Old Quay Cottage

The cottage is well equiped. Very nice is the water front space, very relaxing. Also easy access to the super market for daily groceries. Located near nice shops and restaurants. Not so nice is the parking space at the back of the cottage. Getting out of the court yard behind the cottage is a real challenge!

This is a perfect cottage for anyone visiting Cornwall by train. It is in a great location overlooking the river and is very well equipped, clean and comfortable.

This is a comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage in a great location.

Overall the cottage was beautiful but the parking let it down especially as the weather was so wet it was a shame as we’d liked to have stayed when the weather was better as a lot of seating outside which we were unable to enjoy

Quay cottage is great for a relaxing, comfortable break, in a lovely river location. The town is well worth exploring, before venturing further afield.

A very comfortable stay was had by the whole family. We are two adults and three teenagers and had everything we needed. Yes parking is very tight (especially if you have a large car) but manageable. Lostwithiel is a good base and some fabulous coves nearby.

We have just had a great holiday at Old Quay Cottage. Lostwithiel is a cute little town with some interesting history, shops and cafes. The cottage is a short walk to a pasty shop and co-op which is great for getting food and essentials. The decking on to the river is lovely, we hired some kayaks from Riverjoyz in Lostwithiel and went for a paddle which I would definitely recommend. Some people have commented on the parking. We had our 7 seater s max and we managed to park ok with a few maneuvers but my husband is a confident reverser. There is plenty of onstreet parking close by too if you are happy to park your car away from the property. We would recommend a stay here

The difficulty of parking should be made clear BEFORE booking not in the booking confirmation - would t have stayed if we’d known

Very easy to book and if you have any questions the booking office is very friendly and answer any question you have xx

Property is superficially clean but needs a really good deep clean and declutter, espacially downstairs. The kitchen cupboards are messy and I had to tidy them to find stuff. Too many "knick-knacks", personal items and dodgy furniture (wobbly side tables and dining chairs). Some things were a bit dangerous if children stayed. Upstairs was much better. Ouside area also need cleaning and sprucing up. The parking, as previously mentioned, is a nightmare. VERY difficult to get in and out between a broken down car, a boat and a camper van. Having said all of that, the cottage is nice BUT.. it could be stunning with more attention to detail.. As there was only 2 of us we enjoyed our week and very much enjoyed Lostwithiel and the surrounding area. The shops/pubs/cafes are all within a couple of minutes walk and being by the river was just lovely. Easy access to other places like Bodmin and St Austell/ Charlestown.

A lovely location, spoilt by dreadful parking.

Perfect location for shops, restaurants, walks. Lovely views of the river from most rooms. Lots to do in area, e.g. Restormel Castle, Lanhydrock house. Parking was tricky to negotiate as warned, but manageable with care.

Facilities need updating/replacing.Bedlinen towels pillows etc. Very good position lovely once you're in the cottage.Courtyard unsightly.We used the terraces overlooking the water a lot which with the glorious weather was lovely

Old Quay Cottage is in a lovely setting on the banks for the river Fowey and right in the town so it’s handy for groceries, the train station and access to places of interest including Heligan, Eden, Fowey, and Lanhydrock. The cottage was spacious, with modern facilities, lovely views, and is very comfortable. The underfloor heating was a treat. The village is unspoilt, and is full of history, the wonderful old bridge, and interesting buildings. There is a friendly feel to it as mass tourism hasn’t undermined its uniqueness. The station is great for connecting to other towns instead of using the car.

Easy booking process, friendly and helpful staff, most lovely cottage - it was the perfect holiday. I will definitely book again with Classic Cottages!

it was perfect!

Courtyard on arrival was a bit of a challenge due to car parking as you entered and the camper van and boat stored close to the property.

It could also do with a tidy up as first impressions were not good.

Lovely river side location a little spoilt by poor maintaining of exterior areas. The interior is furnished nicely but the lighting is horrible down lights which are OK in the kitchen area but the sitting space needs softer table lamps.

