The Heights

The Heights is a 3-bedroom cottage on Trelander Highway in Truro, Cornwall's only city, sleeping 5 guests with 1 bathroom. The property sits in the Penarth area of Truro, within walking distance of the city centre and the Gothic Revival cathedral completed in 1910.

Inside, the cottage has an open fire as its main winter draw, alongside a garden with BBQ for summer evenings. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher. Wi-Fi and off-road parking are included, and changeover day is Friday. The layout across 3 bedrooms makes it a practical choice for a small group or family who need city access rather than countryside isolation.

Truro has Cornwall's best concentration of independent shops along Lemon Street, the indoor Pannier Market, and the Hall for Cornwall - a 900-seat venue hosting music and theatre. The Royal Cornwall Museum on River Street charges no admission for under-16s. The city connects to Falmouth by river taxi, and Truro station is on the main London Paddington to Penzance line. Pendower Beach on the Roseland is about 5.7 miles south-east - calm water, a mile of sand at low tide, and rarely crowded.

**Best for:** Groups or families who want a city base for exploring mid-Cornwall - good transport links, city-centre dining and entertainment within walking distance. **Less good for:** Guests who want a rural or coastal setting, dog owners (no dogs), or anyone wanting a hot tub or more than 1 bathroom for 5 people.
