General
Step Inside
Nestled beneath stunning vaulted ceilings, the thoughtfully designed living spaces of The Little Cider House exude peace and tranquillity, warmed in the chillier months by underfloor heating and a wood burner. Bathed in neutral tones with notes of nautical blue, its calming composition pays homage to both the cabin’s country roots and the seaward waterways of the River Fowey nearby. With everything you need for staycation bliss, the open-plan living space features a fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a gas hob, gas oven (with electric grill), fridge, kettle, toaster, and dishwasher. Rustle up platefuls of wholesome local fare and gather together over the foldout dining table inside, or head outside around the parasol-topped picnic table for alfresco feasts.
When day turns to dusk, find two beautiful bedrooms in The Little Cider House for nights of blissful slumber. The first, the master bedroom, features a king-size bed tucked behind a partial partition with pretty floral design and verdant views. Ideal for children, the second bedroom has a sweet triple bunkbed in a clever crisscross design. Finishing the picture is a modern family bathroom with a waterfall shower.
Outdoors
Step outside The Little Cider House to uncover a rural idyll just perfect for eschewing modern life and reconnecting with nature with your loved ones by your side. Make a celebration of each morning with relaxed rituals on the sun-dappled deck, from slow vinyasa stretches to quiet moments with mugs brimming with something delicious. When you’re ready to explore, the private grounds surrounding the cabin blend with manicured and untamed wilderness for serene walks in the open air as birds chatter in the trees. Meanwhile, the outdoor fire pit and barbecue are a dream for leisurely lunches and sun-soaked suppers of local, flame-grilled fare and plump, toasted marshmallows. For utmost relaxation, disappear into the cosy embrace of the hammock and the pages of your favourite book, or sink into the bubbling depths of the outdoor hot tub for alfresco luxuriation as feathery clouds drift lazily across the sky above.
Explore
Whether you are seeking adventures straight from your doorstep or looking to discover some of Cornwall’s best attractions, The Little Cider House couldn’t be better placed. To find the county’s antiques capital, head over to the historic town of Lostwithiel less than a mile away, where riverside streets await with shops and markets filled with vintage curios. One of its most famous features, the town is also home to the 12th-century Restormel Castle. Managed by English Heritage, the striking castle is one of the most remarkable in the UK and boasts views over the Fowey Valley. If you can’t wait to be beside the seaside, the beloved towns of Fowey and Looe can be easily reached and promise an abundance of rich history and natural beauty. They are also famed for their award-winning eateries, such as the Michelin Bib Gourmand Sardine Factory in Looe and North Street Kitchen in Fowey. To carry on adventuring, you can also hop on the ferry from Fowey to either Bodinnick or Polruan for a fun and novel way to explore the south coast’s hidden coves and beaches. For garden magic, the dog-friendly trails of Lanhydrock weave through hundreds of acres of landscaped gardens, countryside, and woodland. Meanwhile, the world-renowned Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan both await nearby for enchanting adventures in fairytale scenery. Should you feel like a different way to explore, there are also unforgettable cycling opportunities nearby at Cardinham Woods and the Camel Trail, which leads you to Padstow in one direction and the rugged moors of Bodmin in the other.
