Summary

Imagine a holiday home where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular beauty of the Helford River and the ancient woodland of the magical 50 acre estate that is Calamansac – where your every need has been catered for and meticulously thought out. Where guest comfort is paramount, the space boundless and the setting idyllic.

A unique collaboration between the Green Family (owners), the renowned London, Cowan Architects, Tom Earl Builders, Fran Keene Consultancy and Emily of Cornish Holiday Cottages – together we are using our expertise and inherent knowledge of what holiday home cottage guests want to produce a universal design. So if you have a mobility impairment this is the house for you. Equally if you are completely able bodied and looking for a five star retreat with access to the safe and sheltered sailing waters of the Helford River, two private beaches and fifty acres of meadow garden and woodland, then this is also the place for you.

Aesthetically pleasing and universally accessible, the Sail Loft, offers level access from the car park into the stunning first floor living accommodation. The fully glazed, floor to ceiling, gable end windows overlooking the Helford River will take your breath away every time you enter the room.

The Scandinavian, mid-century style furnishings will perfectly compliment the space and are somewhat moveable to adapt to your needs. The fully accessible, state of the art kitchen will be a delight for all to use. You will enjoy eating on the balcony in spring/summer and round the Tom Raffield dining table, close to the roaring log burner in winter. Centrally heated with underfloor heating throughout and individual room controls (via the house iPad) you will be warm and cosy whatever the weather.

Access to the ground floor is via a lift or stairs. Here you have four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The master suite is fully accessible with a super-king (6ft) zip and link bed (and space for a hoist should you require it), plus a fully modified shower and bathroom.

Location and Surrounding Area

Calamansac is secluded, seven miles from Falmouth and close to the village of Port Navas. Access is by a steep private road, about half a mile long, leading from the centre of the village.

Calamansac provides a unique opportunity for sailing with dinghy launching at most states of the tide (apart from low spring tides) and in any weather. There is a road through the wood to a slipway and a safe anchorage with a lock-up boat house for storage of gear.

Trengilly Wartha Inn is within 2.5 miles and serves very good food. Or if you are bringing a boat why not pop round to The Ferry Boat Inn by water.

Port Navas Yacht Club – your local, quirky gem on the edge of Port Navas creek. For opening times and menu please visit www.pnyc.co.uk. Please book ahead with your hosts Nigel/Mike 01326 340065 as the venue is somewhat bijou! Dogs and children welcome. For boat moorings/berths – Tom 01326 340525

Whilst those visiting Calamansac are sure to want to spend most of their time exploring the idyllic Helford River and sheltered boating waters, it should be noted that the contrasting rugged cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula are only a twenty-five minute drive away.
