“Owners were there to welcome me and to show me around the cottage.”

A lovely welcome pack for myself and treats, towels and feeding bowls for Holly. Also as I was on my own, Carol text me to ensure that I was ok and warm enough. The location was brilliant to go sightseeing around Cornwall. I definitely would recommend Carpenters Cottage.

“Delightful old world cottage, A lovely relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.”

“The personal touch of the couple who own the cottage was lovely and very welcoming.”

.. We were even allowed to check out a bit later than expected which was nice. It's a very nice character cottage, It could be perfected with a more comfy sofa, two comfy sofa's would be ideal. It's a good central location for exploring Cornwall. The only issue we had was the sat-nav could not accurately identify the post code, so we got a bit lost on arrival... A good old fashioned map may help you on that score. We would happily stay their again, it was also a competitive rate for the time of year (July) which helped our budget.

“We found Carpenters Cottage very comfortable, as described there are low door beams and a ancient wooden staircase that adds to its charm, but mind your head on the entrance into the the sitting room.”

Langore is a small village, to walk around but no shop or pub. Found a nice walk for our dog. Visited lots of beautiful places, Fowey, Padstow, Port Issac, Plymouth, Lost Gardens of Helligan, Bude and Mevagissey all within distance of Langore. Nearby we visited Dingles Fairground Museum where we had an enjoyable nostalgic visit riding on Dodgems, Ghost Train and Carousel Horses. On arriving the owners met us and left us a lovely hamper of Cream Tea, Biscuits, Milk and Bottle of Wine. A lovely touch. This was most welcome before our online grocery order arrived. The bed was very comfortable and all facilities excellent. We used the lower garden as we had some lovely weather, perhaps sun loungers would have made this even nicer. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“Delightful Cottage, so comfortable with welcoming and friendly hosts.”

Lovely Cream Tea on arrival. Two pretty gardens - one a sunny courtyard and the other a hidden garden with views across the valley. Carpenter's Cottage is well equipped but takes a step back in time with its slate floor and ancient Oak floor upstairs. Cottage is set in quiet village but with friendly locals and a good supply of freshly laid eggs up the road! I think a return visit to Carpenter's Cottage is guaranteed!

The property

Carpenters Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed cottage, full of character with slate floors, low beams and even lower doorways, situated next door to the site of the old forge and attached to the site of the old wheelwright's shop where wagons were once made, in the village of Langore, near Launceston. This is a romantic cottage perfectly located in a quiet setting, but close enough to visit all the many historical towns in the area and also sample the superb selection of pubs and restaurants available. All the internal joinery is Grade II listed, (where you will be able to find the original roman numeral carpenters marks carved on the somewhat uneven floor). Ancient wooden stairs lead up to the bedroom with its high vaulted ceiling and en-suite shower room. The sitting room has a stone fireplace with a decorative cloam oven and logburner, perfect for the cooler evenings. The adjoining dining area is a delightful spot to enjoy home cooked meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen which comes complete with granite worktops adding to the character. Outside there are two patios to capture both the morning and afternoon sun, whilst on the other side of the cottage there is a garden area just perfect for watching the sun go down at the end of the day. The village of Langore has two acres of open access land including a delightful woodland walk and dog-friendly paddock adjacent to the village green. Close by is the ancient town of Launceston with its old castle keep and range of shopping and leisure facilities. The cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the beautiful countryside in Cornwall and you are within easy access to Bude, Boscastle, Padstow, Port Isaac and Trebarwith Strand, amongst other lovely villages and beaches.

The nearest beach with a beautiful pub, is Crackington Haven, which is 12 miles away.

We are also within easy reach of The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

You could drive to Plymouth, Liskeard or Tavistock enjoying the delights of this part of the country on the way. Also nearby are several coarse fisheries, two golf courses, Launceston steam railway and the delightful Cowslip Workshops, which offer monthly craft/patchwork workshops, as well as a shop, cafe and occasional exhibitions. A section of the National Cycle Network route 327 follows the beautiful Kensey River valley from Launceston to Egloskerry. Carpenters Cottage really is the perfect romantic retreat for any time of the year
