3 The Bowling Green

An end-terrace cottage in the village of St Just in Roseland, on the Roseland, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bi-fold doors opening to an enclosed south-facing yard. Three bedrooms sleep 6: two doubles and a twin, with two bathrooms. A utility room with space for wet kit and dog gear opens off the kitchen. Accessible facilities are provided, and parking comes with the property.

St Just Creek, which feeds into the Percuil River estuary below the village, is half a mile downhill. The churchyard at St Just-in-Roseland - known for its subtropical planting and a 13th-century church built at the waterside - sits above the creek. St Mawes harbour is 2.9km north by road, with a cluster of restaurants, a castle dating from 1543, and a passenger ferry to Falmouth across the Carrick Roads.

The Roseland has no through roads and sees relatively low visitor traffic compared to the north coast. St Mawes, Portscatho, and Gerrans are all within a 10-minute drive. The King Harry Ferry - a chain-driven car ferry crossing the Fal - sits a few miles north and gives direct access to Truro without routing via the A30.

Good for families or two couples wanting a quiet, sheltered base on the Roseland with easy access to St Mawes. The accessible layout and ground-floor bedroom option make it practical for mixed-mobility parties. Not great for guests who want to be within walking distance of a surf beach - the nearest open-coast beaches are 30 minutes or more by road.
