About the property

NEWLY BUILT MODERN LOFT APARTMENT IN TRADITIONAL RURAL SETTING

Clip-Clop Loft is accessed via external stairs and situated above a store room making it ideal for couples looking for a quiet retreat, or two friends looking for an enjoyable break in the countryside. The owner's riding school is directly opposite the property where guests can enjoy horse riding and tuition by prior arrangement. Nestling in a rural setting, the converted loft is a few hundred yards walk from the village which has a 12th century pub, whilst the Saints Way passes the property and offers excellent walking. The market town of Lostwithiel is close with shops, restaurants and pubs as well as Restormel Castle which overlooks the River Fowey and makes a pleasant location for a picnic. The beautiful harbour of Fowey is also within easy reach, where the renowned author Daphne Du Maurier lived. A festival is held each May, which is a celebration of her life and work. Fowey Regatta week (August) is a popular event, with competitive sailing events, street carnival, the Red Arrows display team and much more. The picturesque and unspoilt harbour of Charlestown is also worth a visit. Built in the early 19th century for the export of copper and china clay, it is home to a collection of old ships which have been used in film projects, and its Shipwreck and Heritage Centre has the largest UK collection of artefacts and treasure recovered from shipwrecks. Clip Clop Loft is also ideally placed to visit some of the many National Trust properties including Llanhydrock House with its extensive grounds. The Eden Project and Bodmin Moor are also easily reached, as are the North Cornish coastal towns of Tintagel, Port Isaac, Boscastle and Padstow.
