About this property
Gaze out over the verdant countryside towards the river from this delightful holiday home near Flushing, close to the south coast of Cornwall. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom idyllic retreat is in an exceptional position for ancient woodland and coastal walks, days out to the beach and trips into Falmouth. Next to the owner’s home, but enjoying its privacy, the dog-friendly bolthole comes with a balcony for soaking up the glorious scenery and a gorgeous garden for children and pets to play in.
Make your way into the property, which has a reverse-level design, to discover one of your bedrooms, a double with glass doors on to the garden and an en-suite shower room, is downstairs. Climb a flight of stairs to your second double bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom. Head up to the floor above to find the kitchen, which is arranged with a breakfast bar and everything else you need to help you cater for your party. The sizeable lounge/diner, with doors on to the balcony and a TV to settle down in front of, also benefits from a top-floor position, where it pulls the views right into the room. Choose between the balcony and patio on summer evenings when you fancy sitting out as the sun goes down. Watch the younger members of your group and their four-legged friend race about on the lawn. There is private parking here.
Drive 3.5 miles into Falmouth or catch the ferry over from the quay in Flushing, 1.5 miles away. The small sand and shingle cove of Flushing Beach is 2.5 miles from the retreat while the beaches of Falmouth are about 4.5 miles away. Visit Pendennis Castle and the famous National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, then wander round the shops and choose from an array of eateries when you feel like dining out.

Miss Cottenden
Can’t fault anything about our 7 nights at the crows nest. We loved everything! Phil the owner is the loveliest man. Always happy to help but not intrusive. The view was amazing from the balcony. The crows nest was clean tidy and had everything that you need for your stay. The garden is huge our little dog loved it. The local pub which was recommended by Phil is lovely too. We will absolutely be returning next year for two weeks. We didn’t want to leave
