Situated in the village of Shortlanesend, Cornwall, lies this delightful holiday bungalow, Gweal. Located between the stunning nature reserves of the St. Agnes Heritage Coast and The Roseland Heritage Coast, this charming property boasts on-site amenities, great positioning to nearby attractions, and offers everything you need for a wonderful Cornish getaway. Inside, you will find a well-presented open-plan living space, complete with an amply-equipped kitchen, a dining room with a table for four, and a sitting room complete with Smart TV, the social hub of the house where the whole family can gather and unwind after a long, fun-filled day. As the evening draws to a close, retire to one of two tastefully-decorated bedrooms, one of which has patio-door access to the rear garden, where you and your loved ones can relax with a drink in the warmer months, and in the mornings, be sure to take a seat on the bench out front with coffee in hand, as you soak in views of the distant countryside. If you fancy acquainting yourself with your local area, take a brief walk into the village, where you can grab a pint at The Old Plough before taking a seat for dinner at the Penrose Kitchen. Truro is a short car journey away, offering attractions such as Truro Cathedral and the vibrant grounds of Boscawen Park. Further afield you can find Perranporth, home to the lush sands of Perranporth Beach, as well as the hiking area of Shag Rock Steps, for those feeling more energetic. Falmouth is also accessible by car, where the locations of Pendennis Castle and the Marlborough House can be found, along with the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, all worth visiting whilst you brush up on your local history. You'll enjoy a memorable stay at Gweal.

Excellent location and the property was wonderful, it had everything we needed and more. The weather may have been an issue but returning to the bungalow after a day dodging the rain made the trip unforgettable.

Very well furnished & equipped. Great to have somewhere to hang clothes in garden but could do with a washing basket. Maybe a lighter duvet option in the summer as we were sweating! Would certainly recommend
