LOCATION The Hideaway is situated within the highly sought after village of Carnon Downs which lies just to the south west of Truro close to Restronguet Creek. The village is popular because it sits between Truro and Falmouth offering easy access to both towns which offer a wide range of shopping, leisure and sporting facilities whilst Truro is the administrative capital of Cornwall having a major coach station and mainline railway station on the direct line to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours). Carnon Downs is also particularly well placed to take full advantage of the local sailing facilities that are available on nearby Restronguet Creek which then feeds into Carrick Roads and the Fal Estuary, providing access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country together with a wide variety of yachting facilities including the nearby Mylor Yacht Harbour and the various marinas at Falmouth. The local countryside is largely unspoilt, providing tracts of farmland interspersed with woodland and many glorious countryside walks, many of which are alongside the nearby creeks and rivers. The village of Carnon Downs has an active community together with an excellent and surprisingly large local store/post office and its own doctors and dentists’ surgeries.
