The Pines is a bungalow in Treskerby, near Redruth. It's detached and quiet, surrounded by fields. The garden is yours to use.
It sleeps four in two bedrooms, with one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating, so it's comfortable and well-equipped. Everything's on one level which is handy.
The living area is open-plan, which is good if you're all together. The kitchen is a bit old-fashioned but it works fine and has a dishwasher. The shower is a good size.
You can bring two dogs. The garden is enclosed, but you should check the hedging is high enough for yours. There's parking right outside.
You're about a ten-minute drive from the north coast. Porthtowan and Portreath are the closest beaches. Both are good for surfing and have sand when the tide's out.
For walking, you're on the edge of the Cornish Mining World Heritage area. The Great Flat Lode trail is right there for walks or bike rides. You can see old engine houses from the path. Carn Brea is a short drive and the views from the top are worth it.
There's a pub in the village, about a fifteen-minute walk. The Scorrier Estate is nearby if there's an event on.
You're well placed for getting around. Redruth and Camborne are five minutes by car for supermarkets. Falmouth is about twenty minutes, Truro about twenty-five. For a longer day out, St Ives or the Lizard peninsula are within an hour's drive.
