    “Some of the directions were not fully shown on the email and therefore were not as clear as they could have been.”

    The cottage was delightful, well equipped and comfortable shame we couldn’t use the beautiful outside space and garden, the rainy weather unfortunately prevented this!

When you're ready to call it a night, find two beautifully presented bedrooms, 1 double and 1 twin (which can be made into a Super King should you require.) Both rooms have a different style and ample storage for all your belongings, served by a shower room where you can prepare for your day feeling refreshed and raring to go.

The small village of East Taphouse is located on the A390 in the heart of the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfectly situated for exploring all that Cornwall and Devon have to offer. Located between the historic market towns of Liskeard to the east and the ancient stannary town of Lostwithiel to the west, there is also easy access to the picturesque old fishing ports of Looe, Polperro and Fowey and many spectacular sandy beaches and coves on the South Coast, whilst the rugged and dramatic Bodmin Moor is just 10 minutes to the north. Close by is the Eden Project along with the magnificent Lost Gardens of Heligan and many National Trust properties such as Lanhydrock and Cothele. Bodmin steam railway and the tall ship harbour at Charlestown are also nearby and well worth a visit.
