The sociable kitchen is fully equipped, including a Rangemaster, with a circular dining table for get togethers over hearty breakfasts and evening feasts.

Follow the stairs up to the first-floor where you will find two welcoming bedrooms, one with a superking bed and the other a 4’ double bed. The contemporary shower room will ensure an invigorating start to the day, or wash away those sandy toes after a day on the beach, you can make use of the complimentary bath robes, perfect for a cosy night in.

A short drive to Falmouth harbour resort will provide a fun day out, with National Maritime Museum, historic Pendennis Castle, four fabulous beaches, coast path rambles and galleries to browse. With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs offering fresh local Cornish fayre and international cuisine, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Apple Tree Cottage will be a favourite, to return to again and again.

The civil parish and village of Gweek rests on the head of the Helford River, on the edge of the Lizard Heritage Coast in Cornwall. Resting moments away from the scenic walks and beaches of the Lizard peninsula, whilst also being close to the bustling towns of Helston, Porthleven and Falmouth, Gweek is a relaxing base for a staycation. Offering visitors sumptuous meals at the traditional pub and B&B of The Black Swan, whilst also offering a post office & convenience store, Gweek is well-equipped for a self-catered break. Gweek additionally enjoys access to the marvellous Cornish Seal Sanctuary, where visitors can tour the rescue centre and even spot an array of penguins, ponies, otters and goats! Avid walkers can enjoy hiking west along the river to the scenic point of Tremayne Quay, a place that is also ideal for any canine companions! Keep the kids entertained at Helston's fantastic Flambards Theme Park or board the heritage railway and experience the thrill of running through the mixture of the region's country and coastal scenery. Porthleven not only offers a stunning beach, but is bound to keep the history buffs of the group entertained with the nearby National Trust property of Penrose, a manor house with dog-walking opportunities, an on-site café and a stunning, adjacent lake of The Loe. With Helford Passage, Constantine and Maenporth resting a stone's throw away, Gweek truly enjoys an idyllic position that is perfect for any Cornwall adventure!
