About this property
Resting in the quaint village of Lanner, a charming settlement just a short drive from neighbouring Redruth lies the delightful, two-bedroom home of Apple Tree Bungalow. Featuring off-road parking for three cars, an enclosed furnished courtyard, and a collection of well-appointed living spaces set across the ground-floor, this lovely dwelling makes a perfect base for a family or even couples seeking a relaxing, fuss-free escape to Cornwall. Park up on the private driveway before you take a step into your wonderful new home-from-home. Inside, you will discover a fully-equipped kitchen housing all the appliances the chosen chef will need to rustle up tasty, home-cooked dinners, whilst a well-presented living/dining room invites you and your loved ones to kick back and unwind with a film on the TV as you plan the rest of your stay. When the sun has set, be sure to refresh with an indulgent soak in the bath before you head for a well-earned slumber in either a plush king-size or twin bedroom. If you can tear yourself from your tranquil new lodgings, slip your shoes on and set out to discover what your local region has in store. On foot, a brief stroll will bring you to Lanner Stores, a convenience selling homely essentials to supply your visit, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be savoured at the pet-friendly Lanner Inn, so your canine companion doesn't have to be left out! You'll also find a fish and chip shop in the village for when you fancy a break from cooking one evening, along with a plethora of rural walks such as The Great Flat Lode, mountain bike trails, and the Carn Marth Quarry fishing lake. Further afield, the noteworthy landmarks of the Basset Monument and the Kennall Vale Nature Reserve are easily accessed by car, as is the coastal town of Falmouth, home to a wealth of must-see attractions such as Pendennis Castle, the Swanvale Nature Reserve, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, and the golden stretch of Gyllyngvase Beach. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book a stay at Apple Tree Bungalow.
Just outside Redruth on the road towards Falmouth, Lanner was once part of Cornwall’s mining epicentre. Today, the village is welcoming and friendly, with a number of convenience stores, a bakery, a village hall and several good pubs. Carn Marth overlooks Lanner village from its hilltop location; a former granite quarry, this is now a lovely place for a walk or cycle. Nearby Carn Brea is worth a visit too; here you will find a Medieval castle (now a restaurant), which once belonged to Lord Bassett, the most influential mine owner in the area during the 18th and 19th centuries. The beaches at Portreath and Porthtowan are just a short drive from Lanner, and there are several off-road cycle trails in the area, including the Coast to Coast Trail which follows the original tramway from Portreath on the north coast to Devoran on the south.

Property was spotlessly clean on arrival with a good level of equipment. Good size enclosed garden but there was a lot of weeds which our golden retriever was trying to eat. Having said that, no extra charge for our dog to stay was a refreshing change to other properties we have stayed at. Thankfully our dog is well behaved! We would consider staying again in future as we are looking to relocate to Cornwall. Thank you.

The bungalow was very clean and well equipped our only problem was the driveway entrance was very narrow and the road being very busy with cars parking directly opposite it was on occasions difficult to get in
