    "We had a lovely week at Little Oaklands."

    There is everything you could possibly need, it is in a very peaceful location but not far to travel to many lovely locations. The garden is amazing, I think our labradoodle would have happily stayed behind she thought she had her own fully enclosed park to explore. Thank you to Sheila and Mark who are perfect hosts, the advance email, text messages and welcome goodies were very much appreciated. If we come back to Cornwall we will definitely choose Little Oaklands.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed Little Oaklands and Cornwall. Property Owner

    "We loved our stay at Little Oaklands, the proprietors whose house adjoins the property are a lovely couple both helpful and friendly if we needed them."

    The huge garden is really secluded and well fenced to keep our inquisitive spaniel within the grounds. The cottage was wonderful for the 2 of us with a well kitted kitchen with everything we needed for our stay (particularly the scones and eggs on arrival). One observation and definitely not a criticism is the main bed and settee was very firm where our preference is on the softer side. Lostwithiel has a great butcher and shops and Lerryn has some lovely walks too so we would definitely come back to this area for further exploration.

    From the friendly welcome to the great accommodation this cannot be beaten. So good we booked for next year on the first day. The web site pictures cannot fully capture the beautiful grounds,the cleanliness of the rooms. The dog loved it and so did we!,,

    Sheila and Mark greeted us on our arrival and there was a lovely homely welcome basket of goodies to settle us in. Stunning landscaped gardens and our lab, Henry, made friends with Alfie, their lab, over the garden gate. Great location and certainly a recommendation to friends and family if they decide to visit Cornwall. We would definitely stay again!

    The Bungalow was very well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were so comfy! A clean and tidy and homely place to stay with such a fantastic well kept secured garden and private decking area. We have already booked for next August as it was perfect for our needs. A stunning area of outstanding beauty indeed. Nice and peaceful with lots of wildlife too which we enjoyed.

    So glad you enjoyed Little Oaklands. Look forward to welcoming you again next year! Property Owner

    "Little Oaklands was just perfect."

    The cottage itself was superb; it is tastefully furnished and beautifully maintained. There were also many very thoughtful ‘touches’ which made our stay special - ‘home from home’. Then there is the lovely deck area and large garden - both very private and well maintained. The location was great for us as it is quiet but still close to many places that we wished to visit. The owners, Sheila and Mark, are very friendly and helpful, too. We would definitely want to stay at Little Oaklands again!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    "Whilst we picked the wrong week in terms of the weather, we had a lovely time staying at Little Oaklands!"

    Directions and arrival instructions were great, and we were met by our lovely hosts and greeted with some lovely welcome goodies in our kitchen, for us and our pups. I always overpack as you never know what will be supplied, but frankly everything we could have wanted was supplied, from books and board games, down to a doggy towel and bowl! Great location, incredibly peaceful, and the puppers absolutely adored the huge garden and didn't want to leave. Many thanks! xx

    Thank you for your lovely comments. So pleased you enjoyed your stay (despite the weather!). Property Owner

The property

Situated between the picturesque riverside village of Lerryn and the historic town of Lostwithiel is Little Oaklands, a delightful two-bedroom semi-detached holiday let.

Enjoying a superb, rural location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a quiet country lane, Little Oaklands provides a tranquil setting but is not far from Lerryn and Lostwithiel for pubs, dining out or for essentials.

Little Oaklands is a wonderful dog-friendly, base for couples or a family of four with a superb, very large garden.

Leave your vehicle in one of two off-road parking spaces adjacent to your accommodation.

Step into the well-equipped kitchen, which features a dishwasher and washing machine, here you can impress your guests with delicious home-cooked meals ready to enjoy at the dining table for four.

If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on your private decking, or on the picnic bench on the large private lawn?

The picturesque village of Lerryn is just a short drive away.

Set beside the tidal River Lerryn, upstream from the popular town of Fowey, there are riverside footpaths and woods to explore and easy launching for kayaks and stand-up paddle boards from the riverbank at high tide.

The village of Lerryn nestles in a wooded valley where an ancient stone bridge spans the river and steppingstones appear at low tide.

The ancient town of Lostwithiel (1.7 miles) is a thriving small town with the River Fowey running through it.

Lostwithiel has many craft, antique and boutique shops, along with supermarket, butchers, deli, cafes, pubs, restaurants and takeaways.

The coastline is close by with unspoilt, secret beaches and coves such as Lantic Bay and Lansallos beach 6.4 miles away.

Other nearby attractions include South West Coast path, Eden Project (7.6 miles), Lost Gardens of Heligan (11 miles) and many National Trust properties and gardens such as Lanhydrock (4 miles).

Further afield, you will find the bustling town of Fowey, home to the Fowey Aquarium, St Catherine’s Castle, the National Trust site of Fowey Estaury and the stunning Readymoney Cove.

Little Oaklands is an ideal base from which to explore Cornwall’s beautiful countryside and coast.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

Where you’ll be staying

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.
