Fab accommodation & all the seasons in 1 week
Loafers Glory Treverva Falmouth Was glorious and lots of loafing, was done 😉 Thank you both for a fabulous week, made extra special with all your little touches, such as fresh flowers, tea tray, table laid, on arrival, milk, drinks, and groceries to get us started, and bathrobes to save us packing. We also enjoyed your CDs as we dined on home-cooked local produce. In August for Falmouth, Tall Ships we had a week of all seasons, glorious, sunshine, torrential rain, storm, Betty, glorious sunshine. We walked to local pubs, the new inn at Mabe, Twice, fab food! including a night walk back around the reservoir, and the Trelowarren. Friday fireworks viewed from PizzaExpress were great. On-board Tall ships was definitely a fab experience (after a 1.5 hour hot and sunny queue). Sad we missed the laser shows and crew parades, which were not as well advertised. Thanks for letting us stay the extra night after the storm. The Sun returned and we had a wonderful day at Swan pool beach. Definitely a gloriously loafing week, hope to stay again in the future.

A rural stay
The accommodation is a conversion in the garden of the main house. Parking is in the shared carport. It is charming and compact in a small hamlet. The A39 is approximately 5km drive through the narrow lanes common in Cornwall.

Splendid hideaway
Very well-equipped and furnished in a small space, without feeling cramped, with a neat secluded garden, and extremely helpful and friendly owners. Ideal for visiting the nearby coast and its many attractions, ranging from Falmouth harbour to the Cornish Seal sanctuary and Trebah gardens. A car is probably essential and a willingness to face narrow Cornish lanes and their drivers.

Heaven in Cornwall
Really quiet beautifully decorated spotlessly clean. Everything u could want. Hosts really lovely people. Even left cream tea, milk, sugar, all cleaning products. Just a bit too far from beaches. Very narrow roads to access property. Best stay we have ever had in Cornwall
