Trelawns

Trelawns is a spacious house and ideal for our family group.

Just a short walk to the beach it’s a perfect location. It was fairly clean but probably needs an occasional really good clean. For instance we found cooked pasta down the side of one of the living room armchairs. The kitchen is well equipped but the fridge freezer needs replacing. The freezer drawers didn’t fit and the fridge wasn’t cold enough despite being on max so some of our food spoiled. We’d have liked some pads on the dining room chair legs because the noisy scraping got really annoying but that’s a personal thing! The beds were really comfy. Jaynie, the property manager was very responsive and helpful. We really appreciated her support. The WiFi is patchy and could really do with a booster. Ideally we’d have liked a few cleaning products to keep on top of things. Overall it was brilliant but we won’t be back due to the £1000 hike in price for the same week next year. Hope Jaynie gets a pay rise!

Loved it, such a great house which is well kept and exactly as it looks in the pictures.

It has views across the bay and is literally a 3-4min walk to the beach.

Jaynie (property manager) was lovely from the off and very helpful!

Able to answer all questions and very responsive. This house had everything we needed to host a big family Christmas. There was nothing missing in the kitchen, everything to hand and plenty for all the family to use. All rooms had good space, some beds comfier than others. Some mattresses were very firm. The sofa upstairs could do with replacing - but so nice to have an extra social space. Great open spaces for the children to play. Very child friendly with stair gate, travel cots and high chair. The only slight downside were the hard lounge rugs, hard for the babies to crawl on but appreciate they are hard wearing for people treading in/out of the property. Some constructive feedback but overall a brilliant stay in a great location. Thank you! ☺️

Perfectly accommodated our multi-generational party.

House manager communicative & helpful. Hope to return!

Returning home after our third stay at Trelawns and it never disappoints.

Clean, comfortable and just the most beautiful spot to spend a week watching the waves. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need and there’s plenty of space to accomodate 10 people without feeling like you’re on each others toes. Until next year ….

We found Trelawns to be a very comfortable and well-equipped property in an excellent location.

There were just a handful of niggles which stopped me giving it a 5* review: the house wasn't quite as clean as we would have liked, we had to wash and tumble all the towels as they smelt damp, there was only 1 tea towel, some bathrooms had no hand soap or bin, the wifi is slow (only 20mb) and the router is tucked away in a corner of the kitchen meaning the signal is spotty throughout the house (the slow wifi meant that watching TV could be challenging as neither TV is connected to an aerial). It's also worth mentioning the parking. As a previous reviewer said, the driveway and parking area is shared with another property. We did not have a problem as we only had 2 cars but if you had 3, although they would fit, it would take some interesting manouvering the get them turned around so you could go back down the steep and narrow driveway forwards.

We love Trelawns so these comments are very minor Had a roof leak affecting sitting area and French doors in bedroom Would have liked more T towels and hand towels for bathrooms /kitchen one bath mat missing and a bit of hand soap and washing up liquid to get started would be nice Also some salt that works and some milk on arrival

ust arrived home after a wonderful week in Cornwall, the house location is fantastic, the views are absolutely incredible and the house was very spacious, it comfortably fit our party of 10 (4 adults & 6 children).

The cleanliness was good, on the surface it was really clean, there were just a few areas that perhaps needed attention, I.e, dead flies in windowsills, bath wasn’t overly clean, shower room downstairs needed a wipe down. If you have small children you just need to be aware of the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen, there was a bottle of ‘kitchen sanitizing spray’ which had been refilled with a diluted bleach, and not labelled as having bleach in, also, dishwasher tablets loose in the bottom of the cupboard. The bathroom in the master bedroom like one of the previous reviews say, hasn’t got any frosted/privacy glass on the windows so I definitely advice you to shut the blinds before showering because the next door neighbours can see straight in. The reason I have given a lower score on the accuracy of the listing is I hadn’t read anywhere that there was another property on the grounds of the house/shared drive and access, I’m unsure how often someone does stay there but it’s super close to the main house, The lady who manages the property advised me that it was the owners house so I’m not sure how comfortable I’d feel staying in the house with someone else staying basically in the garden. It was accessed twice during our stay, but only for a very short period. The property manager also had to come back into the property once we had arrived to sort some towels out that was in the dryer, maybe just running a little behind but again, could be a problem for some. I wanted to leave as honest feedback as possible, I hope it hasn’t come across to negative because the house really was beautiful in a stunning location, the beds were SUPER comfy with what felt like really good quality bedding. We did have a great week and we would definitely stay again, the few issues I’ve mentioned didn’t really bother us, but it could some.

