Byre

Had a fantastic stay at The Byre Lostwithiel, an idyllic location, the cottage had everything you need even extra touches from the hosts, scones with cream and jam, fresh flowers and even a bottle of wine.

The Byre was lovely.

Very clean, beautiful surroundings and environment. It is situated in a very good area to reach Bodmin or St Austell by car. I had a wonderful time although I was poorly the first few days, but as I said in the visitor’s book “what a place to be poorly in.”

Very clean and very welcoming, loved the place and the owners

We were not disappointed by our first impressions!

Amazing accommodation on a complex consisting of three properties plus the owners own house. Lovely gesture from the owners to leave some “goodies” when we arrived. The use of the field to walk the dogs in a safe environment was very much appreciated however they must be kept on the lead as there are sheep in the field although they seem to steer clear of the dogs. Very quiet setting, but not too far from Lostwithiel to get any provisions required. The owner Edward recommended The Crown pub in the next village which we found to be excellent for a drink and food. Our only regret is that we didn’t find this holiday accommodation gem years ago!

A lovely cottage just outside Lostwithiel.

Peace and quiet and beautiful countryside. The village is a short distance away, easy to walk to and with lovely coffee shops and pubs, and of course Nelly’s pies and pasties and a really amazing butchers. The cottage is perfectly placed for visiting wonderfull sites, the Eden project, Heligan gardens, St.Ives, Bodmin moor and Padstow to name just a few. I would love to visit again to do all the things we couldn’t squeeze in this time. I can highly recommend the Byre.

Had a fabulous week in Byre cottage, it helped that we were blessed with great weather.

The cottage was very well equipped with all the utensils needed for cooking etc., the only thing missing, which would have helped to open things , packets etc., was a pair of scissors, only a very minor thing.

This has been the best holiday we have had.

Proper home from home ,the most comfortable bed We have ever slept on. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay ,even Stanley the dog had the best time

We really enjoyed Byre Cottage.

Perfect for a couple! Excellent facilities, wonderful location, well maintained, lovely big walk in shower and very comfortable, particularly the super king bed. We certainly consider again.

The Byre was like home from home.

Ed was the perfect host, he greeted us & let us know he was there if we needed anything. We had a delicious cream tea left for us, milk & a nice bottle of wine. A very lovely touch. The cottage had everything you need, comfortable bed, nice sofa to relax on after a beautiful walk around Cornwall. We were in an ideal spot to visit the wonderful attractions e.g. Lost gardens of Heligan, Lanhydrock, Mevagissey, Looe & many more.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Byre.

It’s a wonderful location - tranquil, clean and well equipped. The fresh flowers and scones, jam and cream made a lovely welcome. We would highly recommend this property and we will definitely be returning.

Wonderful property in an ideal location for exploring the wider area.

Perfect hosts very helpful nothing to much for them. A real home from home. Dave and Judy

We really enjoyed our stay at The Byre.

We were made really welcome it was very clean and comfortable in an idyllic place , lots of pretty birds to watch across the way and the sheep in the field . Would highly recommend the owners are friendly but leave you to enjoy your holiday . The Byre is very cosy .

Gorgeous stone cottage set in tranquil rural location, very quiet and peaceful so a good nights sleep is guaranteed.

The cottage was very clean,comfortable, well equipped and lovely and cosy. The perfect retreat to come back to after a day out exploring the many beautiful places of interest in this delightful county. Lostwithiel is close by and has a number of eateries our favourite was the Royal Oak good food and very friendly staff. The Duchy tearooms also well with a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Byre and would definitely recommend to others . Our thanks to our hosts for a warm welcome and the many treats the wine scones, jam, clotted cream , milk and flowers so kind and thoughtful and much appreciated.

Excellent stay at the byre - accommodation quite central to that part of the country- everything you could want in the the bungalow.

Owners were great nothing too much trouble and enjoyed talking to ed about his bees. Our little dog was allowed to roam so she had a lot of freedom which she enjoys. All round excellent place

We had a lovely stay at The Byre, it is finished and presented to a high standard.

The owners are very friendly and the use of the paddock was fantastic for our labrador to burn off energy. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and wildlife is encouraged. I will definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

We really enjoyed our time at Byre, and lovely to come back to after a day out.

Beautiful surroundings which the owners appreciate and actively encourage wildlife. Ed and Nicky were there if needed - we found their advice on walks to be very useful. Coupled with information from previous visitors in the guest book, our holiday was quickly sorted. Lovely property fitted out to a good standard. Great location for exploring surrounding area. Nice area to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Thank you for the welcome goodies which we thoroughly enjoyed

The cottage has everthing you need for a relaxing holiday.

