“Lovely cottage in a lovely village with ample walks on the doorstep handy for the beach, a very secluded village, a great holiday.”

Helpful holidays have always provided us with the back up we need, we managed to lock ourselves out of the cottage without a coat in January and they were on the case in an instant the caretaker was there to let us in in minutes, a wonderful service. Thank you.

“Had a terrific week weather wise but if it had been much colder we couldn’t have wished for a warmer, more comfortable cottage.”

We were fortunate in late October to be able to make use of the sunny front garden which had great views and was lovely to be able to chat to people going past. Definitely hope to return to Trebyan next year. Fabulous walks to Edgcumbe right from the front door. My puppy loved it running free for hours and I never tired of the amazing views.

“Just returned from a fourth holiday in Trebyan.”

It was lovely to be back in this very comfortable house and friendly village, this time with a new rescue dog who enjoyed all the wonderful walks that I had shared with his predecessor. Visit number five is definitely on the cards for next year.

“This was our third visit to Trebyan, although the last holiday here was in 2010.”

It is our favourite Cornish cottage and we were not disappointed in any way. The cottage was clean, comfortable and the same high standard. I would like to suggest that a few more mugs are provided and some of the plates and mugs were chipped. We had a wonderful holiday and would like to return again in the future.

“This was our second time at Trebyan in two years.”

I was glad to see that further to my comments last year, the outside area had been pruned back showing a hosepipe which proved very useful for washing the sandy dogs. I also noted this year that there was bedding available for the sofa bed, a sensible reduction in ornaments and trinkets and the floors and surfaces were clean and had obviously been well maintained. There was a plentiful supply of cooking utensils and equipment along with more than a good supply of washing up liquid and cleaning materials. The dishwasher salt had run out and providing only 4 dishwashing tablets for a week's worth of dirty crockery for a small family etc seems a little short-sighted. An endless supply of drinking glasses and plates was evident but only 5 mugs in total for coffee/tea and 5 cereal/desert bowls yet again seems very short-sighted and impractical. However, the quilts were incredibly noisy as they seem to comprise a plastic/crinkly content and so rustled at every tiny movement - that did not allow for restful sleep. The mattress covers had seen better days as had the mattresses, which were not the comfiest in the world. Finally the blinds were irritating and need proper re-threading. It was almost impossible to drop them down without the thread tangling and the pulling up was very much a see-saw approach. I think the most disappointing thing about the cosmetic aspect of Trebyan is the paintwork on the windows. Paint had peeled off in most places, it just looked unkempt and almost un-cared for compared to the other houses around. The back of the house by the bins had an enormous amount of clutter and rubbish (broken timber/pipes etc) which could be seen and the drain just outside smelled if you had the back window in the smaller bedroom open. This is a pity as the house itself has so much to offer is brilliant for dogs and children and we really enjoyed using the spacious kitchen/ dining area and cosy character driven lounge. Essentially at the back of my and my sister's minds were : How would we like people to rate our houses and meet guests' expectations if we rented them out and, to us, the above were important and perhaps need addressing to some degree.

“A great place to relax and get away from a busy and hectic life.”

“The cottage was lovely and ideally situated within the village.”

Easy access to the coastal paths and the beach plus all the amenities the village offered. It was very spacious and had everything we needed although the stair gates were a bit cumbersome, would have been better if they could open outwards as well as inwards. You could tell that it had been a lovely home before a rental. On the downside, it was lacking a bit of TLC - the carpets on the stairs are really dirty and the garden at the front is terribly overgrown with large weeds (not like the picture on the website). It was difficult to have space for more than two chairs! Nothing that could not be rectified. Overall, we had a lovely stay and a fantastic week of sunshine. We would definitely consider staying again.

“Excellent cottage, fantastic location.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, contained everything you could possibly need. I would recommend this holiday. We will visit again.
Mrs Whicher May 2018

“This is our 3rd stay at this beautiful little cottage.”

Will be back again
Mr Ziebland March 2018

“We all really liked our first time at Trebyan.”

The cottage was really comfortable and homely. It is also well located to walk the dogs on the paths towards Mount Edgcumbe and to pick up the sun in the front garden for most of the day. We weren't as lucky with the weather as in previous years so we made good use of the open fire and wood burners. The owner (Tony) was helpful and responsive when we needed to contact him. I am sure we will stay again.
