This is a lovely cosy cottage just right for 2. Very well clean and well equiped and done to a very high standard. Lovely fluffy towels and really nice crisp bedding. We thought the wecome pack was a lovely touch and really enjoyed it after a long bank holiday drive down. Thankyou. We also thought it was a really nice touch that the housekeeper rang us on our first day to make sure everything was ok. I loved sitting at the bedroom window with my morning cup of tea looking at the lovely view of the river and woods. Lerryn is a beautiful magical place so peaceful and quiet i really didnt want to leave and wished we could have stayed longer....

We enjoyed our short break here. The cottage was comfy and well equipped. It is small and the spiral staircase may be a problem for the larger or infirm person. Also don't use a large suitcase! We really liked it though. Lerryn is a very tranquil location, ideal if you want that type of break. beware the tides though as flooding occurs on the high tide and you may need to park a little further away than the car park. We got good advice from the Staff in the Ship. The Ship is the only local place to eat out and it is fine, the staff were particularly friendly. There wasn't a large choice but the quality was good and it is what it is; a country inn that does food ?? A very nice short break, two weeks might be a bit too long for us though as access is down windy lanes and it can get a bit trying at times, of course this comes with the territory, Cornwall has lots of little windy lanes ??. We would definitely recommend little Gem....

Fabulously quiet and an interesting place to stay. Driving to Boddinick to take the car punt to Fowey was fun. A local recommended we stop at Morrisons supermarket at Liskeard to stock up on the way in. This was excellent advice and meant we could take full advantage of the well equipped kitchen. ...
