The tranquility and central location of Demelza makes it the perfect base for a Cornish holiday. This lovely apartment in a single story converted barn has been fitted out to a very high standard and has the added benefit of a lovely covered verandah & private garden with woodland views.
This lovely apartment in a traditional old barn attached to a charming farmhouse set in beautifully kept grounds is tranquility itself yet is only 15 minutes from a choice of fabulous North Coast beaches, 15 minutes from the historic cathedral city of Truro and 20 minutes from the hubbub of the ancient port of Falmouth. Morwenna, with its central yet secluded location, really is the perfect base for a varied holiday.

Chacewater is situated in a valley not far from Cornwall's capital Truro. Its name probably originates from the Breton 'chace' for hunting as the area was originally hunting ground for early kings of Cornwall. The village now boasts three pubs and some bright, elegant building.
The city of Truro is only about a 10 minute drive to the east and has a wide selection of good shopping including a Tescos, Sainsburys, Marks & Spencer and many other high street outlets. There is also a cinema and a great selection of restaurants, pubs & cafes. The resort of Newquay is about 12 miles to the north with its spectacular surf beaches at Fistral & Watergate Bay. Jamie Oliver's "Fifteen" restaurant is located here. Padstow, with its fine selection of restaurants influenced by Rick Stein is just over 20 miles. Harbourside towns & villages such as Fowey, Falmouth & St Mawes are all within easy reach. For those flying to Cornwall, the airport is within easy reach.
The Cathedral City of Truro is in the heart of Cornwall and offers a wealth of facilities for the visitor. Dominated by the stunning cathedral, it is one of the south west's most attractive cities. Lemon Quay plays host to many events throughout the year including the Cornwall Food & Drink Festival in the Autumn and the famous Truro Fatstock Show just before Christmas. Regular farmers markets occur every Wednesdays & Saturday and there are also arts & craft markets on Saturdays.
There is a wonderful range of shopping for the visitor including all the regular high street stores including Marks & Spencer, Tescos & Sainsburys, but also a wide range of more specialist stores. It really is worth a wander through the back streets and alleys to find some fabulous little boutiques.
Truro has a superb range of restaurants from Bustopher Jones & Mannings on Lemon Street to the always popular Pizza Express. There are lively bars, pubs & nightclubs including the superb Old Ale House, a busy Wetherspoons and the infamous L2 if you are so inclined! The Hall for Cornwall hosts everything from Shakespeare to rock concerts and the cinema on Lemon Street has all the latest releases.
I would just like to say that Demelza was an excellent choice, having visited Cornwall for the last 20 years more than once a year it is in our top 5 cottages overall. Its location was quiet but still easy to get to whole of West Cornwall.The quality of the cottage was excellent all the facilities were of a high quality. The information given to us both by yourselves and the owner was very accurate and helpful.Once again many thanks for you service and having such a wonderful cottage as Demelza when we revisit this area of Cornwall again Demelza will be the first place we will try.
