“The Meadow is a fantastic hidden treasure.”

The location is superb I could barely believe my eyes. The accommodation is roomy and comfortable. The decking is just a brilliant place to sit and watch the comings and goings on the creek. The access down to the creek edge is a bit haphazard but worth the effort. We would love to stay there again in the future, as there is so much to do in the surrounding area as well as further a field. Would highly recommend this property we had a great time,thanks

Thank you so much for your kind words Colin! We're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful stay and that you enjoyed the view over the creek, it’s one of our favourite features too. We'd love to welcome you back anytime. Property Owner
Dawn April 2025

“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 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).

- Dawn, April 2025

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
Wendy April 2025

“Great property and perfect for a family of four with two dogs.”

Having access to the water to paddleboard from the garden was fab! We will stay here again. Only suggestion we have is to fix the fan in the main bathroom as it’s not removing steam so whole bathroom is quite damp. We opened the window to help but suspect it’s causing damage.

- Wendy, April 2025

Thank you for your lovely review Wendy. We’d love to welcome you back at anytime! Property Owner
Royston March 2025

“We have spent 2 weeks in this lovely comfortable property with its amazing views over Pill Creek.”

The cottage was very well equipped with everything needed, it was warm and very clean. The zipped beds were very comfy and BIG. The garden is on the steep side but it was good excercise for both us and our dogs first thing in the morning and there are plenty of walks nearby. The location is ideal for visiting lots of different places all over Cornwall. We have hired many properties in Cornwall over the years and this one ranks high on our list, we enjoyed it that much that we have booked to come again next March! It was Lynne's 70th birthday while here which added to the occasion and made it a bit special. Looking forward to our next stay. Keith and Lynne

- Royston, March 2025

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and love The Meadow as much as we do. We look forward to having you back next year (And Happy Birthday to Lynne)! Property Owner
Karen March 2025

“This is the third time we have been to the Meadow and it was lovely as always,my mum joined us this time and commented on how beautiful and peaceful the house is.”

She said she had never slept so well as she did there and as always my husband, the dogs and myself enjoyed all the walking we were able to do conveniently from the house. We are sorry that the outside bin was full when we left but it wasn’t emptied on Friday. As our son and family are based at Culdrose for the next two years I’m sure we will be back to stay very soon as we enjoy staying at the Meadow so much.Thank you again.

- Karen, March 2025

Thank you so much for your feedback - we glad you love the Meadow and have come back multiple times. We are sorry about the bins - we contacted the collection company, who had made an administrative error so please be rest assured it was dealt with promptly and won’t happen again! We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
Gill September 2024

“The location of The Meadow is magical and brings back memories of wonderful times.”

The Meadow property is perfect.

- Gill, September 2024
Sharon September 2024

“Everything was lovely thank you, and we had an amazing sunny and warm week in September to enjoy the balcony and the beaches.”

Highly recommend a visit to nearby Trelissick for the gardens, the free walk over the fields, and the views.

- Sharon, September 2024
Catherine July 2024

“We have stayed at The Meadows on numerous occasions and love the locality - peaceful, fabulous views, creek access for paddle boarding, walks and play (when the tide's out!”

). The property is well equipped overall although we would love a couple of loungers on the deck for those days and evenings when a good book and G and T could be enjoyed in comfort. The ensuite bathroom would benefit from a couple of shelves for placing toiletries on - the small window sill isn't really appropriate! Storage in all the bedrooms is also a little tight - some drawers would be so useful. In the kitchen, oven trays for frozen chips etc. would also be appreciated. A great property for families and adult parties alike - we will be returning.

- Catherine, July 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and your helpful comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you’ll be returning. We have purchased new oven trays and a shower storage for the en-suite bathroom on your advice - thank you! We look forward to welcoming you back soon Property Owner
Sharon July 2024

“Beautiful views and position!”

The house was very clean, well equipped, comfortable and so peaceful! We really enjoyed our time there.

- Sharon, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you had a good time and hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner
Kevin March 2024

“Styish bungalow, prime location with lovely views over the creek.”

Furnished to a nice standard with thoughtful additions like extra thick large bath sheets and handy little utility packs with bin liners, dishwaster tablets etc.

- Kevin, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you had a good time and hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner
Kathryn February 2024

“We have just returned from our third visit to The Meadow and as always had a lovely week.”

