Lodge Hill Cottage

This spacious semi-detached family home nestles in a quiet spot and offers guests a relaxing and comfortable base from which to explore, with fantastic transport links. Relax by the open fire or enjoy the large garden or patio area for a night of alfresco dining.

This spacious, beautifully-arranged holiday property beside a quiet lane 1 mile from Liskeard centre is a fabulous base for exploring the varied attractions of Southeast Cornwall. Take your pick of great Cornish beaches or pretty villages, cheerful bucket-and-spade days or clifftop walks to wilder, secluded coves. Dogs are welcome - they'll delight in the great walking country hereabouts.

Semi-detached and solidly built, it's been cleverly extended with a wood-beamed sloping glass ceiling, creating a light-filled kitchen/dining room, the social heart of the house. Overall, it's bright and comfortable, with selected mid-century furniture items and subtle colours. For quieter moments or cosy evenings in, head to either comfy living room. Outdoors, indulge in leisurely sunny-morning breakfasts in the sheltered Mediterranean-style patio, dine alfresco with a BBQ on the main garden's decked area, or wander by well-planted borders beyond.

For traditional seaside visiting, with speciality shops, delicious local produce, wide dining choices and the famous town beach, Looe is just 8 miles to the south. For a quieter, dog-friendly beach, Talland within 8 miles along winding, hedge-banked lanes is perfect, and there's a good cafe too. Walkers in search of grand sweeping views don't have far to go, either on the South West Coast Path or on Bodmin Moor with famous Golitha Falls within 6 miles. Liskeard has good shopping, and on the way there's a hidden local treasure - Moyclare Cornish Garden 600m up the lane.

Dogs are charged at $23 each per full or part week.
