Lovely Lerryn
Tucked along the banks of the River Lerryn, Cobble Cottage feels like a world apart. From the moment you arrive, the gentle flow of the river and the lush, ancient woodlands surrounding the village create a sense of peace that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Lerryn is one of Cornwall’s hidden treasures. Nestled along a tidal creek of the River Fowey, it is said to have inspired Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. Stepping stones cross the river, woodland trails wind to the water’s edge, and the village moves at a pace that feels almost otherworldly.
Whether you’re drifting along the river, exploring scenic walks, or simply watching the sunlight dance on the water, Cobble Cottage offers a rare chance to truly unwind and connect with the magic of Lerryn.

My Favourite Beaches
Polkerris a sheltered sandy cove, with a brilliant pub and restaurant right on the beach. Lantic Bay is wild, beautiful and only accessible on foot — worth every step. Lansallos unspoilt, utterly stunning, and barely on the map.

A Retreat For All Seasons
Spring — Bluebells carpet the woodland floor, the river comes alive with wildlife and the village is peaceful and unhurried. Cornwall at its most quietly beautiful.
Summer — Warm evenings on the balcony watching the tide come in. Swimming at nearby coves. Long golden days exploring the coast or just messing around on the river.
Autumn — The woodland turns to gold and copper. Crisp riverside walks and the pub calling your name.
Winter — A wonderfully cosy retreat. The river at its most dramatic. The kind of deep rest you simply can't find at home.
