Spires

Spires is a one-bedroom accessible apartment near Carnon Downs, sleeping 2 in 1 bedroom with 1 bathroom. The property has an open fire, private garden, allocated parking, dishwasher, and washing machine. Dogs are welcome.

Carnon Downs sits between Truro and Falmouth, roughly 8km from each. The A39 makes both cities reachable in under 20 minutes - useful if you want a base for exploring the county rather than staying in a resort town. Trelissick Garden, owned by the National Trust and set above the Fal estuary, is about 3km south; admission costs around £12. The nearest beaches are Castle Beach and St Mawes at 9.4km, and Gyllyngvase Beach at 9.7km on Falmouth's seafront.

The apartment has step-free access and accessible features throughout, making it one of the more practical options in this part of Cornwall for guests with mobility requirements. The open fire is a genuine asset from October through April, when daytime temperatures on the Roseland rarely exceed 10 degrees. Wi-Fi is included.

Best for couples or solo travellers who want a central base with good road access to both Truro and Falmouth, and who have a dog. Less good for anyone expecting a beach-walking holiday from the door - the nearest sand is a drive away. Friday changeover. 29 Sykes reviews.

Carnon Downs is a quiet village well-positioned for the south coast and Fal estuary.
