Completing the interior is the double bedroom and wet room with shower, basin and WC. When you wish to explore there are many country walks one of which will take you to Stithians Lake, perfect for watersports, angling and birdwatching. Whether playing on the water or just taking in the views, Wild Vibes Cafe at the lake serves up excellent food catering for all dietary needs. Venture slightly further afield to the bustling coastal town of Falmouth, with many beaches and tranquil creeks and easy access to golf courses, tropical gardens and the coast-to-coast cycle trail. Cruise the beautiful landscape and scenic waters of the River Fal and its surrounding creeks, or fancy catching your supper or just going on a fishing trip then Falmouth is the perfect place to do this. St Michaels mount is an historic castle, garden and island off the coast of Marazion, it can be reached either by boat or along the causeway of granite sets, passable between mid tide and low tide Isles of Scilly by helicopter or boat, these amazing islands are close enough to visit for the day. Theatre lovers will want to visit the famous Minack Theatre, a spectacular open air theatre perched on the Cornish cliffs, here you may even get to see the dolphins jumping the waves during a performance. Padstow made famous by Rick Stein over the last 30 years there is much more to Padstow than just great places to eat. The Eden Project is a world renowned experimental garden which has become a must see attraction in Cornwall along with The Lost Gardens of Heligan near the village of Mevagissey.
