Morley's

Morley's is a two-bedroom cottage on a rural smallholding near Ponsanooth, a Kennall River valley village about 5 miles south-west of Truro. The property scores a perfect 10 on Booking.com from guest reviews, with top marks for staff, facilities, and comfort. Dogs are welcome, and free private parking is available on site.

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, and free WiFi throughout. A wood burner provides warmth on cooler evenings. Outside, a private hot tub and sun terrace overlook the garden, and there is a BBQ area and an outdoor play area for children. An EV charging station is also available - a useful addition in this part of rural Cornwall.

The garden and surrounding countryside make this a good base for walking. Kennall Vale nature reserve, the old gunpowder works managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, is nearby with woodland trails along the river valley. The property is well placed between Falmouth (about 5 miles south) and Truro (about 5 miles north-east).

Trelissick Garden, a National Trust estate on the Fal estuary, is 11 km away. Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is 12 km. The coast is within easy driving distance in either direction, with Falmouth's beaches to the south and the Roseland to the east.
