Trevow

Four-bedroom house at Treslothan on the southern edge of Camborne, sleeping eight. Set back from Shorts Hill with off-street parking and an enclosed garden. The layout suits two families sharing - bedrooms split across floors and two bathrooms stop the morning queue.

Open-plan kitchen-diner with dishwasher, washing machine and a separate sitting room with open fire. A dedicated games room keeps teenagers entertained on rainy days. Ground-floor cloakroom with grab rails makes the property workable for guests with limited mobility; the bedrooms themselves are upstairs. EV charging point in the driveway - one of the few Camborne cottages with it.

Portreath beach is four miles north by road - a sandy harbour cove with a pub on the seafront, reliable surf and the South West Coast Path running off both ends. Godrevy sits five miles away with its lighthouse on the headland east of Hayle. Tehidy Country Park is two miles off with 250 acres of woodland, lakes and waymarked walking trails. The Heartlands heritage centre at Pool, built on a former copper mine in the UNESCO-listed Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, is a 10-minute drive.

Best for two families or a group of eight wanting space, games-room cover for teenagers and an EV-friendly inland base. Less good for couples or anyone wanting to walk out to a seafront pub - Camborne is inland, beaches need the car.
