An area for ball games, garden furniture, ample parking and a laundry room with a washing machine and tumble drier which are free to use. Overlooking a pretty garden area, the delightful stable conversion is ideally situated to explore this lovely area of Cornwall, including Looe (where the BBC drama Beyond Paradise is filmed) and Polperro with lovely sandy beaches. The International St Mellion golf course is approx. 8 miles away and there are several other golf courses close by. On the north coast you have the surfing capital of the UK at Newquay. The Eden project is approx. 24 miles away and there are many National Trust properties in the area. The town of Liskeard is 5 minutes/2 miles away for all your shopping needs, with supermarkets and lots of smaller independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Local takeaways in the area deliver so can have a break from cooking! Let the children run free in the large grounds, and make as much noise as they want, while you sit back and relax and make yourself at home.

Fabulous cottage with everything you need.
There were 5 adults + Sophie our dog.
Leah & Stephen are fantastic hosts really friendly and helpful.
The 5 acre field was great for walking our dog with plenty of pathways cut for ease of walking.
Situated in the country side and yet only a short drive to Liskeard, looe & Polperro.
Liskeard has 2 supermarkets which are only a few minutes drive away.
We will be back.

A welcome break
We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The cottage was warm and homely. All the kitchen appliances/utensils were clean and available. Parking was adequate. Car most definitely a must.

Comfortable cottage with friendly and helpful owners nearby.
The cottage was very comfortable for a family of four and one dog. Well equipped with all we needed it was lovely to find all we needed to make a brew on our arrival after a long journey.
With a dog, the field opposite was great for exercising her in the morning and evening.
The owners were very helpful and when the kettle broke had a replacement by the tie we returned from our day out.
Would highly recommend

Hiya, so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, hopefully the new kettle lasts longer than the previous one, which was just outside the one year warranty period, isn't that just typical! Hope to see you all again one day!

The most lovely stay!
We visited Leah and Steve's gorgeous property with my husband, his brother and his sister, and had the most fabulous time. The property is beautiful, with all the commodities we could possibly think of, including tea to enjoy as soon as we arrived (perfect for relaxing after a long drive!), board games which were great fun after long days spent exploring the incredible Cornish peninsula, a washer/dryer, free parking, and more. Leah and Steve were on hand if we needed anything during our stay. We loved enjoying the outside area around the cottage, and had never seen so many stars in the night sky as on a clear night from Leah and Steve's private field right next to the cottage! We only wish we had more time, but will definitely be back! Thanks again!!

Lovely place - great for our dog too
A great setting outside of Liskeard, there's an enclosed mown field for dogs to run around in, with picnic tables to relax.
The cottage itself is well appointed, with wi-fi too, and all was spotless.
The road noise is something I'm not used to, as the cottages back onto the A390, but it does quieten down of an evening.
Liskeard has a Morrisons and an Aldi, both a few minutes away by car. You do need a car - there's not a huge amount within walking distance.
The hosts are lovely and welcoming. Would recommend :-)

Perfect holiday cottage near Liskeard.
The location of the cottage is quiet and peaceful, inside very clean and comfortable with everything you need including a laundry. Leah and Steve made you very welcome on arrival. This is one cottage I would go back to.

Fantastic Cottage
We had a fantastic stay at Venton House Cottage, great location for a base to enjoy Cornwall.
Cottage was spotless and details of cleaning were available to view which is important during these challenging times.
The owners Leah and Steven could not have been anymore welcoming and helpful.
Overall a great place to stay especially with dogs as the enclosed field was fantastic to give them a walk.

Perfect
We've had the most fantastic time in Cornwall. The cottage is really comfy and clean. Owners were an absolute delight and made sure we had everything we needed. Leah and Stephen are the perfect hosts. We didn't want to leave we felt so at home! The children will miss running in the field and the secret paths. Can't wait to come back next year!