However there are a few things I need to mention. The shower in the en-suite bedroom is not working very well at all. There was dirty washing left in this room from a previous guest. The heating was not on when we arrived which in February was needed as the place felt very cold. The thermostat was set at 10c .I know the company taking care of the property has recently changed but the contact number hadn’t been amended in the cottage or on our booking confirmation. I wouldn’t want any of these things to stop people booking The Meadow as it is a wonderful place for a quiet week away.

- Kathryn, February 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the issues you faced during your stay - taking your experiences into account, we have subsequently moved away from the property management company who were looking after the property. We hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner
Julie December 2023

“We had such a lovely time at The Meadow.”

It was very well equipped, clean and warm and the beds were very comfortable. Listening to the owls in the evening was a joy for us ‘townies’ and it was so nice to take the dog for a walk around the creek when the tide went out. We will be returning.

- Julie, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it’s great to hear how other people love the Meadow too! We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
Erica November 2023

“Beautifully situated overlooking the creek, very peaceful too.”

We had our dog with us - the garden is not secure so if you're taking a pooch might need supervising. The Meadows is quite comfortable and very well equipped. We did find the en suite bedroom a bit dark and small for a kingsize bed.

- Erica, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback - we too love the peacefulness of the cottage. We hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner
Susan September 2023

“We loved the house and found it to be clean and comfortable with fantastic views.”

The new, large TV was a definite bonus! We'll be back!

- Susan, September 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner
Christopher August 2023

“Very disappointed with en-suite.”

Expected it to be with main bedroom but with bedroom 3, smallest one (large single?) and the one without a view. Electric shower more of a drizzle and difficult to set temperature so potentially dangerous when suddenly becoming very hot. Door opened wrong side, by shower unit and onto radiator and WC. Nowhere for toiletries. Cistern overflowing into pan. Cloakroom basin so not useful in en-suite. Fanlight window handle extremely stiff. Dreadful toilet rolls and only two provided for six people. Cistern flush button in toilet could stick causing continuous flow of water into pan. Fridge missing two shelves and no bar on bottom door shelf so couldn’t store milk there. Worktop damaged. Furniture cheap and cheerful. No apparent way of receiving normal (BBC, ITV, C4) TV, only apps. Some rust on patio furniture so wary of clothing stains/damage. Shortage of drinks glasses (none for g&t for example or for soft drinks) and yet copious amounts of crockery and cutlery. Externally property tired. Cracks in walls and patching and repainting required as well as good clean of soffits etc. Entrance to driveway needs to be widened by a metre. Dustbin too small for six people’s waste - on arrival already half full from previous guests and two-thirds full on departure. Everything goes in; no separation of recyclables. Wi-fi connection good but asked not to download large amounts of data (?) so possibly not good for children - or certain types of working from “home”! Mobile signal (EE) acceptable. Also, threatening a £50 per hour charge for late departures raised a laugh; we were gone by 10. Redeeming features? View and peace. Good location outside of school holidays. All in all, someone paying c. £2,500 for a week will probably have more comfort at home and wouldn’t expect to go down market for that amount of money. Well over-priced. Can’t do much about the en-suite but definite room for improvement in comfort and welcome.

- Christopher, August 2023

Thank you for your detailed feedback on our self-catering cottage. We appreciate constructive feedback, although sadly cannot change the layout of the property. We endeavour to respond to all reviews and hence there are a couple of your points that we would like to address. The en-suite shower is electric so although it is not the most powerful shower in the world, you can control the temperature like any other one. The bin in the kitchen is of course always emptied between guests so we assume your comment refers to the wheelie bin outside - this is collected by a company every Friday, a collection day we have no say in. We are sorry that bin bags from a previous guest in the wheelie bin was below standard for you, it’s something that is fairly common place in holiday cottages given the inability to dictate collection days. Similarly, late departure fees are standard so we can have the property ready for our next guests. Not asking you to download large amounts of data is a kind request and one we rarely (if ever) have a problem with, but we are glad you found the mobile phone signal satisfactory. All in all, we are sorry if you felt our family cottage was not up to your standards and we hope you find more comfort elsewhere. Property Owner
Kevin July 2023

“I wont mention the good, as this is what is required and paid for.”

Negative points, Vodafone signal none existent in the property, not mentioned in the booking website, a booster should be installed, TV too small for a large room and 6 people, no cushions for the terrace furniture, would you sit all day on a metal chair?, freezer tiny insufficient for 6 people, external light to front elevation not working, two cushions for 2 sofas for 6 people insufficient, 2 small table lamps for a large room insufficient, refuse disposal provision insufficient for 6 people, name of broadband not listed in book, these are all comfort items, which should be addressed for a property of over £2k for a week! penny pinching comes to mind.

