From the owner

This secluded, extra-comfortable and carefully maintained self-catering chalet — a perfect refuge in summer and winter alike — is hidden away in a corner of one of Cornwall’s most unspoiled and beautiful areas, the Roseland Peninsula, bordered on one side by the famous sailing waters of the Carrick Roads, on the other by the English Channel.

The chalet offers a spacious, triple-aspect living/dining room with French doors giving onto a full-width west-facing verandah (just perfect for that evening drink), a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, including one en suite, and two bedrooms — a double-bedded master bedroom, and a second bedroom with two single bunks (there is also a drop-down double bed in the living/dining room, cunningly disguised as a bookcase!) With state-of-the-art insulation in walls, floors and ceilings, the chalet is cool in summer and exceptionally snug in winter (when the thermostatic panel heaters also come into their own). At the front there is a south facing dining patio.

Set amongst lawns and trees at the very narrowest point of the peninsula, with views over woods and farmland, the chalet (one of just five on the site) is 400 metres from the wonderful sandy Towan beach on one side, and 100 metres from a picture-book winding creek and its tidal estuary on the other. It offers perfect peace — but also proximity to a unique range of attractions, not least the astonishing Eden Project. There are some excellent country inns in the vicinity — and a superb 7-day village shop in Portscatho plus a butchers, just over a mile away, which also offers other useful amenities such as a GP practice with its own dispensary, a pub, and even a butcher’s shop.

Besides yourself and your belongings you need only bring kitchen/bathroom consumables, and linen for the bedroom duvets and pillow case covers.

PLEASE NOTE

Covid 19 Update: Until the virus subsides we are asking guests to bring their own pillows as well as their own sheets, duvet covers, pillow case covers and other laundry.

In season there is a Weber charcoal barbecue unit which is situated beside the front patio.

Further details outdoors

Driving right down to the chalet is fine from circa May to circa mid-September — but for the rest of the year the topsoil is almost always too soft. The chalet is a short walk down past the other four chalets in this beautiful private setting.

A wheelbarrow is provided for moving heavy baggage or shopping.

The nearest postcode for satnavs is TR2 5EX, but please note the chalet has no actual postcode. Precise travel directions and map will be sent to guests.