Peaceful and quiet. Ideal location for visiting many coastal resorts. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Nice Welcome pack on arrival .

Thanks Ed & Nicky . A lovely peaceful location . (close to nature). Nice to be able to have a little wander around & Feed the fish in the pond & watch the many variety of birds coming to the feeders. Also the friendly greeting off your 2 dogs. Many places to visit nearby. regards ROBERT & JULIE & sheba

Everything was thought of providing all essential things.

The cottage was immaculate and the surroundings were stunning. Very convenient to reach all other places of interest. Added bonus of cream tea and wine welcome pack.

Our second holiday here at The Byre in Lostwithiel.

We love the 'home from home' feel as the owner's, Ed & Nicky, have really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We very much liked the new sofa & armchair, very comfortable. In the kitchen the new non stick pans are of a very good quality and we are even going to buy some for ourselves! We were grateful for the welcome items such as Milk, Scones, clotted cream & Jam. The bottle of wine & the fresh flowers a very nice touch. Thank you again for a peaceful, comfortable stay at your gorgeous holiday cottage. We will be back!

Had a lovely time here .

...comfortable, quiet very relaxing...near to Lostwithiel and Bodmin amenities ......plenty of space outside to sit and garden chairs supplied plus bench table with parasol ...easy parking.....convenient for local places of interest ......dishwasher and washing machine which was a bonus ...walk in shower water always hot ....lovely place to get away from it all and enjoy nature. .Thanks for the cream tea and rather nice bottle of wine!

Owners on site, very helpful and friendly.

Lovely Cream Scone tea on arrival. Great Honey available in nice size jars. (my one problem was as I am disabled (crutches) I did find the floor a bit slippy as it was a wet holiday, but that was a chance I have to take on holidays) Everything else was there for what was needed thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Byre .

It was very comfortable and well equipped in beautiful surroundings. We were free to roam the grounds with our dog. The property is well placed for exploring lovely harbours like Charlestown ,Mevagissey, Fowey and St. Mawes. The owners were very helpful and welcoming , providing delicious cream teas on our arrival. We would go back without any hesitation !!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Byre.

The accommodation was very clean on arrival and was fully equipped for our stay. A very characterful property, new comfortable settee and chair in the lounge area, lovely walk in shower and comfy king size bed. The owners Ed & Nicky were very friendly and on hand if required. Our dogs enjoyed mooching around with Meg & Gizzie! We would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a holiday in Cornwall. Thanks again Terry & Emma Huxley

We had a great time at the Byre the cottage was clean and homely great walk-in shower very comfortable bed.

The cottage had everything you needed for a great vacation. The location is superb for discovering the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Byre and appreciated the wine, scones, jam.

cream and flowers that were there on our arrival. The cottage was perfect and was in a great location to visit National Trust properties of Lostwithiel and Cotehele and the towns of Fowey. Mevagissey and Charlestown. Edward the owner was very welcoming and had good suggestions for local hikes etc. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely property very cosy.

We'll equipped. Lovely outlook. The owner added some nice touches such as fresh flowers and a welcome pack. We had a very enjoyable holiday

Lovely Barn very comfortable can not complain all very nice lots of lovely places to visit we had a very nice time we will be coming back

Beautiful cottage, connected to another rental piece of the barn, in a stunning location.

Warm welcome with scones etc, milk, fresh flowers and WINE in the fridge! How welcoming! The sofa is terrible, should really be changed to something more comfortable,this one left us with back-ache..... even though we put all the extra pillows in it to make it a bit better. The bed was something we worried about when we first lied on it... But in the end we slept well in it! And it is HUGE!! Nevertheless, in my opinion (and reading reviews from months ago I wasn't the only one) it is time to renew it. It squiks, you feel the mattress springs and it feels as if you roll out of the bed. We saw the owner only twice short, which is fine, but gave me no change to tell him this, so I wrote it in the questbook.

Our hosts were very accommodating, on arrival we were greeted and also provided with a crème tea and a bottle of wine.

The cottage is situated in a quiet area which we found it very peaceful. It is not far from the main A30 and A390 which made it easy to get around would highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit.

This our second visit to Byre Cottage.

The location and comfort of the cottage works very well for us. The Owners are very friendly and welcoming. We've had 2 lovely weeks spent at Byre and would recommend a stay there.

