Beautiful St Mawes on the River Fal ⛵

A charming fishing village with unrivalled scenery, still fairly undiscovered on the Roseland Peninsula. You can take a scenic ferry ride (where you are very likely to see seals!) from nearby Trellisick or Falmouth.

Dogs will love the boat ride 🐕🛥️

☀️ The Roseland Peninsula is an unspoilt area of Cornwall, a sub-tropical paradise with its own little micro climate on the South Coast. Bordered by the Fal Estuary, with scenic secluded coves, picturesque creeks and pretty fishing villages.

⚓ The Roseland is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a vibrant sailing scene.

"We have been staying in the resort and have been blown away by the food and service at the Hart of the Valley. I was unwell when we arrived and the Chef made me a special plain meal which was delicious and cooked to perfection. The fries were a big hit with all the family, as were the pizzas and burgers. We ate there most nights because the food was spot on and the service was perfect too. Lovely friendly young girls with lots of local knowledge to share." - Ashley P July 2024 TripAdvisor

Tucked away in a serene, wooded valley between Redruth and Falmouth lies Kennall Vale—a place where nature and history intertwine.

🎇 Once the site of one of Britain’s largest gunpowder works, this lush, historic woodland is now a tranquil Cornwall Wildlife Trust reserve and provides a peaceful escape from the Summer crowds.

Explore the eerie, moss-covered ruins of granite mills and rusty water-wheels, relics of a powerful past. Feel the history beneath your feet as you wander through this secret forest, where the echoes of an 1838 explosion still linger.

Kennall Vale is a hauntingly beautiful gem, waiting to be discovered.. 🌳✨

"We received a warm welcome and there were so many special little touches that made such a difference. The site is beautiful, cottages immaculate and fantastically equipped, and it’s a great location. Reception has a huge range of books/games/dvds etc to keep you entertained but we didn’t even scratch the surface. Can’t wait to come back (and nor can the children!)" Chrisprice316

"𝙁𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙"

"Perfect base for exploring Cornwall, just tucked out the way enough for a peaceful retreat. Everything on site for all the family to enjoy. Especially loved booking the pool all to myself in half hour slots. Cottages are extremely well equipped, spotless and spacious. If you have a dog, there are plenty of paths in the woods for walkies and love that they have a fenced off field so you can let them off lead. We highly recommend The Hart of the Valley bar and restaurant, they have theme nights, gorgeous food which is reasonably priced and lovely friendly staff." leeann62024
