About this property

Wander through the scenic grounds, head out for long coastal walks or spend time on the beach when you stay at this contemporary Cornish retreat. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home is one of several Scandinavian-style hideaways set within the grounds of a hotel near Trewhiddle, 1 mile from St Austell. A fabulous base for exploring South Cornwall, which could suit a small family or two couples, it has its own private balcony and access to the hotel’s leisure facilities, including a pool, tennis courts, gym and spa.

Make your way into the beautifully finished, timber-clad property, which has been designed with bedrooms downstairs and living space upstairs. Enjoy a superb night’s sleep in either the double bedroom, or the super-king-size which can also be made up as two singles if discussed at booking. Also downstairs is a family wet room and an en-suite bathroom. Follow the stairs up to the first floor to find yourselves in the modern lounge/kitchen/diner, which has a vaulted ceiling. This offers ample space for everyone to spread out and relax. Open the doors onto the balcony on fine days or enjoy the leafy views from the inside. Rustle up tasty meals for your friends or family in the kitchen area, which has granite work surfaces. Dine together, watch TV and plan the following day’s adventure. Relax on the balcony over a cup of coffee or something chilled during the spring and summer months.

Head into St Austell to potter in the shops and stock up on local produce. Truro, 15 miles away, is also well worth a visit. Grab your towels and spend time on the beach at Porthpean, 2 miles away, or Pentewan, 3 miles away. Visit the Eden Project, 5 miles away, or the Lost Gardens of Heligan, 4 miles away.
