Charnwood

Charnwood is a comfortable, two-bedroomed cottage located in the pretty Cornish village of Lewannick. Sleeping four people, the cottage is an ideal base for families and couples wanting to explore the Cornwall coast and countryside. With all the accommodation on the ground floor, it's also a great choice for those with limited mobility.

Walking in through the front door, the hallway leads off to the kitchen, lounge, family bathroom and the two bedrooms - one with a king sized double and the other arranged as a twin.

The kitchen comes well-equipped for a self catering stay: There is a handy table seating four as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer. All the amenities are provided for guests to cook up a feast.

The cosy living room has two comfy sofas and a lovely log burning stove which will keep guests toasty in the Autumn and Winter months. The large French doors in the lounge let the light in and they lead off to the patio and grassed garden area with its quirky Christmas tree planted in the centre. Please note the garden is not enclosed as it wraps around the house with no gates on either side while the garage contains owner's possessions and is off-limits to guests.

There is private off-road parking on the driveway for two cars.

Charnwood is situated in Lewannick which is a pretty village, a mile off the A30 road which runs through the heart of Cornwall making it very handy to access. The village itself has a shop and Post Office, a pub, church, doctor's surgery and garage. The property itself is situated on a quiet residential street and only a few hundred meters and a couple of minute's stroll from the centre of the village. The Archer's Arms in the village is a traditional pub serving hearty pub food.

The cottage is a perfect location from which to explore Cornwall from - further afield from the village guests will enjoy day trips to Tintagel and Port Isaac on the North Coast and Portwrinkle and Looe on the South Coast. For golfers, the local course at Trethorne Golf Club only 3 minutes up the road welcomes visiting players.

Nice place to stay, with off-street parking.

Clean warm and had what we needed. Had to look for more toilet paper and there was no hand soap in the bathroom.

Clean spacious accommodation with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Perfect accommodation for exploring the area, as you are near the main A30 The only thing I would change is the key box - just needs some attention

Great value and a lot of nice touches

Beautiful bungalow very well equipped with a lovely welcome gift of scones jam and cream. Lots of coffee and tea provided. Good parking right by the door. Large garden . Shower in the bath two of us couldn’t use it because it meant climbing over to get in bath.

Me and the kids loved our three nights at this Lewannick bungalow.

Clean, with nice dbl rm and nice twin room. Wood burner for cosiness, and outstanding walks to be had on Twelve Men’s Moor, the southeastern corner of Bodmin Moor. We were visiting relatives in a neighboring village. We also had a day out in Newquay, which after the A30 improvements is an hour tops. Bravo this nice little property.

The bungalow was like home from home

Vicky the housekeeper is amazing, nothing was to much trouble for her. Everything you need is in the bungalow, a great location for exploring Cornwall & Devon. Had problems finding the place, but a call to Finest Retreats had us finding it in minutes. We'll definitely be returning next time we holiday in Cornwall.

This was the perfect base.

5 mins from the A30 meaning you can get anywhere pretty quickly and efficiently. The house had everything you could need, including comfy beds and lush bath. The kitchen came with a full sized fridge and a separate freezer. If we knew this ahead of time we would have maximised this! Amazing base for a trip touring around Cornwall. Would happily recommend this to anyone.

Perfect

Cottage exactly as described. Was clean, plenty of crockery cooking utensils etc. Lovely garden, really enjoyed the birdsong and watching activity on the feeder. Location of cottage perfect for ease of exploring. Would recommend and would look to book again. Both the property owner and Vicky the caretaker really helpful and the welcome pack on arrival a pleasant and welcome surprise.

Charnwood

The good level of comfort of the house - had everything you needed. Vicki was a great help settling us in....made it easy. The inclusion of local scones, cream and milk was a nice touch. Having a clothes washer and dryer was great and much appreciated. The location suited us as we were central to then drive all over Cornwall. Just little things - put the WiFi code in the house manual, increase the shower water pressure if possible, have loo paper and shower soap for guests entire stay and use less high-fragrance cleaning products. The Queen mattress sinks on one side so it needs flipping over or replacing.

Lovely quiet yet Central location for getting around Cornwall

Lovely quiet yet Central location for getting around Cornwall. Sadly we never cold enough to get the wood burner going, but lovely to hear the bird song in the morning No wi-fi, but as it was purely a rest stop place, this want really an issue.

A hidden gem

An ideal holiday home! Quiet, cosy & welcoming, after a days explorations we felt like coming back home. The fireplace was perfect on a cold evening, the location great for exploring both coasts of East Cornwall, the king size bed just right. The manager Vicky was really helpful and accommodating, she even offered assistance when our car broke down (luckily it was only a flat batt). We were impressed how she managed to make the place spotlessly clean despite the blackout (we arrived in the wake of strom Eunice that wrecked the county, the power came back half an hour before our arrival). The owner cared to contact us to check if we had everything we needed and gave plenty useful advice. Wish we could stay long enough to explore the book collection, certainly not the kind you find in a usual holiday home. The thing we liked the best though was a bunch of fresh flowers awaiting us on arrival... really made our day! Do not trust the sat nav! It led us to a parallel road and if it wasn't for Vicky who lives few doors down and came out to collect us we'd be looking for the address all night! Back to the point, there was absolutely nothing we didn't like. Our stay was perfect and we're hoping this wasn't the last time.

- Lovely clean detached bungalow in an excellent location for exploring Devon and Cornwall - Well equipped kitchen - Nice modern bathroom - Great room sizes - The double mattress in the main bedroom was extremely soft, maybe it&#39s due a replacement - The kitchen knives could do with a sharpen - No Wi-Fi, though the Internet via our mobiles was OK if a little patchy at times
