Mill House

Lostwithiel, Cornwall

Located in the charming hamlet of Lostwithiel, Cornwall, this traditional detached house offers a serene retreat just a short drive from the breathtaking South West Coast Path and the hidden beaches of Lantivet Bay and Lansallos Cove. The property, originally the Mill House for a nearby unrestored mill, is nestled along a tributary of the Fowey River and is accessed via a quaint, uneven path that crosses the mill leat. The picturesque setting includes a small bridge over Penpoll Creek, providing an ideal spot for launching canoes and dinghies at high tide, just 25 yards from the house.

Conveniently situated, the property is only 2 miles from Bodinnick, where guests can enjoy a charming old pub and a car ferry that connects to the vibrant town of Fowey. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the various circular country walks available right from the doorstep, including scenic routes to Lerryn and St Winnow, as well as the stunning Fowey Hall Walk along the coast. For more amenities, the picturesque harbor of Polperro is a mere 6 miles away, while the larger resort of Looe, located 10 miles from the house, offers a sandy beach and a wider selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. Notably, attractions like the Eden Project and Lanhydrock House can be reached within a 30-minute drive.

The surrounding grassy garden, which features a practical outside W.C., enhances the property’s appeal, although it is not recommended for unsupervised toddlers or young children due to its proximity to the river. The garden provides a delightful space for older children to explore and enjoy the outdoors, with garden furniture available for relaxation. Additionally, the property includes off-road parking for two vehicles, with extra parking available on a private grass verge adjacent to the house, ensuring convenience for guests traveling by car.

Accommodating up to five guests, the property features three bedrooms and welcomes one small dog, making it a perfect getaway for families or small groups. It is important to note that linen and towels are not provided, and the property is suitable for four adults, one child, and an infant. For those looking for a bit of savings, a loyalty discount is available, although only one discount may be applied if other offers are present. This idyllic location and well-appointed home promise a memorable stay in the heart of Cornwall.
