Apple Tree Bungalow

Apple Tree Bungalow is a single-storey cottage on Lanner Hill in the village of Lanner, near Redruth, sleeping 4 across 2 bedrooms. From £504 per week, all rooms are on one level - a practical layout for guests who prefer to avoid stairs or are travelling with young children.

The two bedrooms comprise a king-size room and a twin room (convertible to king-size on request), sharing 1 bathroom with bath and shower. The open-plan living and dining area connects to a kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Wifi is included throughout. One well-behaved dog is welcome.

Three off-road parking spaces sit alongside an enclosed courtyard with outdoor furniture. The village shop and a pub are within 150 metres. Lanner sits within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Great Flat Lode Trail - a walking and cycling route through the old mining valley - passes close by.

Portreath Beach, a sandy north coast surf beach with seasonal lifeguards, is roughly 5 miles away. Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes, with its exposed clifftop mine workings and year-round dog access, is about 7 miles north. Redruth covers day-to-day shopping, and Falmouth's harbour with its restaurants and multiple beaches is around 8 miles south.

**Best for:** couples or families wanting a low-key inland base within reach of both north and south coasts; guests with dogs; those with mobility needs who prefer single-storey accommodation. **Less good for:** anyone wanting a sea view or beach within walking distance - the nearest coast is a 15-minute drive.
