Offering the perfect balance between adventure and tranquil time to sit back and enjoy the moment, this family-friendly holiday cottage is a fantastic base from which to explore West Cornwall. Falmouth lies just 2 miles away, a seaside town packed with culture, offering a true taste of the sea with a number of spectacular beaches to visit.

Kick back and relax on the trio of leather sofas situated by a set of double doors which allow fresh air to pour in and extend the living space into the communal gardens. A sleek, stylish kitchen with a bright window makes a great place to cook up a feast for the family, with a conveniently located dining room adjacent. Upstairs, you’ll find a master double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, another double bedroom and a twin. Finally, there is a nautical-themed bathroom with a shower over the bath. Beyond the property, there are 16 acres of gorgeous gardens to explore, as well as food, drinks, a jacuzzi, sauna and plunge pool, gym and a number of other facilities within the resort.

With so much to see and do in Falmouth, a week could easily be spent living like a local indulging in fine dining opportunities, visiting galleries and spending days on the sands of Gyllyngvase and Swanpool Beach. Soak up the coastal bliss with a walk from Falmouth on the Rosemullion Head circular walk past rugged scenery, hidden coves and pretty flora with plenty of places to stop off for a tasty treat along the way. For plant lovers, the gardens of Trebah (4 miles), Glendurgan Gardens (4 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (25 miles) are a haven with tangled pathways to trek and a wide selection of exotics on display.

We had a great holiday at Rivendell. I enjoyed walking to Meanporth beach using the path going up from tennis courts. Then taking coastal path to swanpool and up the hill back to site. Enjoyed going to the onsite bar and restaurant. The owners were very nice.

Enjoyed our stay at Rivendell, perfect location to get to other parts of Cornwall, you do need a car though. The club was nice, not keen on the theme nights, if you don't have the food on offer there is nothing else. The house was lovely, spacious and clean, everything you might need.

Chic house in Falmouth within a holiday resort. We, 2 adults and 2 teenagers felt comfortable. However there are things to consider. The parking bay belonging to the house can only be used for larger cars such as a VW bus if the neighbour plays along and parks very close to the edge. The kitchen in the house is nice but is lacking in a few utensilsRead more. The lack of dishwasher is a drawback, Hide

Really lovely holiday. The grandchildren loved playing with new friends in the communal gardens which are beautifully kept. On arrival a plumbing problem arose ( broken seal in en suite loo ) happily this was quickly resolved by a very nice local plumber. The cottage, was clean, comfortable and very well appointed, and only lacked a dishwasher, butRead more hey, we coped Hide
