The property
Two miles from Mawgan, and two from Manaccan, above the Helford River, is Swift Cottage.
One of four cottages on a farm which produces award winning apple juice, cosy Swift Cottage is comfortable and welcoming, with beamed ceilings, squishy sofas (which can be a sofa bed) and an open fire in the sitting room.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need.
Stairs lead to two bedrooms – a pretty double and a room with child sized bunks.
They share a family bathroom.
As well as its own enclosed garden, guests can enjoy the owners fifty-five acres of fields and woodland with panoramic countryside views and woodland trails.
Children will love the outdoor play space, swings, football goals, climbing frames and sandpit, and the friendly owners will be happy to introduce you to their rabbits, ducks and hens.
For those not so sunny days, there is table tennis, a pool table, and games/toys, inside a large games cabin to keep everyone entertained.
If you can bear to tear yourself away from the onsite entertainments, the village of Mawgan-in-Meneage is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on Mawgan Creek, which leads to the Helford River.
From here it is a tranquil walk to National Trust Tremayne Quay, whilst the Seal sanctuary, and Flambards theme park both make for excellent family days out.
The beaches at Gunwalloe, Church Cove, and Poldhu are all within 5 miles for a more relaxed turn of pace.
