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. A rating of 4.8 from 26 guest reviews is among the higher scores in the area.

Pendower Beach on the Roseland is 7km, Carne Beach 7.6km, and St Mawes 9.7km. 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 7km. No Wi-Fi is included.
