About this property

As you arrive at the detached Cornish retreat, you are immediately taken by the peace and tranquillity that surrounds you. Step inside the property and discover a bright and airy lounge diner, where you can grab an enthralling novel from the collection of books and retreat to the sunlit conservatory, a wonderful spot to relax and unwind with a glass of wine. Make yourself feel right at home cooking a hearty meal in the well-equipped, newly fitted country style kitchen. Then choose to take the door out to your enclosed raised patio area, a lovely spot for alfresco dining with loved ones whilst enjoying the sunshine and looking out over the sweeping, secluded lawned garden which the children will be sure to love or choose to gather around the large dining table inside as you make plans for the days ahead.

Smooth check in and the cottage was so comfy and furnished beautifully. We had everything, having a lovely and relaxing stay. The garden is lovely with lots of birds. We'll be sure to recommend to friends and family, and hopefully return ourselves!

Even though there are neighbours either side you can't actually see them as the property is surrounded by tall trees. Lanreath is a very quiet little village and there are safe walks from the property suitable for mobility scooter. Looe is only 6 miles away and Fowey close by via the ferry. Bodmin about 20 minutes away. The conservatory is a nice place to sit and take in the quiet and the sofa in there is comfortable. I think a few improvements would make the property even more appealing, the bathroom whilst perfectly useable could do with an upgrade and we had an issue with the shower door which the owner arranged repair the same day which we really appreciated. Its only a personal preference but I would remove some of the trees at the back to open the lovely view over the fields towards Bodmin from the conservatory. But all in all a nice place to visit.
