Rowan Cottage

Rowan Cottage is a semi-detached 1-bedroom property in Lanreath village, sleeping 2 in a king-size bed. The layout puts the bedroom and en-suite shower room on the ground floor, with the kitchen and open-plan living space upstairs - a typical arrangement in converted Cornish stone buildings. Exposed stonework and a beamed ceiling are visible throughout the upper floor. Outside, the cottage has a private patio and access to a shared top garden. Parking and Wi-Fi are included.

Lansallos Beach is 6km away - a NT-managed cove with no facilities and access via a wooded valley path. Talland Bay is 6.9km and has a cafe and pub. Looe, with its fishing harbour, seafront fish-and-chip shops, and the Blue Reef Aquarium, is within easy reach by road.

The Punchbowl Inn, established in 1620, is in the village and recently refurbished. Lanreath itself is a small, quiet village - practical as a base if you prefer countryside over town, with easy driving to both east and south Cornwall coasts.

Best for couples looking for a simple, affordable inland base within reach of multiple beaches without paying beach-village prices. From £814 per week. Good for those who like quiet village life and don't mind a short drive to reach the coast. 10 guest reviews, rated 4.5 out of 5. Suits walkers using the south-west coast path, which is accessible from both Lansallos and Talland Bay. Less good for anyone wanting direct sea views, a large kitchen, or extensive outdoor space. Saturday changeover.
