Orchard Cottage; spacious grounds, hot tub, tennis

Multi-award winning Lower Marsh Farm, Landulph, is set within an Area of Outstanding National Beauty on the River Tamar. A former Duchy of Cornwall renowned daffodil farm, Lower Marsh Farm is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Landulph benefiting from the secluded feel of being a million miles from City life but with the convenience of being striking distance of modern amenities. Orchard Cottage (named after its private garden which overlooks the Orchard across to the Woods) is a Victorian Gothic style attached property which provides romantic cosy accommodation for 2-3 people staying at Lower Marsh Farm. Set all on the ground floor, it has been fully refurbished in 2016 with a modern eat-in kitchen, stylish bathroom, comfortable living and sleeping area with oak flooring and a wood burner. Guests have full access to all of our on-site amenities – including tennis court, games room, orchard with a hammock for relaxing and admiring the view, basketball hoop, private woodland and tidal shingle river beach. Watch for wildlife on the Salt Marsh Nature Reserve grazed by gorgeous Highland Cows. While staying here, you can benefit from discounted tickets for the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project and access to Cornwall Wildlife Trust wildlife education sessions for children which include mini-beast safaris, rock pooling events and bird box making. Children and babies are welcome and we have a cot and high chair available by prior arrangement (plus can provide baby bath, kitchen cupboard door locks etc). We have ample parking and storage areas for bikes, surf boards. The studio room has a king sized bed (which can be configured as 2 singles on request), a double sofa bed and we can also provide a cot if needed.
