This is a beautiful place to stay and the gardens are spectacular. Great location for walking from the house. The beach is just down the road. The directions to the house, around country roads, were very clear and easy to follow. The last bit is a lot of single track roads but there are passing places, just watch out for supermarket delivery drivers!! I did a google map virtual tour of the last bit of directions and so I knew where the last sign was to Flushing, which was otherwise hidden in the hedge and we may have missed it. The pool was great in October as we had good weather. The walks from the beach around the Estuary are stunning especially round to Gillan Cove. We totally relaxed and beach combed a lot. This is far better than the photos show and the wildlife and coastal views and star gazing is a photographer's paradise....

Beautiful location with views of Helford River running out to sea. Marnylunn is a spacious property within walking distance to the coastal path. The additional use of an Annexe for two created privacy within a family holiday. The kitchen is exceptional including a wine fridge and ice maker for those summer evening around the pool or sitting by the fire pit. ...

We had a fantastic stay in Marnylunn. The cover had been left of the pool for our arrival which made for the best wow factor and our children bee lined for it. The views are sensational, the garden is larger than it looks and has a small but prolific orchard, the kitchen was superbly equipped and there were plenty of little extras to make us feel spoilt. The mouth of the river is just at the bottom of the road and we popped down there every day. We have already booked to stay again....

We absolutely loved our week at Marnylunn. A beautiful house set in an equally beautiful location, with stunning views to wake up to, we couldn’t have asked for more. The house was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable We wanted a peaceful holiday and got it. We did take a few trips out to Falmouth and Penzance which were easy to get to by car. The last few miles is down narrow lanes but drive slowly and with care and you will be fine. Owner even texted with some useful information the day before which was nice. Will definitely look to return to Marnylunn....

A beautifully refurbished home in a unique and very peaceful setting. It was amazing to wake up every morning and look down the valley, over the garden, to the boats sitting on the river below. The house is very private but not isolated. It's tucked away down country lanes , so it takes a while to get anywhere. But really, the generous swimming pool, the garden (including fruit and veg to pick), the brilliantly equipped kitchen, the comfy living room, the barbecue and fire pit, the cove at the bottom of the road for swimming, proximity to coast path, and boat hire on the river means you don't need to go anywhere. A really special experience....
