About this property
Ideally positioned in the heart of Cornwall, Apple Tree Bungalow is a charming single storey two-bedroom holiday home set in the peaceful village of Lanner, just a short drive from Redruth. Its central location makes it perfect for exploring the whole of Cornwall, from dramatic coastlines and golden beaches to scenic countryside trails and historic landmarks, making it an excellent choice for families, couples, and guests seeking a relaxing self‑catering break.
This delightful Cornwall holiday cottage offers private off-road parking for up to three cars, along with an enclosed, furnished courtyard that’s ideal for morning coffees, evening drinks, and unwinding after a day of adventure. Inside, the bungalow features a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for comfortable self‑catering in Cornwall, while the spacious living/dining room provides a cosy setting for movie nights, family meals, and planning your next day’s activities.
After exploring the region, indulge in a soothing soak in the bath before retreating to one of two inviting bedrooms; a plush king-size or a flexible twin, perfect for both couples and families. Thoughtfully designed throughout, Apple Tree Bungalow offers a calm and convenient base for your Cornwall holiday.
Lanner itself provides excellent local amenities within easy walking distance. Guests can pick up essentials from Lanner Stores, enjoy hearty meals at the dog‑friendly Lanner Inn, and treat themselves to classic Cornish fish and chips from the village takeaway. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the area’s fantastic walking and cycling routes, including The Great Flat Lode, scenic mountain bike trails, and tranquil spots like Carn Marth Quarry fishing lake.
Being centrally located in Cornwall means everything the region has to offer is within easy reach. A short drive brings you to attractions such as the historic Basset Monument and the enchanting Kennall Vale Nature Reserve. The vibrant coastal town of Falmouth is also nearby, offering must‑see destinations including Pendennis Castle, Swanvale Nature Reserve, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, and the beautiful Gyllyngvase Beach, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and coastal walks. Whether you're seeking a restful countryside escape, a family‑friendly holiday cottage, or a well‑situated base for exploring Cornwall’s top beaches, towns, and attractions, Apple Tree Bungalow places you at the perfect midpoint to enjoy everything Cornwall has to offer.
Just outside Redruth on the road towards Falmouth, Lanner was once part of Cornwall’s mining epicentre. Today, the village is welcoming and friendly, with a number of convenience stores, a bakery, a village hall and several good pubs. Carn Marth overlooks Lanner village from its hilltop location; a former granite quarry, this is now a lovely place for a walk or cycle. Nearby Carn Brea is worth a visit too; here you will find a Medieval castle (now a restaurant), which once belonged to Lord Bassett, the most influential mine owner in the area during the 18th and 19th centuries. The beaches at Portreath and Porthtowan are just a short drive from Lanner, and there are several off-road cycle trails in the area, including the Coast to Coast Trail which follows the original tramway from Portreath on the north coast to Devoran on the south.

Property was spotlessly clean on arrival with a good level of equipment. Good size enclosed garden but there was a lot of weeds which our golden retriever was trying to eat. Having said that, no extra charge for our dog to stay was a refreshing change to other properties we have stayed at. Thankfully our dog is well behaved! We would consider staying again in future as we are looking to relocate to Cornwall. Thank you.

The bungalow was very clean and well equipped our only problem was the driveway entrance was very narrow and the road being very busy with cars parking directly opposite it was on occasions difficult to get in
