    Towan Cottage is a cosy holiday cottage in a stunning location on the Roseland peninsula. Boasting a wood burning stove in the sitting room and substantial partially-enclosed garden, Towan Cottage is a great place for a family break. It can also be combined with neighbouring cottage, Roseland Porth Farm House (sleeps five), via an interconnecting door, for larger parties of up to eight people and three dogs. It is also close to Roseland Porth Barn (sleeps six) and Penhaligon's (sleeps two), two more of our lovely holiday cottages.

    After an alfresco lunch, take a five minute stroll to Towan Beach. This quiet beach is the perfect place to sit back and unwind. The sea here is perfect for paddlers too. The tiny coves of Great Molunan and Little Molunan at St. Antony Head are also nearby.

    Further afield, the famous port town of Falmouth has lots to offer. Enjoy a Cornish pasty from one of the many bakeries, stop for a drink at a quayside pub and marvel at the great ships hauled up at the docks.
