Based in the scenic region of South West England, just five miles from the charming maritime town of Falmouth, this self-contained wooden cabin offers a serene retreat for two guests. Nestled in a lush valley and less than a mile from the idyllic village of Durgan, the cabin is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Helford River. The property is set within the grounds of the owner’s home, where a gentle stream meanders through the gardens, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the location.
The cabin is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Mawnan Smith, providing easy access to local amenities, including a traditional thatched roof pub and a small store. Guests can enjoy leisurely walks to the nearby waterside hamlet of Durgan, as well as to the renowned Glendurgan and Trebah gardens, which feature exotic plants and expansive grounds that lead down to the river. Additionally, the vibrant town of Falmouth, known for its National Maritime Museum, is just a short drive away, while the historic city of Truro, with its stunning cathedral and diverse shopping options, is within a thirty-minute journey.
The cabin boasts a sunny south-facing position with grassy areas ideal for sunbathing, complemented by a gravel terrace furnished with garden furniture and a traditional Cornish stone barbecue. The grounds, while scenic, are not fully enclosed, necessitating supervision of pets, as the property is pet-friendly and welcomes up to two dogs. The owners are accommodating and can arrange for the storage of boats and trailers on the premises, ensuring a hassle-free experience for guests who enjoy water activities.
Access to the cabin is via a shared gravel driveway with parking available for one vehicle on a sloped surface. While the cabin does not provide a highchair or cot, guests are welcome to bring a travel cot for infants. The property is designed for a maximum of two adults and one infant, and it offers a loyalty discount and a laundry service upon request. With its combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty, this cabin is an excellent choice for couples seeking a peaceful getaway in Cornwall.
