Outstanding natural beauty
Enter Cornish holiday heaven at Tideway with world-class views of the spectacular tidal estuary where the Truro and Tresillian rivers join the river Fal, a haven for nature and birdlife including Curlews, Egrets, Ospreys and Grey Herons.
Spacious living and sleeping
Guests can relax in the spacious lounge complete with a Chesneys log burner, comfortable sofas and a sublime cushioned window seat/daybed overlooking the creek (binoculars provided!). The through dining room has a six-person dining table and eclectic antique style.
The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of equipment for discerning cooks as well as a full oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and large fridge-freezer.
There is also a downstairs WC inside the property.
Upstairs, there are three bright bedrooms – the master has a super-king bed and views across the creek, the second has two full size single beds that have been zip-and-linked together to make another super-king but can be separated if required. This room opens out onto a large decked area which catches the evening sun. The third bedroom has one full size single bed and also enjoys views over the river.
Hot tub and tiered gardens
The crowning glory of Tideway is a new hot tub (seating 5 people) in the private raised gardens. From here you'll experience breathtaking views over the creek in the daytime and stargazing at night - shooting stars can be viewed. You will find a newly installed outdoor shower next to the hot tub.
Outside there is a choice of spaces to enjoy – at the back of the house is garden on several levels, leading up to a large lawn, complete with patio at the top. Here there is outside dining for six, and a BBQ, perfect for enjoying lazy afternoons watching the boats come and go in the marina below. There is also a sunny paved garden to the front of the house with garden tables and chairs and a picnic bench.
There is private garage parking for one car, and space for another medium size car on the drive. For your added convenience, a 7kW untethered EV charger is available in the garage.
The area is glorious any time of year, with the changing seasons bringing their own colours and wildlife and river pursuits including Kayaks – we have two kayaks which are yours to borrow at Tideway.
Malpas Village
Malpas has an excellent pub, the Heron Inn, and there is also a farm shop and tearoom by the marina (all 1 minute away). Nearby Boscawen Park has a large adventure playground, café for takeaway food and drinks and pay-and-play tennis courts. There are wonderful countryside walks straight from the house and regular boat tours which you can take from the marina to the bustling town of Falmouth, the National Trust Trelissick Gardens or the beautiful port of St. Mawes. Alternatively, The King Harry Ferry is only 15 mins away, taking you (and your car) over the water and into the Roseland Peninsula and Heritage Coast.
