  • "The property was excellent and modern with a great outlook and everything worked properly."

    Cleanliness of the property was good although some cutlery and cooking utensils were below standard, probably as left by the previous tenants. Access is by quite a steep outside staircase that could potentially be tricky for older people. There is a large parking area and garden available for use.

  • "Spires is a really lovely property with great views and a homely feel, helped with the fact that pets are allowed."

    The owners live close by and were friendly yet not intrusive. A good place to have a break away from The hustle and bustle.

  • "Wow what a find we nearly didn’t book because of the stairs what with my dodgie back/hip but so glad we did."

    Stunning apartment with beautiful views (deers in the meadow) . Apartment in a perfect place to visit all areas or to stay in and enjoy the peaceful view. One of the best equipped Holiday homes we have stayed in, hosts have thought of everything and more and great quality items too, the cream tea on arrival was a lovely thought, (tea, coffee and milk). The bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud, sweet dreams every night. Will definitely recommend and stay again when coming to the area again

    So pleased you had such a wonderful time in sunny Cornwall. We look forward to seeing you anytime. Property Owner

Carnon Downs 1.1 miles.

Situated on the outskirts of the quaint, rural village of Playing Place, Cornwall, is this wonderful holiday apartment, Spires.

With close access to the local amenities, a private balcony with stunning views, and well-positioned to explore nearby attractions, Spires welcomes two guests and two well-behaved dogs for an idyllic Cornish getaway.

Utilise the open-plan living space by whipping up delicious, home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, before settling down for an al fresco dinner on the balcony, taking in panoramic views of the surrounding countryside as you wine and dine.

As the evening grows darker, retire to the plush, well-presented bedroom, where you can drift off to a night’s refreshing embrace.

If you fancy exploring the local area, pop into the The Punchbowl and Ladle ton enjoy some pub grub in a traditional, cottage setting, or restock on essentials at the SPAR in Carnon Downs.

Whilst you're in the area, be sure to take a trip to the nearby National Trust location of Trelissick Gardens, a scenic estate perfect for riverside and woodland walks.

The cathedral city of Truro is a mere stone's throw away, home to the eponymous Truro Cathedral, as well as the lush Victoria Gardens and The Roseland Heritage Coast nature reserve.

Falmouth is a short drive away, a seaside town where visitors can spend a day relaxing on Gyllyngvase Beach or roaming the grounds of the historic Pendennis Castle.

Slightly further afield you can find Newquay, where Newquay Beach and Fistral Beach await eager beachgoers, whilst the landmark location of Huer's Hut serves up amazing views of the Atlantic coast.

About the location

CARNON DOWNS

Truro 3.5 miles; Falmouth 8 miles.

The lovely Cornish village of Carnon Downs offers a shop, Post Office and pub. Not too far away is the village of Portreath with its sandy beach, whilst the city of Truro and the popular town of Falmouth are within easy reach by car as is the north and south coastline with its sandy beaches, ideal for those wishing to surf or walk the coastpath. Fans of classic cars will enjoy a visit to Perranwell Station which gives you the opportunity to hire a Morgan car for the day. Also nearby in the Bissoe Valley is Bissoe Bike Hire where you can hire a bike and enjoy the sights of the old mining works and beautiful wooded valleys as you cycle coast to coast from Portreath to Devoran or just enjoy a snack in the café. Cornwall’s only city, Truro has a magnificent cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall, which is a theatre and concert venue, as well as a number of shops, pubs and restaurants. In Falmouth you will find a natural harbour - the third largest in the world. Here you will find boat trips up the Carrick Roads, safe beaches, the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle, which was built by Henry VIII and is the town’s most popular attraction. For garden lovers, there is not only The Lost Gardens of Heligan, but Trelissick, Trebah and Glendurgan, all of which are nearby. A short trip across the King Harry Ferry will take you to the beautiful Roseland Peninsular which is well worth a visit. With the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Land’s End within driving distance makes Carnon Downs a convenient base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
