Skylarks Cottage

Skylarks Cottage is a one-bedroom, split-level cottage for two in a rural complex at East Taphouse, a village on the A390 between the market towns of Liskeard and Lostwithiel, both about 15 minutes away by car. The king-size bedroom and one bathroom suit a couple, and a wood burner gives the living space a focal point. Dogs are welcome, and the garden and barbecue provide outdoor space.

Walks start from the doorstep, and Bodmin Moor is about 10 minutes' drive north for open moorland. A washing machine is included for longer stays. The lounge has a Smart TV, and a private enclosed front garden has a patio and garden furniture. The king-size bedroom on the first floor has Velux windows, and the kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a fridge/freezer.

The nearest beaches are some distance away by car: Lansallos Beach is 6.8 miles, Talland Bay 6.9 miles and East Looe Beach 7.1 miles. Looe, Polperro and Fowey are all within a reasonable drive south, while the Dobwalls Adventure Park, with zip wires and a miniature railway, is about 3 miles east near Liskeard.

**Best for:** A couple with a dog wanting a wood burner, garden and inland walking base between two coasts.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting a beach within walking distance, or anyone requiring step-free access.
