Base yourself in one of our Lostwithiel holiday cottages and the entirety of Kernow is at your feet. Its position at the head of the Fowey estuary is almost equidistant between Cornwall’s two coasts. Within easy reach of Cornwall’s beaches and moorland, it’s a great spot from which to explore the real Cornwall beyond the tourist hotspots.

Lostwithiel is Cornwall’s antique capital. In addition to curios aplenty, independent boutiques and delis showcase fabulous local produce and artisans in some of the town’s fascinating old buildings. This place at the end of the woodland, as its name translates from Cornish, has Norman roots and a tin mining heritage. Lostwithiel’s pivotal role in the industry made it a stannary town, or administrative centre for tin mining. And Restormel Castle that housed the Norman settlers awaits your visit.

Stay in Lostwithiel to see another side to Cornwall and keep coming back for more.
