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. |
