Little Oaklands

About this property

Situated between the picturesque riverside village of Lerryn and the historic town of Lostwithiel is Little Oaklands, a delightful two-bedroom semi-detached holiday let. Enjoying a superb, rural location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a quiet country lane, Little Oaklands provides a tranquil setting but is not far from Lerryn and Lostwithiel for pubs, dining out or for essentials. Little Oaklands is a wonderful dog-friendly, base for couples or a family of four with a superb, very large garden. Leave your vehicle in one of two off-road parking spaces adjacent to your accommodation. Step into the well-equipped kitchen, which features a dishwasher and washing machine, here you can impress your guests with delicious home-cooked meals ready to enjoy at the dining table for four. If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on your private decking, or on the picnic bench on the large private lawn? The picturesque village of Lerryn is just a short drive away. Set beside the tidal River Lerryn, upstream from the popular town of Fowey, there are riverside footpaths and woods to explore and easy launching for kayaks and stand-up paddle boards from the riverbank at high tide. The village of Lerryn nestles in a wooded valley where an ancient stone bridge spans the river and steppingstones appear at low tide. The ancient town of Lostwithiel (1.7 miles) is a thriving small town with the River Fowey running through it. Lostwithiel has many craft, antique and boutique shops, along with supermarket, butchers, deli, cafes, pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The coastline is close by with unspoilt, secret beaches and coves such as Lantic Bay and Lansallos beach 6.4 miles away. Other nearby attractions include South West Coast path, Eden Project (7.6 miles), Lost Gardens of Heligan (11 miles) and many National Trust properties and gardens such as Lanhydrock (4 miles). Further afield, you will find the bustling town of Fowey, home to the Fowey Aquarium, St Catherine’s Castle, the National Trust site of Fowey Estaury and the stunning Readymoney Cove. Little Oaklands is an ideal base from which to explore Cornwall’s beautiful countryside and coast.

Neighboring woodlands and meadows provide a tranquil setting for this little, rural village in Cornwall's Fowey Valley. There are numerous antiques shops and dealers in the town, as well as a plethora of rural taverns, restaurants, and a bustling farmer's market. Only three miles separate Lanhydrock House & Gardens (NT) from the fantastic Boconnoc House, Eden Project, Shipwreck Museum and Tall Ships Harbour (Charlestown), as well as the charming fishing communities of Mevagissey, Fowey, and Padstow, all of which feature world-famous Rick Stein restaurants. You may enjoy a day out in Newquay's famous crashing Atlantic surf, along with long sandy beaches, stunning shoreline and river canoeing in the north coast. There are also opportunities for hiking, biking and leisurely walks in the vicinity. Activities like tug of war, Carnival, and seagull outboard motor racing are also popular among the locals. The river Fowey flows 8 miles from the town to the softer southern shore, a natural paradise for those who adore the sea. It passes through meadows and wooded slopes. Losswithiel is a great option for anyone looking for a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the popular tourist destinations in Cornwall.
