Waters Edge

Waters Edge is a holiday home at the edge of a stream in the Village of Gardens, a privately owned group of properties near the beach at Maenporth, in the Falmouth area. It sleeps six in three bedrooms: a double and two twins. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over it, and a cloakroom adds a basin and WC.

Bookings need a minimum stay of 3 nights, and in July and August only weekly stays starting on a Friday are taken. The open-plan living area combines kitchen, dining and sitting space. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. A TV with Freeview, a DVD player and WiFi are provided, with electric central heating, and fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included in the rent.

Outside are decking with furniture, a communal lawn and designated off-road parking for one car. The estate has a jacuzzi, a plunge pool, a tennis court, a children's play area and a gym, a short walk away. Holiday use only, so commercial lets are not accepted. The pub is 0.9 miles away, the shop 1 mile and the beach 1 mile.

No pets are allowed, so it is less good for dog owners; it suits a family or three couples looking for a self-catering week near the sand at Maenporth or Swanpool.
