<img src="images/castle-exterior.jpg" width="280" height="154" align="right" hspace="5" alt="manor house holiday accommodation">The
West Wing of an impressive manor house in a secluded wooded valley... Castle
is situated in south-east Cornwall a mile south of medieval Lostwithiel,
the former county capital town, and just a few miles east of the Eden Project.
The site is reputedly that of King Mark's castle (the defensive stronghold,
Castledore, is 2 miles away) and of his son Tristan's ill-fated love affair
with Isolde. The surrounding area has been described as the most beautiful
and unspoilt part of the county, with many quiet footpaths (the ancient
Saints Way passes by the front gate) and shady byroads. <br>
There are many attractive and-even in high season-secluded beaches within
a short drive including Pridmouth, near Menabilly (Daphne Du Maurier's Manderley").
</span>
<p><span class="maintext"><img src="images/boats.jpg" width="136" height="165" align="left" hspace="10" alt="Fowey harbour">Polkerris,
Lantic Bay and the historic Port of Fowey are just 5 miles away. Bodmin
Moor and the north coast are within half an hour's drive. The National
Trust property Lanhydrock House is very close, as are many famous gardens,
while St Michael's Mount, Lands End and the new Tate in St Ives make interesting
day trips. The world famous Eden Project is just a few miles easy drive
from Castle.</span></p>
<p><span class="maintext">The present house at Castle (a former medieval
manor) was built about 1810, its mainly classical lines incorporating
gothic features. The scale and materials are typical of a Cornish country
house with massive granite quoins, pierced balconies and arched multipane
windows in dressed granite.</span></p>
<p><span class="maintext"><img src="images/gardens.jpg" width="137" height="154" align="right" hspace="5" alt="Extensive impressive gardens and grounds">The
gardens are extensive and are particularly impressive. They contain a
variety of large trees (Redwoods, Noble Fir, Beeches, Palms) and shrubs
(30 ft Rhododendrons, 20 ft Camellias and Azaleas. Each apartment has
an area of garden with garden furniture and barbecue in addition to access
to the surrounding grounds.</span></p>
<p><span class="maintext">The West Wing at Castle is so designed that it
lends itself to being used as a whole unit sleeping up to 12 people plus
2 babies or as 2 individual self-contained apartments, with private entrances
from the gardens. The accommodation is furnished so as to create a stylish
and comfortable ambience. A lot of attention has been paid to interior
decor; there are classically inspired murals as part of the design, central
heating, open fires and fitted kitchens and bathrooms. </span></p>
