Staycation in Cornwall: an idyllic swap staying in a lovely village "Just home after an idyllic home swap summer holiday staying in Sally and Rob’s lovely bungalow in Cornwall. We arrived back to find our home very clean, tidy and with well-watered plants and garden... perfect! Their home in the Cornish village of Mawnan Smith was well equipped with everything we needed to make our holiday go really well - they included maps, ideas, BBQs, bikes, SUP boards and kayaks. Their kitchen / lounge space opens up to a sunny terrace, ideal after a day of walks along the stunning coastal paths. On their recommendation we had a superb meal at The Ferryboat in Helford Passage, ate and drank in many Falmouth pubs, enjoyed the local Pizza van that calls in the village on Fridays - great gluten free option too. The £7 ferry to St Mawes was delightful. We tried to eat at the highly rated Hidden Hut but it was very busy so instead we had an excellent bowl of mussels at the Rosevine Hotel with views to die for. The National Trust Durgan Gardens were beautiful as were the gardens in St Mawes. Walking around The Lizard and Kynance Cove was amazing and we had the chance to do some seal spotting. The King Harry ferry took us over to explore the wonders of the Roseland Heritage Coastline with the stunning Porthcurnick beach a favourite... in fact we loved this whole area of Cornwall. Thanks to you all for such a fantastic home swap summer holiday!" - Barbara & Stuart (Wrexham, Wales) |
