Armando

What a lovely cottage in a fab location!

It sits a 2 min walk from the estuary & a 4 min walk from The Old Quay Inn pub. What a quaint, very traditional pub serving amazing food by lovely friendly staff. Armando had everything we needed, was very clean & very cosy, home from home. The weather was amazing so the decking patio was a great addition. It was very spacious & very comfortable & the owner was always on the end of the phone if needed. I would definitely recommend this property & hope to return very soon.

Armando is a lovely property, located at the head of a ria that provides ever-changing interest as the tide ebbs and flows.

The walk from Devoran to Point (or indeed, run / cycle; local road users are very keyed in to sharing the road) is one of the most beautiful you’re likely to encounter and if you work up a thirst, the Old Quay inn sits at the head of the walk and is a great pub. As for the property itself; super dog-friendly, great outdoor decking space with ample seating (sun trap!) and indoors, beds are comfortable, the lounge comes replete with games and a great TV if you fancy a movie, and the kitchen is fully equipped. There really is nothing wanting. Finally, things can go wrong. What matters is the response when they do. There was an issue with the boiler which had in fact been serviced a couple of days before we arrived. As soon as they became aware, Keith and Linda made sure that an engineer came out and the issue was resolved in no time. So - attentive hosts to boot. All in all, for quality of accommodation, location and because of great hosts; highly recommended.

Lovely stay at a lovely property.

Nice quiet location but easy to get to other areas

A beautiful cottage , very clean and comfortable.

One of the best we have stayed in. It has everything you need. A lovely location by the river with great walks . Regular Bus service to Falmouth and Truro. The only disappointment was that the little pub in the village is closed awaiting new owners. We will definitely stay at Armando again.

Armando is a beautiful house, very comfortable and extremely well stocked with all crockery and cookery necessities.

We particularly were very pleased to see items such as fairy liquid supplied. All too often I’ve had to purchase necessities and carry them home again. The Devoran estuary is stunning, beautiful quiet walks. Thank you

Delightful property.

No complaints at all

We spent a lovely relaxing week at Armando.

The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The owners have thought of everything. Devoran was very peaceful and the Old Quay Inn just 5 mins walk. Kayaking on the Devoran Creek estuary was also great fun.

This Property was lovely in a lovely area, it had everything we needed for us and the dogs.

The welcome gift was a lovely touch and the communication from the owner before arrival was helpful. We had a lovely week and would defiantly book here again. Thank you

Armando is a beautifully maintained holiday home and we enjoyed our stay there very much

A Perfect Stay – Again!

This was our second time staying at Armando and it was just as perfect as the first. It offers every comfort you could want – from the tasteful furnishings to the well-thought-out accessories, everything you might need is right at hand. The location suits us perfectly as keen cyclists, with plenty of nearby trails to explore, and it’s only a short drive to beautiful beaches and great shopping. It truly feels like a home away from home, and we’re already looking forward to our third visit!

Armando is a lovely house in Devron, a beautiful village near Truro.

The house is well equipped to an extremely high standard. It is extremely comfortable with everything that one could need. Have no hesitation in recommending this house for a holiday.

This property was perfect for us.

We enjoyed the convenience of the estuary walks for our dog, the local pub was friendly and quaint. Property is Ideally located to explore the local area & its beautiful coastline. The house itself was simply stunning! Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and very well equipped. Everything in Armando feels high quality. The best holiday home we’ve stayed in.

Our third visit to this beautiful cottage - a firm favourite for it's comfort, facilities and perfect location - thank you.

A lovely house in our favourite part of Cornwall.

Comfortable, very well equipped and beautifully presented. Walks on the doorstep and lots of places to visit and a great pub very close by. Hope to be back soon.

Armando is a comfortable, well equipped holiday home.

The owners have thought of everything and the property was spotlessly clean. Devoran is an ideal location for a Cornish vacation. Also Armando is just short walk to Devoran quay (lovely views) and the local pub! , ,

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in for comfort, facilities and location.

A real home from home. Very dog friendly and the dog bed in the window for our family security consultant was a very welcome addition. The local walks were wonderful and the river views and the sounds of the birds every morning were very relaxing. Really can't praise this place highly enough. If you want somewhere with a peaceful location and a lovely pub but close to the main road for easy access to everywhere then this is the cottage for you.

Amazing place to stay

This was our third stay at Armando, and it was as lovely as ever.