- Kevin, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you felt some of the comfort items were not up to the standard you would expect, but appreciate the positive scoring you gave the other aspects of the property. We have noted your point on the TV and have ordered a larger one to arrive in the next two weeks. The light outside is motion activated and only works in the dark, but we will check the bulb is working. We are unsure about your point on the refuse disposal. Bin bags are supplied, there is a large kitchen bin and an outside wheelie bin. Property Owner
John June 2023

“All was very good and the location wonderful.”

It would have been nice to have a lerger screen TV to make it a little easier to see from the very comfortable sofas. The kitchen knives are getting a little dull. All these are nits, we had a lovely stay.

- John, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We have ordered a larger TV and I will be personally sharpening the knives when I visit at the end of July. Hopefully we can welcome you back soon! Property Owner
Dagmar May 2023

“Our stay at The Meadow was wonderful.”

Of the beaten track yet very accessible to the A 39 to go of on adventures in Cornwall. A lovely walk at low tide to Loe Beach with a wonderful cafe. The view is breath taking and we sat out in the evening watching the creek. The dogs enjoyed themselves on the enclosed decking. We played with them in the garden but this is steep. The kitchen gives you everything you need to cook a quick meal at any time. One problem : the tinopener was not working and caused a bit of problem.The bungalow is wonderful and comfortable. We'll hopefully return.

- Dagmar, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We have replaced the tin opener and hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

“LOVELY HOUSE AND LOCATION”

- Anne, April 2023

Thank you! We love it too. Hopefully we can welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Gillian March 2023

“Superb accommodation with the best stocked kitchen I have found in a holiday home.”

Beds were very comfortable and the view of the Creek is wonderful.

- Gillian, March 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback - we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and can never get enough of that view ! Property Owner
Helen March 2023

“Lovely peaceful and scenic location”

- Helen, March 2023

Thank you for your great review - we just love getting down to the meadow when we can! Property Owner
Elaine December 2022

“Fantastic property with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay.”

Location is fabulous to explore both coasts and The Helford. Will be back!!

- Elaine, December 2022

We are so glad you had such a fantastic stay and loved the cottage as much as we do! Thank you for the feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back soon Property Owner
Keith October 2022

“Had a lovely week at The Meadow.”

The house sits beautifully with lovely views. It was fairly clean but the bath still had a rim of scum around it and the fridge/freezer could do with a good clean. The bed wasn't that comfortable, rather like sleeping in a hammock. But apart from that we did enjoy our stay and would recommend the house.

- Keith, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Meadow and appreciate you recommending our bungalow. I am sorry that you had a couple of problems with cleanliness, this is most unusual for us. I have fed this back to our housekeeper. Property Owner
Angela August 2022

“We had a fantastic holiday last week and really loved The Meadow.”

The views were great and would be even better if some of the trees and hedges could be cut back a bit more. The bottom metal steps are pretty rusted, especially at the bottom, so these may need replacing. We will be back!

- Angela, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback we are so glad you enjoyed the Meadow We have a long running battle with Cornwall council for us to be allowed to properly manage the trees! Property Owner
Catherine August 2022

“Another great stay at The Meadow.”

The property was clean and tidy with a couple of nice touches such as shampoo and shower gel samples. Outside, the condition of the building is a little tired and would benefit from a bit of paint. The view is always a delight but would appreciate some comfier chairs/loungers to allow us to sit and admire the surroundings. The patio furniture is a little dated and not the comfiest! A good holiday cottage convenient for trips all around Cornwall.

- Catherine, August 2022
Tracy June 2022

“Absolutely fantastic place to stay.”

A great property to just relax or to use as a base for visiting. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. We were a party with an age range from late 80’s to mid 20’s and everyone found it the perfect place. No one wanted to leave and we would love to return.

- Tracy, June 2022
Barry May 2022

“Lovely house, comfortable and wonderful views, perfect for a very relaxing break.”

House fully equipped with all modern conveniences. If I really had to find fault, the washing line could be more stable …..! But 9.5 out of 10 from us. We will return.

- Barry, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed staying at the Meadow. We have arranged for a replacement washing line ! Property Owner
Peter April 2022

“We have just got back from a very comfortable week at The Meadow.”