Gorgeous cottage in an excellent location. Very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Lostwithiel is a great location with shops and pubs right on your doorstep. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend Old Quay Cottage.

We had a great stay at Old Quay Cottage. The setting was delightful and we made full use of the outdoor terrace space by the river.

Lovely cottage in a superb location although the photos need updating as some items/furnishings have changed. The car parking is very tight so a small car is needed

A holiday which was cancelled last year due to the Pandemic but so glad we got there. Very very quiet in the area and got some good rest. The people in the town are so friendly, you have to try Nelly's steak pies the best. Couple of walks in the area are awesome. The cottage itself we loved and very comfortable and would gladly go again.

Great location for exploring Cornwall.

Perfect week away, everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a break from monotony. Would stay again and recommend.

A beautiful cottage in a great location for visiting places around Cornwall. The cottage was very clean and well equipped for everything we needed, thank you for a lovely relaxing week . We would love to return next year.

The cottage was in a beautiful and historic village. There was lots to do locally and we had some magnificent walks. The tea van at St. Winnow's (closed Monday) is not to be missed on an estuary walk.

A fantastic homely cottage ideally situated for exploring central Cornwall. The rayburn is a pleasure, the jetty is ideal for breakfasts sat beside the river fowey and the the cottage is spacious. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this location.

Super cottage with ample equipment. Views perfect, very homely. Thoughtful touches with games, torchws, DVD's, books and information on the area. Excellant position and very comfortable.

Lovely cottage, in a quiet location. Village was very pretty, with all the Christmas lights up. Co op next door was very convenient. Excellent parking space. Cottage very warm due to the aga, which we got used to. Lit a fire every night, which was cosy over the Christmas period. Loved the holiday, waking up to the sound of the river and birdsong every morning.

We ADORED this cottage. Very comfortable and cozy. Loved the balconies and river view. Small but well-stocked grocery (Co-op) just steps round the corner. Sweet town, all walkable, many charming shops. The Globe Pub (again, a short walk) was great for food, dinner and mixing with friendly local townspeople. Getting in and out of the parking area was very tight (unless you have a small car) but doable, if one person directs the driver from outside the car. Neighbors were so nice—one shared their cat Willow and another their dog Sadie with us. The controls on the microwave and CD were a mystery, but we managed to use both by accident! We built a fire with a cord of wood left by our door. Played cribbage round the table in the evening. We hated to leave! Thank you SO much for helping us find this cottage.

Beautiful setting, comfortable cottage with good places to eat within easy walking distance. We had a wonderful week and will definitely come back again.

Wonderful location, spent time on terrace having dinner and watching the occasional boat. Thursdays in August is 'Songs on the River' in Lostwithiel, which happens next to property.... It is a great event! Property is just as photos, and even better!! We would return.. lots to do in area as well!

A good location on the river, very convenient for shops, restaurants and nice walks close by. Cottage is well-equipped for the most part but a little run down. It could use some attention to details, especially the terrace area outside. Parking was very difficult.

The fotos and information about the bedrooms does not correspond with the reality. The bedroom on the groundfloor does not have a window, which is important to know. the second bedroom with the two single beds is very small, with a very small window, fotos show differently. Very disappointing. The rental costs are quite hight, therefore our expectations were high as well. The cleaniless of the Cottage was not good. And we did not see the housekeeper at all. The situation of the Cottage is very nice. The town Lostwithiel is a good place to stay.

Please emphasise the parking.

Great cottage in fabulous location, we visited as a family of 5. Quiet town with all the amenities you’d need for a week away - the pasties are amazing! Loved the river view and we were able to take advantage of the outside area in spring, which was fabulous. Loads to see locally too, must see place is the Lost Gardens of Helligan. There is one parking space which was always free however sometimes challenging to get in or out of in a larger car. We’d highly recommend this cottage and would love to stay again.

The cottage was in an excellent location to explore southern Cornwall. Beautifully furnished with some lovely home comforts such as the cosy fire and the range cooker. We loved waking up and looking out at the river. I would definitely book again!