We highly recommend this cottage, it benefits a quiet, off-road setting, within walking distance of the amenities in Lostwithiel.

On arrival we were welcomed with a freshly baked cream tea, complimentary bottle of wine and flowers, which was a lovely touch! The cottage was clean, homely and well appointed with a touch of quality. It is a perfect setting for dogs, our two settled instantly and loved running around in the paddock, which is in the grounds. The owners are very friendly and accomodating, ensuring you have everything you need. It is an excellent base for lots of walks in this beautiful part of Cornwall!

A very peaceful and secluded spot, ideal for visiting the Mid Cornwall area, Fowey, Padstow, Polzeath and Polperro and many beaches within easy reach.

The cream tea on arrival was a welcome treat along with the bottle of wine was a great start to the holiday.

We had a lovely welcome both from the owner and the welcome pack.

The cottage is clean and in a peaceful setting. However, we were very uncomfortable when we were in the cottage. The suite is low and has no support and we couldn’t get comfortable in the evening. The bed is a great size which is something we always look for and we did sleep ok but again it is past it’s best. We like the location but will not be staying again unless the suite is updated. The signal on the TV was intermittent but that didn’t bother us as we don’t watch a lot of TV. Just to note Byre and Wagon House both have the same furniture. Kind regards

Thank you for a lovely welcome cream tea & wine, what a treat.

The Byre is an ideal place to stay for a couple. It is like home from home, everything you need is there & it’s very spacious with lovely views. It is in an ideal spot to all the places we wanted visit while in Cornwall. We would not hesitate to recommend & make a return visit ourselves. One little thing that could make the stay even better would be a higher more supportive sofa for the older generation, but it does not take away what a great little place it is.

This has to be one of the nicest place I’ve ever stayed at .

Lovely place! It’s clear the owners put lots of effort into making their guests welcome and keeping their properties well maintained. The accommodation is in a beautiful setting on their grounds ,and in a great location to explore the surrounding area. It’s clean, bright and spacious which together with being well appointed makes it a comfortable & stress free place to stay.

Fantastic stay at Brye cottage, greeted with cream tea, bottle of wine and fresh milk.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. Very clean and in a lovely peaceful location. Only thing we found was the bed wasn't very comfortable. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

The property was just as expected from the prior information.

We also much appreciated the cream tea and wine which were left for us, together with several other small but welcome small touches. What was omitted from the details was the welcome we had to walk around the owners' fields around the holiday properties. All in all, we had a very enjoyable country break.

Fantastic place to stay, very quiet and in a great position.

Accommodation very nice, very clean and the host was very friendly. A nice bottle of Cornish Wine and Cream Tea on arrival which was very nice indeed. The location was ideal as a short distance to Fowey and Looe on the South Coast and not far from Padstow on the North. We had a great time and would definitely recommend a holiday here.

Great 2 weeks at the Byre everything as expected my one criticism would be lack of sanitizer and bleach for the bathroom anyone who visits this property are in for a treat a visit to the pond to feed the fish is a must.

Would recommend this property anytime

Had a wonderfully peaceful stay at Byre.

The owners were very welcoming with a cream tea and bottle of local wine waiting for our arrival. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with large bed and all mod cons including a dishwasher.Lovely gardens and fields to exercise our dog. Couldn't fault this cottage and would be very happy to recommend .

Cottage set in beautiful surroundings.

A peaceful retreat.

Lovely cottage set on a farmstead.

Will be booking again.

Beautiful Cottage - very well designed - the hosts were very friendly and helpful with things to do - dog friendly was the bonus

Good location nice and quiet,Ed and Nicky very nice and helpful, welcome pack most acceptable, nice touch, would go again and recommend it to others.

A beautiful place for a relaxing break.

Byre was exactly as advertised, very clean and with everything needed for a safe catering holiday inc a washing machine. Nicky and Edward friendly hosts there if you needed them, the welcoming cream tea and bottle of wine waiting on arrival very well received. Would highly recommend the Byre if you are looking for a relaxing break in a home from home feeling.

Beautiful cottage in stunning location.

Exceptional hosts. Ideally situated to explore the area.

The cottage was lovely.

Great location and the description on the web site was accurate. We arrived to a spotlessly clean cottage with gifts of local wine and a cream tea as well as basics of tea coffee and milk . So lovely and thoughtful. The location is a great base for sightseeing on both the south and north coast of Cornwall. Some great walks around Lostwithiel too. The walk to Lerryn is especially rewarding and you can visit the Ship Inn for a drink. Everyone really friendly in these testing Covid times . We will be re booking for next year

The Byre was ideal with all the facilities and comfort you needed.

