2 Old Talbot Cottages

A wonderful place to stay.

Plenty of space for our family to relax, cook and share a meal especially with the option to eat either inside or outside. The house was very well equipped with a modern appliances which took the stress out of our stay. The location was perfect for us too, lots of things to do locally and had a fantastic time exploring the area. We definitely want to book again for a longer stay. Thank you!

Wendy and Dan were amazing.

They made our stay in Lostwithiel easy and relaxed. When I was worried about my kids escaping the back garden, I emailed them and Dan had put up a gate within hours of my email. We plan to come back in a few years and we WILL be staying with Wendy and Dan again! Thank you!!!

Lovely home from home, holiday accommodation.

Comfortable & welcoming, with plenty of parking. Lostwithiel is an amazing historical town, with plenty of choice if looking for somewhere to eat. My favourites....The Kings Arms, which does a fantastic Sunday lunch. And, also The Globe ( Almost tucked away & easy to miss ) has a lovely restaurant, boasting a menu with mouthwatering classics. A walk by the tranquil & picturesque river is a must, & if the tide is out, the little sandy beach is enjoyed by families with children. There are picnic tables there too, ideal for sitting enjoying the Cornish sunshine, & an ice cream from the shop across the road.

We enjoyed our stay, there’s plenty of space and attention has been given to making the place feel homely.

The kitchen was well equipped, the best I’ve ever come across in holiday accommodation. There wasn’t anything I needed that I couldn’t find. The only thing that would put us off returning is the position, the cottage is situated on the busiest road/junction in Lostwithiel making it noisy at times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at number 2 - it had all the comforts and amenities needed for our stay.

The house was perfectly located to make the most of the lovely town and for travelling further afield by train.

Brilliant cottage!

Beautifully decorated and equipped with all necessities we would need. Fab location, close to all amenities and attractions. Loved Lostwithiel and the amazing castle. Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage.

Very well equipped, plenty of room for parking, very comfy beds and a great shower with lots of hot water. Friendly little town with local amenities, good pubs and central location for exploring Cornwall. Plenty of walks and fun things to do near-by including Fowey, where we enjoyed early morning and late evening swimming at Readymoney Beach! Not a fault of the cottage (a fan is provided and the windows are double glazed so not an issue when closed), but as it’s on the main road it is quite noisy at 4am when farm traffic goes through each morning - we had the window open as the evenings were very warm! We were lucky enough to be there during Lostwithiel carnival week and really enjoyed the community celebrations and joyful atmosphere.

Very well equipped with lovely furnishings way above expectations even from photos.

Everything was top quality,situated in a lovely town,very central to South cornwall,six miles from sea

The property was very clean and in a very good location with restaurants and pub in just walking distance.

Had a very comfortable stay and loved the decor. I would highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed our week in Cornwall staying at 2 Old Talbot Cottages.

The property was immaculate on arrival and appeared to lack nothing that we needed. The one issue that we spotted, which clearly only occurred recently, was rectified the next day. There are numerous dining options in Lostwithiel, particularly the Royal Oak almost immediately opposite. Additionally St Austell and other harbour villages are a short drive from this central location as is the Dutch of Cornwall Nursery & Café. Please be aware that the proximity to the main A390 does give rise to some inevitable traffic noise if the double glazed windows are open. Overall, we would definitely stay here again if we were coming back to the area.

We have now stayed in 2 Old Talbot Cottages twice and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

It's well equipped, comfortable and perfectly located for us when visiting family in the St Austell/St Blazey areas. The pubs and restaurants around Lostwithiel are also lovely - and slightly less touristy than in some other areas. All in all a great stay again, Thanks!

A perfect place to stay.

I live locally and booked for a family visit. My niece and family enjoyed their stay. The cottage is clean and comfortable, has everything needed for a family stay. Central location only a short walk from shops and the railway station. Private parking. Will definitely recommend to friends and use again for family visitors.

A really nice comfortable cottage near the centre of Lostwithiel.

Really felt like home. As well as being in walking distance of shops and other amenities, it was well-positioned for visiting the wider area, with the Eden Project, Fowey, Landhydrock and Bodmin only a short drive away. It is also within walking distance of a train station so you don't need to be reliant on a car. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we could possibly need. A note to the owner if they read this - the bottle opener is not working and needs replacing. Comfortable beds and a powerful shower, though I personally would have liked the shower to have been slightly hotter, even if that was at the expense of some power. Really lovely walking country with plenty of walks right from the door. Would be happy to return.

Really accommodating owners.

Cottage had everything we needed & was in a great location. On-site parking a great bonus in Lostwithiel.

A high quality property, which as been very well equipped and maintained.

It was a pleasure to meet the owners and we were made to feel extremely welcome. Thank you for a great stay.

It was a lovely experience from start to finish.

As soon as I stepped in, I felt at ease. Comfortable beds, huge shower and a well equipped kitchen added to the appeal. The village around the corner had everything one needs, big Co-op, pharmacy, fish & chip shop, ice cream shop, nice restaurants, bridge with it's own pebble beach and river running through, massive playground, very quaint and idyllic. We also had the pleasure of meeting the hosts and they were so charming and friendly. Perfect family home for five and I wished I stayed longer. I would love to come back again.

Thank you, this was a lovely property to stay in.

