LOCATION The hamlet of Treviskey is set well away from any road noise, in the beautiful Roseland countryside only half a mile from one of the south coast’s most popular cove villages. Portloe nestles at a point where two valleys reach the sea forming a natural harbour that has been a haven for fishermen for centuries. Surrounding the harbour are historic cottages and more grand houses, along with the Ship Inn pub and the Lugger Hotel which is open to non-residents. The South West Coastal Path leads away from Portloe in both directions along the rugged coastline towards Nare Head in the south and Portholland, Caerhays and Dodman Head in the east. The footpath descends to little known beaches surrounded by National Trust owned land and only a few miles to the west is the long sandy beach at Carne overlooking Gerrans Bay. A few miles to the west, the peninsula completely changes character from rugged cliffs to soft rolling countryside and creeks where the inns at Ruan Lanihorne, Philleigh and the Smugglers Inn by the water’s edge all offer great food. A little over one mile away from Treviskey is the larger village of Veryan where there is a primary school, sports centre, inn and general stores/post office. A larger range of services can be found between the nearby villages of Tregony, Portscatho and St Mawes. The sailing community of St Mawes sits at the end of the Roseland Peninsula beside the Percuil River where there are deep moorings for yachts and a very active sailing club offering training for juniors, whilst budding windsurfers can join the T15 Club at Percuil. There are further deep water moorings at St Just in Roseland and the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) is regarded as one of the finest areas for sailing in the United Kingdom. Secondary schooling is available at Tregony, whilst there are three private schools in Truro. Truro, around 15 minutes’ drive from Treviskey, is Cornwall’s capital city and has the largest range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities in the county along with supermarkets and trading estates on its outskirts. In the centre, there is a flagship Marks and Spencer store, a multi screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall theatre. Truro’s cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets are also home to many cafés and an ever expanding range of excellent restaurants. THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES BATHROOM – 7’6” x 7’4”.
