About this property

If you are looking for a self catering holiday where you can escape the rat race and stay in the depths of the beautiful Cornish countryside without spending a fortune, then this apartment is for you!

Menabilly is a small but comfortable, level access, studio apartment set far from the madding crowd in a beautiful and peaceful wooded valley on a working farm between Looe, Polperro and Fowey.

The open-plan studio apartment includes comfortable double/twin zip & link beds and a top of the range bathroom suite and shower. You can relax in the really comfortable armchairs and watch the flat screen television or wander through the French doors onto your private patio overlooking the garden. Whilst the kitchenette area is equipped with a microwave oven, fridge and hotplates to prepare simple meals at the end of a day exploring the stunning coastline and quaint Cornish fishing villages nearby. For those out of season breaks or nippy evenings, the underfloor heating will keep you warm and cosy.

The apartment has a flat entrance from the decking so is suitable for all guests including those with mobility issues.

Dogs welcome - a small additional charge is payable

Bounded on one side by a tributary of the River Fowey which meanders along the wilder edge of our garden and then down through the woods and on to the sea. Lesquite is a haven of peace, "a little bit of heaven on earth".

Lesquite, pronounced Less-quite and meaning "home at the end of a wood", nestles at the end of our farm drive in the midst of beautiful Cornish countryside, and is an organic working farm. The gardens are informal with lots of bulbs, trees and roses. We have tried to make it wildlife friendly, and you can see butterflies and moths and imagine badgers, foxes and otters peeping through the undergrowth. Buzzards, barn owls and tawny owls live here, and moorhens and mallard hatch their eggs near the pond. Having planted over a thousand crocus bulbs, we really look forward to the spectacular Spring colour.

We are within easy reach of Fowey, Polperro, Looe, St Austell, and the historic cities of Plymouth, and Truro. The famous Eden Project is just 35 minutes away and The Lost Gardens of Heligan 45 minutes. Walking in the area is spectacular with dramatic walks on the South West Coastal Footpath or across the beautiful Cornish countryside

A week in Menabilly

Although The apartment was smaller than expected it was very clean and comfortable with a good sized bathroom with a shower. The kitchen was adequate but could use more storage for self catering and a little more cutlery. Annette , the manager, was lovely. She and her lovely Labrador Poppie met us and made us especially welcome with tea and cake. Throughout our stay Annette was extremely attentive to our needs, yet unobtrusive. She made our stay quite special. We will certainly return for another visit in the future.
