About this property

A welcoming interior adorned with charming original features and three beautifully-appointed bedrooms make this the ideal setting for families or friends exploring the wonders of Cornwall, and this charming, dog-friendly holiday home enjoys a fantastic elevated position with stunning views across the Cornish countryside, as well as close proximity to local amenities and the unique shops dotted throughout the town. Step through the front door and into the sitting area, where the warm glow of the woodburning stove will help you unwind after a day of sightseeing. Later, assist the family cook with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen and then sit down to eat together at the large table. On warm summer evenings, why not fire up the barbecue and have a meal alfresco on the deck while taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside? As the sun sets, head upstairs to the first-floor bathroom to wash off the day and then retire to your choice of a king-size, double, or twin room with a convenient zip-and-link. If you can bear to leave this picture-perfect location, The Globe Inn and Asquith's Restaurant in the town of Lostwithiel serve up delectable meals, ideal for when you need a break from the kitchen. Beautiful riverside strolls await you in Lostwithiel, where you can also learn about the region's past at the museum. From here, it's only a short drive to Bodmin, where you can learn about Cornwall's military history at Bodmin Keeps and the 18th-century jail. Nearby is the fascinating Restormel Castle and Manor and also well worth a visit is the National Trust site of Lanhydrock House. It's not hard to reach the seaside; simply hop in the car and travel to Par, where you and your dog can enjoy a stroll along the sandy beaches of Par Sands and take in the breath-taking vistas of the English Channel. If dog walks and bike trails are your thing then check out Cardinham Woods, a mecca for dog walkers and bikers alike. Another option is to visit Newquay's famous beaches to the north, where the waves are perfect for surfing and other water sports. Make cherished memories at Penvose House.

Situated in the valley of the Fowey River, surrounded by woodlands and farms, this small village is ideal for anyone seeking a quiet escape from the bustle of city life.
