“Excellent stay!”

Very comfortable and well equipped property in a super village location. Although the weather was mixed we enjoyed doing different things in the area each day and rarely used the car as there are frequent, cheap trains available from the railway station opposite. It was a truly relaxing stay and the communication with and friendliness of our host was great at all times.

“A lovely place to stay, very close to everything in Lostwithiel and the surrounding area.”

“We love this cottage!”

We have stayed 3 times and each time it has been perfect for our needs. Its position in Lostwithiel is perfect for children to nip out to the river for a swim or for the train enthusiast to watch trains passing by. The beds are comfortable and the house was beautifully clean and tidy.

J September 2022

“We had a good holiday the accommodation was lovely, very clean and very well equipped and though it is mentioned in the listing about a railway line, I don’t think it says enough about how busy or noisy early in the day it can be.”

The back of the property and from the lounge was indeed tranquil with the river setting and a lovely place to take coffee and read.

- J, September 2022

I am pleased to know that you had a good holiday at Riverview. The railway line is indeed close to the entrance side of the property and we hope that the triple glazing would help minimise any noise nuisance. I am sorry that in this instance you were disappointed. Property Owner
Anita August 2022

“It’s a lovely holiday cottage, perfectly situated by the river.”

Stayed previously in 2021, when there were no cushions, throws etc in the lounge so it was lovely to have all the “extras” back. This is a great place to stay for a family holiday.

- Anita, August 2022

Yes so much more appealing with all the extras back. Thrilled that your stay was so successful. All best. Zenah Property Owner

Jane July 2022

“Great place to stay.”

It was easy to get to attractions such as The Eden Project and the Secret Gardens of Haligan with out traveling for hours. Loved the setting by the River Fowey which was great fun to swim in safely. People were friendly and lots of places serving good food. Loved it and would defiantly go back.

- Jane, July 2022

Very pleased to hear that your holiday experience in Lostwithiel was so enjoyable. Look forward to seeing you back Property Owner
Sophie May 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Riverview.”

The apartment was well equipped, tastefully furnished and clean. It's perfectly located and a great base for exploring Cornwall. Lostwithiel is a lovely small town with lots of amenities and it had a fabulous atmosphere whilst we were there during the Queen's Jubilee weekend. When not joining in with the local festivities, we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony soaking up the view and the sunshine. Having a train station outside was handy for our day trip to St. Ives. Riverview is but a stone's throw from the Eden Project and nearby Fowey and Polperro are worth a visit. We would definitely recommend!

- Sophie, May 2022

Thank you so much for your kind comments. They are much appreciated. We have been working to up grade the facilities at Riverview recently so I am very pleased with your observations. Many thanks. Property Owner
Richard May 2022

Joanne April 2022

“A super home from home - every bit as good as the photos.”

An ideal base for visiting Cornwall, Lostwithiel has a lovely village atmosphere but with all the local shops, cosy pubs and amenities you could wish for. The apartment was beautifully appointed with everything you need, along with a beautiful view over the river from the balcony. The train station is literally outside the front door for those travelling without a car, day trips or trainspotters! Would recommend on a heartbeat.

- Joanne, April 2022

Delighted your visit met expectations. Thank you for your kind comments. Property Owner
Tracy April 2022

“A home from home in an excellent location.”

Will definitely return! Well equipped kitchen, board games, cards etc provided. Spacious and comfortable and within easy walking distance of 3 pubs serving food and a few restaurants and shops. Surrounded by lovely walking trails. What more do you need?

- Tracy, April 2022

Delighted your stay was so enjoyable. Lostwithiel really does offer a wide range of eating options. Property Owner
John February 2022

“An excellent week's stay at Riverside and just about to book again for next year.”

Initially, when we arrived we were slightly surprised that areas in the kitchen and cloakroom were not as clean as expected - but a short burst of activity soon resolved things. It almost looked as though it had not had a proper clean before our arrival - we were the first booking of 2022 we understand. However, that exception apart, a new en-suite bathroom had just been put in, and everything else about the apartment was magnificent. A perfect position, easy access to the town and all places of interest in the locality with lots of great walks. Foodies Cafe is great, also Asquith's for a lovely evening meal, as was The Crown at Lanlivery. We loved the view over the river from the lounge, also the view over the railway from the kitchen. We slept incredibly well too. All in all, a great place for a week out of season.

