About this property

Finest Retreats | Old Lanvean Cottage

Welcome to Old Lanvean Cottage a delightful early 18th Century Grade II listed thatched cottage accommodating up to four guests in two bedrooms. The ground floor features a cosy sitting room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Upstairs, you'll find the two bedrooms and a small landing area.

The cottage is designed for year-round comfort. The charming sitting room offers seating for relaxing after a day out. The room includes a 32” television with a Humax digital terrestrial TV set-top box, a Now TV box for streaming channels, a Blu-ray/DVD player with a film library, and an internet radio with Bluetooth input for playing music from your own devices. Additionally, there is a selection of books, board games, card games, and jigsaw puzzles.

The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, kettle, and cafetière. A full range of utensils, pans, and serving dishes are also provided. The dining room features recycled and vintage items, including a solid oak kitchen table and upcycled chairs. Seating six, the dining table is perfect for entertaining if you’d like to invite friends over for the evening. The room has views of the garden, and a highchair is also available.

The double bedroom offers views of the garden from a window seat. The room includes a standard double bed, a chest of drawers, and wall-mounted hanging space for clothes. The second bedroom, a super king-sized can be converted into twin beds. The room includes a large chest of drawers, a built-in cupboard, and wall-mounted hanging space for clothes. An easy-to-assemble Nuna Sena travel cot is also available.

A highlight of the home, the garden is set in a picturesque spot, with the surrounding valley and village being a haven for wildlife. Enjoy outdoor dining on our table and chairs set, which seats six, or relax on the wooden garden bench. The garden is fully fenced, but larger dogs might be able to jump over in certain areas.

St Mawgan is a picturesque village nestled in the wooded Lanherne Valley, near the North Cornwall Coast. The River Menalhyl runs through the village, which is home to the popular Falcon Inn - a traditional village pub with a roaring fire, wooden beams, and an award-winning garden. The village also has a shop, tearoom, and a Japanese garden.

The cottage is just a 5-minute drive or a 35-minute walk to Mawgan Porth. This stunning sandy beach, surrounded by cliffs, offers rock pools, fantastic surfing, and great sandcastle-building opportunities. The beach is also dog friendly. Lifeguards patrol this award-winning beach, which also features an excellent beach shop, restaurants, and a pub. Mawgan Porth is close to Watergate Bay, Bedruthan Steps, and Padstow, with nearby opportunities for horse riding, surfing lessons, kayaking, and coasteering.

Super location, authentic and cosy.

Super location, authentic and cosy. Perfectly described in the app, photos match perfectly. Ideal for our family with dog who was more than welcome. Karen is super friendly and helpful. I needed an emergency osteopath and she arranged it for me even on Sunday! We had a great week's holiday and will definitely come back the next time Cornwall is on the schedule.

The cottage is very nice, both inside and outside.

The cottage is very nice, both inside and outside. You can sit outside in the lovely garden. Inside, it is very cozily furnished. The cottage is 300 years old, very special. As a result, slightly lower ceilings, but that was no problem for us. The living room is separate from the dining room, which is very nice. The kitchen has everything you need, with a good oven, a separate microwave, toaster etc. Very complete house, cozy and in a nice area. The communication with the host is also perfect: very fast and pleasant. Never experienced so well before.

Excellent, enjoyable stay

Excellent, enjoyable stay, beautiful property and location. Close to beaches and The Falcon Inn was great. Well equipped kitchen and spacious accomodation but mind your head as the beams are low. Would definitely book again.

Had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage!

Had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage! The location was in a peaceful village with great pub and shop and easy access to local beaches (5 min drives) where our 2 kids had fun body boarding. There’s a great path to the nearest beach through the wood as well. Kate and Matt were great hosts and were always responsive and helpful.
