Clean and tidy property with all needs catered for. Very quiet and peaceful.
Mrs Topham April 2022
Beautiful views and lovely woodland walk straight from the cottage. Perfect for a holiday with dogs.
Mrs Anderson April 2022
Snuggledown is a cosy, but light-filled country retreat. It is within reach of the sea as well. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The host, Verna, was very welcoming and providing us with milk, tea and coffee, as well as wine and biscuits for our arrival was much appreciated.
Miss Gray February 2022
Lovely cottage, with wonderful views in a wonderful setting and with a truly wonderful host.
Miss Pallett October 2021
We loved our time at snuggledown! We got engaged during our stay and the owner gave us some wine which was lovely. The sofas were super comfy which is great after a long day. The drive to the cottage itsself is very tight but we didn't mind. Would recommend snuggledown to others.

Mrs Metcalfe October 2021
As on our previous visit we were so well looked after by Verna (Roberts) and really felt at home. It is the perfect location for real peace and quiet (not to mention clear night sky) and we felt very relaxed after our stay. An added bonus for us is that it is close to old haunts as my parents lived and are buried in the nearby village of Luxulyan, so we know the area really well, and still have other family in the area.
Mrs Chapman October 2021
Good location for exploring that area of Cornwall.
Mrs Smith September 2021
This is a beautiful cottage, perfect for those who just want to switch off and enjoy the countryside and peace and quiet. At the same time it also central to many beautiful places you can visit if you wish. Lovely walks without needing to go in the car at all, even heard owls at night! We will definitely be back.
Mrs Dover-Brown September 2021
We spent a week at Snuggledown for our honeymoon and loved it. A bottle of wine & lovely biscuits were waiting for us, however once Verna ( the owner) knew we were newleyweds she popped in with another bottle of Prosecco!!! Snuggledown is very appropriately named !! Incredibly peaceful, very clean, beautiful views over the valley and the bed was so comfortable we have returned home and ordered a new mattress!!! Thank you Verna for making our honeymoon memorable in many ways. Looking to book with family for next year. We thoroughly recommend Snuggledown ?? xx
Mrs Walker September 2021
I can highly recommend this cottage, it is very comfy, spacious but cosy at the same time. It is perfectly located for a variety of attractions and is also near to the coast. What more could you want.
Mr Clayton August 2021
Cottage is comfortable and the owner (Verna) is very friendly. The garden is well kept & could be shared with customers of the owner’s larger cottage behind Snuggledown. Although, areas are enclosed from the fields, there is a gate to the owners’ that is mainly open that dogs can get into the lane/roads. Verna offered to close it when our dog escaped but all visitors (gardeners etc) leave it open: it was only closed once our stay so we used a long line lead to keep our dog safe.
The car parking is in the garden for both rental properties.
We hadn’t fully understood that the route to the cottage would be such a difficult drive along high hedgerow, one car width roads. Both sides of our car was subjected to grazing. Verna did tell us about a ‘slightly’ wider road in & out to the cottage on arrival. The isolation of the cottage has advantages of peacefulness but DO take main provisions for arrival as although the cottage had tea, coffee, biscuits & bottle of wine…We had overlooked milk so had to head back through the tight lane/road to find a shop in Blazey. Not much there but the garage had milk! Ask Verna for secateurs if you take the gate through to the woods as it’s very overgrown & difficult to access the wonderful aqua duct - woods via this stretch. We had great weather so managed to dry washing on the outside line but with only one bottom bed sheet & one set of towels supplied, it could be difficult to launder & be in use in one day, in poor weather. However, I’m sure Verna , who lives in the same grounds as Snuggledown, would be able to give you further bedding if you ask. There is a brush & hoover supplied but nothing to clean/wash the floor. If you take a dog, you’ll have to ensure paws are washed & dried outside. There is an odd/random cream sofa placed in the corner of the room where the photos show the dining table. We assume the room furniture has been updated as the grey sofa & chair are not shown in the photos. Wardrobe space is in the door entrance area opposite the bathroom: no hanging space in the bedroom. We enjoyed our week at the cottage but the drive to & from it to explore the area was off- putting. Highly recommend the woodland walk by the aqua duct: turn left from snuggledown and follow the road to the car park and walk left or access via the overgrown lane at the side of the cottage via a gate.
Mr Ashman August 2021
If you are precious about your car, and it is quite large, the mile long drive down to the cottage is exceedingly narrow and rubbed down both sides of our car. It didn’t damage it but sounded like might.
Miss Vizard July 2021
Verna was a fabulous host - very kind and warm and welcoming. The house was fabulous and had everything we needed and more!! Brilliant location - couldn't have been a more perfect place to stay!!
Mrs Stevens July 2021
We loved our time at Snuggledown. Verna was lovely and welcoming. It was perfect for us. Only one suggestion in that a couple of sun loungers would have been a lot more comfortable for sitting out in the courtyard. After a while the plastic chairs were just too uncomfortable.
Mrs Holland June 2021
A very quiet peaceful rural location, but accessible to many interesting Cornish towns and places of interest. A cosy and comfortable place to stay.
Mrs Marlow May 2021
We had an excellent week at Snuggledown, with a warm welcome from Verna. The cottage is very conveniently located for visiting Fowey, the Eden Project, Lanhydrock etc. So many great walks in the area, including the coastal path and through the woods to the Luxulyan Valley - an ideal location for walkers.
Mrs Metcalfe May 2021
This is the perfect cottage in which to unwind and be totally comfortable, away from the crowds, but near our favourite places if we wanted to go beyond local walks. It is a really special place, in a beautiful, unspoilt and little known area. Verna is an exceptional owner, with nothing too much trouble, and we hope to return before too long.
Mrs Cottam April 2021
A lovely cottage in super quiet peaceful surroundings. Great for local walks. Very well furnished and adapted. Light and airy ambience. Great to sit outside in garden. Owner very helpful.
Mrs Britten October 2020
A great 'away from it all' location, peaceful and relaxing, yet not far from lovely beaches and small towns.
Mrs Walker September 2020
This is a delightful cottage which is comfortable to stay in and it is perfectly situated for all a holidaymaker's needs.
Mrs Vyner September 2020
We had a lovely week in this comfortable, well equipped cottage. It was great to come back to after a day out and sit and enjoy the view.

