About this property
Stunning Converted School House
Our fabulous home is extremely comfortable, and is perfect for celebrating a special occasion or just having a family holiday.
We've done everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible (including fine bed linen and fluffy towels!), and I have no doubt that you'll love it in our home, as well as our beautiful village! It's a magic spot that's far enough away from the madding crowd, but close enough to the best beaches, and the best towns. We've really got it all here. I promise that you won't be disappointed!
We have a lovely South facing garden and a private terrace which backs on to, and overlooks the park. It's perfect to let your children free, but you can keep an eye on them whilst sipping your wine from the terrace!
The house is a 2 minutes drive to a brilliant local shop, and only 10 minutes to both Truro and the coastal town of Falmouth. It is perfectly located to access both North coast and South coast beaches, and the South coast gardens - Trelissick, Glendurgen and Trebah (our fav!).
Our favourite very local things to do.... Kayaking from Mylor harbour to The Pandora where the kids love crabbing and we love crab sarnies! (we have two kayaks to use) - Jumping off the quay at Point on a hot Summer's day - Walking Kennall Vale (a beautiful historical waterfall walk) - Swimming at Chycara (a private swimming pool you can hire very cheaply).

About the host
Hosted by Nichola Berry
My hubby (Andrew/Bez) and I (Nicky) have two fabulous children; Scarlett is 14 and George is 10. I was bought up in Cornwall, so once we had done our 10 year stint of playing and working too hard in London, we lived in New Zealand for 3 years, and then eventually returned home in 2003. Since then, we have set up various businesses, and put our hearts and soul into converting The Old School.
Devoran is a great place to live. Its location is perfect. It offers peace and tranquility, but at the same time there are lots of active things to do at our finger tips. We love swimming in the creek, kayaking, and cycling on the Bissoe trail.
We will share all our secret places with you... You'll love it!
Why they chose this property
It's light and airy, cosy and comfortable, spotless and luxurious. AND there's plenty of space inside if it's a rainy day!
What makes this property unique
It's a beautiful Victorian school! Even though we've fully modernised it inside, it still has the high Windows and the vaulted ceilings to retain an element of its original feel. We have views over the back garden, to the park, and the creek beyond.
