  • Characterful retreat in a peaceful rural location with gorgeous countryside views
  • Surrounded by private land with the River Tiddy running through
  • Two lakes and a summerhouse for you to enjoy
Property code: OC-CHRETR

A stone-built annexe to the owner’s home, this delightful cottage is set in the most secluded location amidst miles of rolling countryside which is available for walks and picnics. The River Tiddy runs through the land and with two lakes, a summerhouse and picnic area available for your use, fresh Cornish air is guaranteed. Dark skies are certain here and gazing at the stars on a clear night will be a new-found pastime. Wildlife abound and you may even see deer grazing nearby. Coombe House Retreat is the perfect place to ensure a relaxing and peaceful break.

This cottage is located down a country lane not far from the ancient Cornish villages of Menheniot and Quethiock. The seaside town of Looe is a 30 minute drive away and with many activities all within a reasonable distance you’ll find plenty to do in the region. Goliltha Falls is well worth a visit where you will find a series of spectacular cascades and waterfalls along a section of the River Fowey as it makes its way through the ancient oak woodland of Draynes Wood. Liskeard, about a 20 minute drive away, is an incredibly beautiful town – both architecturally and historically significant.

This is lovely accommodation set in a very peaceful and beautiful setting. The place is very homely and comfortable and good value for money.

A beautiful cottage tucked away down a typical Cornish country lane. The property is next to the owners own property, John and Lou and we could not have wished for better hosts. We were shown around the property on arrival and where everything was, a few little treats as well, which were very much appreciated. We were also allowed to walk arouRead morend the 17 acres of land whenever we wanted and enjoy the peace and quiet that the location provided. The accommodation was clean, tidy, comfortable and there was everything we needed for a week away, a home from home. The area has so much to offer and wished we could have stayed longer. Would we go back? In a heartbeat and will definitely be rebooking in the near future. Thank you John and Lou for a special and memorable holiday in your beautiful cottage. Hide

We had a lovely break here in September. The cottage is perfect for two and was dog friendly. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming. The location is lovely and a great base to explore Cornwall. It is rural so driving distance to shops and pubs/restaurants. Overall we had a lovely week.

Had the best stay at Lou and John's property, a wonderful quiet Christmas for just us and our 8-month-old. We actually came down with a sickness bug on Christmas day and Lou kindly looked after us and washed all our pukey baby clothes! Thank you so much for our uncomplicated stay, your hospitality and fun chats in the kitchen! xx

Very peaceful and quiet area, so we slept very well throughout the stay. The location is a bit secluded to get to (and down the bottom of a single track road), but it's well worth it. The property had everything we needed. It's a lovely area as well to have a walk around to explore.

Very remote property and quite difficult to get there. A Sat Nav is a must. Lots of driving through very narrow roads. However, we did enjoy the remoteness. A really friendly owner who was more than helpful when asked. If you want to get away from this mad, mad world, and people, this is the place!
