Trewane Cottage

Anyone looking for an extremely quiet and away from it all location, as we were, this is the place to book! Positioned in a small valley, approached down a track off of the lane, the first thing you come across is the beautiful old mill pond. Having the freedom to wander outside of the cottage was very nice. Philippa, the owner, made us extremely welcome and living in the large Manor House next door was available should we have any issues. Charlie, the housekeeper was also very helpful and left the cottage very clean and tidy. Our 2 dogs loved the area and the garden was dog proof, another point that from visits to other cottages has not always been the case. The cottage is very homely and comfortable, including the bed! An important point to ensure a good nights sleep after a day out in the Cornish fresh air. Upon arrival, to find a fully equipped kitchen including dish washer tablets, washing up liquid, soap, kitchen towel etc which from our experience from staying at many other properties is not usually the case. Also to have an adequate supply of toilet rolls we have not come across this before. These little extras were appreciated, however the nicest surprise was the cream tea including clotted cream and yes tea bags and milk were supplied! It’s touches like these that do not cost a fortune that simply make you feel welcome and after a long journey, that are appreciated so much more, thank you Philippa and Charlie....

Spent more time in the garden and grounds this time as the dogs really loved the walks and we liked the seclusion.

The property is set in the most wonderful setting. Very safe and peaceful, (apart from the owls!) The only thing that lets it down is the comfort of the two sofas and the chair. They are very low and not at all comfortable. Also the toilet seat in the bathroom kept going of to one side! It's a real shame because everything else is lovely. I would still recomened the property as it is such a lovely house. One more thing is that there are feather cushions and duvets and it did effect my Asthma a little. I would have most definately given 5 stars if it wasn't for the things I have written....

Lovely surroundings and beautiful from the outside with a lovely garden and BBQ area. Unfortunately the interior didn’t live up to expectations. There was paint peeling off the walls and lots of scuff marks. The living/dining area had mismatching furniture and quite smelly and unclean sofa, rug and cushions which meant we didn’t feel comfortable spending time in there. I understand the property is dog friendly but it shouldn’t be an excuse for not keeping the furniture clean. The bed we stayed in also had a stained headboard which was off putting. Overall, we felt it was a lot of money for somewhere which could be a lovely property but unfortunately was lacking care and attention on its interior that is needed in order to make it a nice and comfortable place to stay. ...
