There are two self-catering cottages - one with 4/5 beds and the other with 5/6 beds in the grounds of a historical manor house.

Nance is between Portreath, Illogan and Bridge approximately 3 miles from Redruth and the A30. It is an attractive and peaceful setting just 20 minutes walk from the sea through a bluebell wood.

The local beach at Portreath is ideal for young children to play sandcastles and also for swimmers and surfers. One of the best bodyboarding beaches in the country. Nance is a central location to visit all of Cornwall and its numerous attractions - gardens, mines, adventure parks, etc. Full details of attractions are available on site.

If you feel adventurous you can hire a bike from a neighbouring farm and cycle along a former tramway from north to south coast. Alternatively you could have surfing lessons or walk the coastal footpath enjoying superb views. If the weather is bad you could get wet instead on the water slides at the local leisure centre! The farm has cattle, including Highland, chickens, ducks and also sheep in the winter. There are thirty-five acres of trees and three ponds. There are resident owls and you might even be welcomed by a pheasant as you go down the drive.

To reach Nance walkers follow the stream up the valley from Portreath through Illogan Woods. By car there is a choice of exits from the A30 but if you take the Redruth /Portreath/Treasure Park turn off head towards Portreath and Treasure Park (B3300) go past the Treasure Park and take the first left after the garage in Bridge. (The Bridge Inn will be immediately on your right). Go up the hill, take the first right then the next right and another right immediately. You will then be on Nance Lane. Illogan Village Hall is on your left and on the wall in front of you is the name ’Nance’. Go down the drive and around the back of the house where there is ample parking.

You can also arrive by train getting off at Redruth Station and catching a bus outside, or by National Express and bus. The nearest bus stop is Illogan Churchtown.
