    “Outside bins were full to overflowing.”

    These were emptied when the issue was raised. Easy chairs were a little low for our preference. Comfortable beds.

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Pump Cottage which is much appreciated. Apologies for not replying sooner but I have been away and did not receive notification of your review. We apologise wholeheartedly for your arrival to find the two wheelie bins in the garden overflowing. That is not a good start to any holiday and thank you for taking the time to raise the matter with Sykes so it could be resolved. It was due to an oversight in communication with our refuse collection company and we have changed our procedures now to ensure it never happens again. We are sorry that our easy chairs were not ideal for you and glad you found the beds comfortable. We hope that on balance you had an enjoyable stay at Pump Cottage Property Owner

About the location

CARNON DOWNS

Truro 3.5 miles; Falmouth 8 miles.

The lovely Cornish village of Carnon Downs offers a Spar shop with post office and in house butchers.  Signposted in the village is the local garden centre and café. Not too far away is the village of Portreath with its sandy beach, whilst the city of Truro and the popular town of Falmouth are within easy reach by car as is the north and south coastline with its sandy beaches, ideal for those wishing to surf or walk the coastpath. Fans of classic cars will enjoy a visit to Perranwell Station which gives you the opportunity to hire a Morgan car for the day. Also nearby in the Bissoe Valley is Bissoe Bike Hire where you can hire a bike and enjoy the sights of the old mining works and beautiful wooded valleys as you cycle coast to coast from Devoran to Portreath or just enjoy a snack in the café. Cornwall’s only city, Truro has a magnificent cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall, which is a theatre and concert venue, as well as a number of shops, pubs and restaurants. In Falmouth you will find a natural harbour - the third largest in the world. Here you will find boat trips up the Carrick Roads, safe beaches, the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle, which was built by Henry VIII and is the town’s most popular attraction. For garden lovers, there is not only The Lost Gardens of Heligan, but Trelissick, Trebah and Glendurgan, all of which are nearby. A short trip across the King Harry Ferry will take you to the beautiful Roseland Peninsular which is well worth a visit. With the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Land’s End within driving distance makes Devoran is a great base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
