“Lovely large cottage with a huge garden.”

Everything we needed for our holiday of 4 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs. Garden mostly secure for dogs but there is a low wall to the orchard at one point in the garden which our 2 in their younger years would have been over - fortunately now elderly they didn’t ! Travel Cot and high chair provided although high chair attaches to a dining chair so only suitable it baby can sit unaided.

Everything we needed for our holiday of 4 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs. Garden mostly secure for dogs but there is a low wall to the orchard at one point in the garden which our 2 in their younger years would have been over - fortunately now elderly they didn’t ! Travel Cot and high chair provided although high chair attaches to a dining chair so only suitable it baby can sit unaided. Steep driveway took some maneuvering especially as road past the house is typically Cornish and therefore narrow (!) - however we managed to park with 2 SUVs so it can be done if someone can guide you in. Lerryn is a pretty little village with a lot of history and great walks. Fabulous village shop with pretty much all essentials including delicious pasties and an ice cream kiosk. Otherwise Co-Op in Lostwithiel. Pub average - also offers takeaway service except it would seem when they’re busy - not too sure of their logic! Found a great Indian restaurant in Lostwithiel instead which also offered takeaway and was delicious. Great week away with wonderful weather and lots to see and do

“The cottage was ready early so we were able to gain entry sooner.”

We left at 8.45 am on Saturday after a great week in the cottage , which has been recently done out it would seem. Everything worked. The fittings and furnishings were good and of a high standard. Please accept our thanks and pass our comments on to the owner. ( The settees were a bit tired in the cushion department , and could do with re-stuffing )

“What a fantastic cottage, situated in a picture postcard village.”

The cottage was amazingly well equipped with an enormous garden. The village is tiny with a pub and a shop which just adds to charm. The pub food was top notch - no Covid-19 reduces menu rubbish - and had great options for the vegan and vegetarian I’m our group...and the staff were very friendly. Plenty for three active 21 year olds to do - kayaking and paddle boarding in Fowey and surfing in Newquay - and great walks for us older people with 2 very happy dogs. Wouldn’t hesitate to go to this cottage again.

“Very comfortable house, lovely garden, great location”

We had a great week in the cottage and Leryn exploring the area with local walks. The cottage is very comfortable and homely with everything you would need for a week away and we felt at home. The garden is lovely and interesting and great for the woofers. Locally, everyone was very friendly and the local pub was a good feature where we spent a few evenings in there chatting to locals. Lovely and peaceful evenings sat on the bench in the sun with the tide in. will hopefully visit again.

“Darling Buds of May”

My partner and I stayed here with Breeze, our German Shepherd, to celebrate our Cornish Grandaughter’s 1st Birthday. We were luckier than we’ve ever been in that we had sunshine for the whole week - no rain! Our first impression of 1 Rose Cottage was ‘yikes’ to the driveway which is steep and is off a narrow and quite busy road, but we got used to it. The cottage is very quaint and comfortable, providing lots of space with two lounges and two dining areas which would be great for larger parties. The kitchen, on a lower level, is modern and well equipped and has a stable door leading outside with a small utility area, useful for storing dog food & wellies had we needed them! We used the washing machine and rotary clothes drier in the garden. Bedrooms are comfy and pretty with lovely views and wardrobe space in each. The bathroom is spacious with over bath shower and a lovely view of the garden. A cloakroom toilet on the ground floor is useful. The cottage is nicely furnished, clean and has no doggy smell at all. The heating is by storage heaters which we turned off because the weather was warm enough, and we noticed there were other electric heaters available. The garden is truly amazing with different sitting areas and a large lawn with distant views over the estuary In one direction and a field in another. On different levels, accessible by steps and a slope, there is a mixture of flower borders and tubs, including herbs. The peace here is so impressive with just the sounds of the countryside. Garden furniture is comfy and includes a parasol which we needed, although the garden is big enough to move chairs into different shaded areas. We were entertained by a buzzard, regularly flying high overhead, being mugged and discouraged by other birds. The location of the cottage is convenient for the pub which is just across the road and is dog friendly, the local shop/cafe with inside and outside seating (they have non dairy milk too!), and for walks each side of the estuary - each with made up paths leading into woodland. There’s a lovely choice of dog walks which provide opportunities for off lead fun. The village itself is absolutely beautiful with ‘chocolate box’ cottages and gorgeous gardens. Lerryn is a great base for some fantastic places to drive to and the roads, although narrow until you reach main roads, are bordered by the prettiest hedgerows full of wild flowers. We did have a mishap on our first day when the cottage door, which is quite heavy, slammed behind us and locked us out! I would suggest hiding a key outside incase!! We found we could get a signal at the top of the garden and the WIFI worked well. We loved this cottage and fell in love with Lerryn where the locals are really friendly and welcoming. There is a car park just down the road from the cottage but this is very busy during the day.

About the location

LERRYN

Lostwithiel 3 miles; Bodmin 10 miles.

For those seeking peace, tranquillity and the unspoilt splendour of Cornwall’s ‘softer’ southern coast there can be few finer spots than Lerryn. Sitting at the very point where the River Lerryn joins the highest tidal reach of a creek leading up from the Fowey estuary, the village has a timeless, natural beauty no matter the season. Footpaths meander through the woods and along the river bank while out on the water the small boats owned by local residents provide another means of travelling down stream to Fowey (3.5miles) for shopping or just something to do in wonderful surroundings. The village boasts an award winning pub/restaurant and has a small shop and post office. Nearby Lostwithiel is renowned also for its good restaurants and antique shops. The stunning Eden Project (8 miles), the Shipwreck Harbour at Charlestown, the lovely fishing village and harbour of Mevagissey, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the stately home and gardens at Lanhydrock (NT) can all be reached in under half an hour while Padstow and the rolling surf of the north coast are just over 20 miles away.

Note: Fairly steep driveway (parking for one large or two small cars; additional free parking available by village green).
