South East Cornwall
 Landaviddy Manor- Manor Cottage

South East Cornwall contains some of the most spectacular and beautiful countryside and coastline in the British Isles. The South West Way coast path, which stretches for over 600 miles from Minehead to Poole Harbour, follows the entire Cornish coast, with access to miles of sandy beaches, secluded coves and rugged cliffs.
Our properties are ideally situated in designated areas of outstanding natural beauty, within minutes of easy access to the South West Way and other footpaths and bridleways. Tackle the route from Polperro to Looe, catching a local boat back round the bay to appreciate the lovely harbour.
Sample the delights of Kingsands and Cawsands before taking the coastpath on to Cremyll and the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park for a cup of tea in the splendid Orangery. Let your children enjoy the huge expanse of sandy beaches at Whitsand Bay, or spend the day amid the seaside activities at Looe. Take a fishing trip and try your hand at catching your supper!
Picturesque villages, gracious National Trust houses, romantic ruined castles and magnificent gardens are there for you to explore.
