“Firstly the positives.”
We were lucky enough to have glorious weather during our stay at the Meadows which enhanced the magnificent views from the balcony that wrapped round the property. We spent many an hour outside relaxing in the peace and quiet and admiring the creek. The open plan living arrangement inside was ideal. Now the negatives. On arrival we found the property had not been cleaned thoroughly. There was a lot of dust, kitchen sides weren’t clean, and the first three mugs I took out of the cupboard were ...
We were lucky enough to have glorious weather during our stay at the Meadows which enhanced the magnificent views from the balcony that wrapped round the property. We spent many an hour outside relaxing in the peace and quiet and admiring the creek. The open plan living arrangement inside was ideal. Now the negatives. On arrival we found the property had not been cleaned thoroughly. There was a lot of dust, kitchen sides weren’t clean, and the first three mugs I took out of the cupboard were dirty. There were lots of other cleaning issues that hadn’t been done but these are a few examples. For the four star rating it has been given we felt it was very tired and in need of a coat of paint internally and a good thorough clean. We did contact the agent about our concerns as soon as we got there and although apologies were given a cleaner could not attend for 2 days. This wasn’t acceptable as the time given was when we would all be at the property preparing meals etc. (Please dont put this part in the review but I have taken Videos and have text messages from the agent Georgia and I’m more than happy to discuss this further with the owners).
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, Dawn. And thank you again for speaking with me just now. We are sorry the standard of cleaning wasn’t up to expectations and the emergency cleaner couldn’t attend at a suitable time. We’ve spoken with our property managers to ensure this will not happen again. Glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay and the magnificent view! Property Owner

Cottage Summary
The Meadow is a single story waterside cottage located on the bank of Pill Creek - one of our Fal River Cottages.Pill Creek is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has some well known houses built overlooking it.
The Meadow enjoys a famous next door neighbour - Creek Vean - the first house project designed by Richard Rogers and Norman Foster when they were first establishing themselves as a partnership.
Another neighbouring house to gain fame in 2016 is Gillanglaze which was a finalist in the renowned RIBA House of the Year and featured in the television show of the same name.
The Meadow is open plan, contemporary styled, making it the perfect easy-living holiday space.
Set in the picturesque village of Feock, the cottage boasts stunning water views down the garden, over the Creek and out onto the the Fal Estuary which can be enjoyed even more on the decked balcony area which surrounds the house.
The Meadow will particularly appeal to Day Sailors, as there is a private outhaul with the cottage and a nearby slipway into the creek.
Suitable for small boats.
The Meadow is only a few miles from the city of Truro but also offers local, walking distance attractions.
Loe beach is just a fifteen minute walk away where you can find a cafe, as well as a sailing and windsurfing school from Easter to the end of September, offering a full and comprehensive programme of tuition for all water sports along with equipment hire.
The beautiful National Trust gardens of Trelissick are a 20 minute walk away, right next to The King Harry Ferry where you can quickly reach The Roseland Peninsula and enjoy its sandy beaches, beautiful landscape and attractions at St Mawes.
Why the owner loves The Meadow...
"Our family have lived and now holiday in Feock for three generations, so it feels like coming home.
We love the peace, the green, the light, the air and of course wonderful Pill Creek with its shoreline, its boats and mesmerising tranquillity.
We seem to go to the theatre more often in Cornwall than anywhere else and the pantomime has become something of a tradition.
In the summer we love to take our boat up river to The Smugglers Inn or down river to the Pandora Inn.
The grand children love Loe Beach where they have learned to sail and wind surf.
Why go anywhere else for a wonderful family holiday?"

About the location
CARNON DOWNS
Truro 3.5 miles; Falmouth 8 miles.
The lovely Cornish village of Carnon Downs offers a shop, Post Office and pub. 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 Portreath to Devoran 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 Carnon Downs a convenient base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
