Lesquite is an attractive 17th century farmhouse in a beautiful, and peaceful wooded valley between Polperro to the east and Fowey to the west. We
offer both bed and breakfast in the farmhouse for up to six persons, and self catering for two persons in a carefully renovated wagon house
and stable block adjacent to the house.
Lesquite, pronounced Less-quite and meaning "home at the end of a wood", nestles at the end of our farm drive in the midst of beautiful Cornish countryside,
and is an organic working farm. The farmhouse is of 17th century origin and has been carefully renovated to suit modern day demands, ensuring the visitor of a
first class holiday base.
We are within easy reach of Fowey, Polperro, Looe, St Austell, and the historic cities of Plymouth, and Truro. The Eden Project is just 35 minutes away.
Please see our Places to Visit page for more information.
Our accomodation is all comfortably furnished and centrally heated. The bed & breakfast accommodation has been awarded the English Tourist Board's prestigious
4 star Silver Award and is been included in the 'Which Magazine' Bed and Breakfast Guide. Our self catering accommodation is rated ETB 3 diamonds.
Lesquite is bounded on one side by a tributary of the river Fowey which meanders along the wilder edge of our garden and then down through the woods and on to the sea.
There are 2 woods at Lesquite, one with some very old oaks guarding the secrets of centuries and protecting the wild life beneath them. The other not so old, hiding
an otter holt constructed a couple of years ago, and still waiting for occupants, with a circular walk, which is steep and sometimes slippery but with lovely countryside views,
and with stunning bluebells and foxgloves.
The gardens are informal with lots of bulbs, trees and roses. We have tried to make it wildlife friendly, and you can see butterflies and moths, imagine badgers, foxes and
otters peeping through the undergrowth. Buzzards, barn owls and tawny owls live here, and moorhens and mallard hatch their eggs near the pond.
Lesquite is a haven of peace "a little bit of heaven on earth". As you come along our lane the peace and tranquility embraces you. Down the hill and suddenly
Lesquite opens up in front of you and from the moment you arrive we hope you experience and enjoy our informal but caring hospitality.
And expect a warm greeting from Treacle our ”big bear”.
