The Duck House boasts a contemporary escape for couples seeking a country retreat within easy reach of the coast, beautiful beaches and Cornwall’s finest attractions, tucked away down a leafy Cornish Lane in Gulval, Cornwall. This one-bedroom, detached converted barn offers beautifully styled and comfortable ground floor accommodation for up to two guests: couples and friends, with room for babes in arms. Enter the courtyard, part of a working dairy farm and park beside your holiday home. Up two steps into the gated, private front patio with bench seating, wrapping around the side leading to the rear patio and lawn with garden furniture for leisurely sunshine dining. The open plan living concept is stylish with soft natural hues creating a relaxed ambiance. Recline on the sofa or armchair after a day exploring the Cornish coast path, with warmth from the wood burner during the cooler months, enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar before setting out for the day, and rustle up a bite to eat in the fully equipped kitchen with island. Eat in the spacious conservatory overlooking the garden, a complimentary cream tea is provided. The bedroom is a haven, with a sumptuous super king bed guaranteeing good sleep, and the generous-sized shower room will invigorate you for the day’s adventure ahead or wash away those sandy toes after a dip in the ocean. Enjoy the country walks from your doorstep with your dog: Long Rock Beach is within 3 miles, close to Penzance with a promenade and harbour. Marazion has a four-mile stretch of sand, ideal for picnics, sea swims and kayaking. Visit majestic St Michael’s Mount, with castle atop. This semi-isle can be reached by walking along the cobbled causeway at low tide, or little ferry boat at high water. The bustling fishing village of Newlyn and charismatic Mousehole, with little beach and twisty lanes with galleries, traditional inns and cafes are worthy destinations. Head to St Ives, with four glorious beaches perfect for surfing, browse the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, or dine in the abundance of restaurants. Visit Falmouth, with the Maritime Museum and historical Pendennis Castle. Lands’ End with dramatic coastline showcasing nature and wildlife set against the glorious sea vista from the coast path makes the perfect day trip.
