The large south facing terrace comes complete with a covered wrought iron gazebo, bbq, garden furniture, arbour, numerous plants (and an automated watering system) making the perfect spot to relax after sightseeing or your visit to one of the many beaches on your doorstep.

It is only a five minute drive away, and a few minutes walk from the bus route. The free telephone facility means you can easily keep in touch with the hospital and be only a few minutes away if they need you.

The West Country / Cornwall region

Picturesque villages dot this area and there is always something happening in the summer months that range from local festivals to outdoor activities. There is an abundance of culture, heritage and spirit in this area. Sample the wonderful Cornish cuisine or watch the sun set whilst enjoying cream tea and cakes in one of the many cafes.

Although Truro gives you easy access to bars, restaurants and shopping, it also retains a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere For those of you who can’t resist shopping you will find a mix of big name retail outlets and smaller eclectic shops – and if you’re a fan of local produce there is a weekly farmers market where you will find a large selection of local specialities.

The ferries available from the centre of Truro provide easy access to Falmouth, whilst the nearby train station allows you to travel all over the County without the use of your car.

Numerous flights land everyday at Newquay Airport, from across the United Kingdom and Europe making Truro easier than ever to visit. Car rental is available at the airport.

Truro area

Wherever you stay in Cornwall you will want to visit the capital of Truro - making Kelsey House ideal. We are situated in the heart of Truro, on a quite residential road yet still only a 5 minute walk from the city centre and all it has to offer (including night clubs, pubs and award winning restaurants). Truro is the 'must see' city in the Westcountry and is ideal for visiting major retailers, local craft shops and browsing the French market that frequently visits the Lemon Quay Piazza. The awe inspiring cathedral climbs skyward out of the very centre of the city and accommodates the famous painting by John Miller of ‘Cornubia’. With fantastic rail and bus links throughout the county, and being only 30 minutes from the airport you don’t really need a car, but if you brought one, you have the option to park it up in Kelsey’s large remote controlled garage and forget about it for the duration of your stay.

Cornwall's scenery changes every couple of miles, from upland heath to wooded river valley, hidden coves to rugged cliffs, making it a premier holiday destination as it offers something for everyone. You might wish to relax and bask in the sunshine on one of the many golden beaches that adorn the miles of rugged coastline around Cornwall or explore the moorlands and cliff tops.

The timeless quality of Cornwall is shown in the landscape and attractions such as the Eden Project. The many towns and villages have their own unique quality and traditions, often shown at annual events. Whatever you decide to do is likely to give you access to amazing scenery and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the Ocean. Known for always being a few degrees warmer than the rest of the UK, Cornwall is without exception the ultimate UK holiday destination. Cornwall creates a mesmerising taste that is intoxicating and most will return to re-experience.
