Nancealverne House

Review for Nancealverne House This is a subtitle for your new post

My stay in October 2020 

Section 1: 

One of the best places to stay in Cornwall. The Nancealverne House provides a whole new experience for young and old people, even dogs. This property remained the home for soldiers, sailors and even tin mining entrepreneurs of the 1700s due to the prize money won at the Battle of Nile. Thus, came the Nancealverne House, now turned into a modern holiday home. This luxury state home has way too much space than you can get used to, with colossal portraits staring down at you, a big living room and a huge pond for canoeing. Moreover, it has a lot of space to run around in general. If you are looking for a peaceful bit of relaxation, this may be the perfect place to go to. The location has lovely cliffsides to view and walk on, beautiful beaches and coves to relax by the seaside and expansive gardens to frolic around. With greenery this big, you could do endless activities without any distractions due to the remote placement of the house. Also, if you feel upset about leaving your dog at home, you can take them with you as it’s a very canine friendly environment. 

Section 2: 

Things to do 

  • Go swimming at any of the beaches or coves. Even some open-air swimming pools like Jubilee Pool which also has a lovely café 
  • A lot of walking trails to explore and cliffs to climb 
  • Gaze upon outdoor theatres by the cliffs 
  • Canoe in the pond in the garden 
  • Good souvenir shops 
  • A good amount of place to park your boat 
  • Some fun arcades like the Harbour Amusements 
  • A lot of nature and parks to discover 
  • Museums if the historical state home wasn’t interesting enough 
  • Bask on some lovely tours (maybe even some scavenger hunts) 
  • Bodmin Jail Hotel – If you want a good fright and stay some nights. 
  • And more!!! 

Since I like Cornwall a lot, it was nice to stay there in an enormous house for a change rather than a smaller less quiet holiday. My auntie and uncle enjoyed the walks around the beach and cliffsides as they like exploring every bit of Cornwall, along with their German Shepherd. Everyone else enjoyed this experience as they got to interact like humans during covid where you couldn’t socialize. In comparison to the rest of UK, I enjoyed it more because it was something I never thought I would do and it was a really cozy week I spent there. It had a vast majority of beaches, long walking trails and just amazing monuments to glare at. If you don’t believe me when I say this place is spectacular, I’m actually coming back in September for 2 weeks just because I couldn’t get enough.
