Born to Fly Truro, Cornwall

Property Description

Inspired by Cornwall's aviation history, this sleek flat is the perfect spot for your Cornish adventure to take flight. Set in a Garde II-listed building, the hosts have effortlessly combined contemporary design with Truro's sense of heritage. We love the quirky, flight-related decorations – antique flags hang in the bedroom, pilot posters adorn the hallway walls – and the supremely comfortable bed and squishy leather sofa are just the ticket after a long day on your feet. Home chefs can rustle up delicious treats in the elegant blue kitchen, which has everything you'll need to cook up a storm. The best part, in our opinion, is the large private balcony. It's sheltered from the elements, meaning you can dine alfresco, relax with a glass of wine and soak up the Cornish breeze no matter the weather.

We also adore the location. Right in the centre of Truro's historic streets, you've got a wealth of dining and shopping options practically on your doorstep. Between browsing the local art galleries, touring the famous Truro Cathedral and wandering the cobbled Georgian lanes, you'll never run out of things to do. For a change of scenery, take a cruise down the River Truro, wander along the riverside paths towards pretty Malpas and St Clement, or hop in the car and drive twenty minutes to Perranporth Beach.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area – it’s not the most comfortable and it’s at the expense of living space, so we’d suggest this flat is better suited for two *The entrance is shared with other residents in the building *You may have to climb stairs to reach this flat *There's no parking provided, but you can unload your bags at the loading bay directly opposite the building – there's a ten-minute time limit *This flat is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
