Lovely groundfloor apartment on the edge of Lostwithiel. Very handy for visits to Cornwalls main attractions. We visited the Eden Project, Fowey, Lost gardens of Heligan, Lands End and others.Parking on site and use of the garden. Walking distance to local shops, pubs etc.Friendly owners popped across to check all was ok a couple of times.

Wow this is the most fabulous place to stay especially if you have a dog and if you like rural which we do so quiet and peaceful all you hear are the birds singing large shared garden which is pretty much enclosed never seen so many robins! we prefer the poundhouse to the other properties dotted about the estate because everything is on ground floor dont know how many acres it is but its vast and very pretty and loved exploring it we have booked again for next year enjoyed the local farmers markets which are held on the last sat of the month
