Lostwithiel, the medieval capital of Cornwall, nestles in the beautiful Fowey valley, overlooked by Restormel Castle and surrounded by woodland and riverside walks. Leave the car at home and take the train to this elegant apartment, part of the splendid Grade II Listed former engineering works designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. These award-winning, energy-saving, triple-glazed properties stand in landscaped communal gardens between the banks of the River Fowey (see photograph) and the railway line (passenger and freight trains pass slowly). Take the old Cornish Riviera Line to the fishing port of Looe, or hop aboard for a fun-filled day on the surfing beaches of Newquay. With accommodation on the first and second floors, Riverview offers a fully equipped kitchen/diner and separate sitting-room with French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the water (take care with children as the river bank is unfenced). The family bedroom has ‘zip and link’ beds (super king-size or twin) plus another single bed, while the master en suite bedroom is elegantly decorated and includes the luxury of a six foot bed and a relaxing sitting-area. The small town of Lostwithiel has numerous antique shops, a mix of restaurants, pubs and bakeries serving good food, and narrow, winding streets to explore.
