About this property
This gorgeous thatched detached cottage is situated down a no-through lane in the Lewtrenchard Valley a mile from Lewdown. Surrounded by trees and close to the River Lew, it is a lovely base for couples or families with older children. The entrance porch leads you into the charming sitting room with its beams and cosy open fire, heading on through to the dining room where you can enjoy delicious meals prepared in the well equipped kitchen. Stairs lead up to two pretty bedrooms for peaceful sleeps. The garden is beautiful, a tranquil place to sit on the bench or at the table, and you can store your bikes in the shed. For wonderful dining, stroll to the renowned Lewtrenchard Manor Hotel or enjoy informal suppers at the village inn. Lydford Gorge is a dramatic natural beauty spot managed by the National Trust to visit, or you can enjoy brilliant walks from the doorstep of the cottage. Roadford Lake is excellent for walking, cycling or all types of water sports and Dingles Steam Village is a heady dose of fairground nostalgia. Lew Quarry Cottage is a magical cottage for relaxing or enjoying outdoor activities.
Lifton is a small village in the upper Tamar Valley, close to Launceston and the passing A30 road into Cornwall. This pretty community, once sitting astride the old A30 London to Penzance trunk road, is blessed with a village shop and post office, a superb pub and 3 top quality restaurants.

Hilary
A real home-from-home for us. Thank you, Jeanie and Eva for doing so much to help us and make our stay such a blessing to us. Thank you to the owners for making the cottage available and being willing to share it with others. There is something really special about this place. Maybe it being on the estate of Rev Baring-Gould? Part of his legacy?
