Welcome to stunning Lamellen House.
What a treat - a heated indoor pool.
Lamellen House is presented in a style that complements the house but makes you feel totally relaxed and at home.
There's a choice of seven bedrooms on offer.
Anyone for tennis?
Step inside the sitting-room.
The early sun streams into the first sitting-room, making this the morning room.
The open fire will be a welcome sight on those out-of-season breaks.
Of course there's a grand piano - I feel a tune coming on!
Another open fire to keep you warm and toasty of chillier evenings.
Colours and print are mixed with abandon, as is typical of a grand house creating a relaxed atmosphere with a sense of heritage.
This is a bookworm's paradise, it's a great library and if that's not enough there are so many more books throughout the house.
When you want more formal dining or a celebratory meal, lay the table.
Plenty of room for all to gather, what wonderful mealtimes you will have.
Why not retire for a game of snooker after dinner?
The magnificent staircase makes a real statement.
The kitchen/breakfast-room is very much the working heart of the home.
The kitchen is well-equipped to cater for a crowd including the large Aga, as you would expect in a country house, and a further range oven.
The artwork at Lamellen adds character, tells a story and adds a sense of personality.
We just love the wallpaper in the downstairs cloakroom.
It's one very grand and very special house.
Bedroom one has a romantic canopied bed.
The patterned curtains perfectly dress the mullion windows.
Bedroom one has the luxury of a large dressing area, with a separate sink and oodles of storage.
The en suite can be accessed from bedrooms one and two.
Another grand and spacious room is on offer for the guests who are staying in bedroom two.
The beds can be made up as twin beds or a super-king double - the choice is yours.
There's a little vanity unit for those staying in the second bedroom.
A wonderful, grand, king-size canopied bed in bedroom three.
A little area of the bedroom to hide away, chilling out with a good book and soaking up the setting.
The third bedroom has a large en suite bathroom to enjoy long leisurely holiday soaks.
The family shower-room.
Even the family shower-room has a great view.
Take a peak into bedroom four.
Depending on which your prefer, this room can have twin beds or a super-king double.
Plenty of bedtime reading and a TV for the guests in bedroom four.
And yet another en suite, this time for bedroom four.
Like most of the bedrooms, bedroom five also has flexibility as to how the beds are set up.
Take a pew at the weekend and simply enjoy all that surrounds.
The en suite to bedroom five can also be accessed from the hallway..
Bedroom six also has the option to be set up as twin beds or one super-king size bed, offering great flexibility for your party.
There are twin beds in bedroom seven.
Such a peaceful space.
This is one very special house that will keep everyone entertained.
If you don't fancy a dip, you can simply pull up a chair and watch the others at play.
Why not have some holiday meals, poolside.
Step inside and a warm Cornish welcome awaits you.
Lamellen House stands majestically in the grounds of the estate.
The large terrace beckons you outside to enjoy your meals in the Cornish sunshine, freshly prepared on the barbecues and pizza oven.
The pizza oven is another treat.
The grounds are simply stunning with camellias, magnolias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas creating a colourful display. Please take care with young children around the pond - which is set a distance away from the house.
The grounds are yours to explore.
The pretty village of Port Isaac is close by. This is a destination hotspot being the home of TV's 'Doc Martin', The Fisherman's Friends and celebrity chef Nathan Outlaw.
The beach at Polzeath is an absolute stunner, adored by families and surfers alike.
The trendy fishing town of Padstow needs little introduction, home to Rick Stein and other celebrity and acclaimed chefs, it has put Cornwall well and truly on the culinary map.
The popular St Kew Inn is nearby and well worth a visit.
For a complete change of scenery, head out to the dramatic landscape of Bodmin Moor.
The sheltered waters of Daymer Bay makes this beach ideal for younger members of the family.
A cycle along the Camel Trail is a real thrill. 17 miles in total from Bodmin Moor out to Padstow on the coast but don't worry, you can join it at various points along the way.
The nearby village of Boscastle.

TwinCome and enjoy a country break like no other, at the glorious quintessential Cornish estate of Lamellen. Wend your way up the drive, passing the beautiful show of camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons along the way, waiting for your first glimpse of Lamellen House as she appears majestically before you. You're in for a treat.
Welcoming up to 14 guests, this stunning Victorian manor house is perfect for celebratory escapes, multi-generational summer stays or a good excuse for friends to get together. Behind the splendid façade and impressive front door is a much loved and much lived-in family home, with decor that complements the heritage of the house, creating a warm and most importantly very relaxing holiday retreat.
Start the day with a morning dip in the pool, followed by a full English, courtesy of the Aga of course, and then maybe a set or two of tennis. Burrow your way through the stacked bookcases and wander the 18 acres that surround you, as you revitalise your senses in this wonderful place.
Eat, drink and be merry at mealtimes, challenge the Ronnie O'Sullivan within you with a frame of snooker and retire to the sitting-rooms to throw another log on the fire as you enjoy time together playing charades, board games and having a good old sing-song around the grand piano - don't worry no-one will hear you.
And don't forget your four-legged friend, as a holiday here knocks any stay at the kennels out of the park.
What are you waiting for - let your getaway begin!
Lamellen House has been the home to the same family for generations and you can feel the love and warmth throughout. The current owners now live elsewhere on the estate, on hand should you need any help but leaving you in peace to start creating cherished holiday memories.
With wonderfully spacious accommodation there is plenty of room to party, play or just be together, with quiet places to break away for some private time. Sink into the sofas in the morning and drawing rooms, snuggled up in front of the warming flames of the fire. The shelves are bursting with books to keep the most avid bookworm entertained. A large table awaits in the dining-room for more formal meals, however, you may prefer to dine poolside or out on the terrace in the sunshine, with meals served up from the barbecue and pizza oven.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the working heart of the house, with an Aga and separate range-style cooker, perfect when catering for a large group. But if you fancy a night off cooking, why not hire a personal chef for the evening and have a real celebration?
If you need to work when you are away, there is a private office offering you peace to concentrate and hopefully get the work down quickly so you can get back to having some holiday fun again.
Lamellen House flaunts seven bedrooms, two with grand half-canopied beds, and five bath/shower rooms, so plenty of options for bathing and should you require more there are shower facilities by the pool.
Nestled in glorious countryside close to the village of St Tudy, with its popular gastro pub and community shop, if you want to get out and about, this is a great base for exploring all the delights of north Cornwall. With easy access to the A39, you will soon be off on further adventures.
Embrace the great outdoors, as you head out along coastal footpaths, enjoy a day on the beach at Polzeath, Trebarwith and Daymer Bay or try your hand at sailing or surfing at trendy Rock. Let the whole group have some fun on two wheels as you hit the Camel Trail as it winds its way from Wenford Bridge on Bodmin Moor to fashionable Padstow on the coast, where culinary delights are served around every corner. The pretty fishing village of Port Isaac has been put well and truly on the map, home to The Fisherman's Friends, TV's Doc Martin and two acclaimed chef Nathan Outlaw's restaurants. For Arthurian myth and legend take a trip to Tintagel and the gardens and historic houses at Pencarrow and Lanhydrock are a delight.
