The Roseland Peninsula:
The Roseland is one of Cornwall’s most special places, a motley of sea- and river-scapes, woods and fields, lanes and churches, pretty beaches. Besides offering infinite scope both for gentle lazing and for vigorous pursuits on land or sea, the Roseland also gives easy access to some of England’s most exquisite attractions, such as the Tate Gallery at St Ives, the ‘Lost Gardens of Heligan’, and the miraculous Eden Project with its spectacular biodomes.
The Chalet:
The chalet has recently been completely rebuilt and re-equipped to offer optimum comfort and convenience in all seasons, with its sunset verandah, triple-aspect living/dining room, fall-asleep sofas, Danish woodburner, ubiquitous radiators, well-equipped kitchen (with fabulous views!), two bathrooms (one en-suite), and a general air of calm seclusion. Besides yourself and your belongings you need only bring kitchen/bathroom consumables, and linen (though linen packs are available for overseas visitors). NB: Smoking is NOT PERMITTED within the chalet.
Provisions etc.:
For provisions, the village of Portscatho (1+ miles) offers an excellent papers-to-popadoms, wine-to-widgets 7-day store. The picturesque resort of St Mawes with its medieval castle and sailing/fishing fleet is 7 miles away, while the chalk-and-cheese towns of Falmouth and Truro are both 14 miles via the ancient chainlink river-crossing, the King Harry Ferry. These latter towns both offer the normal panoply of banks, supermarkets, chain stores etc. Please e-mail us for our 'private' web site address.