It was very clean, well finished and fully equipped. Parking and outdoor space is ample. There were lots of thoughtful touches that made sure we had everything we needed to have a confortable stay. It is on a busy road, but very close to a range of good local amenities as well as several of the main Cornish attractions. It's a very easy walk to get a train to Penzance/St Ives and north to Cardiff. This is a hidden gem.

’This was my second visit to 2 old talbot cottage.

I returned for a longer stay as I was so impressed by both the cottage and the area when I stayed in Dec 2023 Upon arriving in June 2024 I was pleased to find that the landlords had added a considerable outdoor seating area with wonderful views of the historic town of Lostwithiel. I would recommend a stay here as there is ample parking, a large high pressure shower in a clean, modern, well appointed cottage. It is also situated in ideal location from which to explore the wider area, which offers a range of activities to suit all interests. I was lucky enough to run into the landlords while they were preparing the cottage next door and they were professional, very friendly and were genuinely interested in ensuring the cottage provided me a with pleasant, relaxing stay in a wonderful location

A stunning cottage very well equipped thoughtfully furnished and extremely comfortable ,would love to go back

Beautifully clean and very well equipped.

Lovely cottage with all you need and very central for exploring Cornwall. We didn't take our dog but if you do you would need to check the gate is shut before letting it outside. Great to have the off road parking.

Our second time staying here.

It’s like home from home. Everything you could need and so comfy and clean. Lostwithiel is a lovely place to stay and explore. I would definitely recommend a stay here

Difficult to find any fault with this property, everything has been thought of and there are some very nice extras including bottle of wine and dog treats on arrival The quality of the furnishings is excellent and it is very well equipped One observation though, it would definitely benefit from some form of blinds or netting at windows as there is very little privacy from people outside

We had a lovely stay at old talbot cottages.

It was perfect for our family with a stair gate and high chair all set up for us when we arrived. The house was very comfortable with everything we needed including some board games and toys for the kids. We also found the email with local info and tips very helpful. The local curry house was delicious, as were the butcher’s pasties and the kids loved splashing in the shallow river in the village. Also recommend the ice cream shop. Can’t wait to come back.

2 Talbot Cottages is a fabulous property - very comfortable, lovely decor and very clean.

It has everything that you would need. Our group immediately felt at home there. It’s a great location for touring, particularly close to The Eden Project. Roads over to Newquay and down to Looe are good too. I would definitely recommend the property and our hosts were very helpful.

What a beautiful place.

Such a clean comfortable cottage. Very thoughtful little extras. We all felt at home and situated in a lovely area. Central to many places. Thank you letting us share you home. We had a fantastic time!!!

Just perfect.

Clean, well equipped, comfy beds and great to have off road parking.... there is even a pub/restaurant a short stroll away. Would happily go back again

This cottage is light, bright and modern inside yet still provides a cosy feel.

The owners welcomed us with a bottle of wine and the invitation to arrive earlier than stated once the changeover was complete. We appreciated all the little extras in terms of equipment that are really helpful on a self-catering holiday. Lostwithiel is central for the visits we needed to make to the South, North and West coasts so an ideal location It was carnival week while we were there and we thoroughly enjoyed the jazz band playing in the pub across the road. I would definitely recommend this comfortable accommodation to other families. Karen.

Great location with private parking which is hard to find in Lostwithiel.

The property was clean and comfortable, having everything we could need for a week's stay. Lovely, well appointed, kitchen diner, lots of comfy seating in the living room. Very comfortable beds with duvets that were just the right tog for the season. Some great local pubs. Just a 2 minute walk to the recreation ground, and in the car park of the community centre some great pizza on Mondays and Mexican food on Fridays.

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished, in great location.

Chose Lostwithiel as a base for exploring the area, but it turned out to be a really interesting town to stay in, with a lot of history. Worth revisiting. Met the owners who were friendly and helpful.

The property is extremely well appointed, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and situated in a charming village in a beautiful county.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

Extremely comfortable with everything you need.

Just a short distance to some of the loveliest beaches and so lovely to return to each evening. For people with children and dogs it’s a must. We thoroughly enjoyed our break.

Just Lovely!

Welcoming & warm, clean & extremely generously equipped. Comfortable and beautifully decorated very homely and practical. Lovely walks had in Carlyon Bay & Pentewen with dog. Explored Mevigissey, Fowey & Looe. With a warm cosy return to the cottage with shops, takeaways, pubs etc on the doorstep and river walk and palk area a real bonus for the children. We would love to return and recommend to families. The owners really have provided a fantastically comfortable home and it’s in a perfect location to explore.

We loved our stay at 2 Old Talbot Cottages - in fact, we were so happy with our stay that we didn't want to leave!

We will definitely book the cottage again. Thank you

A great location and property for larger parties with both cottages.

We booked this cottage as it met our particular requirements.

This is the best Sykes holiday home we have used. Clean, good kitchen equipment, nice large bedrooms and a decent shower. Lostwithiel is an underrated town, lots of nice walks and a really nice pub the Royal Oak just across the road, with easy access to Looe, Fowey etc

We couldn’t have wished for a nicer holiday cottage.

It was spotless, comfy and homely. So many nice touches. Very well equipped. The owners were lovely and helpful. The area of Lostwithiel is beautiful we wish we had more time to see it all. We will be back.

Had a really nice week.

Its very central to explore surrounding area. The town has everything that you need. The cottage was great, a real home from home. Was very clean and had high quality finishes which made a big difference. Had everything we needed. We would recommend to anyone and are also hoping to book a return at some point.
