Your own private gallery in a tranquil setting.

If you like modern spaces, and fancy hanging around sculpture for more than a quick gallery visit then this may appeal. The setting is rural the accommodation spacious and light. The sculpture is at close quarters within your apartment and in the well tended garden. The accommodation is priced for two. Babies are more than welcome ( The space is large and would accommodate three or four people with an additional cost. A sofa bed can be requested but the space is open plan). The space Your space is open-plan, spacious and is a functional gallery but is closed to the public during your stay ...it is generally an appointment only gallery. The sculpture in and around the house changes as pieces leave and return pending exhibitions. Your living space totals aprox 110 square meters. The garden is tidily landscaped and very green and contemplative. It has a stream gently flowing past with an old weir that used to facilitate the pumping station. At its best , as most Cornish gardens are, in late spring please don't expect too much of it in the winter months, though, Autumn in Cornwall is also sublime. Please note there is no TV. Mainly due to there being no signal in the valley. However the wifi is sufficient for streaming from mobile or laptop devices as most people do. The facilities and space will easily take four. It is open plan. The mezzanine is spacious as is the lower floor and a sofa bed would be for the extra guests. Lovely powerful shower heated from a ground source heat pump. All electric , no gas, ...hence no need for carbon dioxide detector although there is one. The artworks are not just for show ... they are for sale and you may see something you like .... the advantage being you will be living with it for a while. The sculpture changes as it is sold or sent for exhibitions so the images supplied are indicative of that moment only. You may be an architect or designer looking for pieces for your next project or you may merely be an enthusiast .... all are welcome. If you are considering a sculpture for home or garden then a short stay here may kill two birds. Please note the price advertised is for two people per night. Please refer to this when booking. One person £85.00. Two people £95.00. Three and four person £185.00 ....... sofa bed on lower level. These prices are not subject to seasonal change. A sofa bed will be available in the instance of 3 or four guests and must be requested at time of booking , otherwise two lounge chairs will be part of the furnishings. This is not really a space for toddlers but babies yes or a single older child perhaps could be happy with the sofa bed on the lower floor. Guest access Kitchen, lower floor, mezzanine, part of the garden. There are other spaces to use that are not part of the listing for review purpose and access is granted at discretion. I say this, as for example the conservatory and parts of the garden are changeable spaces and less private than your allocated spaces. Some people are very private and others like to expand in to the whole space. Other things to note It is generally a quiet contemplative place. It is a rural setting so there will be animal noises and agricultural traffic especially at sowing and harvest. I like the idea that if you are an artist you may bring your paints or sketchpad. If you are a musician , then your acoustic instrument, ( no amplifiers of course , we must consider the neighbours ). A cello sounds very good in the studio. But no matter, if you just want to get away from the faster pace of life and absorb and appreciate the surroundings then this is quite good option. I stress again it is rural and nature is rife. The holiday traffic is very light around here. the busiest place on the lizard peninsular tends to be Kynace cove and it absorbs a lot of the holiday traffic. So it's very easy to get around locally around Coverack, Helford, Porthallow and Manaccan etc. and the area generally attracts specialised visitors like hikers , divers , cyclists etc. Places to take note of are The Fat apples cafe , The White Hart and Three tuns ... pubs in the village. Roskillies ... Great food and live music. 'The Greenhouse restaurant in the village of St. Keverne is a top class establishment and a real treat but you HAVE TO book before you arrive as it is intimate and popular. The Halzephron Inn in Gunwalloe and the Shipwrights in Helford village.
