Lower Meadow is a delightful house and the owner lives just to the rear of the property should you need assistance. Set in its own grounds with a lovely walled garden to one side - perfect for barbecues, also has a lovely veranda which is a great place to just sit and read a book. Inside, there is plenty of living space with a living room, a separate dining room and a fully equipped kitchen.
The beautiful Ruthern Valley is one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. Woodland slopes descend to a shady river valley where you can enjoy the undisturbed sounds of the country, away from the hustle and bustle of the frantic coastal resorts. You would not believe there are places like this in Cornwall! Ruthern Bridge is midway between the north and south coasts and just a few minutes drive from the A30 dual carriageway making it a very convenient place to stay. The Eden Project, Padstow and some great surf beaches are all within a short drive.
Wadebridge, once a Market Town, is now more widely known as being part of The Camel Trail, the cycle route out to Padstow from the depths of Bodmin Moor along the old tram way route. You can hire a bike at the start of the trail and cycle to Padstow, now famous for being home to Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant, amongst other businesses the celebrity chef owns in the town. From Padstow you could take a boat trip across the Camel Estuary to Rock, and lounge on the beautiful beach that stretches all the way around to Daymer Bay. The National Lobster Hatchery which neighbours Rick Stein’s empire in Padstow is also worth a visit. The Royal Cornwall Show ground at Wadebridge hosts the county show every June, come rain or shine, and is opened each year by a member of the Royal Family. Cornish Farmers have had to diversify in recent years but the show has kept it’s traditional roots with steam engines being shown next to the shiny new high-tech tractors. It’s not every day you get to see formation JCB digger dancing in the main ring. The National Trust have three properties nearby: Lanhydrock House, Trerice, Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps. Slightly further afield is the Eden Project in St Austell, famously built in a disused china clay pit. Beach 12½ miles.