A beautiful cottage set in a stunning location. Nothing is needed in the house as it's so well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week away from home. We we're very lucky with the autumn weather. However, we had a few frosty nights so we we're able to use the fire. The under floor heating is lovely on the cold mornings too. I can imagine how wonderful it must be to have summer evenings out on the patio gazing over the river as it was stunning in the autumn. It took me a few reads and a you tube watch to get my head around using the Aga but I soon mastered it! The location is again beautiful with everything you need on the doorstep. I would definitely recommend Old Quay Cottage to friends or family and I most definitely would return again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Quay Cottage. The location is superb - right by the river and close to many of the local attractions, such as The Eden Project and the Camel Trail. We were also impressed with the decor of the property, not the usual blandness which seems to be encouraged by so many holiday cottage businesses, instead we felt as though we were staying in someone else’s comfortable home. The flagstones are beautiful and the aga easy to use and very homely.

The setting of this property is lovely being right next to the river and right in the centre of Lostwithiel. Sitting on the balcony or the terrace in the sun with a good book and some lovely pasties or cakes from the local bakers is perfect. Lostwithiel is a charming little town with some lovely shops and super eating places plus an interesting Church, small museum and a nearby castle! Also all the neighbours were very friendly and helpful.

A charming cottage in a great location for Fowey and south east Cornwall.

This is a great cottage in a lovely setting and location, although a bit close to the other cottages in the courtyard. Being set on the bank of the River Fowey is tranquil and relaxing. The railway station is a short walk from the cottage with easy access to Plymouth and even though you can hear the trains going through, it's not intrusive. You'll hear more noise from the ducks and birds during the night! You may even hear an owl!

Parking is a bit tight as you're in a courtyard, but you have a designated spot and if you could park any closer to the front door, you would be inside the cottage! Makes for easy unpacking and packing.

The cottage is very well kitted out with lots of pots and pans, cutlery, utensils and crockery galore! The bed in the master bedroom is quite comfy and the blanket throws that are available to use are quite luxurious! We were here in March, so made a fire every night...cosy!

We went to the Royal Oak Inn our first night and cooked in the remaining nights. Had an enjoyable lunch at Colgero's and there's lots of lovely little shops along Fore Street. You might even see a fishmonger selling fresh fish from his van across the way from the Co-op on one of the days as we did. Would highly recommend the butcher shop. We got venison steaks, ribeyes, bacon and sausage and everything was delicious!

We had a couple of minor issues when we arrived, but they were handled quickly. The housekeeping team will make sure that your stay is a comfortable one.

The only negative was that the week went by so quickly and we had to leave!

I would suggest all of the above.

Quay Cottage is in a lovely position near the river ,has a lovely sitting out area and is only seconds away from shops ,cafes and pubs ,yet is very quiet and peaceful .

very comfortable cottage in a great location

Good location, with very pleasant outdoor space overlooking the river.

Cottage has ample space for three couple. Jacuzzi bath is lovely after a long day out rambling. Ample parking for more than one car, as there are loads of free parking down by the river. Garden enclosed off pier so suitable for children too. Loads of nice restaurants in the village, all open for lunch and dinner service. Globe is a nice pub.

Outstanding location, spent most evenings just sitting and watching the river and it's environment. Although caution would be needed if you have children.

Fabulous cottage that has enough personal items dotted around making it feel very homely but without feeling as though you are invading someone's home.

Exceptionally well kitted out kitchen with crockery and cutlery galore.

Location is ideal for touring north and south coasts. Take a canoe or hire one that can be dropped off to the cottage to paddle down to Fowey.

The marriage of the river Fowey and old quay cottage will make magical memories to draw upon when the days are short and cold.

This cottage is located in a lovely spot overlooking the river Fowey, in the very friendly town of Lostwithiel. It is a busy spot. I don't believe it is a place for pre teens, unless they are keen walkers or canoeists. At low tide younger children are able to paddle in the river, as do the local children. There is no bus service but trains are available from the station, which is just five minutes away from the cottage.

