My Love Shack (The Nook), is located directly opposite Maenporth Beach, near Falmouth in Cornwall.

A true Home from Home experience and one step up from camping.

Fully furnished but you MUST bring your own Bedding (Duvets, Pillows and Covers), Towels and Toiletries.

My family purchased The Nook and Cranny in August 2009. The Cranny has recently been replaced by The Beach House, which is located right next door.

I do have plans to replace The Nook in the future, with something a little more up to date, but I thought I'd let family and friends enjoy it first (and you of course). Sharing is caring right

So here's your chance to experience this little gem and enjoy what I trust will be a memorable and enjoyable beach holiday in this magical location by the sea.

LOCATION, LOCATION......

The Nook is a step up from camping, with 3 bedrooms, open plan living/dining room, a full kitchen and a family bathroom, with mains pressure hot water shower - AND IT'S ON THE BEACH!!!

The Nook has an enclosed, level, child-friendly garden and a huge timber deck, both directly opposite the beach, with stunning views of Falmouth Bay, Pendennis Castle, St. Anthony's Lighthouse and further out to sea.

Both the garden and deck are shared with the owners of the adjacent Beach House, which is immediately next door and was completed in May 2019. It is not shown in all the pictures, so as to avoid any confusion or get you too excited.

Hey, you're getting a good deal but not that good!

SO WHY'S IT SO CHEAP

Here's why it's such a great deal. It's likely cheaper than Camping or Glamping and probably cheaper than staying in a Surf Pod, Holiday Cottage, Apartment, Youth Hostel, Bed & Breakfast, Guest House or Hotel (especially if there are 6 of you staying).

You're going to be Camping/Self Catering, in an old timber Beach Shack (Cabin, Lodge, Bungalow).

You will need to take all your own bedding (including sheets, pillows, pillow cases, blankets, duvets, sleeping bags, etc) plus towels (including beach towels), shampoo, soap, shower gel, shaving stuff, toilet rolls and all personal items, food and drink you need and would expect to take if you were camping. You remember those days right

Don't worry if you do forget something.

CO-OP is less than 2km away and only 4 minutes by car, on the way to Falmouth - Mongleath Ave, Falmouth TR11 4PN

POST OFFICE & STORE - Mawnan Smith is only 3 km away and 5 minutes by car - The Post Office, The Square, Mawnan Smith, Falmouth TR11 5EP

ASDA, LIDL, SAINSBURYS and Falmouth Town are only 6km away and 10 minutes by car.

ASDA - Jennings Rd, Penryn TR10 9LY
CO-OP - Mongleath Ave, Falmouth TR11 4PN
LIDL - Falmouth Rd, Falmouth TR10 8AB
SAINSBURYS - Ashfield Rd, Falmouth TR11 2RZ

DINING OUT

The Award Winning Cove Restaurant and Bar is less than 100m from your doorstep, with stunning views from the large terrace overlooking Maenporth Beach and Falmouth Bay.

There's also a cafe, restaurant and at least 1 decent Pub in Mawnan Smith, plus some fantastic waterside pubs, hotels and restaurants less than 10 minutes away by car.

SELF CATERING FACILITIES

There is basic cooking equipment (oven & hob), kitchen utensils and washing facilities, including a washing machine and maybe even a tumble dryer. Please look after them and do not overload them or leave them turned on when not in use.

The Air Conditioning units may even be working when you're there but it's not guaranteed (due to the seaside climate). Again, please don't leave them on when not required or when you're out.

The Nook is by the sea and you may experience 'Cornish Mist' and the occasional chilly Sea Breeze. You WILL get condensation on windows from time to time. The trick is to keep the place well ventilated as much as possible and just wipe the windows now and then, mopping up any condensation from windows and sills. Do NOT leave books, phones, tablets, laptops, cameras and other valuables on window sills or by the windows. They could get damp and I can accept no responsibility for any damage to your personal belongings. You have been warned.

The price you pay includes electric and water (there's no gas) and there will be no refunds whatsoever - especially if things don't work properly (Phone Signal, Air Con or WIFI) - or if it rains!

Remember, you're Camping in an old timber shack by the sea!!! But at least you're not in a tent ;-)

Our family love this place and I'm sure you will too.

