Relax on loungers around the outdoor pool which is available from May half term weekend to end August/early September; challenge family and friends to pool, air hockey or table tennis in the games barn or simply relax in one of the many secluded seating spots with a book and a glass of wine.

There is so much to do locally. We are only 6 miles from Looe and Polperro and 5 miles from the coast. There are woodland and coastal walks, the south west coast path and myriad beaches and coves to explore. National Trust properties are well represented, with Lanhydrock, Cotehele, Anthony and Saltram being some of my favourites. The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are easy to reach and highly recommended. Horse riding, golf, and watersports are all available locally. A week is never enough!
Our pretty and welcoming village has a historic pub The Punchbowl Inn which serves food daily. There is a village shop open mornings only and a social venue The Tipsy Cow which has fabulous views, events and delicious burgers on Thursday evening.

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. It’s location for exploring Cornwall could not be better, very quiet area but only a few miles to the beach etc.

Thank you for such a lovely review - hosting you and your family was a pleasure.
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.

Thank you Michael - it was lovely to meet you both and you were a pleasure to host. I'm delighted that you enjoyed your time here and the local area
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.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Edge
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.
Why they chose this property
The Old Rectory is an ideal base to explore locally and further afield and a fabulous place to return to and relax at the end of the day
What makes this property unique
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.
