Nevada

Introduction

Encased by a wraparound deck and glinting in the light, this luxury self-catering home mirrors the style of a Californian lakehouse. With the reservoir as the backdrop and sunsets melting into the waters below, Nevada is an idyllically positioned haven perfect for those wanting to experience ultimate relaxation. If you can manage to tear yourself away, explore Cornwall's charming west coast by wandering around pretty Mousehole, diving into the art deco sea pool on Penzance promenade or hop-skipping between Newlyn's bistros and parlours.

Inside

Sprawling over three spacious floors, Nevada is the ultimate scenic lookout where the panoramic views are exclusively yours. Spend mornings through to evenings in content marooned bliss on the plump sofas or around the window-side dining table, with only sounds of the reservoir wildlife to disturb. Perfect for families or friends, this waterside haven flaunts three zip-and-link bedrooms. The lower deck comprises two bedrooms, each with private sun decks, while the middle deck features the third bedroom and luxurious family bathroom.

Outside

Outside, landscaped lawns enclose Nevada and seemingly spill into the reservoir below. The secret garden gate opens out onto the waterside pathway where couples can enjoy romantic moonlit wanders. Keen fisherfolk can hire a boat and enjoy the clear waters of the Drift Reservoir stocked with Rainbow and Blue Trout. Meanwhile, birdwatchers will be spoilt for choice, spotting herons, swans, geese and resident Muscovy duck enjoying the lake all from the vantage point of the private south-west deck.

Newlyn

A smattering of fisher-folk inns, antique shops, art galleries, ice cream parlours, and seafood bars by the bucketload; this once major port that most only drove through is now a destination in its own right.
