Waterfront House

Waterfront House sits directly on Malpas Marina, just outside Truro, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto two balcony terraces and two Juliet balconies that look across the water towards the Trelissick and Tregothnan Estates. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom property sleeps 6 and includes a wood burner, underfloor heating on the ground floor, and a dining table that seats eight - a layout intended for a group that wants to eat together rather than scatter across multiple rooms.

The king-size bedroom has its own en-suite with a double shower enclosure and Juliet balcony views of the estuary. The remaining bedrooms share the other bathrooms. A dog-friendly garden, BBQ, and private parking are included.

Pendower Beach on the Roseland is 4.3 miles, Carne Beach 4.7 miles, and St Mawes 6 miles. The Trelissick estate garden, managed by the National Trust, is accessible via a foot passenger ferry that runs from Malpas itself in season, so guests can reach the garden without a car.

Best for groups of 4 to 6 who want a waterfront base with direct estuary views rather than a beach-side location. Suits those who want easy access to the Roseland as a day trip. Less good for those wanting a coastal beach on the doorstep - the nearest are over 4.3 miles.