Both of us plus our two dogs enjoyed exploring the Fal Estuary and Roseland Peninsula on many pleasant walks that are easily accessible due to the location of the house. Trellisik Gardens are very close by,well worth the walk up the hill ! It was great at the end of the day to relax in the comfortable sitting area or on the deck (a lovely sun trap). We found the house well equipped and everything was clean and well arranged when we arrived. We appreciated the peace and quiet of the village but be prepared to travel 5 - 10 mins in the car for any provisions, we would love to return soon.

- Peter, April 2022
Jan February 2022

“The house is beautiful as are the views from the house and the surrounding countryside.”

The house is modern, spacious and comfortable. We loved our stay and loved the convenience for access to Truro and Falmouth it is in a great location. Unfortunately the property was not wheelchair accessible due to the steps at the front door and from the balcony. However, with photos of the steps and measurements, people can decide for themselves whether the steps are manageable. Luckily, I had my two portable ramps with me and used them. The property could easily be made wheelchair accessible by making the front door steps into a ramp or by buying a portable ramp for it

- Jan, February 2022
Chris February 2022

“A few minor maintenance things like blown light bulbs and slightly tired paintwork and kitchen trims, but really nothing to impact the stay.”

Excellent location, beautiful and peaceful, great access to the creek via the steps. Really a special place.

- Chris, February 2022
Helen September 2021

“Lounge furnishings could do with updating and clearer instructions on how to use dryer part of washing machine.”

Other than that an occasional vacuum under bed wouldn't go amiss.But overall very satisfied.

- Helen, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday. We have bought new sofas and rugs for the living area, but are awaiting their delivery. We will make sure the housekeeping team are aware and act on the issue of the under bed areas. Property Owner
Judi September 2021

“We loved this creek side home and had a wonderful time.”

The linens were great and the bed comfortable. It was spoilt however by the standard of cleaning which was superficial at best. We left the kitchen cleaner than we found it. Would come back though

- Judi, September 2021

Thank you we are pleased that you had a wonderful time and that you want to come back. We are however very sorry about your issue with the cleanliness;this feedback is helpful and we have addressed it with the house keeping team. Property Owner
Catherine August 2021

“House was clean and tidy and we had a lovely stay.”

Some furniture is looking a little tired e.g. rug in lounge area looks a little stained and the settees are not the most comfortable. Perhaps a 4 slice toaster would be more suitable for a property for 6 people, and trays for the oven for the usual frozen chips etc would be beneficial - we could only find one deep tray to use. We have stayed a few times at The Meadow and its location is hard to beat and have rebooked for next year despite quite an increase in the rental cost.

- Catherine, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback and continued visits. A new rug, additional oven trays and new sofas have been purchased. We very much hope this will make your make stay more comfortable. Property Owner
Gary May 2021

“There were some plates & pans which hadn't been washed properly and the oven & refridgerator hadn't been cleaned properly.”

The shower in the en-suite had 3 settings which should have been different but in fact did exactly the same thing - the water just came out at a dribble.... Apart from that, lovely as usual!

- Gary, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback and continued visits. The shower in the en-suite has now been replaced, which will also greatly improve the water flow. In addition we are sorry you had an issue with the utensils. This is helpful to know so we can feed this back to the housekeeping team. Property Owner
Paula April 2021

“Great view from bedroom and living room.”

Kitchen well equipped Parish walking trails in a pack - these were really helpful for someone like me who didn't know the area well.

- Paula, April 2021
George October 2020

“The Meadow was absolutely fantastic, that good that we have booked again for next year.”

The spot is peaceful and quiet but you can easily get to anywhere as the roads around are not rammed with traffic. The accommodation was superb with loads of cooking stuff, bedding and towels, plenty of hot water and heating if required. We cannot wait to go back next year, highly recommended.

- George, October 2020
Nigel October 2020

“Brilliant location, with stunning views.”

Comprehensively equipped. High standard of fixtures and fittings. The only downside were the settees. One was very unsupportive and soft, the other one was a sofa bed. Uncomfortable after sitting on it for a short period of time. Not sure why there would be a sofa bed to sit on, when there are 3 King size bedrooms.

- Nigel, October 2020
D September 2020

“We found The Meadow to be an idyllic property for a peaceful holiday.”

Very comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean, and in a beautiful setting.

