Chy Lowenna

Chy Lowenna is a detached ground-floor cottage on Rosecraddoc Holiday Village, a small complex near the market town of Liskeard in east Cornwall. Every room is on the ground floor.

Inside, three bedrooms - one double, one twin, and one single - accommodate up to five. A shower room serves the property. The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining area, and sitting room, with electric storage and convector heating throughout. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Parking is available for two cars. There is no Wi-Fi. One well-behaved pet is welcome, with a supplement of £25 per week.

A patio with outdoor furniture looks onto the shared grounds of the holiday village, giving space to sit out in warmer months. The nearest coast is at Plaidy Beach, 8.5 miles south near Looe - a sheltered, dog-friendly stretch with rock pools. East Looe Beach, a sandy town beach, is 9 miles away.

Liskeard itself sits at the head of the Looe Valley, with the scenic branch-line railway running 9 miles down to Looe harbour. Stuart House, a 16th-century museum and arts centre, and a weekly farmers' market give the town a quiet draw of its own. The Eden Project is roughly 15 miles to the west.

Nearby: Plaidy Beach (8.7 miles) and East Looe Beach (9.3 miles). See our St Cleer guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a family wanting an all-ground-floor cottage with a patio and parking for two cars. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less suited to those wanting a coastal base, since the nearest beach is over eight miles away.
