Relaxing stay

We had a lovely, relaxing stay in Pentye. The property was comfortable, clean and well equipped for two. It's in a good location for exploring the wider area and also great to sit on the balcony to watch the birds and ever changing tides of the river.

Lovely little house, very clean & had everything you need. Views from the terrace were amazing, perfect spot for a glass of wine while the river came up to our steps. Great local pub & shop & good base for exploring the local area if you can tear yourself away from the river. Would definitely stay again

Lovely accommodation in Lerryn

Lovely accommodation in beautiful Lerryn. The cottage is small but was plenty big enough for 2 adults and our dog. We enjoyed walking around Lerryn and driving around the area. We had good weather. We kept an eye out on the high tide, and we enjoyed watching all the wildlife on the river. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Relaxing week away

A perfect property for two persons wanting to relax in a peaceful environment with plenty of local walking options, and a great view of the river from the breakfast area and outdoor terrace. You can waste hours just sitting and watching the ebb and flow of the tide! Great food at the local pub which is about 30 seconds walk away!

Great Little Cottage in Fab location

Really enjoyed our stay. The property is compact ( as described) , well equipped and in a great location. There are excellent walks from the Village. Both the Village Shop and Pub are to be recommended. The River is ever changing and yes, at high tides does come over the road out side!

Hi Nick Thanks so much in taking the time to write a lovely review. We are so pleased that you had a good week. Watching the tide, boats and bird life is a real treat straight from the dining area window, especially when it comes right across the road to greet you. Hope you may return again one day for a week or short break. Kindest wishes Michele & Nick

Amazing views

We loved our stay at Pentye. The property has been beautifully converted into a very comfortable little house. We knew Lerryn from a previous visit many years ago so were delighted to find accommodation right next to the river. We spent many happy hours watching the tide & the birds and loved our riverside walks. It's a very special place and the village itself is a gem. Great location for exploring inland as well the south coast of Cornwall. Thanks to Michele for letting us stay in her delightful holiday home :)

Very quiet location, excellent views to the river. Great walks in the woods nearby and along the river. Everybody very friendly in Lerryn. Only drawback and I see from other reviews is the excedingly small wetroom. Once you have showered everything ends up getting wet. Perhaps the wetroom could have been bigger especially since there is some cupboard space which could have been integrated into the room.

Lerryn is a hidden gem and a relaxing and tranquil place to stay

We had a lovely and much needed break here in Lerryn. The village and surrounding areas are just stunning, tranquil and relaxing. The cottage is comfortable and clean and has all the things that you need with outstanding River views. Great place to have a glass of wine on the terrace in the evening watching the Kayaks and Boats on the river. The High Tides that the Owner warned us of came up daily on our stay although very exciting to see how far they come up. Would really recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday and cant wait to return .

Lovely Lerryn

A cosy, small cottage that is on the rivers edge (occasionally in the river with high spring tide lapping up & over the first step into the cottage). Compact space with everything you need in the kitchen. Parking wasn’t ever a problem, parked outside the village hall each evening to avoid the high tides. Wonderful setting, nothing quite like watching the ebb and flow of the river. Michelle responds quickly to any questions and was very helpful.