Edward and Nick we’re friendly and very helpful. The welcome of scones, cream and jam did not go uneaten!! The Cornish wine was great with the bbq! The setting is lovely, with a large paddock we walked the dog, Ralphie, around. Everything was spot-on.

Wonderful stay at the Byre cottage near Lostwithiel - very peaceful, comfortable and clean.

Excellent hosts - wine and scones on arrival a lovely touch!

As we have never gone back to a holiday home before, the fact that we decided to return to the Byre is a measure of how well we thought of it.

Just as good as the first time!

A very comfortable cottage in peaceful pleasant surroundings, Owners welcoming and helpful.

Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday in beautiful area.

Lovely cottage and hosts Edward and Nicky.

A great position in Cornwall to explore most places from. Would highly recommend.

this was a last minute booking due to our early holiday this year spoilt by the British weather.

So saw this cottage with just the week we needed ideal. The directions we received to find the cottage were spot on. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect holiday .Edward and his wife had left us a lovely cream tea and a bottle of local wine .This was our first visit to this part of Cornwall its close to the likes of padstow and rock we even went to look for doc martin in port issac.Then there,s Bodmin,St Austall and we even got to Falmouth.Bodmin for all your main supermarkets just 5 miles away.The town of lostwithiel just down the hill with old world charm and a butchers with blackpuddings to die for even if it did come all the way from the north of Scotland.I found this cottage to be a jem trouble is now by telling everyone how good it was come next year booked up ,never mind it was well worth the long drive

The Byre was a really lovely holiday let and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there.

We would recommend this place to anyone thinking of holidaying in that part of Cornwall.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had all the necessary facilities.

It was also in a fantastic location which guaranteed a peaceful break whist admiring the beautiful countryside!

Very comfortable cottage had everything needed lovely cream tea & Cornish wine as a welcome.

A huge range of information was provided on local area including lots of maps & walking info. Very helpful owners. Many thanks

Beautiful and comfortable accommodation with everything we could need.

We were greeted with a cream tea, plus fresh flowers and a bottle of Cornish wine, which was much appreciated. Our hosts were very helpful with ideas of where to visit. We also enjoyed meeting their lovely animals and pets.

This is a wonderful property in a fantastic location.

The cottage is fully equipped to a high standard, exceptionally comfortable and very peaceful. It was lovely to arrive to a very warm welcome of freshly baked scones and clotted cream. The property owners also added other thoughtful touches such a fresh flowers and wine in the fridge. Very conveniently situated and highly recommended.

Chairs in lounge area not very comfortable.

Lovely property.

Set in really nice countryside setting. Very pleasant helpful yet unobtrusive owners. The property and facilities were of a high standard. Definitely recommended.

Lovely cottage in perfect setting.

The owners and their pets are wonderful. The cream tea and wine on arrival was very welcoming too. I have already told friends and family what a lovely place it is to stay. Also very central to I visit all parts of Cornwall. Perfect location. We really hope to be able to return in the future.

A very well appointed cottage that more than met our expectations.

Our dog was also made very welcome with very few restrictions on where she could roam. We'd certainly return there when an opportunity arises.

First there was the major mix up over the booking which took far too long to resolve; including your staff using a mobile number when asked to use our landline.

AND not getting back to us as arranged. Then we asked for single beds and on arrival the Byre owner and I had to change the zip link bed around to two singles.

Very friendly owners who live on site if needed.

Very well equipped, clean and comfortable.

Beautiful location in a beautiful part of the country.

So peaceful but quite central for sightseeing and travelling to towns and the sea. Lovely hosts made us welcome. Will be returning next year

The perfect holiday location with the perfect hosts.

Can’t wait to return again.

Everything we needed was supplied, lovely peaceful rural surroundings but only 4 minutes by car from the town at the bottom of the hill.

Very clean and comfortable, a perfect base for exploring this part of Cornwall.

Everything was great, I cannot see how you could improve, you have it exactly as it should be

Excellent facilites.

Very comfortable. Good location. Would recommend Byre to others

Beautiful and comfortable cottage.

Idyllic location. Friendly hosts. This was our second visit and we are already planning our third.

Edward was away when we arrived but everything was as he had said on the phone.

When back came to welcome us. All was as said and he was vey helpful with walks and knowledge.
