over beautiful Cornwall, but a week was too short to go everywhere, so we have booked two weeks next year. Peter and Sheila have done their utmost to ensure a comfortable welcoming break and we have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. 10 out of 10.

“The cottage was warm and ...”

The cottage was warm and comfortable, and had a very full inventory. It was also probably the cleanest cottage we've stayed in. The owners are also very friendly and helpful. It's a good central location in Cornwall, with easy access to main roads, but far enough away to be in the country.

“This cottage was everything we ...”

This cottage was everything we could wish for and more! Sheila and Peter provide everything, and the cottage far exceeded expectations. It was idyllic, admittedly not for everyone because of remote location, but for us it was perfect! Many thanks. Mandy and Mick

“We have stayed in many cottages in ...”

We have stayed in many cottages in Cornwall, all have been extremely difficult to get to with the track roads . We had no issues with the cottage as it is straight off the main road. The cottage itself was well equipt . It is a very pretty spot . The owners are very helpful and extremely nice people , we will be staying in one of their cottages again in the future .

“A gorgeous cottage for a truly relaxing break.”

This darling cottage is equipped with everything you could want . It is tastefully decorated throughout and very inkeeping with the building itself and country surroundings. Modern kitchen and shower room. Within easy reach of Looe and it's sandy beach, Eden project, lost gardens of Heligan, Mevagissy, aren't very far away,. Also pretty secluded garden for your evening glass of tipple. Very quiet location with the most comfortable beds which promises a perfect night's sleep at the end of your busy day. The drawback for some maybe that there is no pub or any shops within walking distance. Though it never bothered my Daughter or myself. Would love to return next time we visit Cornwall.

About the location

EAST TAPHOUSE

Liskeard 5 miles; Polperro 9 miles; Looe 9 miles.

The small village of East Taphouse is located on the A390 in the heart of the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfectly situated for exploring all that Cornwall and Devon have to offer. Located between the historic market towns of Liskeard to the east and the ancient stannary town of Lostwithiel to the west, there is also easy access to the picturesque old fishing ports of Looe, Polperro and Fowey and many spectacular sandy beaches and coves on the South Coast, whilst the rugged and dramatic Bodmin Moor is just 10 minutes to the north. Close by is the Eden Project along with the magnificent Lost Gardens of Heligan and many National Trust properties such as Lanhydrock and Cothele. Bodmin steam railway and the tall ship harbour at Charlestown are also nearby and well worth a visit. Further afield, Plymouth is only a 30-minute drive away as is the windswept northern coastline, with Padstow, Newquay, Tintagel and anywhere from Dartmoor to Land's End all accessible for an enjoyable day out.