Well equipped cottage in a great location with good shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Main line train station close by but not obtrusive.

Wonderfully quiet location. Very tranquil looking out over the river. Great placed to launch kayak from.

A lovely cottage in a great location.

For a peaceful, relaxing holiday in a welcoming cottage situated in an enchanting location Old Quay Cottage ticks all the boxes. It is a haven of tranquility.

We liked the location of the property on the river. It is also very close to some lovely restaurants, pubs and shops. The village is very quiet and the locals very friendly.

Old Quay Cottage is a lovely comfortable place to stay, the outside decking over the river is a lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon and it is really handy to have shops, the pubs and restaurants all within a couple of minutes walk yet still be so secluded and quiet.

Was the best cottage I have sayed in, they had thought of everything you would need for a home from home stay if it wasn't there you wouldn't need it. Loved everything about it the views the location in village as it was close to shops and pubs we will be returning it was so peaceful and we really relaxed after our jam packed days out! Weather helped.

Wonderful location and facilities.

Excellent location can visit both sides of coasts on day trips Train service great way to travel we used Cornwall Rider tickets good all day for trains and most buses Travel info at Lostwithiel Community Centre perfect also many town activities happening here Cottage was well equipped nothing missing beds very comfortable neighbors all very pleasant
Linens , firewood, supplied stayed for a month cottage cleaned weekly with fresh linens great pubs n restaurants within walking lots of nature to watch on river

A lovely spot by the river! Very comfortable beds, good cottage throughout. Shops nearby are very handy! Had a super holiday here!

Cottage excellent, location brill. Nice and peaceful, everything you needed in cottage. Certain to come here again - loved it!

A wonderful, characteristic property that is very well equipped and in a lovely location.

A truly beautiful cosy riverside cottage, we strongly recommend to all. The only slight negative is the sprinkler control system next to the boiler. It emits an annoying and fairly loud buzzer every 30 seconds or so while the aga is switched on, or when cooking or even boiling the kettle! We switched the aga off, bought in fish and chips and enjoyed cold drinks. anything for a quiet life!! Please don't be put off though, this is a great place to relax and Lostwithiel is lovely. The goldfinch nesting outside the kitchen window, and mother duck with her 7 ducklings out back capped it all off. Huge thanks to Classic Cottages and the property owner for providing us with such a wonderful break.

Fantastic location, right by the riverside. Only a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Shops are really nice - lots of antiques and reasonably priced souvenir type shops. Locals are really friendly and I would recommend eating at the two pubs in the town. Cottage was really spacious and very clean. Open fire was a delight and great fun trying to light! I would highly recommend this cottage.

This cottage was gorgeous, everything was to such a high standard and the location was stunning, peaceful and so close to everything. The owner was very generous as there was a problem with the stove not working, as compensation she offered to buy us all dinner at a local restaurant. The stove was promptly fixed the following day.

This is a beautifully presented cottage, with everything you could wish for. It is ideal if you have toddlers or young children, with a stair gate, highchair, travel cot and even a non-slip bath mat! It is very spacious, which helps on rainy days! The balcony overlooking the river is a marvellous place to enjoy a glass of wine once the kids are in bed! The location is fabulous, close to Looe, Polperro and a number of great National Trust properties. I can not recommend this cottage enough, the best I have stayed in.

Lovely house, great position next to the river. But hope you like early mornings because if you sleep in the ground floor room you will be woken at 7am by the noise from the coop next door. Also parking next to the cottage can be difficult in the evenings when everyone is home.

A wonderful house in a great location, Co op 50 yards away lovely river views. Lots of eating options within easy walking distance. AGA cooker took a bit of getting used to. Great for Eden Project, Fowey, Truro, Looe,Newquay etc. I couldn't think of anything we needed that wasn't provided.

A cosy and comfortable place to stay with lovely views over the river. Well positioned for exploring both the coast and inland attractions of this area. A pretty little town with interesting shops - great to have a convenience store so close too. We would second the recommendation of the food on offer at The Crown in Lanlivery - delicious!