- D, September 2020
Catherine July 2020

“We returned for our third stay at the Meadow and, as usual, thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”

The position of the house is fabulous and we never tire of the view and spent quite a lot of time paddle boarding or walking by the creek at low tide! Everything in the house met our needs although a four slice toaster would suit a family of six rather than the rather slow two slicer! Also, oven trays for cooking frozen foods. The information folder in the house stated that bin and waste collection was Friday, but it appears to be Thursday, so this information may need altering. Booked already for next year - any chance of a guarantee of another two weeks of sunshine?!!

- Catherine, July 2020

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Thank you for your useful feedback which we will take into account. However I would just like to reassure guests that we arrange for private rubbish collection which IS on a Friday. I think it may be the council one that is on a Thursday. Property Owner
Stephanie August 2019

“The views from this property are amazing.”

- Stephanie, August 2019
Sheila August 2019

“Beautiful location, very quiet and relaxing.”

Disappointed in the huge number of emails that Sykes send out generally, which are unrelated to the holiday booked. Far too many promotional emails sent I feel.

- Sheila, August 2019
Michelle June 2019

“The Meadow was amazing, well equipped and extremely comfortable with views to rival anything the continent has to offer.”

15 days of sunshine with no rain for us and our German guests made for a fabulous holiday. Hayley and Mark (caretakers of the property) were on hand to deal with any issues or concerns and they ensured our bed linen was changed halfway through our stay. We were sad to leave.

- Michelle, June 2019
Gary April 2019

“It was a wonderful relaxing and peaceful location with fantastic views from inside and outside the bungalow.”

Very well equipped and furnished. One very small thing to mention - the Sykes website or the details that we viewed said that dogs were not allowed on the furniture or on the beds (both of which are expected and totally fine) - what wasn't made clear was that our dog was not allowed past the door separating the open plan area and the bedroom area. As he always sleeps on a bedroom floor at home this proved a little challenging! But he was fine tucked up in his travel bed in the open plan area once he had got over his anxiety over the first night......... I hope we get the chance to stay at the Meadow again.

- Gary, April 2019
Rosalyn January 2019

“FANTASTIC”

- Rosalyn, January 2019
Sheila December 2018

“A lot of follow up emails and promo material.”

Discount vouchers sent but if you book again two days before promo/loyalty voucher is sent to you, Sykes will not retrospectively honour that discount. Disappointing!

- Sheila, December 2018
Steven October 2018

“We had a lovely stay, but feel that the mattresses in the rooms need attention as they felt worn out.”

Equally the sofa in the lounge area was a little uncomfortable for the same reason. Apart from that the cottage was beautiful and the position was perfect, with the steps down to the creek. We enjoyed our stay and even though we didn't sleep very well, would love to stay there again.

- Steven, October 2018

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear you found the bed and sofa uncomfortable. This is down to personal preference, they are relatively new and we have not had any further complaints. Thanks Again for your feedback, Kind Regards. Property Owner
Jane August 2018

“We all loved the space and appreciated the high level of thought that had obviously gone into making our stay very special and comfortable.”

So many touches like soft duvets and towels, good quality dishwasher and washing machine and good games and books to share. Many thanks for a brilliant stay and a wonderful chance to get to know our new granddaughter .

- Jane, August 2018
Susanne August 2018

“Der Urlaub war sehr schön.”

Das Cottage war sehr sauber und sehr gut eingerichtet. Es hat allen sehr gut gefallen.

- Susanne, August 2018
Catherine July 2018

“We had a great time staying at The Meadow.”

The location is fabulous and the children loved playing in the garden. The house is well planned for both adults and children and allows everyone to be together whether cooking, playing, eating or generally sharing time together. We did encounter a few small issues that could increase the "fabulousness" of the house ( we left a note of these for the people servicing the house): * The kettle needs replacing - it leaks and on occasions switched itself on and off. * Storage in the bedrooms is a little tight - there are no chests of drawers in any of the rooms for your "smalls" and other clothing items. * The freezer did not freeze very well - mini milk ice lollies became mini milk drinks! These are only small niggles, though, and we hope to be back again next year.

- Catherine, July 2018

Thank you for you feedback - the Meadow now has a new kettle and replacement fridge freezer - we hope you enjoy your ice lollies next year! Property Owner
Helen July 2018

“Beautiful view and well equipped house.”

The broken kitchen bin was replaced within 24 hours - thank you! There is nothing to complain about really apart from the plastic flowers.

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.
