Our property is a detached house with private drive parking available. The booking covers up to two double rooms, both located on the ground floor, while we reside upstairs. For parties exceeding two guests, an additional bed is available in the adjacent room. We are a family of three and have two dogs. Guests will have access to their designated rooms and a private bathroom located across the hall. Our garden is also accessible, although it is a shared space. You are welcome to use our kitchen for breakfast from 7am to 9am; however, it is not available at other times. We do not provide a room cleaning service or make beds during your stay. Our cleaning service is conducted before and after your booking, but for longer stays, we will refresh the bathroom and supply clean towels. Linen and towels are included in the price. When booking for two adults and one child over the age of 11, you will be reserved two adjacent rooms. We offer a continental breakfast, also included in the price, which is served in the downstairs dining room between 7am and 9am.
I am a friendly person who loves to chat and learn about people. I am a mum of two, married with two little dogs who live with us too !
This area is located on the outskirts of Truro, in the quaint rural village of Shortlanesend. We are just a five-minute drive from the main A30, making it a convenient base for exploring all parts of Cornwall. The village features a pub and a small shop. Nearby, there is a cycling lane that leads into the city, as well as a rental service for electric bikes, available via an app. Just down the road lies the beautiful Idless Woods and a charming tea room called Cows and Sows. For additional amenities, you will need to drive into Truro or to nearby coastal towns. There is a bus service that operates approximately once an hour into the city, where connections to other buses and trains around Cornwall are available. However, it's important to note that getting around Cornwall is significantly easier with a car. If you plan to rely on public transport, be prepared for longer travel times, as it can take a substantial portion of the day to get from one place to another!
