And things we would draw to your attention:
Firstly, Geranium cottage is just that - a traditional stone cottage in a small Cornish town, headroom in the beamed kitchen and bathroom is manageable but quite low.
The cottage is on two storeys and the staircase is steep,so probably not suitable for the less mobile and there are no ground floor bedrooms.
Like most properties in Lostwithiel and many Cornish towns, Geranium Cottage does not have off street parking. Street parking is available (no charge) on a first come, first served basis nearby and there is a large free public car park at the community centre some 500 yards
Policies:
Maximum Persons: 4
Smoking Policy: No smoking
Pets: No Pets
Check-in: Earliest 16.00
Check-out: Latest 10:00 AM
Children Policy: Children over 12 welcome- Because the stairs are steep and doors from the bedrooms open onto the staircase with just a small landing we do not think the cottage suitable for younger children but will talk with you if you think this is not a problem.