- John, February 2022

Delighted that your stay was so enjoyable. Very disappointed that the standard of cleanliness was unacceptable. Thank you for letting us know and we will endeavour to ensure this is rectified. Property Owner
Carole November 2021

“Everything we needed was supplied.”

Spacious apartment is in a convenient location for travelling around, and a 5 minutes walk to a supermarket, butchers and chemist - also a stone's throw from the railway station. The triple glazing meant minimal noise. Having a parking space was a real bonus.

- Carole, November 2021
Karen October 2021

“If you are a non driver riverview is perfect.”

Train station really close so getting to different places is so easy. We loved our stay the property was lovely and so was lostwithiel I would happy recommend riverview to anyone and we hope to revisit sometime in the future.

- Karen, October 2021
Susan October 2021

“Loved every minute staying here, what ever you needed was was there.”

Owner recommend us to get the train to St Ives, there was 5 adults and cost £38 between us all return 1.5hrs , we loved it just relaxing instead of driving. Parking was not a problem, we have a 8 seater bus, and it fitted fine, parking is under cover, but there is a dentist hut facing which is closed , so you can park there, but it gets full of a morning with people getting the train, but not a problem of a evening. Whoever books this will love it,

Kevin September 2021

“Brilliant location for central Cornwall, lovely village and the rental is in a beautiful location overlooking the river.”

Railway station across the road with frequent services and reasonable prices. I have seen other negative reviews regarding the car parking. The car parking space is no problem whatsoever I drive a Landrover Freelander and there is plenty of room to get in and out of the vehicle and it is under cover.

- Kevin, September 2021
Steve September 2020

“Put back from April for obvious reasons - worked exceptionally well & lucky with the weather.”

Location is great with parking (a bonus in Cornish towns), station close by and property has all most people would need and overlooks the river for relaxing views.

- Steve, September 2020
Michael September 2020

“Good apartment to stay in ,in a lovely area.”

Co-op is a boom for shopping local,

- Michael, September 2020
Stephen October 2019

“We had a lovely holiday here.”

The price we paid was a bargain. Two minor points to which the owner might attend: 1. The shower tray at the En suite was very slow to drain, and 2. The dimmer light switch in the lounge may need to be replaced, as the lights intermittently flicker and go out despite being turned on.

- Stephen, October 2019
John September 2019

“The apartment was lovely everything we needed was there.”

would recommend the property to anyone to try.

- John, September 2019
Jane August 2019

“The accommodation was listed as a 6 person apartment with parking.”

The accommodation itself was great, very comfortable and thoughtfully prepared. However our visit was spoiled by the parking. Parking is clearly an issue at this location and we were pestered by neighbours constantly asking about cars (not ours) parked in 'the wrong place'. We have a large car (one that accommodates 5 people, as I imagine most people renting this accommodation will have) and we really struggled to park it in the given slot. We were reliant on the neighbour parking her car well over in her slot in order to be able to get out of the car once parked, meaning if she hadn't done that we would have not been able to access the car. I know there is little that can be done about the size of the car port slot, but I think the description should indicate that the space is for a small car, and not a people carrier or SUV, which is frankly the most likely vehicle that a family of 5 or 6 will have. We were told by the landlady to park in the Dentist parking slot, but this is only available at the weekend. During the week of our stay there was then no parking. This really ruined our holiday, and I see that other visitors have raised this. Had I known that parking was going to be a problem I would have booked elsewhere. The neighbours were very nice, but we met all five of them and they were asking about the parking all of the time. Hassle for them, and hassle for us. Not a holiday!

- Jane, August 2019

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had problems with the parking during your stay. We have now amended the property description to state that allocated parking is available for one medium sized car. Further parking can be found close by to the property and in the town center. Furthermore, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Riverview. Property Owner
Carol May 2019

It was clean and comfortable and full of information booklets about the area. The owner was extremely helpful about local walks and shops. A perfect holiday.

