Bailey Cottage

About this property

This stylish single storey cottage stands detached from the owners' home in a tranquil rural setting near Stithians village, close to Falmouth resort. Set on one floor, the cool white interior, splashed with vibrant colourful furnishings makes for inviting, comfortable accommodation - perfect for couples or a small family. The open plan living space incorporates a contemporary kitchen, a neat dining area and a spacious sitting area. There are two bright and airy bedrooms, a kingsize looking over the gardens and fields beyond, and a single room. A smart bathroom offers a walk in shower cubicle, perfect for a good soak after a long day on the beach.

To the front of the cottage is a lawned garden and to the rear, a smallish gravelled courtyard with a picnic bench to enjoy the warm evening sun. Stithians has a small Post Office/store and The Golden Lion Inn which serves good food. Stithians Lake is popular for watersports, angling and birdwatching, and there are many good walks nearby. Just 7 miles away is the bustling harbour town of Falmouth and its golden sandy beaches. You can also find the tranquil creeks and inlets of Restronguet and Mylor, a number of golf courses, tropical gardens and the coast to coast cycle trail.

With so much to see and do Bailey Cottage is ideally situated for exploring the best of this part of Cornwall.

This Cornish village and civil parish lies within the north-westerly fringes of Falmouth near the towns of Redruth and Helston as well as the city of Truro, a wonderful location for a holiday. The 300-acre Stithians Reservoir, a hot spot for birdwatching and watersports or scenic walks with the family, bounds the village on the west. Stithians also plays host to a shop, pub and parish church, yet is best-known for its agricultural show, one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Attractions and things to do nearby include Pendennis and St. Mawes Castle on the south coast, both constructed in the 16th century, the tranquil Trelissick Garden near the city of Truro offering wonderful views over the River Fal, and the beautiful Tregothnan Estate home to 40 hectares of land. You are also within easy reach of the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project as well as the delightful fishing harbours of Fowey and Polperro along the Heritage Coast. A fabulous choice for a holiday in Cornwall.
