Enjoying a fabulous location next to the owner’s home, The Nest is an ideal place to stay for couples or a family of four searching for a place in Cornwall that offers the best of both coast and countryside.

It is conveniently located within easy reach of famous tourist spots like Helston and Falmouth.

Before unloading your belongings and making your way to your new house, park in the off-street parking area.

When you enter the home, you'll find a well-appointed shower area that's ideal for rinsing off after a day spent on the beach or hiking through the countryside.

Continue on to the kitchen, where you'll find a double electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge, and a freezer, as well as a convenient slimline dishwasher for easy clean-ups.

Here, you can whip up family favourites.

Tuck-in to a family favourite at the dining table for six or if the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the private, enclosed patio?

As the evening grows darker, gather your loved ones in the sitting room to enjoy a family film night on the Smart TV, as you snuggle up on the plush sofas in the warmth of the electric fire.

Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you can pour in the bubbles and indulge in a soothing soak in the bath or freshen up with a rinse in the shower, before catching your rest in one of two beautifully-decorated bedrooms.

Find the nearby, well-stocked Garras Lake where you can cast your line and reel in your catch of the day, sure to entice the keen anglers in your party.

Take advantage of your close proximity to the peaceful grounds of the Trelawarren Estate, where walking and cycling trails can be found in abundance through the 1000-acre site; make a splash at the swimming pool, or recharge with a steaming cup of coffee at the café.