A fabulous base to explore Cornwall, and a beautiful house with every attention to detail. You feel really looked after by the owners, who on this occasion had kindly left a gift of some chocolates and a birthday card for our daughter who had a birthday during the stay, which was a lovely suprise. We will definitely be back again.

Armando is superb cottage and very comfortable for groups up to 6, lovely location with waterside walks and good access around west Cornwall, extremely clean and well furnished.

I can't recomend it enough.

A lovely property,possibly the best- equipped we have ever stayed in.

Even provided lint eye-pads to remove make- up!Two TVs ( although we never did fathom out how to direct the cursor on the main set) , plenty of crockery,cutlery,cookware.My! Our bed was ginormous and so comfortable! Lovely showers/WCs. The poor weather meant it was not possible to enjoy the decking to full potential. Everything was clean . We did not meet the owners but Keith sounded very nice and wrote sympstheticallywhen we had to go home a day early due to a sudden health problem! We would most certainly recommend Armandos to anybody and would stay again. It may be my poor parking skills but I found it complicated trying to parallel park outside the front door without banging into the flowerbed behind!

Our second time at Armando, just as good a s previous.

This was our third stay, and just as wonderful as our first.

The property is very well maintained, very comfortable and furnished to a high standard, it's very much a home from home. There is everything provided there you could ask for and more. The location is very central for visiting all areas of Cornwall, Devoran is a very pretty village and our dog's loved their daily walk down to the creek.We find for us this is the perfect place to stay and hope to be able to stay for many more holidays. Thankyou Keith and Linda

We booked a 2 week stay at "Armando" based on it's location and how good it looked on the Sykes website.

We were so pleased with our choice. "Armando" is set in a lovely, quiet location but only a couple of minutes off the A39. The house is high spec and was really well presented. Easy off road parking with simple entry and exit to the house. We had no problems during our stay but Keith & Linda , the owners, were only a text away in the event of any issues. We also received a very informative email from Keith a few days in advance. Location is second to none. Falmouth and Truro are only around 15 minutes away. Other favourites of ours, Padstow, Fowey, Mevagissey and Looe are all within easy reach. Very dog friendly, with some nice local walks, our Cockerpoo, Barney, found it to be a home from home. We definitely recommend "Armando" and would readily return in the future. We give "Armando" a well deserved 10/10. It was the best holiday rental we have stayed in. Many thanks to Keith and Linda for a great holiday. John & Annette

We enjoyed our two week stay.

The accommodation well thought out. The patio was used a lot of the time due to such good weather, unique small garden type at the rear of the house.

We had a wonderful week in this pretty village, a perfect location for exploring Cornwall.

This upstairs living cottage is very comfortable and clean, had everything we needed during our stay, and the garden terrace was a lovely area to enjoy the unexpected sunshine. The hosts, Keith and Linda, provided a comprehensive and informative arrival email and there were lots of lovely little touches for our dog. We would definitely recommend this property.

we had a wonderful time.

................ it immediately felt like home. super comfortable and clean........... simply perfect. one wet day we all said ......'lets go home and enjoy the house'

We are so happy we chose Armando for our weeks holiday.

It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Located in a lovely village with easy access to various locations. We couldn't have wished for anything better. A most enjoyable stay.

Our 2nd stay at Armando.

This is a very well equipped and extremely comfortable home, there is nothing for us that could improve it. Very much a home from home. We have already booked our next stay. Perfect! Thank you Keith and Linda for sharing your lovely home.

Lovely property, everything you need is supplied, bathrooms are amazing.

Love the layout, very comfy lounge, kitchen has everything you need.

Superb accommodation with absolutely everything you need to enjoy a holiday in Cornwall.

We could not find any faults, and believe me we are fussy !! House fully equipped for self catering, or just relaxing in the lovely family room. We will have no reservations about booking the house again. A quality 5 star accommodation.

Our second visit to Armando and we hope it won’t be the last.

A wonderfully comfortable and well equipped property in a perfect location.

We had a fantastic week in Armando which was a fantastic base.

Armando is spotlessly clean, well maintained and very charming. Devoran Quay is a few minutes walk down the road and the local pub offered a friendly welcome to us all including our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Armando again if we return to the area.

Beautiful, beautiful place to stay and very well equipped.

Easily found off the main road, but a really quiet location. There is a wonderful pub at the end of the road and lovely walks down to the quayside which are great for the dogs. So l would highly recommend this house; you can really see the owners have spent a lot of time renovating and looking after the house. Thank you so much Keith and Linda. We all loved staying here.

