Set on the glorious Lanwithan Estate in the pretty riverside town of Lostwithiel, these lovely, detached properties are perfect for families wanting the peace and quiet of rural surroundings whilst being just a couple of minutes from the town. Granny’s Cottage is a charming, detached retreat with a romantic, four poster bed in the master bedroom. The second property on-site, The Farmhouse has a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a separate more formal dining room, and a living room with an open fire. Both properties make an ideal location for a family holiday, not only in summer but also for lovely spring and autumn breaks, as well as winter and Christmas getaways for a special family gathering.
The gardens and grounds at Lanwithan are simply gorgeous, with mature oak trees and impressive giant firs growing alongside colourful camellias, azaleas and rhododendrons. Granny’s Cottage and The Farmhouse share the extensive grounds with a small cluster of other holiday cottages on-site which have been converted from the original farm buildings. Guests are welcome to wander and explore the grounds, take in the stunning views across fields and stroll down to the banks of the River Fowey. The friendly owners live on-site in the manor house and are always happy to help. Lostwithiel itself has a unique range of shops including crafts, gifts, antiques and an auction house. Beach 7 miles. Shop and restaurant 1 mile, pub ½ mile.
Granny’s Cottage and The Farmhouse can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.
We found Granny’s Cottage to be very comfortable and clean. The owners Ruth and Henry were very helpful and friendly. For example Ruth sent a text and phone message to check that all was well once we’d settled in.
warm welcome missing: own garden
A gem of a place, I would give it 10 out of 10 (very unusual for me!) but for the fact that the central heating was on a timer and thermostatically controlled leaving the cottage very cold early in the morning. Excellent for walking the dog. The hosts were charming and very thoughtful. Wonderfully secluded yet only a few hundred yards pleasant walk into the heart of Lostwithiel. Will definitely go back one day.
Our stay September, 2019
