Heather's Cottage

Heathers Cottage is an end-of-terrace house beside the stream that runs through Pendra Loweth, a holiday village near Falmouth laid out around communal gardens. French windows lead from the sitting room to a terrace, and the rear enclosed patio has a table and six chairs.

It sleeps six across three upstairs bedrooms: a double with an en-suite bathroom, a second double and a twin. That makes two bathrooms: the en suite and the family bathroom, which has a bath with shower over. There is also a separate cloakroom. The open-plan kitchen and dining area has a table for six, a dishwasher, washing machine and coffee machine, and the house has WiFi.

Guests share the village's gym, indoor splash pool, Jacuzzi, children's play area and tennis courts. The splash pool measures about 3 metres on each side and 1.4 metres deep, and holds four people at a time. The bar, restaurant, pool and Jacuzzi usually run from the start of April to the end of October, while the gym, courts and play area stay open all year.

Heating is electric, with one allocated off-road parking space; fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included, and a cot and highchair are available. One well-behaved pet is welcome for a fee and must stay on a lead across the estate. The beach and a pub and restaurant are 1 mile away, and shops 3 miles. Bookings are for holidays only, with no work or business stays, and no sign-written vans or commercial vehicles are permitted on the resort. Smoking is not allowed. The house suits families who want facilities on site, and is less good for anyone who wants shops close by.