Property was very clean with a fantastic location.

Short walk down to the beach was a highlight. Kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is comfortable with excellent views. The only thing missing is a BBQ. We liked it so much we’ve rebooked for next year.

Generally it’s a lovely place to stay and I recommend the property itself but a few things really let our stay down.

It’s advertised as off road parking for 4 cars. But the day before arrival the property manager texts (at gone 10pm I will add!) and asks us to park close to the house and not to block the garage or access to the store. If you can’t park in front of garage there is definitely NOT room for 4 cars but 3 at the most. Not as advertised. There were a few other things like lamp not working in one of the bedrooms, no towels in the single rooms and hardly any loo roll. Luckily we took our own but very stingy and only one in each loo, the thin cheap kind that disappears quickly. The drive way which goes past the lounge was like Clapham junction. Vans constantly up and down the “private’ drive past lounge on Saturday, lots of comings and goings. Not very private at all! About 9.30pm on Saturday night a car parked by the downstairs twin room window where my brother was trying to sleep and left the engine running for ages. They were something to do with the property behind but using same drive and didn’t have the courtesy to turn off the engine when they went inside. Car shouldn’t be left stationary with engine running let alone next to a bedroom on a property they were not staying at that wee thought was private. A running car engine a foot from the window! But the worst thing of all was the noise from the gardener ALL AFTERNOON on Saturday. It started just before lunchtime and the strimming and hedge cutting was very loud and went on for HOURS. He was there all afternoon. By 5.30pm we had had enough of the noise as he moved to right by the bedroom window and we asked him to stop. Not very peaceful at all!! We also had to ask him to move his van twice as as he was blocking us in too. The weather wasn’t that great on Saturday so we didn’t sit outside but you could hear the hedge cutter loud and clear from inside. This should be done between check out and check in times NOT in the middle of a Saturday when you have paying weekend guests for a peaceful weekend away. The hedge cutting lasted hours! The noise, the people coming and going and the no privacy ruined our Saturday. That’s nearly 50% of the weekend and the main day. Very disappointed there was no thought to guests.

Fabulous house, very spacious.

The view is stunning and the sun sets over the sea straight opposite the house. Everything one needs is within walking distance, even a woodland sauna (thoroughly recommend). Few hills to keep us fit!

Lovely, large property in a great location.

View from the balcony was fantastic. Great facilities, clean and comfortable. Bedding and towels soft and sumptuous. Only feedback is there could have been a few extra toilet rolls and some hand soap in bathrooms. We were a group of 7 friends and it suited us perfectly

The kitchen was very well equipped which was much appreciated as we cooked several evening meals at the property which we enjoyed in the spacious dining and lounge areas with our family .

Another wonderful stay at Trelawns.

This house is instantly relaxing - I could sit and watch the waves all day. Has everything you could need. Thank you x

Thank you for the wine and biscuits left.

We have stayed in many rented houses home and abroad and although this one was very spacious and ideal for a large family, we felt there are a few areas that need attention and the description is lacking one vital piece of information. There is a steep drive up to the parking area, where we were asked to park close to the house, as there is an apartment above the double garage and store room in the back garden, over looking the house. This was accessed through the week whilst we were staying. We had a transporter and saloon car parked, if my daughter would have brought hers we would have blocked the access area. My mother is of a nervous disposition and it was upsetting her with someone coming and going and even cleaning their van there. This should be stated in the description. The house itself was lovely and well equipped but the downstairs views are obscured by the Scarlet Hotel, which is a shame. We did not use the downstairs bedrooms or bathroom as due to illness some of the family could not make it, however, none of the doors close properly, the handles are all loose and catches not working. The bathroom needs revamping, broken tiles. The bathroom near the kitchen needs a revamp and door is broken, looks like it's been forced open, it does not stay shut unless locked. The ensuite bathroom upstairs is lovely, the window above the double sink has beautiful views and is in direct line of the neighbours sitting room! This needs some privacy glass or film, to at least the bottom of it. Decking is lovely with views over the coast and plenty of seating, shame all the cushions were locked away though. The upstairs beds were comfy, spacious and warm. It was just a shame, I have never come across this before, none of the bedding in all 6 bedrooms was ironed, it was as if they'd been dried screwed up then put on the beds, not a good look! The same with the saggy cushions on the couches. To me and my family it does not make a good first impression. With just a little more care and time this home would be worth the money being charged. Don't get me wrong, those of us who made it, had a lovely time. If it was everyone, it would have been different, due to issues with parking, bathrooms and downstairs sleeping areas. Vacuum needed under the beds. Also the large shattered pane of glass in living room that is awaiting replacement. (We were told about the glass 2d before arrival) We don't normally moan about things, but it was a gathering after losing my dad unexpectedly, earlier in the year, and we wanted it to be special. It's the little things that count. I feel this is an honest review.

