Within easy access of the coastal paths to Maenporth Cove, Cove Trail Cottage is located in the Village of Gardens, a village of purpose built and privately owned self-catering holiday cottages at Pendra Loweth near Falmouth. It sits in a beautiful and peaceful valley and offers onsite facilities including tennis courts, children's outdoor play area and an indoor plunge pool, hot tub and steam room (seasonal opening hours). Designed with families in mind, it occupies a desirable setting with an almost secret garden opposite a little babbling brook. This welcoming end terraced cottage boasts a comfy and spacious open-plan living room with a contemporary kitchen and dining area. Head upstairs to three restful bedrooms accommodating up to six people (one with truckle bed to cater as a single or double bed) guaranteeing a good night's sleep and a family bathroom. Patio doors lead from the bright sitting to the private, sun patio at the rear and shared lawn. This makes a lovely haven for alfresco nibbles or a place to soak up the Cornish sunshine. The onsite facilities also include beautiful gardens and communal lawns for play and a ball court great for football and basketball. There is allocated parking for one car, plus visitors parking. The sandy stretch of sheltered beach at Maenporth is a gentle twenty minute walk through a path from the cottage. This lively cove, along with Swanpool, is great for a paddle or swim, hiring a rowing boat, playing mini golf or enjoying refreshment in the beach cafe. From here, ramble the South West Coastal Path to glorious Gyllyngvase Beach for a picnic. North Helford and Falmouth are perhaps the quintessential Cornish visitor destinations; a mix of beach, creek and woodland attractions alongside historical villages and towns, and clifftop Falmouth Golf Club one mile away welcomes visitors. Falmouth is home to the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle. Enjoy a stroll through the charismatic streets packed with superb restaurants, galleries and gift shops. Take a boat trip across the River Fal or head up stream towards Truro. This cobbled cathedral city offers a good retail experience, traditional inns, bars, a cinema and a theatre - providing entertainment for all ages whatever the weather. Situated in the beautiful and peaceful valley leading down to Maenporth Beach, Falmouth.

Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbourside pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry viii, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes).
