  • "Really nice quiet place to stay with relatively easy access to the rest of Cornwall."

    It’s located roughly halfway between Constanine and Porkellis just south of the A394 in Seworgan. Whichever road you take to get there is single track with close hedging, blind bends & passing places but usually no traffic issues. Kitchen has everything you need,. Bedroom comfy bed but no extra tv. Bathroom top notch and well appointed. Main living area has plenty of room with fold out dining table & chairs opening onto decking, the entrance door could be improved by the use of a privacy blind but this is minor as there are no neighbours other than the goats a couple of fields away and mostly blocked by another building. Slight downsides are a sinking sofa, wall mounted tv which doesn’t move and intermittently noisey kitchen fan. Broadband speed registered between 10-12 Mb/s. The owners are really nice & helpful. We would stay again & recommend the Reading room.

    Sarah and Ross have clearly put a lot of time and effort into the property and this shows in it's comfort and the finish inside. The property was warm and comfortable, which was ideal for coming back to after being out and about throughout the day. The initial welcome to the property was made even nicer by the lovely gift pack that was left by the hosts. I can't recommend the place highly enough. We would love to come back again.

The property

The Reading Room is a beautiful converted chapel settled in the hamlet of Seworgan near Constantine in Cornwall.

This stone-built property is single-storey and enjoys original features with its vaulted beamed ceilings, along with contemporary décor.

Bring along your other half for a romantic escape to the Cornish countryside and park up in the off-road parking space.

Stepping through the French doors, discover the bright and airy living space, with a stylish kitchen area to whip up culinary delights courtesy of the electric oven and hob.

When dinner is served, take a seat at the dining table and toast to your hideaway; afterwards unwind on the plush sofa to flicker through the Smart TV.

On sunny days, why not bask in the sun on the outdoor furniture, where a barbecue entices you to rustle up tasty treats?

As the evening draws to a close, retire inside and have a soothing soak in the bathroom and after you can relish the warmth of the underfloor heating beneath your feet.

Climb into your pyjamas and snuggle up in the double bed with a hot chocolate; bedside lamps tempt some late-night reading.

The Reading Room is nestled in a 13 acre small holding home to a flock of native sheep, goats and Harry the Cleveland bay horse.

Views from the property extend over rolling pasture and wooded slopes down to the stream which in turn feeds into the Helford River in Gweek (a good three mile stomp away).

The village of Gweek has a shop selling local produce, a cafe, a pub and is home to The Cornish Seal Sanctuary (a perfect day out for animal and nature lovers alike).

The superb gardens including Penjerrick, Glendurgan, and Carwinion are also all within 4 miles, as well as Trebah, a sub-tropical paradise with a stunning coastal backdrop.

Embark on an adventure to the coastal town of Falmouth, where history buffs can marvel at the grand Pendennis Castle (built by Henry VII), unwind on Gyllyngvase Beach to savour the seaside views or why not go to Porthleven to one of the many great eateries and restaurants.

The Reading Room is a superb base for beach days, delicious food, cycling, walking, and exploring tranquil gardens.

For a romantic break like no other, choose this beautiful property.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Falmouth 7.1 miles; Truro 13.4 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.
