Guests find the property very comfortable, with quality fittings and furniture, and appreciate the spacious living and kitchen area as well as the comfortable bedrooms.
The property is described as well-equipped and appointed to a high standard. However, one review suggests that the number of stairs and the annex nature of the property should be mentioned, indicating a potential area for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

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 retreat is in an exceptional position for 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 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.

Crows nest is very comfortable clean and well equiped, and we received a very friendly greeting from the owner on arrival. The view of Falmouth and Flushing from the balcony is lovely during the day and pretty at night with the twinkling lights. We look forward to going back

We had a wonderful week at The Crows nest. The views from the top floor were stunning and we loved the fact that each couple had their own floor for bedroom and en suite. The living and kitchen area was great and very spacious. We would stay here again.

The view alone makes this worth renting. Very homely and welcoming with relaxed rules and huge garden for dogs to run. Will stay again.
