Your riverside holiday home is waiting to welcome you (Tansy is in the centre of the picture - the cottage with the white door).
For an old cottage the main living-room is really spacious.
Tansy has two pretty bedrooms.
The setting really is something else.
It's a very special little village.
Come into the kitchen and prepare yourself a Cornish cream tea - jam first of course!
For a cottage kitchen it's very well-equipped and has everything you need for cooking up your holiday feasts.
Serving up your meals couldn't be easier with the dining-table close by
You'll never tire of the view at mealtimes.
There's even room for a sofa, the perfect spot to relax and watch the chef at work!
The cosy cottage sitting-room.
To make the room extra cosy, there's an electric wood-burner effect stove - all the romance of a wood-burning stove without the effort!
Lovely bedroom 1 comes with a super-comfy king-size bed.
Lovely linens adorn the bed.
The view from the bedroom will be an inspiration for the artists amongst you.
Bedroom 1 has its own en suite shower-room.
The pretty twin bedroom.
One of the beds is set a little higher but is still a full size bed.
Indulge yourself with a leisurely holiday soak in the family bathroom.
This is an old cottage and there is a slight curve to the final few stairs up to the twin bedroom.
The little terrace area at the front is a great spot to enjoy your favourite tipple at the end of day.
You're in a prime spot to watch the comings and goings of the river.
When the tide is out you, the stepping stones lead you across the river.
The village shop is just around the corner, ideal for picking up your morning croissant, or an ice-cream, and here you will also find the village pub.
The trendy sailing town of Fowey is within easy access whether by road or water!
There's a great choice of beautiful beaches along the south coast.
Take a trip to Lanhydrock to visit the historic house, gardens and parkland (National Trust).

We stayed at Tansy as a retired couple and found it very comfortable. We were lucky with the weather and sat out on the patio watching the tide come and go and passing the time chatting with locals and other holiday makers alike. We took the cushions out and were very comfortable sitting out there and of course a coffee, pasty or ice-cream are all only 2 minutes walk away at the village shop. The kitchen is wery well equipped and we cooked most days finding evereything we needed for preparing meals. We took several local walks, the Tivoli Fountain and grounds were very well worth visiting in the woods, we walked to St Winnow and back twice; I would advise there and back along the coast rather than back 'over the hill' unless you really love stiles!!! Nice little cafe van at St Winnow. Further afield we drove to Lantic Bay National Trust car-park for a lovely walk, and then down to Polruan, also Restormel Castle (EH) and Lanhydrock (NT). We took the car farry from Bodinnick to Fowey and on to Coombe Farm NT carpark for a strenous but delightful walking loop, see the board in the carpark. Lostwithiel is a small town, free parking and nice to see the Duchy Palace and St Bartholomew's Church and, of course, the old bridge. High tides were the highest all year but produced no worry as parking was easy and safe by the village hall and we had the back, or is it the front, door. There is no real need to simply use Lerryn as a hub and drive off all over Cornwall every day, just stay fairly local and enjoy the area; we even took advantage of the warm welcome to join in the T'ai Chi class in the hall on Friday mornings. ...

We had a great week in Tansy. Lerryn is a little gem, off the tourist trail and completely peaceful and laid back. A true haven for wildlife, watching the tides and exploring the estuary. It is a very friendly village, excellent pub and handy village shop. We would definitely return to Lerryn, it is a special place. ...

We had a lovely time at Tansey, it was clean and well equipped and Lerryn is amazing! The cottage is quirky and you have to be careful of the steps leading up to the bedrooms. The views from the kitchen and bedroom are great and you can park the car right outside the property which is a bonus. Such a lovely village and watching the tide is mesmerizing. There are nice walks alongside the estuary and you can walk over the other side via the stepping stones too. The Ship Inn was excellent along with the village shop (both just yards away) handy for the daily papers and essentials. Fowey is advertised on the Tansy website as being 3 miles away and it is if you take the 'short route' down extremely narrow farmer's tracks/lane and via the Boddinick Ferry (£10 return fare). We did it once only and it was scary and thereafter took the longer route via Lostwithiel which takes about 20/25. Our initial draw to choosing Tansy was its closeness to Fowey, it did not matter in the end as we had a lovely time but if you really need to be close to Fowey it would be a concern. All in all we had a wonderful week at Lerryn and would return....

We had a fabulous time at the cottage, we spent a week in lovely Lerryn and fell in love with the place and the cottage! The cottage exceeded expectations, it had everything we needed and more, lots of great descriptions of things to do, also plenty of books, videos and games for rainy days. The kitchen was superbly equipped. The interior decor was beautiful. We loved the peacefulness and the view of the river from the front terrace, kitchen and bedroom was stunning! We highly recommend and are definitely hoping to come back...

Had a great week in Tansy , weather was good so meant we often spent the late afternoon / early evening with a drink (coffee or beer - mainly beer !! ) watching what was happening on the river, which was so relaxing and peaceful , even when little was actually happening !!! Cottage was really well equipped and had everything we wanted or could think of !!! Thanks for the milk and cookies !! Everyone in the village was very friendly and we enjoyed 3 visits for meals to the pub , where again it was very welcoming and friendly , and took less than a minute to walk to ( door to door ) - Excellent !!! Corner shop was very handy and did some rather good bacon rolls ! Would revisit without any hesitation ! ...
