Location and Surrounding Area
Along the lane and over an enchanting humpback bridge is the head of Polwheveral Creek, where at high tide visions of ‘Swallows and Amazons’ will form as you watch the wildlife that makes home on the river. A slow amble up a steep lane, across rolling fields and through woodland will see you out to Scott’s Quay.
Three-hundred yards from home is the ever-popular Trengilly Wartha Inn, for filling food and drink guaranteed to be served with a winning Cornish welcome. Just fifteen minutes from home by foot and you’ll find yourself at Potager Garden, an organic café and workshop venue where you can relax in one of the hammocks, play ping-pong or badminton, or explore wild and wonderful flora in the heavenly garden.
The culture and the culinary creativity of the harbourside town of Falmouth is only a short hop away – just twenty minutes by car. This diverse and characterful town steeped in maritime history hosts Cornwall’s best independent shops, cafés and restaurants. And you can easily explore the local landscape further from the water. Catch a ferry across to the beautiful Roseland Peninsula, or meander instead along the Fal and Helford rivers to discover creeks and coves and crystal-clear waters.
Beside Nancenoy Cottage sits Nancenoy Farmhouse. When booked together, a gate can be unlocked to join the two gardens. Combined, the properties sleep up to fifteen and provide a sprawling country haven for two or more families. On its own, however, Nancenoy Cottage pleasures in its privacy and you’ll sense only the slightest of impact from neighbours.
Reviews

We had a fabulous long stay at Nancenoy Farmhouse over Christmas. Once we'd turned the Aga up and turned the underfloor heating room thermostats up the house soon warmed up and kept us comfortably throughout our 10 day winter stay. We lit the wood burner in the sitting room in the evenings. There's an excellent local family run wood supplier not far away (Firewood Supplies Ltd on the A394) - their hard wood lasts a lot longer than cheaper stuff from petrol stations/supermarkets. The farmhouse is in a small hamlet with a lovely pub right next door - The Trengilly Wartha Inn. Good beer, good food and no noise. There are not many paths within walking distance - short walks up to Constantine village and down to Scott's Quay (lovely spot to look at and listen to waders on the mud flats - particularly enjoyed the Curlew calling to each other across the creek). Access to the farmhouse is down narrow steep lanes to get to it. Daunting at first, we soon got used to these after a few days and happily explored this part of Cornwall. Land's End, Minack Theater, Lizard Point, and the North Cornish coast are all within easy reach. Delighted with our stay and warmly recommend Cornish Holiday Cottages.Thank you so much for your review of Nancenoy Farmhouse. We’re delighted to hear you had a fabulous Christmas retreat.
