Gilly Skyber

About this property

Mawgan 1.4 miles. This semi-detached, barn conversion sits on outskirts of Garras, adjoining Mawgan, on the edge of the Lizard Peninsula. Gilly Skyber is set over two floors in a reverse level layout, offering a splendid accommodation for families and couples along with their canine companion. The interior is well thought out and space isn’t an issue, with the large open-plan living space set over the first floor and serving as the social hub of the home. Allow the designated chef to whip up a culinary treat in the kitchen, whilst the dining table is set with crockery and cutlery and a bottle of fizz is opened. After a filling feast, get the woodburning stove roaring and make yourself comfortable upon the sofa, chatting about the holiday itinerary. The bedrooms include a brass king-size and a twin, trimmed with soft red furnishings, which can be set-up as a king-size on request. Awaken from a leisurely slumber and start the morning with a quick shower in the bathroom, before heading outside for some morning light in the lawned garden. The immediate surroundings are rural and green yet there is a shop and pub within a mile and a half. Head in the centre of Helston and treat the group to a meal at one of the many restaurants, pubs, or cafés, including The Coffee Hut, and Ann’s Pasties or the award-winning Gear Farm for traditional pasties.
