Certificate of Excellence for Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottages

Certificate of Excellence for Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottages

Wednesday, June 17, 2015

The dining room at Restormel Manor

Restormel Manor has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor for consistently great reviews from travellers. The properties in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, are directly owned and managed by the Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottage business which offers a range of luxury properties across Cornwall, Wales and the Isles of Scilly.

Overlooked by Restormel Castle, the Manor House and its cottages are located in unspoilt countryside next to the River Fowey. Reviewers were impressed by the quality of the décor and facilities including log fires, games room, children's play area, tennis court, swimming pool and a new sauna and steam room.

“"I struggle between keeping this gem a secret or sharing but as I luckily stumbled across it on the internet and they treated us so well, I guess it's only fair to sing its praises."”

“"The Manor House and the Cottages are all equipped to the highest possible standard and the pleasure of arriving for a break in one of these beautiful properties simply cannot be beaten. Our visit in June/July this year was our third this year - evidence that we are really rather hooked!" ”

“"We had a wonderful time whilst staying at Restormel Cottages. The quality of the accommodation and surroundings was exceptional. The pool was fantastic and perfect if you have little ones. We will most definitely be making return visit."”

James Scott, Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottages, said: "Our entire team at Restormel are delighted to receive a Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor. It is a reflection of the pride and dedications shown by our hardworking staff."

In-keeping with the views of HRH The Duke of Cornwall, the aim is to make Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottages as environmentally-friendly as possible with green electricity, renewable energy heating systems, recycling and composting facilities and logs from our own woods.

Some Duchy holiday cottages welcome up to two well-behaved dogs. Finishing touches include organic linen, Egyptian cotton sheets and welcome packs made up of local and fairtrade products. Guests can enjoy BBQs, complimentary fishing, bike rentals delivered to the door, a children's play area and free wi-fi throughout.
