About this property

You will be staying in a 1960s American Airstream that has been converted to a more modern specification.
The Airstream will fit 4 people in two double beds once the sofa has been converted, there is also a small kitchen and wet room with shower.

The Airstream is set in the 5acres surrounding our farmhouse, there are three ponds each larger than the last, the ponds are fed by a small stream that runs alongside an orchard with about 30 apple, plum and pear trees.
Roaming the land you will find our goats, ducks and chickens and if you're lucky you may see the deer, kingfishers and otters as well as lots of other wildlife.
Our land is surrounded by farmers fields which are often filled with cows, to the far end where the stream leaves the property there is an ancient woodland that in spring comes alive with hundreds of thousands of bluebells.

If you manage to pull yourselves away from our grounds then there are plenty of walks in the surrounding area. Falmouth is a 10min drive away where there is a small town and a choice of beaches. Truro is also a 10min drive away and is the main shopping town in Cornwall.
In the unlikely event of rain then the Eden Project is the place to visit with its tropical and Mediterranean biomes.

There are a large number of great restaurants and pubs nearby and we would be happy to advise on our personal favourites.

The van was clean, fully equipped with plenty of storage, host family was friendly and approachable

Lovely property with original air stream features, plenty of space and very clean. The orchard is spacious and made my daughters holiday with playing with helping with the chickens and dogs. Will recommend to family and friends, the area is close to Falmouth which was convenient and has great beaches. Look forward to visiting in future

Disappointing

We are a family a 4. 2 adults and one teenager and one small child. We had a weeks stay in the airstream The location of Falmouth is perfect. ( a 10 minute drive) A lovely Harbour town with plenty of resturants, shops and a few close beaches. More beautiful beaches only a short distance away. Perfect location Unfortunately We found the airstream very small And too confined space for us all. This would have been ok if we had a much shorter stay The airstream was clean. Well equipped and Both beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was small with limited workspace but breakfast was manageable and there was a Barbeque if needed The outside lights were pretty and the outside area was nice with comfortable seating This was also used in the evening, and was a lovely place to sit while the children was asleeping Unfortunately the outside lights were only working on 2/3 nights of our stay. So we wasn’t able to sit outside in the evening as we would have liked too. The shower tock a long time for us all. With filling the water, then heating the water (25 minutes), and after 2 very short showers, this all needed to be done again for the next showers. Our children loved the animals and enjoyed feeding the chickens and ducks. The grounds are lovely. But you feel restricted on where you go. And didn’t feel we could explore aches of land that was advertised. Pleas note. The airstreams photos in the advertisement gave the illusion of space and brightness inside. But unfortunately this isn’t true and the airstream is very small and quite dark. Especially compared to the photos. This is why I am giving the holiday a low rating. As our expectations from the photos were not met I would recommend this property for a short stay, With a smaller family or just a couple.
