St Keverne 2 miles. The Bower is a beautifully presented barn conversion located near the lovely villages of St Keverne, Manaccan and Helford on The Lizard in Cornwall.
Situated close to the coast, this property sleeps two and is perfect for couples seeking a quiet countryside getaway, you can bring your furry friend too.
As you enter the contemporary, open-plan living space you will find the beautiful gardens outside reflected in the interior design. Here you can settle on the velvet sofa, put your feet up in front of the fire and watch a movie or just gaze out the stable door.
In the well equipped kitchen you can prepare meals to enjoy around the dining table or outside in your private gravel garden on the edge of a vast lawn space edged by herbaceous borders. If you bring dogs you also have access to a two acre field with paths mown through early summer meadow flowers.
As the day winds down, take a relaxing shower in the en-suite and slip under crisp linens on the king-sized bed to catch your rest.
Nearby is the fishing village of Porthallow, halfway point along the south west coast path, and there are quiet beaches within a mile’s walk where you can swim in the Helford estuary. Four of the recently listed great places to eat in The Times are within minutes drive – Fat Apples Café, The Green House, The New Yard at Trellowarren and of course Kota in the foodie haven of Porthleven. Further afield you will find the sparkling waters of Kynance Cove and glorious gardens of The Minack Theatre with stage productions throughout the year.
Nature-lovers can visit many local gardens with Trebah and Glendurgan gardens accessible via the foot ferry from Helford. Both are beautiful verdant gardens with exotic plants, palms and even a maze.
The Bower is indeed an ideal base for walking, diving, sailing or just chilling – truly a memorable escape.