Armando is very comfortable, clean and well equiped and suited us perfectly.

The historic village of Devoran is in a great position for exploring the county and is close to a variety of good eating places. The owners gave us comprehensive information about the property's facilities and their welcome gift was much appreciated. If we come back to Cornwall we would certainly like to stay here again.

We did previously book another property which were unable to fufill the booking.

Luckily the property offered some compensation for the inconvenience to allow us to book Armando. Keith and Linda were the perfect hosts providing a lovely clean home in a great location and provided lots of helpful information of where to go and what to see. That along with the birthday card, chocolates and fizz were much appreciated and helped in making my 30th birthday celebrations that bit more special

The property was just as described with plenty of nice touches and very well presented.

Keith and Linda the property owners were very helpful for any queries. The location next to the creek and Old Quay Inn was ideal for our two week stay.

Beautiful property, high standard of furnishing in a lovely location.

Probably one of the best houses we have ever stayed in!

Very well equipped property that is comfortable and very homely.

Great base from which to explore Cornwall.

Armando is one of those rare finds that you would be happy to visit again and again.

Beautifully furnished, clean, lovely location, everything you could ask for. Perfect in everyway. Thankyou Keith and Linda for providing such a special holiday let, you should be proud. And dog friendly, we will return.

A fabulous comfortable little house with great furnishings and super clean.

Dog friendly too, even a dog bed if needed. We were only there for a short visit but would happily have stayed longer.

We have just returned from a week's stay at Armando in Devoran.

The cottage is very spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing break. On this occasion we had brought my mum along so she could visit a childhood friend who resides in Falmouth. She also has early onset Dementia and at first found the topsy-turvy layout a bit confusing but soon got used to it. The two of us loved sitting out on the terrace and listening to the birds. My mum commented on how quiet it was as there wasn't a lot of traffic noise. Our little dog Maisie especially enjoyed the trips to the creek which I have to say is such a beautiful place when the tide is in. Our son joined us for the last five days and he found getting around on public transport was easy with local buses and the train station not too far away. Overall, we all had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely like to return at some point again in the future. Many thanks Neil & Debbie Dawson

Beautiful property which had everything we needed and more!

Loved that there was even a dog bed. Very clean on arrival and very comfy stay. Devoran is a lovely village with some great places to walk the dog. Location is perfect for exploring, nowhere was more that an hours drive away. Will be back one day!

Lovely house comfortable and well equipped Area and situation just perfect

We really enjoyed our stay the property is immaculate and so comfortable and well equipped.

We could happily live there but have to be content with another visit at some time soon. Devoran is a lovely quiet village well placed for visiting the area with great dog walks.

Absolutely perfect.

The comfort, cleanliness and flawless presentation of Armando could not be faulted. Situated in the pretty village of Devoran, an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. Thank you to Linda and Keith for allowing us to experience their beautiful property. We will definitely be back.

Wow, wow and wow.

The pictures do not do Armando justice at all it is truly amazing and we all loved it. The house was really clean when we arrived and Armando has everything you need. The upside down living is genius with the L shaped open plan kitchen dining area and sneaky views to the creak. The old Quay in pub is just a 2 minute walk away serving good pub food and good beer and cider. The Quay just down the road is beautiful, especially at high tide with all the birds. Thank you to Keith and Linda for letting us stay in this beautiful house and I think we have found a new favorite part of Cornwall.

We had a fabulous 2 week stay at Armando in charming Devoran.

The house is extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The owners (Keith and Linda ) have really thought about those special touches that make a good holiday into a great holiday and checking by email to make sure everything’s ok was a nice touch too. As for location, it’s a two minute stroll to the most magical stretch of water, great for paddle boarding and kayaking - you can store them in the garage so no need to deflate the board each time. In the evening you can watch the sun go down and hear the curlews calling … just wonderful! It never got too busy and we stayed in mid August and the weather was scorching! The local pub is a joy too, great food and friendly people. By car, Truro is just a few miles just up the road and Falmouth is just a few miles further in the opposite direction. Easy access to the great beaches, gardens and restaurants. Hope to return next year.

Armando will not disappoint if your looking for beautiful home to explore Cornwall from.

