Cornwall Self Catering cottage, 2 Streamside, Lanreath, sleeps 4

Peaceful streamside lodge with wraparound deck, private hot tub and woodland views. A cosy, pet-friendly escape near Looe and Fowey, with bright open-plan living, wood burner and easy access to beaches, coast path and family attractions.

Tucked away beside a gently flowing stream and surrounded by lakes, woodland and wildlife, 2 Streamside is a peaceful, single-storey lodge set within unspoilt Cornish countryside near the village of Lanreath. Just a short drive from Looe, Polperro, Talland Bay and Fowey, this is a wonderfully private retreat for couples, families, friends and dog owners looking to slow down, switch off and explore Cornwall's coast from a tranquil base. The lodge sits within a generous plot, offering a good sense of seclusion, with solar-lit steps guiding you up to the entrance.

Outside, a wraparound deck creates a calm, leafy setting to relax, dine outdoors or sink into the bubbling hot tub beneath the trees, listening to the stream and birdsong rather than traffic. Inside, the open-plan living space feels bright, airy and welcoming, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beam and large windows drawing the outdoors in. Comfortable leather sofas, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner make this an inviting spot for relaxed evenings in, whether after a beach day or a woodland walk.

Doors open straight onto the deck, creating an easy flow between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The kitchen is neatly arranged and well equipped for effortless self-catering, from lazy breakfasts to hearty evening meals, with a dishwasher on hand to keep things easy. A dining table sits close by, perfect for sharing food, conversation and plans for the next day's adventures.

When it’s time to unwind, two calm and comfortable bedrooms await. The king-size bedroom offers a restful retreat with a dressing area, armchair and en-suite walk-in shower, while the twin room is ideal for children or additional guests. A second modern shower room, complete with heated towel rail, ensures everyone can warm up and refresh after coastal walks or countryside exploring.

Beyond the lodge, guests can enjoy gentle walks from the doorstep, nearby gentle trails, plus the South West Coast Path within easy reach. The surrounding area is rich with places to explore, from the harbour towns of Looe and Fowey to the timeless charm of Polperro. Family favourites such as the Eden Project, Adrenalin Quarry, Carnglaze Caverns and Porfell Wildlife Park are all close by, while beach lovers can choose from East Looe Beach, Readymoney Cove, Talland Bay, Seaton and Lantic Bay, many of them dog friendly year round.

With its hot tub, peaceful natural setting, cosy interiors and excellent access to Cornwall's coastline and attractions, 2 Streamside is a relaxed and welcoming lodge, ideal for scenic dog-friendly breaks, low-season escapes by the fire, and memorable holidays at any time of year.
