At A Glance

Overview

Oysters is a delightful traditional 2 bedroom cottage in the village of Malpas, overlooking the upper navigable reaches of the Fal River at the point where the Fal, Truro and Tresillian rivers all converge. Malpas offers the best of both worlds as you can enjoy the beauty of the water along with the charming Cathedral City of Truro, which is just two miles away along the river, with its profusion of charming boutique shops, restaurants and cafes.

The terraced garden at Oysters, located at the back of the property, steep steps lead up to a sun terrace with spectacular views down the Malpas River.

Detailed Description

From Easter to October, a small passenger water ferry runs, which you can embark on from the local marina. From here, you can explore the hidden treasures of the Truro River, visit Falmouth, St Mawes or take a walk around the beautiful unspoilt National Trust Trelissick House & gardens. There are beautiful walks from the village along the river up to Truro or follow the meandering river up to St Clement’s and onto Tresillian, perfect for bird watchers.

Slightly further afield are the beautiful Cornish Gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, situated on the picturesque Helford River, near Falmouth. Or visit the beautiful Roseland Peninsula, which can easily access via a short drive and hop on board the King Harry ferry.
