Maenporth, Nr Falmouth, Cornwall.
Sleeps 5 + cot, Rent band M, Map Ref: B5

The Maenporth Estate is a prestigious development of individually owned properties in 29 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland on the South Cornwall coast, between the Helford and Fal Estuaries. The estate overlooks Maenporth Beach, a pretty, secluded cove with a sandy beach, flanked by green hills and the coastal path. Beside the beach is a bistro restaurant and cafe, with a Mediterranean style terrace, offering excellent evening meals as well as lunch and snacks during the day. Maenporth has a leisure complex for the exclusive use of residents. The centre has an inviting, 15 metre INDOOR HEATED SWIMMING POOL, spa, sauna and sun terrace. The airy games hall houses a pool table and table tennis. A short walk from the leisure centre are two all-weather tennis courts and an enclosed play area for younger children. The estate's woodland has tall Monterey Pines, Cypress, Oak and Beech trees. These provide a canopy under which grow Aucuba, Laurel, Viburnum and Rhododendrons. Nearing the properties, the landscape changes to one of exotic Yuccas, Cordylines, Phormiums and colourful Hydrangeas. The landscaping, the gardens, the leisure facilities and play areas are all beautifully presented and maintained to the very highest standard.
The National Trust owns more than 110 miles of the spectacular Cornish coastline, including that at Maenporth and much of the Helford River's shore. Keen walkers can strike out to Falmouth in one direction or the Helford River in the other. Falmouth's safe harbour and the creeks and inlets of the River Fal provide an all year playground for yachts, dinghies and windsurfers and is now home to the National Maritime Museum. Houses and gardens to visit include Glendurgan and Trelissick and the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek is a favourite with all age groups.

This attractive, three bedroom property is less than a hundred yards from the excellent indoor swimming pool on the Maenporth Estate – so it’s easy to nip for a quick swim before breakfast! Alternatively, if the family will let you, you could laze in bed and enjoy the sea views from the master bedroom. Downstairs, the lounge opens onto a patio complete with table and chairs and a level lawn where children can play and adults can sunbathe. Parking is available adjacent to the property.
