Church View Cottage

Church View Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage in Lanreath, a small village in south Cornwall set in rolling countryside between Looe and Lostwithiel. The property occupies a village position near the 15th-century church of St Marnarch, with its carved Norman font and rood screen.

The cottage has a double bedroom with basin, a twin room, and a bunk bedroom. A single bathroom serves all three rooms, with bath, walk-in shower, and heated towel rail. The sitting room has an electric fire, and the kitchen-diner is fitted for self-catering. A separate external utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.

A rear courtyard provides outdoor space, and a front patio has furniture for sitting out. Off-road parking fits 2 vehicles, with additional garage space. Lansallos Beach - a remote cove with clear water for swimming and snorkelling, reached only by footpath - is 3.7 miles south. Talland Bay, a dog-friendly cove between Looe and Polperro with calm water and two beach cafes, is 4.3 miles away.

Lanreath sits equidistant between the south coast and Bodmin Moor. Looe and Polperro are about 15 minutes south by car. The Jubilee Inn, a 16th-century village pub, is 0.4 miles from the door. Fowey and the Eden Project are both within a 20-minute drive.

Nearby: Lansallos Beach (3.7 miles) and Talland Bay (4.3 miles). See our Lanreath guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for families with children needing the bunk room and groups wanting a countryside base between Looe and Bodmin Moor; less suited to those wanting ensuite privacy, since a single bathroom serves all three bedrooms.
