Two additional twin bedrooms provide ample sleeping arrangements for all guests. The main bathroom is a haven of relaxation, offering a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin, and WC. The open-plan living area is the heart of the home, equipped with an oven, hob, kettle, and toaster, as well as dining seating for eight people. A TV and two woodburning stoves create a warm atmosphere for those chillier evenings. The utility room is well-appointed with a microwave, fridge, washing machine, and tumble dryer, while a handy cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the interior of this charming abode. Outside, you will find an enclosed front garden with a lawn, patio, and furniture, perfect for enjoying the Cornish sunshine. The rear garden features an outdoor shower, ideal for rinsing off after a day spent exploring the nearby beaches, along with ample boat storage for your water-sport adventures. There is an abundance of local attractions to explore whilst staying at Turnstones, starting with the iconic King Harry Ferry, a classic Cornish experience not to be missed. Discover the beauty of Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve, abundant with wildlife or acquaint yourselves with the local history at Penryn Museum. Enjoy a delicious waterfront dining experience at the Pandora Inn, before heading to the city of Truro with its awe-inspiring cathedral and Boscawen Park, a lively hotspot filled with activity. Culture enthusiasts will admire the vast collections of the Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery as well as the majesty of Pendennis Castle; take a trip to maritime history at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth, an exceptional art collection at Falmouth Art Gallery, or connect with the natural beauty at Swanvale Nature Reserve. Return home to the calm of Turnstones as you recount your adventures.

The lovely Cornish village of Carnon Downs offers a shop, Post Office and pub. Not too far away is the village of Portreath with its sandy beach, whilst the city of Truro and the popular town of Falmouth are within easy reach by car as is the north and south coastline with its sandy beaches, ideal for those wishing to surf or walk the coastpath. Fans of classic cars will enjoy a visit to Perranwell Station which gives you the opportunity to hire a Morgan car for the day. Also nearby in the Bissoe Valley is Bissoe Bike Hire where you can hire a bike and enjoy the sights of the old mining works and beautiful wooded valleys as you cycle coast to coast from Portreath to Devoran or just enjoy a snack in the café. Cornwall’s only city, Truro has a magnificent cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall, which is a theatre and concert venue, as well as a number of shops, pubs and restaurants. In Falmouth you will find a natural harbour - the third largest in the world. Here you will find boat trips up the Carrick Roads, safe beaches, the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle, which was built by Henry viii and is the town’s most popular attraction. For garden lovers, there is not only The Lost Gardens of Heligan, but Trelissick, Trebah and Glendurgan, all of which are nearby. A short trip across the King Harry Ferry will take you to the beautiful Roseland Peninsular which is well worth a visit. With the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Land’s End within driving distance makes Carnon Downs a convenient base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
