Lanwithan Manor, built in 1827, is steeped in history and originally served as the residence for the governess and the children's nursery. The property has been beautifully transformed into spacious holiday homes while retaining period charm. The grounds are adorned with vibrant flora, including mature trees, rhododendrons, camellias, and azaleas, which provide a stunning backdrop throughout the seasons. Guests can explore the shared gardens and parkland, which also features bluebell woods and a historic cider orchard, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration.
Located just a five-minute walk from the quaint riverside town of Lostwithiel, known as Cornwall's antiques capital, visitors can easily access a variety of antique shops and art galleries. Nearby attractions include the historic Restormel Castle and the exquisite Lanhydrock House and gardens, both of which offer rich cultural experiences. The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with options for golfing at Lanhydrock Golf Club and hiking along the South West Coast Path. The local beach is a mere seven miles away, adding to the appeal of this charming location.
The two properties within the manor's south wing, named Isolda’s and Tristan’s, cater to different needs, accommodating couples or small families comfortably. Isolda’s boasts a south-facing living room with views of the gardens, while Tristan’s features a farmhouse-style kitchen and charming bedrooms overlooking the scenic landscape. The friendly owners reside on-site, encouraging guests to explore the hidden corners of the grounds. Please note that these properties do not allow dogs due to a pet wallaby on the premises. Both apartments can be booked together to host up to six guests, making them an excellent choice for a group getaway.
