About this property
The Round Field Annex has been extensively refurbished, emerging as a beautifully elegant and contemporary hideaway for two. Styled in cool tones of white, grey and charcoal, the apartment has been designed with simplicity and comfort in mind. The apartment benefits from electric heating, Venetian blinds and several lamps to create a cosy and snug ambience. You'll love the peaceful location too; it really is a perfect choice for relaxing and recharging, without having to travel miles for restaurants and attractions. The Annex stands inside the gateway of the Round Field house, a Neolithic settlement site that is listed by English Heritage. The Round is 151m above sea level, and 130m in diameter, and is thought to be the very first Mawnan Smith community!
Mawnan Smith takes its name from the smithy that was situated in the centre of the village where two old trackways met. One led to the ferry at Helford Passage, and the other wove its way up to the St Maunanus church, on the cliff overlooking the Helford River. The village itself is set between Falmouth Bay and the Helford Estuary and has a grocery shop, hairdresser and the Red Lion pub, all within a ten-minute walk from the Annex. Visit the sub-tropical gardens of Trebah or Glendurgan , have a wander down to Durgan Beach. Or hop onto the Blue Pointer and take to the river for a fishing trip. Helford Passage is five minutes' drive away, where you can sample locally caught seafood dishes in the Ferry Boat Inn. Spend the day on the beach here, or catch the foot ferry across to Helford Village, where you can wander along the coastline to Daphne Du Maurier’s atmospheric Frenchman’s Creek.
