Description

Mawgan 1.2 miles.Tucked away in the quaint village of Garras near Mawgan in Cornwall, is this delightful two-bedroom, semi-detached cottage resting next to the owner’s home, The Nest.

Enjoying a wonderful location with easy access to the popular destinations of Helston and Falmouth, The Nest makes for a wonderful dwelling for couples or a family of four who are looking for the perfect blend of coast and country in Cornwall.

Park-up in the off-road parking space, before unloading your bags and making your way towards your new home-from-home.

Step into the property where you are immediately greeted by a well-appointed shower room, perfect for washing off sandy toes after a day at the beach.

Continue through where you will find a fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up family favourites with the help of the electric double oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, as well as a handy slimline dishwasher for those fuss-free clean-ups!

Savour a delicious meal at the dining table for six or take advantage of warmer weather and dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden.

As the evening cools, retreat to the sitting room to light the electric fire and snuggle up on the plush sofas as you watch your favourite show play out on the Smart TV.

When sleep calls, climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two tastefully decorated double bedrooms, both served by a generous bathroom where you can indulge in a blissful soak in the bath or refreshing rinse in the shower ahead of a day of adventure.

Explore your local surroundings, where keen anglers will be well-catered for with the nearby, well-stocked Garras Lakes where you can seek out your catch of the day.

The 1000-acre grounds of Trelawarren Estate provide an idyllic spot for a stroll, whilst the on-site restaurant is the perfect pit-stop to refuel.

For a wider selection of amenities, take the short drive over to Mawgan, where you can treat your loved ones to a tasty meal at the welcoming Ship Inn or stock up on any essentials at the well-stocked convenience store.

The bustling town of Helston is easily accessible, where you can wander the fascinating exhibits at the Museum of Cornish Life, enjoy the thrills at the Flambards Theme Park and peruse the plethora of pubs, shops and restaurants on offer.

For a day at the beach, head to Porthleven where you can spend a day bathing on the golden sands, building sandcastles with the little ones or paddling the shores.

There is also the picturesque harbour where you can watch the world go by as you tuck-in to fresh fish and chips with a stop at Rick Steins, or add a touch of elegance to your stay with your choice of Michelin Starred restaurants.

Explore more of your surroundings with a ramble through the scenic woodland and farmland at the stunning National Trust site of Penrose.

Further afield, you can visit Falmouth which is home to the National Maritime Museum and the impressive Pendennis Castle, as well as a selection of beautiful beaches, perfect for surfing, or venture over to Lizard where you can take to the waters with a lesson in scuba diving, or walk the magnificent Lizard Peninsula which offers incomparable views.

There's plenty more to see and do nearby; catch the park and float from Falmouth and spend the day shopping in Truro, take the train from St Erth to St Ives, or depart from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly aboard a ferry, plane or helicopter.

Those looking to escape the hustle and bustle can spend a quiet afternoon Church Cove Golf Club, or unwinding at Mullion Cove Hotel and Spa.

Whisk your loved ones away for an unforgettable stay at The Nest.

A delightful holiday cottage, attractively renovated and full of character and charm.

The accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped, and furnishings were of a high standard. The peaceful sunny garden was an additional attraction, as were the paintings by the owner, Lynne, and both she and Tim were extremely friendly and welcoming. The cottage is well situated for exploring this very special part of Cornwall, and the local well stocked village shop was a further bonus. Recommended!

The boiler packed up.Toilet door downstairs stuck.Freezer top compartment wouldn’t open.Fridge that would not close properly.All these were highlighted to the owner who only fixed the boiler.

The Nest was an ideal holiday home for us; country cottage rather than city chic with everything provided: if you couldn't find it, it was probably there!

You just needed to ask. Tim and Lynne were outstanding hosts: kind and very helpful without being intrusive, on hand because they live next door. Their concern was always that we should have a good holiday. The nest was very well placed for excursions: the Lizard is well worth exploring and there are many good beaches, places of interest and beautiful locations within easy reach. Highly recommended.
