LOCATION
Kara is situated on the ground floor of Lavorrick Orchard House which was formerly an hotel and in 2007 was converted into five apartments and a detached bungalow. The property is situated on the outskirts of the popular and busy harbour and port of Mevagissey which is an active fishing village with picturesque inner and outer harbours around which are a cluster of period stone fisherman’s cottages and larger buildings associated with the fishing industry. Mevagissey is still an active fishing port and also attracts sailing and leisure craft. Fishing trips can be booked from the harbour and the village has an excellent and thriving community.
Local facilities including a wide variety of local shops, a primary school, various pubs, restaurants and cafes and along the coast on either side of the town are lovely beaches. A lot of the surrounding coastline is under the stewardship of the National Trust and the South West Coastal Footpath, in both directions, provides access to some lovely cliff top walks, hidden coves and further villages along the coast in both directions.
To the north is the major town of St Austell providing a wider array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities. From St Austell the road network is excellent with a swift link via the A390 and A38 to Plymouth and a swift access out to the dual carriageway connection north eastwards to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. St Austell has a mainline station providing a rail link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. Other nearby attractions include golf courses at Polgooth, Porthpean and Carlyon Bay, The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a short drive away and the Eden Project which lies on the other side of St Austell.
