“The owners were very welcoming and accommodating without crowding us .”

The cottage could do with a few basics such as salt and a few basics would have been welcome on arrival after a six hour journey although we did have sachets of coffeee and sugar but no milk or bread !

The cottage could do with a few basics such as salt and a few basics would have been welcome on arrival after a six hour journey although we did have sachets of coffeee and sugar but no milk or bread ! A bottle of wine was left for us a big plus ! The pool was lovely and the cottage looked very the upstairs was only suitable for children we were not really informed of this until we arrived so my sister had to crawl to get dressed and the stairs were very steep however saying all of that we would definitely recommend them to a family and the dog really enjoyed his time there too ! ***Owners response*** Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Cider Cottage. We've spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned in order to help yourselves and reassure future guests. We were very sorry to hear that milk and salt were not left at Cider Cottage for your arrival, we always thrive to provide lots of extras for our guests which would normally include milk and sea salt. We can only assume on this occasion these items were overlooked, for which we apologise, had you let us know during your stay we would have been more than happy to provide these for you. We are also sorry that you were not aware of the upstairs bedroom layout, we do state in the description on both of our websites that the upstairs room is set into the eaves and we also advise of a 4'7'' height restriction. We are pleased to hear that despite the points raised you enjoyed your stay at Cider Cottage. The feedback we receive for Cider Cottage is overwhelmingly positive and we are confident that any issues highlighted are a one off.

“Generally a good visit although cottage is in need of updating.”

Great swimming pool and location and very peaceful. The bed was a small double with a very soft mattress so not ideal as we are used to something bigger and a lot firmer. Sofas are also a little tired. Generally well equipped kitchen which is functional but again could do with an update. Cottage is very dark and sits under a large tree so very little natural light into the property. The rear windows look onto a horse field which I don't think is owned by the cottage owners. The field is badly maintained so you look out onto horse poo, weeds and metal fencing. For the £750 paid for this rental I was hoping for a bit more.

The property

Situated in the Looe Valley in the peaceful hamlet of Trewidland in the lovely grounds of Trehalvin is this delightful cottage.

Cider Cottage is an idyllic countryside retreat close to the exclusive waterside town of Looe (5miles), the charming fishing port of Polperro (9 miles) and Whitsand Bay (11 miles) and benefits from a shared 40ft outdoor heated swimming pool complete with a southerly facing patio and garden with a pond and water fountain. Approached along a leafy drive it inhabits a private corner on the grounds away from the Georgian country house occupied by the owner's and offers a private and enclosed patio and the shared use of a large meadow overlooking scenic countryside and woodlands that is suitable for ball games, exercising dogs and is equipped with a children's swing and picnic tables.

Ideally located for exploring the diverse coastline of the Cornish Riviera, the expansive surfing beaches at Whitsand Bay, Seaton and Downderry, the secluded sheltered cove at Lantic Bay and the scenic South West footpath are within a short drive.

Fowey is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and holds a special interest for visitors of all ages whilst the vibrant naval city of Plymouth, the awe inspiring gardens at the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the National Trust owned Lanhydrock, Cotehele and Antony House present opportunities to string together a varied and memorable holiday experience.

An idyllic rural retreat, Cider Cottage is an excellent choice for couples and the second bedroom set into the eaves is particularly loved by children.

Beautifully furnished, the rustic character and charm of this converted stone farm building is thoughtfully balanced with the comforts of modern living, providing plump settees, high quality mattresses, full central heating and a traditional wood burner.

There is ample parking.

About the location

LOOE

Liskeard 9 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.

Note: steep stairs to twin bedroom. Children must be supervised.
Note: Limited headroom upstairs (4'7"/140cm)
Note: The heated swimming pool and adjoining garden and patio is shared between guests at Trehalvin and is open from May to September. Children must be supervised at all times.
