About this property

Award winning cosy cottage with private hot tub & log burner

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 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 access to Cornwall Wildlife Trust wildlife education sessions for children (some of which are held at the farm).

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.

You are welcome to bring a well-behaved dog by prior arrangement (there is a £20 charge per dog).

After a day of exploring the Farm and nearby areas, relax with a drink in front of the roaring log burner – there is an ample supply of logs provided.

There are so many things to do here and out and about, but for any rainy days, the barn comes complete with a large flat screen television and Blu-Ray/DVD player. There are books, board games and DVDs in the the property for your use.

There are a number of bookable experiences and treats here at Lower Marsh Farm including private wild food foraging workshops, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), wine or gin tasting evenings, spa treatments, afternoon tea, suppers and more.

This is a NO SMOKING property with free Wi-Fi. Egyptian cotton bed linen, fluffy towels and heating are included. Early check-in (up to 2 hours at £10 per hour) / late check-out (by 1 hour at £20) can be booked - availability will be confirmed on request.

The magical Nature Reserve is rare salt marsh habitat and boasts an interesting array of flora and fauna. With herons, buzzards, egrets, kingfishers, pheasants, owls and bats galore, Lower Marsh Farms offers the nature lover over 40 acres of opportunities for rambling, bird watching, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the Cornish countryside.

In easy reach are beaches, fantastic gardens, and lots of activities for all ages. There are plenty of sailing opportunities in the nearby safe waters of the Tamar estuary and there is a yacht club approximately 1 mile away in Cargreen. For Golfers, a few miles away is the St Mellion International Resort and for non-golfers there are luxurious spa facilities.

Lovely property within fantastic quiet surroundings. We stayed in orchard cottage with hot tub which was great, also secluded garden for our dog, plenty to do including tennis and table tennis. Lovely walks directly from the property and so peaceful, only thing we heard was the farm peacocks and ducks on a morning at feeding time. We loved the log fire and cottage was so cosy. Only thing I could recommend is new mattress which would have made the stay even more comfortable than it already was but minor detail really.

A Little Gem in the Countryside

We absolutely loved the consistent level of tranquility throughout our stay. The host, Olivia, was attentive whenever we required anything or had any queries. The property is very comfortable, cosy and has an air of warmth that leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed when you leave. Being surrounded by ducks, peacocks and birdsong made our experience that much more special. The grounds are expansive and really taken care of by the owners. We had so much fun on the tennis court, which made for the perfect entertainment during our stay. We just wish that we had stayed there for longer than a week. In the future, we would very much love to return with our dog. It's definitely a place that will leave guests inspired by all the work that the owners have done with the property and land. Thank you for having us.

Beautiful relaxing location with access to stunning estuary views

Compact cottage ideal for one or two people. It had everything I needed for a relaxing stay tucked away in the countryside with access to local walks and stunning views. The owners were really friendly and helpful, and the pre-prepared meals you can order were delicious. All I needed for a short getaway.

Saltash stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay, the location was very good and the cottage was lovely. Our only feedback is that when we arrived there was a little bit of cleaning to be done in the kitchen and while we were a little bit late we were not shown around. The hot tub was great albeit we lost 1 day usage due to the control panel it didn’t fail but it was a bit tricky to work. The main attraction to the property for us was the private beach which was very different to what we expected from the rental description. It was a bit boggy, no water and very difficult to walk on and slippy.

Superb & comfortable weekend away in Idylic

From arrival to leaving, the cottage was an idyllic get away from noise and cars and super to come back to after we went out for a day when the weather allowed. Comfy, warm, everything you need. A superb bathroom and a great hot tub which was used across the stay whilst watching the ducks go by! Great local eggs from the ducks and hens. There’s also a beautiful peacock and peahen, to sit and admire! We order food for our arrival and some extras, it was all superb and every detail taken care of. Thank you Olivia, a special birthday weekend indeed.

Amazing property

Stayed at the cottage for our 25th wedding anniversary, when we arrived we had a card and a cake left for us also milk so we could have a cuppa. Beautiful cottage with everything you would need for your stay with beautiful views and walks to go on. Hot tub was amazing just lovely early evening with a glass of wine. Would recommend this place for any romantic get away. Had a wonderful time and hopefully book the bigger cottage to bring the children with us.

Staycation

Overall we really enjoyed our stay on Lower Marsh Farm - it was beautiful and so lovely to be able to walk around and see the other animals. We personally drove to other places during our stay as there isn't a huge amount to do in the immediate area, but it was lovely coming back to the peace of the cottage and sitting in the afternoon sun in the hot tub.

Blissful

Easy to follow directions from the owners, who greeted us on arrival. Inside was an unexpected welcome basket of delicious local goodies! The cottage is small but well equipped with everything we needed, in a perfect quiet location with dog walks galore, which is a must with 2 fairly unsociable dogs.. apologies to the resident golden boy who kept waiting at our gate for a play date!! All in all a wonderful stay in wonderful environmentally conscious surroundings. Watch out for the bedtime duck routine..its so sweet and was the highlight of every day...

Amazing Trip!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Orchard Cottage for 2 weeks and had such an amazing time. The property as a whole was perfect with all it had to offer. The cottage itself was absolutely perfect as well. We went in the hot tub almost every night. Olivia is a great host and is super nice. She had a little basket of goodies waiting for us when we arrived! Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this property! Would love to come back! Thank you Olivia!!

Peace!

Lovely host and lovely cottage, I took my hubby and 2 dogs to lower Marsh farm over the new year and we had such a relaxed few days, Olivia had left out a lovely welcome gift of apple juice and brownies which were divine! She also had dog bowls, towels and poo bags for the doggies! Oh and the Christmas tree was such a delight to have. The area itself is lovely with plenty of walks and only a short drive to a local supermarket... stock up on way as you'll probably not want to leave the cottage unless for a stroll :)
