Even the King Harry Ferry offering day trips to the beautiful Roseland Peninsula is just a mere 2 miles away. With Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, St. Just in Roseland and the north coast of Cornwall also within a short drive, visitors can enjoy this perfectly placed retreat all year round.
