There are some nice walks and within easy driving distance of nearby Falmouth and Truro. A very enjoyable holiday and very nice owners who were always contactable if needed. We can thoroughly recommend it as a holiday destination.

Itâs in an ideal location tucked away in the peace and quiet of the countryside but close to Falmouth, beaches and exploring the Helford River and the coves on the Lizard peninsula. We would definitely return the The Byre.