“This was a ten out of ten holiday.”

Appartment & location were wonderful. Will certainly use Sykes again.

- Wendy, December 2018
Lisa October 2018

“This is a really comfortable property with plenty of room for a family of four plus one dog!”

Lostwithiel is a beautiful town and is located close to some fantastic beaches and lovely fishing villages. The costal path from Parr Sands to Polkerris is fantastic. The Trewithen Restaurant in Lostwithiel is well worth a visit too; great food and lovely staff.

- Lisa, October 2018
Rhona October 2018

“Parking is always a problem at brunel quays, although space available for riverview, it is away from the property which was known but it is a small space to manoeuvre in because it is the last space in the covered area , brick wall on one side with a large car unable to open car door to exit,perhaps details should specify for a 'small car' and parking for one car only, if more than one family in accommodation parking would be impossible.”

- Rhona, October 2018

Andrea May 2018

“We really loved this apartment.”

It was very well fitted out and ample towels, huge beds, comfy sofas and large 3D TV added to the feeling of luxury. The view from the lounge was delightful and it was unexpectedly quiet as the residents made no noise at all! We would definitely go back. If you are in the area, do got to the Trewithen restaurant in Lostwithiel. It's brilliant food and super service.

- Andrea, May 2018
Bryan March 2018

“This holiday cottage was extremely well appointed, within walking distance to local shops and hostelries.”

The cottage was of a very high quality and all furniture, carpets and accessories were also high quality. The accommodation was set over two floors with views of the river, and village. A real luxury break.

- Bryan, March 2018

C M December 2017

“Riverview is a beautifully appointed and well-equipped apartment in the lovely old town of Lostwithiel, between the railway and river.”

We arrived to find the apartment seasonally decorated and festive treats awaited us, along with some fridge essentials! Its location is just great for exploring this part of Cornwall; just a short drive to many lovely places, or a train journey, should you wish to venture further. We could not fault Riverview.and look forward to visiting again.

The property

Poised on the bank of the picturesque River Fowey in the heart of charming Lostwithiel, Riverview apartment, with balcony overlooking the water, is an excellent base from which to explore unspoilt beaches and breathtaking countryside. Within 10 minutes drive of the south coast, characterised by secluded beaches and tiny, sheltered coves, Lostwithiel, the ancient capital of Cornwall, boasts restaurants, including Trewithen which has won the Cornwall Tourism Gold Award for Restaurant of the Year 2015/16.

There are also traditional inns and delicious delis all within a few minutes walk.

The carnival in July is a great attraction and fun for all the family. The sandy cove at Polkerris or Readymoney Cove at Fowey is a short drive away, sandy and sheltered overlooking scenic Polruan.

Fowey is idyllic with twisting streets of galleries, curio shops, restaurants and inns huddling down to the waterside, where a fishing or boat trip can be enjoyed.

Lerryn Creek is ideal for hiring canoes and exploring the hidden inlets, and ramblers and dogs will enjoy the coastal and inland footpaths. Riverview, in the Brunel Quays development, is an attractive Grade II listed conversion of railway buildings, with a mooring and slipway for a small boat.

Behind is the picket-fenced railway line.

The duplex apartment is on the first floor, with sitting room and fabulous river views and balcony where you can bask in the sunshine.

The generous kitchen and dining area with triple glazed windows overlook the railway.

The second floor bedroom offers flexibility with a king size bed that converts to twin beds, plus a single bed ideal for a child.

The master bedroom has a luxurious super kingsize bed for guaranteed relaxation. Lanhydrock House is nearby, a late Victorian Country house with extensive gardens and wooded estate, discover Victorian life and make sure you take a stroll around the gardens.

Restormel Castle a great historical feature and a must visit during your stay.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

LOSTWITHIEL

Bodmin 5.5 miles; Fowey 7 miles.

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance. The tumbling Atlantic surf, long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of the north coast, including at the renowned Newquay, make for great days out and there is also chance to enjoy river canoeing, biking, hiking and leisurely walks in this lovely area. The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.

Note: One step and ramp up to entrance. Private entrance and a flight of stairs up to first floor.

Note: Minimum stay 5 nights.
