Lodge Barton

Holiday cottages to let in Cornwall

LODGE BARTON is a smallholding set in a peaceful valley edged by woodland, near St Keyne, Cornwall, yet it is just two minutes drive into the delightful market town of Liskeard.

The cottages have recently been converted from stone barns. They have exposed beams, whitewashed stone walls and high ceilings. There is a woodburner in each cottage, easy to work and cosy in the evenings. Owl Cottage (sleeps 5), has oak floors and Kettle Cottage (sleeps 2+2), has tiled floors, covered with lots of pretty rugs. The feeling created is light, luxurious and relaxed. The English Tourist Board have awarded us a "Commended" on their 4 Keys Rating, which indicates a very high standard.

The valley is flanked by woodland and the fields edged by the Looe River. Lodge Barton is set back, and hidden along a quiet country lane leading to our smallholding. Guests are welcome to explore the farm, fields, orchard and woodlands, to help feed the animals, collect eggs or just relax and enjoy the countryside.

The cottages are within easy reach of Looe, the pretty bustling fishing village with its popular beach. We are just 1 mile from the nearest shop and 6 miles from the nearest beach.

There are many other beaches, National Trust beauty spots, and opportunities for recreation in the neighbourhood, for example:

• Coves and Beaches: at Lantivet and Lantic Bays; Lansallos, with its smugglers' church hanging over the rocky coves and beaches below.
• Historic sites: the ancient stone circles at Minions on Bodmin Moor; National Trust properties nearby include medieval Cotehele, and Lanhydrock with its Edwardian Country house grandeur.
• Walks: go walking through hedgerow tunnels and cornfields to the beaches at Lantivet and Lantic Bays, or pony trekking on wild and beautiful Bodmin Moor.
• Rivers and lakes: visit Golitha Falls, where the Fowey River runs through beech woods, with waterfalls, and trout and salmon; or enjoy the sailing, windsurfing and fishing at Siblyback Lake.
• Railway: take a ride on the delightful single-track Liskeard/Looe railway, which winds along the leafy river valley to the sea at Looe.
• Leisure facilities: Liskeard has a leisure centre and swimming pool with excellent facilities.

OWL COTTAGE has recently been converted from a traditional stone barn. It has whitewashed stone walls, and high ceilings with exposed beams. There are oak floors with pretty rugs, and a woodburning stove. The English Tourist Board have awarded us a Commended on their 4 Keys Rating, which indicates a very high standard.

The cottage faces south over a large, sunny garden and lawns. It has 2 bedrooms, and 2 reception rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with an electric cooker and fridge. Glazed doors open from the living room and kitchen onto a south-facing patio. There are storage heaters and a woodburning stove: we supply you with logs free of charge.

Upstairs is the main bedroom (with double bed); the bathroom; and the second bedroom with 3' bunk beds and a 3' single bed. The beds are comfortable with good firm mattresses.

We provide a colour TV and video player, and keep a good range of videos which we lend out to our visitors; there are video libraries in nearby Liskeard too.

All linen and towels except of course beach towels, are provided and beds are made up for your arrival. Cots, cot linen, high chairs, babysitting, and a laundry service are all available. Well-behaved pets are welcome, but we do make a £15 charge per animal per week. Electricity is paid for with a £1 meter (the standard daily use is about £1 per day).

Arrival time is after 6pm on Friday, and we ask you to leave the cottage by mid-day on the Friday of your departure date.
