Elm

Elm is a detached, all-ground-floor chalet at Killiow Golf Club near Truro, sleeping six across three bedrooms. Every room sits on one level with no steps, and the merchant describes the lodges as fully wheelchair accessible, with an extra-wide corridor, gentle ramp access from an adjacent private parking bay and a family wet room with discreet grab rails.

Two bedrooms have super-king beds on a zip-and-link system, so they can be set up as twins, and the third has zip-and-link twin beds that can be made up as a super-king. Two have en-suite walk-in showers with basin and WC; the third uses the main wet room. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area centres on a wood-burning stove, and a separate open fire adds a second heat source. Washer-dryer, dishwasher, and 4K Smart TV with Freeview are included. Bath robes and a wood burner starter pack are provided.

The enclosed decked garden has outdoor furniture and off-road parking is on site. Castle Beach in Falmouth - sand and shingle at the foot of Pendennis Castle, with snorkelling offshore - is 6.2 miles south. St Mawes beach on the Roseland, next to Henry VIII's best-preserved coastal fort, is also 6.2 miles. Pendower Beach, a National Trust-managed two-mile stretch on the Roseland, is 6.3 miles.

Truro's Gothic Revival cathedral and the independent shops along Lemon Street are a short drive north. The chalet does not accept dogs.

Best for: groups of six wanting accessible, country-quiet accommodation with easy reach of both the Roseland and Truro. Less good for: beach-first holidays - the nearest sand is a 6.2 miles drive.
