Location and Links

We are an easy to find location without the need to negotiate Cornwall’s narrow lanes after a long journey from home, lying three miles east of Lostwithiel in the village of West Taphouse.

If you are coming from the east, you can enter Cornwall by the A30 or the A38. If you choose the former, leave the A30 at Bodmin and follow signs to Lostwithiel. Once in the town, turn left onto the A390 and after three miles you will reach West Taphouse . The Old Chapel is the last property on the left.

Coming via the A38 you will cross the Tamar Bridge and should then keep on the road for about 15 miles before reaching Dobwalls. At traffic lights in the village turn left onto the A390 (S/P St Austell) and go through East Taphouse and then Middle Taphouse. You will see The Old Chapel as the first property on the right as you enter West Taphouse.

We have ample parking and will be pleased to offer you a reviving pot of tea or coffee upon your arrival. Our local town of Lostwithiel has some terrific restaurants and pubs and if you don't fancy driving we can run you down and collect you again afterwards - your own complimentary taxi service! Looking forward to seeing you!


Some ideas to help you make the most of your holiday:

The Old Chapel is perfectly situated for touring the beautiful county of Cornwall . We are close to the lovely harbour villages of Fowey, Looe and Polperro and the rugged majesty of Bodmin moor.

The Eden Projectand The Lost Gardens of Heligan are within easy reach as is the beautiful north Cornwall coast and the surfing beaches of Newquay and Polzeath.

Other villages such as Boscastle and Port Isaac (location for the TV drama Doc Martin) are within 40 minutes’ drive and you can easily drive or catch a train to Plymouth and wander the ancient streets of the Barbican (departure point for the Pilgrim Fathers) or visit the National Marine Aquarium.

Lostwithiel, our closest town, is fast becoming the antiques capital of Cornwall with a variety of shops as well as regular antique markets and auctions. There is a good choice of places to eat from award winning restaurants to traditional Cornish pubs and we will happily make recommendations and reservations for you.

The Old Chapel is also ideal if you are attending a wedding at the beautiful Boconnoc House, which is just a few minutes away. We are also well situated for a number of National Trust properties, including Lanhydrock House and Cotehele, near Saltash. For garden lovers why not visit the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery, again within a few minutes, where an extensive range of plants, trees and shrubs can give you a lasting reminder of Cornwall.
