About the area
Truro
Located in Truro, this holiday home is in a rural area and by the sea. While the natural beauty of Fistral Beach and Carbis Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore St Ives Harbour.
Travelling with kids? Consider Feadon Farm Wildlife Centre, or check out an event or a game at Mount Wise Stadium. Kayaking and surfing/body boarding offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and hiking/biking trails nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Gordon Hathway
Gordon and his Norwegian wife Bodil have many years experience of owning, renting and staying in holiday homes in Cornwall, Dorset, Bristol, Cheltenham and also many places in Norway as part of our business as specialist travel agents. After 30 years living by the sea in West Dorset, in 2020 we moved to Cornwall to be close to both our adult children who live there with their own families. We think this is our ultimate destination.
Why they chose this property
We rented a house in Towan Valley several times before the opportunity arose to buy one. We jumped at the chance and chose one in the best possible location.
We especially like the Porthtowan area for many reasons, not least easy access in about 1.5 hours on the A30 from the end of the M5 at Exeter. It is also an ideal location for day excursions, with nearly all of west Cornwall from Padstow to Land's End to Fowey being at most an hour's drive away. The local area offers superb beaches, stunning scenery and endless coastal walks, plus the rich mining heritage which is always fascinating.

What makes this property unique
We especially like our house in Towan Valley because you so quickly feel at home there, whether the sun is shining outside or if you need somewhere cosy to curl up while a storm passes.
The furniture and wooden floors have been carefully chosen so that they are easy to keep clean and give the house some real character which is so often lacking in resort accommodation. We have used pictures and paintings by people we know and chosen soft furnishings than make it feel warm and welcoming at any time of year. We hope you will enjoy staying there as much as we do ourselves.
