 Budock
Falmouth, Cornwall.,United Kingdom
"...romantic, secluded setting with fantastic facilities for all ages..."
These sympathetically refurbished barns are set around a secluded sub-tropical garden close to the romantic Helford river made famous by Daphne Du Maurier's novel Frenchman's Creek. The barns enjoy a secluded spot deep in the unspoilt area of North Helford, near Cornwall's almost tropical coast. The village of Mawnan Smith is under a mile and a half away, and provides excellent dining and country pubs. The surrounding area is home to several excellent Cornish gardens such as Trebah and Penjerrick. The secluded beach at Durgan is accessed by a path and provides excitement for young and old as they explore the track down to the beach where they are amazed at the seclusion, the mild climate and the sandy beach that combine to create a Mediterranean feel to the area. The Helford river is best explored by boat which can be obtained at Port Navas, the heart of Cornwall's oyster industry (the yacht club offers temporary membership to visitors). In fact the area is a boating `mecca' as the opportunity to explore inland creeks, coves and rivers as well as the open sea is tantalisingly close by. The Argal reservoir and water park is under a mile away and provides excellent world class fly and coarse fishing, recreation area, bird watching and it has its own watersports park with boats available. The large seafaring town of Falmouth is also close by, 2½ miles, and offers the chance to meander the streets and open quays to sample the local sea food, shopping and pubs. Sea fishing, diving and sightseeing trips are all available in the town which is also home to the National Maritime Museum which houses many famous boats and provides an excellent day out. Mawnan Smith is ideally situated for a trip onto the Lizard Peninsula and a trip to the most southern point in the country. Meander down the country lanes, stopping off at the local pubs, tea rooms, and National Trust gardens, or spend an hour on a secluded beach or cove. For more inquisitive minds visit the Goonhilly Earth Station visitors centre or the Porthallow vineyard and sample a strong Cornish liquor or country wine. Cliff walks, cycling, horse riding, golf and leisure facilities are all available close by. Pub 1½ miles.
