Manuka

This three-bedroom cottage stands in the middle of a group of purpose-built holiday cottages at the Village of Gardens, near Maenporth. Falmouth is two miles away. It sleeps six, and the shop and the beach are both about a mile off, with the pub at 1.1 miles.

Patio doors lead from the open-plan living area to the front patio, and the dining area and kitchen sit in the same room. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher, and there are two TVs, a DVD player, an iPod dock and WiFi. The south-facing patio is screened on one side, with garden furniture and a barbecue, and looks over a communal lawn. Fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included, and a travel cot and highchair are available.

The three bedrooms are on the first floor: a double, a twin with a TV and a second twin, sharing one bathroom with a bath and shower over. A cloakroom has a basin and WC. Guests can use the resort's tennis courts, children's outdoor play areas, Jacuzzi and indoor splash pool, and all of these keep seasonal opening times. The pool is about 3 metres across, 1.4 metres deep and holds four people at a time. Car charging points are outside the office, and charging from the cottage itself is not allowed.

One well-behaved pet is welcome and must be on a lead on the estate. Parking is for one car plus visitors' spaces, and parking on the pavement is not allowed. Bookings are for holidays and leisure only, with no work or business use and no sign-written or commercial vehicles. It suits a family with children, and is less good for anyone wanting a ground-floor bedroom.
