The Nook

The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Mevagissey's working harbour are both within walking distance of The Nook, a ground-floor cottage in the Cornish countryside near Higher Kestle Farm. The immediate setting is quiet—mature trees, open lawns and garden borders surround a private patio where you can sit out—but the location puts several of Cornwall's better-known destinations on your doorstep without requiring much driving.

The Nook itself is compact and practical. Two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and a shower room sit alongside an open-plan living and kitchen area, all on one level. The kitchen is equipped for real cooking rather than heating ready meals. Wifi, heating, bed linen and towels are included. The property sleeps 4 and is yours alone; a cot and highchair are available if needed. Two cars can park on site. No smoking indoors.

Mevagissey, with its narrow streets, fishing boats, pubs and independent shops, is reachable on foot through the lanes. The Lost Gardens of Heligan—a restored Victorian estate garden—is similarly accessible. For those who prefer to drive, plenty of beaches lie within short reach. The setting suits couples or families wanting a quiet base without the feeling of being genuinely remote.