Ms Wilson May 2019
A big thank you to Verna and Kay for a lovely peaceful break in your beautiful cottage. The cream tea on arrival was yummy and the homemade jam just right Perfect location for visiting Fowey (The Ship Inn excellent food and friendly atmosphere) The Eden project Lost gardens of Heligan Charlestown and Mevagissey The Luxulyan Valley walk from the cottage is lovely and when you find the 100ft viaduct awesome Frans kitchen ( small bakery in Lostwithiel) has the best pasties ever Will definitely be coming back
Ms Baker April 2019
Sniggledown is a wonderful holiday home that has the feel of a cottage yet the natural light and space of a modern apartment. Those enjoying woodland walks are in for a real treat as you can set off from the cottage without jumping into the car. In the spring, the blankets of bluebells are truly stunning. The only interruption at Snuggledown is from a small herd of very nosey bullocks who line up at the garden fence waiting to be entertained.
Ms Williams March 2019
A superb holiday cottage in a lovely setting, with lovely , helpful owners .
Ms Williams February 2019
The owner and her daughter are the loveliest of people and made myself and my dogs very welcome.
The most exquisite home baked scones, with home made blackcurrant preserve awaited , along with beautiful flowers everywhere.
Area convenient for so many places , whether moors or beaches and some lovely ancient towns are nearby.
I cannot rate Snugledown and the owners highly enough.

The cottage was clean, very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Mrs Coles November 2014
We had a wonderful holiday - we have been to Trethevey twice before, both times to the big cottage,with family, this time we were on our own with the dogs. Snuggledown is an extremely comfortable cottage with a wonderfully peaceful, almost serene atmosphere, just perfect to unwind and re-charge your batteries. We had some awful weather, very windy with rain coming down in sheets, but the cottage stayed warm and we felt very cosy and relaxed. Thanks to Verna and Kay for making this little slice of heaven available to us.
Mr Irving October 2014
Would definitely visit again, owners are lovely and brilliant location for a dog as woodland walks right on doorstep and garden is lovely too.
Mr Walls September 2014
Excellent location for any area in the county and for Plymouth, or if it is a quiet time for relaxation you could not pick a better spot with beautiful views and surroundings.
Mr Gorman August 2014
A lovely cottage, very comfortable and wonderfully located near the Luxulyan valley. A very quite location - well away from crowds but not too far to drive to places of interest of which there are many e.g. Fowey, Lanhydrock, Lost Gardens etc. Owner very helpful indeed. Local pub very friendly and serves good pub food. We had a super stay. Many thanks!
Mr Rutter July 2014
Good central location for exploring Cornwall. The cottage is light and airy with great views of the countryside beyond the garden. Owner is welcoming and very helpful. Single track road for about a mile to the cottage, but don't be put off - the peace and tranquility are worth it.
Mrs Thompson June 2014
Snuggledown is great for peace and quiet, yet, although tucked away, it is close enough to all the numerous attractions the area has to offer. I will definately recommend it to others.
Mrs Gibbs March 2014
