Lornas sleeps 6 + baby

This lovely house is comfortably spacious, bright and airy. All rooms apart from the second bathroom have the superb view pictured above. Upstairs are the double bedroom with own tv and video, a superb bay window and en suite bathroom, and two twin bedrooms using the second bathroom with bath on the landing. Downstairs are the kitchen and the living cum dining room, which has an open fire and a lovely large bay window overlooking your garden and the river.

The delightfully situated house is in an idyllic hamlet. Its south-facing garden with a path running down to the water’s edge offers peace and tranquility in the very centre of Cornwall. The local shop and post office run by John Williams will get you most things. Place a grocery order with him on 01872 270635 and it will be in your cottage on arrival. Malpas also has its own public house, the Heron Inn.

The Nature Conservancy Council have made this part of the estuary “a site of special interest”. At low tide fishermen can dig for bait and the ornithologist may quietly watch some 65 species of beautiful birds exploring the river banks. The heronry opposite will give hours of enjoyment whether you are inside the cottage or outside, having a drink and perhaps a barbeque while enjoying the panoramic views.

Whether you want an active holiday or just a few days in the sun, the area is ideal. It is a walkers’ paradise. The sheltered waters provide a good base for the sailing enthusiast, and the river offers bass, mackerel, whiting and pollack to provide sport for the fisherman. There are scenic river trips from Malpas down to St. Mawes and Falmouth. Tennis courts, swimming pool, golf and driving range are close by. With Truro, a cathedral city, only three miles away, you are able to enjoy excellent shopping and restaurant facilities.

Within easy motoring distance from your cottage you will find many sheltered sandy coves on the south coast, the picturesque Roseland and beautiful wooded Helford River, famous tropical gardens and heritage properties.

Riverside is ideal for fishermen, bird watchers, ramblers, yachtsmen and families alike.

The house and cottage are joined to one another, with separate gardens, and share a path down to the foreshore.

The house is equipped with colour Freeview TV and Video/DVD, fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble drier, iron and ironing board, garden furniture and portable BBQ. All rooms have river views, except one of the bathrooms, and either night storage or thermostatically controlled heaters.
