Maple

A single-storey lodge at Killiow Golf Club near Carnon Downs, sleeping six in three bedrooms each with its own en-suite. The accessible layout covers the entire property - there are no steps - making it one of the more usable options in the Truro area for guests with mobility requirements. Two fireplaces: a wood burner and an open fire in the main living room.

The cottage has a garden and off-road parking. Inside: dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi. No pets. Saturday changeover. Rated 5 stars from 35 Sykes reviews. The dual-fireplace setup - both a wood burner and an open fire - is unusual and makes this work well as an autumn or winter rental.

Carnon Downs is roughly mid-point between Truro and the coast. St Mawes on the Roseland is 10km south - the ferry crossing to Falmouth leaves from the quay there. Castle Beach in Falmouth is also 10km, and Pendower Beach on the Roseland about 10.2km. Truro city centre, with the cathedral and the county museum, is under 5km north. The A39 runs close by, giving straightforward access to both Falmouth and the King Harry Ferry for the Roseland without going through Truro.

Best for: groups or families with a wheelchair user who need a fully accessible property with multiple en-suites and good access to both Falmouth and the Roseland. Less good for: those wanting direct beach access or a dog-friendly property.