That’s if you can get out of the so comfy bed, peaceful location makes motivation nigh impossible. Wether you choose the kitchen,sun terrace or the lounge to plan your day’s adventure, you probably find yourself still there daydreaming. The host Kieth always on hand any emergencies.. Maybe turn left short walk to the tranquil estuary around 3:00pm watch the tide come in, locals love chat, few are proper characters. Pub the Old Quay Inn just up the hill, staff always warm welcome & the food amazing..Enjoy your holiday at Armando.

A very well equipped and maintained property in a quiet village setting.

It was very pleasant to stroll down to the creek and then eat at the Quay Inn. A good centre for exploring the south of Cornwall or even a day trip to St. Mary's. An excellent holiday choice.

Recommended house for quite relaxing stays, great location for walking, both Falmouth and Truro easy drives.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

The cottage is really lovely and in a quiet location. The cottage has everything you need, the owners have thought of everything. We only stayed for a weekend but we were really sorry to leave but we will definitely be returning.

One of the best properties we have stayed in and we've stayed in lots!

Armando was welcoming, comfortable, spotless and beautifully furnished. It provided everything we needed for a relaxing holiday in a convenient location with easy access to all our favourite Cornish gardens and beaches.

A superb cottage, with absolutely everything you could need.

I would highly recommend a holiday here.

Wonderful property, beautifully decorated and furnished.

Lacked for nothing. Keith and Linda were very attentive - thank you. The location is perfect for a relaxing holiday with flat walks along the waterfront or hillier ones inland if that’s more your thing. Local pub (1/4mile) serves great food and drink. No shops in Devoran itself but there is a Spar in Carnon Downs just over a mile away. <10mins drive to Truro and 20mins to Falmouth if you need more. Would we return to Armando? Definitely.

Armando is a beautiful house so comfortable and the thought and care behind everything really appreciated.

Fabulous location.

Clean, comfortable, amazing beds!!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Armando, it was very well equipped, extremely clean and the décor was really lovely (well done Linda.

) There was plenty of room for all 6 of us adults and the owners, Keith and Linda left a lovely box of chocolates which were enjoyed by everyone! There was plenty parking for 2 cars, our 3rd car was parked at the end of the road by the creek. The Old Quay Inn just around the corner was really quaint with a lovely atmosphere and the creek was lovely to walk along. Armando is also very well situated to access all parts of Cornwall.

This house was the very best one we have stayed in, the owners were amazing, leaving wine for us then, one for us to celebrate our ruby anniversary, the house is five star with top quality china, bedding, towels and white goods ,was also was lovely and warm and heating was only put on one night and it was mid October, the out side space was very well kept and was lovely to sit and have coffee in the sun two very happy customers.

Wonderful 2 weeks at Armando.

Very clean ,well maintained and perfect location.

The house and village was very nice

We really enjoyed our stay at Armando!

The home is beautifully decorated and has all of the comforts of home. There is even a glimpse of Devoran Creek from the kitchen! The local pub is very near and serves nice food in a friendly atmosphere. There's a lot to see and do within a short drive. Would highly recommend this cottage.

Armando cottage was fantastic, in a great location, extremely clean and fully equipped to the highest standard with everything and more than you could ask for.

Would highly recommend.

Beautiful house in a peaceful location.

Close to lots of interesting places to explore. Very well equipped house. Would be happy to return.

This is a great property, well furnished and the owners have thought of everything, even down to detergent for the washing machine.

We would definitely recommend and would love to return. The location is beautiful, a few minutes from the creek which is a lovely walk in the evening then on to the Quay Inn for dinner. It is easy to get to most places and park and ride is the best way to get into most of the towns, especially St Ives and Newquay. The owners kept in touch with us and left a bottle of wine on our arrival. Great holiday, thank you,.

Our stay in Armando was perfect, just what was needed after a manic year.

The cottage it's self is beautiful with not a penny spared from decor to plates and cutlery. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, and when the weather permitted, the decking outside was where we spent most afternoons. We did a little sightseeing, paddle boarding and kayaking but most of our time was spent just relaxing at either the cottage or the local pub. I would definitely recommend staying at armando and we de5be back.

Lovely house in a perfect location

Very clean and modern, and in an ideal location that made it easy to get anywhere.

Also a short walk to the river bank and a green that made it ideal for our dog (Cooper) to stretch his legs! Would recommend.

The quality of the finish, furnishings and decor was a pleasant surprise.

Very comfortable and an ideal location for travelling around Cornwall.

Wonderful property.

Excellent facilities. Spotless condition. Beautiful area. Great pub with delightful staff. Would happily live here, never mind rent it!
