“Charming Period Pad”

We stayed here and it’s lovely, a very elegant calm place, a large apartment in a grand house and gardens. Very good layout, big lounge and double bedroom plus two singles. Full kitchen albeit not huge coped with own meal making. The letting agent and owner were both super helpful. Good WiFi too.

“The apartment is really nice to come back to after a day out, clean and very comfortable.”

Its spacious and classy, elegant. The only downsides are that the bathroom is cold and the TV channels were locked with no PIN.
Mrs Palmer September 2018

“Flat was disappointing despite the very nice gesture of all the components for a cream tea on the table.”

The fridge was missing the front part of two glass shelves - and had obviously been switched off for cleaning - but not switched on again so on arrival, water had leaked out onto the kitchen floor. This was just as well as the floor was quite grubby (the floor by the freezer particularly) so the mop was useful on two counts. The decor is generally very tired; blinds in the kitchen and bathroom repeatedly failed (we appreciated the available step ladder to fix them each time), the curtains in the lounge had broken hooks so one curtain had a significant 'flap', the cold tap in the bathroom swivelled as it was turned off and on and the general cleaning was pretty poor.

“When we arrived at the property we were rather disappointed to see building work & materials at entrance, & an old car that had obviously been there quite awhile taking up space in the small parking area.”

The garden area consisted of some beautiful trees & shrubs, but apart from the lawn area in front of the house which was kept cut the rest was rather overgrown , including the Japanese garden. The apartment was spacious, well equipped & comfortable, but looking rather tired, & could do with some attention, including the lounge carpet. The beautiful Cornish country side more than made up for any shortfall in the apartment.
Mrs Fawcett May 2018

“We enjoyed our holiday and the apartment was as described - light & airy in beautiful grounds.”

If you are a couple and only using the main bedroom, you would be fine but, if you need to use the 2nd bedroom, the noise from the children in the next door apartment will wake you up - at around 6.30am every morning! They are very pleasant, happy children but you will be aware of them.
Ms Deegan March 2018

“Apartment was well appointed clean well equipped and comfortable.”

Welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Beautiful gardens in a quiet setting. The local os maps of footpaths were useful, as not all clearly marked en route. Good walking and picturesque countryside. Worth a trip if you need a rural get away from it all holiday.

Equipped with a double and twin bedroom, the apartment is light, spacious and comfortable.

There is a great living room with open fire and ample seating for four people.

Gwydhen sits amongst 3 acres of beautifully manicured gardens, including Japanese gardens and a zig-zag walkway.

In the vicinity, you will find safe beaches and coves including Durgan on the banks of the Helford River as well as Maenporth, Swanpool and Gyllyngvase between the apartment and Falmouth.

The South West Coast Path connects these beaches over stunning headlands that look out over Falmouth Bay linking various attractions and places to eat including the Ferry Boat Inn at Helford Passage and the public gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah.

About the location

CONSTANTINE

Falmouth 9 miles; Truro 14 miles.

A charmingly picturesque country village with a few shops, a pub and a lovely church, set among green rolling meadows and wooded valleys leading down to the beautiful Helford river, just 3 miles away. Famous for its mild climate, this quieter part of Cornwall has the outstanding gardens of Trebah, Penjerrick, Glendurgan and Carwinion all within 4 miles. For nature lovers and those who enjoy boats, the misty reaches of the Helford river meander upstream to Gweek, where the world renowned Seal Sanctuary looks after the region’s many abandoned and injured seals. Falmouth, with its narrow streets, natural harbour and National Maritime Museum is just 20 minutes by car, while Flambards theme park (8 miles) and Argal Lake with its water sports attractions make great days out. The nearby beautiful Lizard Peninsula, with its outstanding beaches and quaint fishing villages dotting the rocky coastline, has the benefit of outstanding scenery, tranquillity and some great walks.
