Facilities within the cottage were ideal and it was a pleasure to return there each evening and sit by the fire with stormy weather outside. Bodmin, St Austell, Liskeard and Fowey are all within 10 - 15 minutes drive. Ideal base for exploring. Parking is a bit of an issue, however there is ample space in the free public car park off the main road and also on the hill around the corner. Would definitely recommend Willow Cottage.

Relying on public transport, having both the mainline station and town so close is a real bonus which means no issues with parking! Lostwithiel is a real gem and a great location and having the owners living locally is an added plus should there be any problems! Will definitely be looking forward to a further stay and "Thankyou" again to the owners! Wendy Mathis
