Accommodation Details

The Old Vicarage Retreat is located in the quaint village of Luxulyan in the heart of Cornwall and provides an ideal base for exploring the vast Cornish peninsula. Although set in a peaceful village, the A30 is within easy reach and the location provides an ideal base, with many places of interest only a few minutes’ drive away. This idyllic retreat offers a wonderful escape for couples eager to explore an area steeped in history, with beautiful surroundings, including the Luxulyan Valley (a World Heritage Site) and close to the south coast. Following an afternoon’s ramble, pop off your walking boots and relax within the open plan living space, complete with plush seating from which you can relax and unwind into the evening. The contemporary kitchen houses all you could need and the large range cooker is sure to inspire some home cooking. On warm and pleasant days, why not bring the outside in by taking advantage of the large patio doors and perhaps enjoy a relaxing evening meal on the patio, whilst planning your next adventure. Discover the plush bedroom as you retire for the evening, settling into the welcoming king-sized bed and maybe watch a show from the large wall-mounted Smart TV. A new morning and the inviting en-suite with walk-in shower will set you on the right foot for another day of exploring. Luxulyan is a small village, yet it does offer a small local shop, post office and village pub. The shop and post office are a minute’s walk away, The Kings Arms 5 minutes’ walk away and renowned for its friendly atmosphere and selection of local ales. With the Luxulyan Valley, Eden Project, Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum, Charlestown (famous for the filming of Poldark), Fowey and The Lost Gardens of Heligan all close by, and the magnificent South and North coasts of Cornwall to explore - this really is the ideal base for a very special holiday. Get to know your surroundings even more by venturing along the Saints’ Way that runs from Fowey on the South coast, through the Luxulyan Valley and onto Padstow on the North Coast, or perhaps Bodmin Moor, opening up miles of wild landscapes across rugged terrain, or maybe head to Helman Tor, home to a patchwork of wildlife rich habitats across more than 500 acres - it’s a real hidden gem.
The small village of Luxulyan sits on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor, near St Austell. The village is known for the Luxulyan Quarry, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest to the north of the village, which exposes examples granite rock. The village offers some basic amenities for visitors, including a shop, village pub and a granite church.

Reviews
We are down to earth and look for quality, comfort and value for money. We stayed early August. Vicarage Retreat is pleasant, well presented and well equipped. There is nothing in the advert stating its attached to the main building, a bed and breakfast. There is no sound proofing between that and the retreat. There is a single locked internal down separating the two buildings. Morning is clattering of pots,, beating of eggs, and unsurpressed conversation all be it only lasting about an hour, non the less leaving you feeling uncomfortable and not private. One occasion a washing machine was vibrating through the wall, not good! The patio area out side is surrounded by overgrown vegitation and overlooked by the bed and breakfast accommodation adjacent to the retreat. Not private and unable to relax or feel secluded outside. Inside is very well presented however the recling sofa is not connected so upright seating only. One of the most frustrating issues we had was the shower, nothing more than a watering can flow ! Not what you need to start and finish the day. Would we stay again NO ! You can get much more for your money. We only booked as our normal retreat a few miles away, cheaper with fantastic views and layout was booked up.
Lovely self contained, self catering accommodation lovely gardens. Shame they didn't sound proof the adjoining wall as noise transfer can be heard in the kitchen/living area through the adjoining door/wall. Andy was very pleasant and helpful when we arrived, however female extremely rude when we had a visitor (family) who was told to leave the premises for no reason ? I'm confused if it was down to covid as they also ran a B/B within the same property and we didn't break any government rules and our accommodation was self contained we did not mix with other visitors to the property. The females attitude was inappropriate and spoilt our stay.
