  • "Probably the best property we have ever rented."

    We were two elderly couples staying in an, obviously, oversized house, but even for eight people it would have been spacious. The property is remote and the weather was awful, but we were extermely warm and comfortable. We would happily return but we are about to get a puppy, so this will preclude us in the future.

  • "Truly wonderful property in a beautiful peaceful location."

    The views from every window are amazing! Lovely garden, and great walks along the river. The owner is very friendly and helpful. (Small point - the living room lacks some of the furnishings shown on the website, now looking a little bare in comparison.)

  • "A huge fabulous house and garden."

    Feels remote, but just a 25 minute uphill walk back from the pub in Lerryn. Very private. Could do with a bit more garden furniture scattered around, especially a couple of loungers on the balcony to watch the night sky, stars were amazing on the one cloudless night we had. Only let down by very poor internet connection, kept going off! Impossible to stream tv. And with no games or books in the cottage this became a problem.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Ribby Farmhouse, the welcome pack of Scones, Coffee, Tea , biscuits and wine was a lovely surprise."

    The cottage was well equipped for everything we needed and was very homely in a beautiful location. We would highly recommend staying here for an amazing holiday. The owners were friendly and very helpful. Thank you for a great holiday.

  • "Really lovely property in a brilliant position!"

    The property is well equipped, although the cupboard behind the kitchen door took us a day to find. An area handbook would be a good addition, we did leave some literature in the dresser drawer which will hopefully be of use to others. Overall though we had a great stay.

    Excellent facilities and comfort.

  • "Superb property in a lovely secluded location."

    Even better than the listings though these may have been updated. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny week, so didn't get to use all the inside space to its full advantage, but the outside table seated our 8 comfortably for every meal. Wonderful views across the valley too. Good short drive access (through narrow Cornish lanes) to beautiful Lantic and Lansallos National Trust beaches if you have two strong legs for the walks down and back up!

    An information pack about the house would be useful.

    The photographs on your site don't do justice to to the wonderful position of the property and its extensive grounds and views. We had a fab time Thanks

    The beds were very comfortable.

  • "The house had some problems with the heating system so we had to have engineers out on more that than one occasion, but the owners went above and beyond to try and get it sorted quickly."

    There was also an issue with the en suite shower not being hot but they sorted that quickly. Think because it's a new home it's just having some teething problems, especially as it is now winter and you find these things out. Otherwise the house is lovely, done up really well, has all the equipment needed and more. Lovely touches like scones and wine on arrival

  • "Stunning property and location."

    I booked last minute for a family holiday with our three year old and absolutely loved staying at the farmhouse. The owners have gone to town with the decor of the property with Laura Ashley furnishings, lovely antiques and spacious living rooms. The property is very well equipped, a luxury to stay here. The gardens and Woodlands are stunning, my son loved exploring the grounds. I can't highly recommend this property enough and will definitely be booking again in the near future.

  • "We felt extremely lucky to have been able to book this wonderful house."

    Everything was newly refurbished, it was beautifully decorated, and the equipment was all brand new throughout the house. It is in a delightfully secluded location. There is a lovely garden with seating, perfect for a drink in the evening. The host was exceptionally helpful and welcoming, and easy to contact when we wanted some information about the local area. She went to great lengths to ensure that our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. She provided a complimentary welcome pack including milk, bread, tea, coffee, wine, scones and cream. If you want a quiet and peaceful environment with all the mod-cons, then this is for you. We could not have asked for a better place to stay or a warmer welcome.

About the location

LERRYN

Lostwithiel 3 miles; Bodmin 10 miles.

For those seeking peace, tranquillity and the unspoilt splendour of Cornwall’s ‘softer’ southern coast there can be few finer spots than Lerryn. Sitting at the very point where the River Lerryn joins the highest tidal reach of a creek leading up from the Fowey estuary, the village has a timeless, natural beauty no matter the season. Footpaths meander through the woods and along the river bank while out on the water the small boats owned by local residents provide another means of travelling down stream to Fowey (3.5miles) for shopping or just something to do in wonderful surroundings. The village boasts an award winning pub/restaurant and has a small shop and post office. Nearby Lostwithiel is renowned also for its good restaurants and antique shops. The stunning Eden Project (8 miles), the Shipwreck Harbour at Charlestown, the lovely fishing village and harbour of Mevagissey, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the stately home and gardens at Lanhydrock (NT) can all be reached in under half an hour while Padstow and the rolling surf of the north coast are just over 20 miles away.
