The Old Rectory - and hosts Julie and Chris - exceeded all our expectations. We are retired and so enjoyed the peace of the location in Lanreath - and although there are several other apartments within the building, use of the generously heated pool was normally "private". We ate out in Looe,Fowey, Polruan and Lerryn, and visited friends in Mevagissey, and the Old Rectory was perfectly positioned for those journeys, and a wonderful base to which to return each night.
If you are looking for a quality apartment in a great location then you need not look any further.
Everything you need is there from towels to kitchen equipment. The grounds are beautiful with small play area for little children, and the pool which was much needed during heatwave. Itâs location for exploring Cornwall could not be better, very quiet area but only a few miles to the beach etc.
Great accommodation, very clean. Lovely pool, so refreshing in the heat. Beautiful gardens. Dogs welcome. Well equipped games/exercise room for rainy days. Local shop and post office nearby and well stocked. Lots to do in local area coasteering, zip wiring, cycling, segwaying, surfing (north coast) and pretty villages and coastal towns to visit and find places to eat. Great holiday.
It has been wonderful bringing up our family in this fabulous place. We love Cornwall in all seasons and weathers. We moved here in 2004 to slow the pace of our lives and enjoy more quality time with our children. Whilst I do still work in the NHS a couple of days a week, we have achieved those aims. The gardens here can keep me busy, but are a pleasure to work in - guest appreciation is a great motivator.
The heated outdoor pool in the summer may be small, but is great for cooling off and having a lazy swim or throwing a ball around. The loungers on the south terraces are great for relaxing and the games room gives you somewhere to spend family time.
