Ruan Dinas, situated on the banks of Cowlands Creek, a tributary of the Fal, is nestled between some picturesque woodland and the tranquil waters of the estuary. It is a perfect spot for kayaking, boating or stand up paddle boarding. Roundwood Quay is literally at the bottom of the garden and smaller children will love the opportunity to go crabbing and the owners have thoughtfully included crab lines as part of their inventory. If you have a larger boat there is even a mooring included. In the winter months there is a superb wood burner to absorb the warmth while watching the ebb and flow of the tide - a perfect way to relax and enjoy your holiday.
Roundwood Quay is a short distance away from Penelewey where the welcoming Punchbowl and Ladle offers excellent food and a convivial atmosphere. A couple of miles away is Loe Beach, a sheltered watersports haven at the top of the Carrick Roads. During the season there is a busy little cafe selling a variety of delicious home cooked meals and a vibrant watersports centre where you can rent boats and kayaks or have lessons to learn the basics. Trelissick Gardens are a 5 minute drive or a nice walk away and from there the tourist hot spots of Falmouth, St Mawes and Truro are all connected via ferry for an enjoyable adventure on the high seas. A short drive inland is the cathedral city of Truro with a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants.
