Situated on a small, family-run farm on the outskirts of Carbis Bay, Swallow’s Nest is a contemporary first-floor apartment. Beautifully furnished with stylish interiors to create light and airy accommodation, while a wood burning stove keeps things warm on cooler days. Ideal for a family or couple looking for a Cornish coast and countryside escape. Please note, the property is accessed via steep external steps so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
Outside, Swallow’s Nest benefits from a decked balcony complete with a barbecue overlooking the farm, home to stables ad grazing horses.
The apartment is perfectly placed for exploring North Cornwall’s stunning coastline. Nearby Hayle is a haven for nature lovers with an RSPB reserve sitting in the river’s estuary. Comprising saltmarsh, mudflats, and tidal lagoons, the reserve attracts thousands of wetland birds including shelducks, teal, curlews, oystercatchers, and Mediterranean gulls.
At St Ives, just a ten minute drive away, visitors can enjoy its vibrant arts scene with Tate St Ives exhibiting works by 20th century artists including Barbara Hepworth, Marlow Moss, and Patrick Heron. Leach Pottery is also well worth a visit, home to a studio, shop, and learning centre.
Other attractions within easy reach include St Michael’s Mount at Marazion, Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, and Chysauster Ancient Village, one of the best examples of a Roman-British village in Britain.
Carbis Bay is within walking distance, with a beautiful stretch of white sand, clear turquoise waters, a watersports centre, and a small selection of shops, including a supermarket, and restaurants. The village also has a railway station with services to St Erth from where you can connect to the Cornish mainline for direct trains to Truro, St Austell, Bodmin Parkway, Plymouth, and Exeter.