We still visit and stay in The Nook now and again, so we'd really appreciate it if you would look after our little timber Love Shack by the beach and leave it clean and tidy when you go home.

We operate a 'Clean and Go' Policy, so you will not be charged a Cleaning Fee. A Hoover and Cleaning Products will be provided and a £150 deposit will be returned if you leave our home clean and tidy and no damage has been caused during your stay.

That means no skid marks in the loo and no toothpaste, food, fat and hair in basins and plug holes please.

AND FINALLY

Please sign and leave comments in my Guest Book before you go and make sure you leave the keys for our next guests.

Have fun and I truly hope you have an amazing and memorable stay in my Love Shack by the beach.....

    I would like to share our experience in this beautiful place with magical view! We are amazed how everything was so clean, the people are so welcoming and caring and our time here was absolutely amazing! We were also very touched by seeing that it was a potty left there for our little one. We couldn't ask for more!

    We had a lovely stay here, all amenities were available, we came equiped assuming we would need everything but there are things left there for cleaning etc so you dont really need to take too much. Just replace what you use which is easier than what we did. Clear instructions from host in terms of keeping things clean, and keeping the temperature steady. Great location, the beach is very family friendly, theres a little cafe on the beach and a restaurant across the road. We used the place as a base to explore the region but theres plenty to do if you want to just relax and stay local too. Falmouth is a lovely little place to spend the days.

    The Nook is a gorgeous little find, a beach front property that we were lucky to stay in for a week at the end of August. It truly is the best of both worlds, a fantastic beach with the most amazing food surrounding you. Not forgetting the peace and quiet.The property has everything you could wish to need and offers extreme comfort, not to mention the lovely front garden with excellent seating facing the beach. I adored the uniqueness of this property and found it to be so tranquil, the owner was always on hand to answer any questions or queries, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back to this little gem! Love Maggie & Family

    Absolutely amazingly perfect from start to finish. It was simple to get into, even finding it wasnt to hard and the location is beyond beautiful.. its littery opposite the beach , so much so- that you can hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep through the window. The layout of the shack is perfext too, a kitchen with everything you could ever need. The recycling facilities are on top form too.

    Our stay at The Nook was really lovely! We stayed here for our holiday and we all had a very comfortable stay. The location was amazing, getting to be right be the beach was so wonderful and we enjoyed being able to see and hear the waves in the morning! The communication with the owner was also fab, they gave us all the information we needed and was super helpful. Thank you very much!

    We chose the Love Shack because of it’s proximity to the beach, it is literally a stones throw away! It’s a very cute place to stay and whilst it’s not show house standard you know what you’re getting if you read the description!It’s a good base for exploring Cornwalls delights and you can walk to Falmouth if you’re so inclined. We loved our stay and have already recommended it to friends so if you want a no frills stay at a great price the Love Shack is what you’re looking for.

    We had four nights here over Feb half term with a 7 and 4 year old. We loved rockpooling, exploring the caves & the beach cafe all literally a few steps from our door. Also enjoyed a trip into Falmouth for swimming pool & maritime museum. The chalet is as described and Hayden was very responsive to our needs. Thanks for a great trip.

    The Shack was exactly as advertised. Small but comfortable. The owner was forthcoming with all relevent information and the place was perfect for investigating family history in Cornwall.

    The property was pretty much as described and expected but its arms length management might mean it is less comfortable in extremes of weather. I had communications with the owner a week before our stay checking what the heating situation was as I had spotted cold nights on forcasts. I was reassured by the response but actually 2 (out of 4) of the heating units were non funcional on arrival. So 2 of our party experienced a cold night even with reasonable bedding taken. 2 electric heaters were found for our second night but they were far from ideal one being noisy and the other was halogen lighting up the bedroom but we could at least warm up the rooms before turning in. Extra nights were offered as compensation but travel arrangements meant we could not take advantage of this. Communication was very good but the checking of the property before letting was not good enough .

    Comfortable, well equipped and in a great location for visiting busy Falmouth and beyond, while still enjoying some quiet winter calm and beautiful Cornish walks and scenery. We had breakfast on the deck one morning; a real treat in November! Great communication before during and after our stay. Thank you!