Lovely and clean, well equipped house.

Lovely views. Lovely local beach. Comfortably sleeps 10. 2 fridges and a freezer. Washing machine and Tumble Dryer We went as a 3 generation family group and had a really lovely time

Lovely house we’re looking forward to coming back next year

Nice cottage, excellent location.

The downstairs bedrooms and esp. the downstairs shower room all need refreshing. It would have helped if a very few extras had been provided, e.g. teabags and condiments. Most rented properties provide a welcome pack

This was are second visit to the house in 3 years.

It’s a beautiful house excellent facilities great location and has had some lovely improvements since are last visit. We would certainly stay at this house again when we visit Cornwall again. One small issue I would like to raise to the owner but feel is really important on safety grounds is there are two bathrooms that don’t have safety lock handles on one upstairs and one downstairs which allows you to open the bathroom door from the outside if someone gets locked inside the two concerned have small bolts on. My nearly 3 year old granddaughter locked the door and could not open it again my son in law had to force the door when she began to panic which caused damage to the door which we immediately reported to the duty manager. She was fine and we continued to have a wonderful holiday and stay at the house. Thank you.

A lovely house, the views are fantastic.

Living room very spacious for 9 of us. We were so lucky with the weather this week. Buses are v good and only £2 fares….walk in either direction and bus back. Recommend the local pub, Merrymoor Inn. Tasty fish and good service. Bit disappointed with Cornish Arms. Edie’s near St Austell is fantastic, have been several times always top notch.

Even better than it looks in the photos.

The house has an amazing large living space which we used as a yoga studio for a retreat weekend. Loved watching the weather change across the ocean and exploring the coast path. A large kitchen space with everything you could need for cooking big meals at home or a short stroll to the pub if you want a night off cooking. Thank you Jaynie & Trelawns

We have as a family group holidayed at Trelawns on three occasions and love it.

It suits our family’s needs and it’s close proximity to Mawgan Porth and other beaches and the coastal path all make for a great holiday destination

What a wonderful place to stay!

The location was amazing, so close to the beach. The house was beyond our expectations - high spec, clean and roomy. The main lounge area was brilliant - so many places to sit and enjoy the views. Bedrooms were all super, especially the master bedroom upstairs with the bath and the views from the sinks while brushing your teeth! The outdoor shower was really useful for the wetsuits and surfboards. Only suggestions to improve would be: more toilet rolls! A mirror in the bathroom of the master bedroom for shaving (i did cut my lip!). The fan in the second double room upstairs was very noisy, we turned it off. The toilet seat in the toilet by the front door needs tightening. The duvets in the twin room should be winter duvets at this time of year, my daughter was on her own so used both the duvets so it was fine! A smaller non stick frying pan and some baking trays to warm our croissants!

The reason I would not stay at the property again is the lack parking if there was 10 people staying at the property and the property behind was rented as well there would be no where to park several cars.

We absolutely loved our stay at Trelawns July 2023.

The house worked so well for two large families with lots of space abe everything you need. Lovely town and access to a beautiful and fun beach. We hope to be back!

A great property for a large group, perfectly situated in Mawgan Porth.

Clean, well equipped, comfortable.

This is a fabulous house in a fabulous location absolutely stunning!

! Wonderful surprise to see the newly finished terrace, can not fault anything…….. just beautiful

Beautiful house very comfortable!

Had a pleasant stay at Trelawns, and Mawgan Porth was a lovely place to stay.

The area and the bay is beautiful. Met the owners of the house and they were very nice, and Janey the property manager equally so. The welcome pack was filled with lots of info on the area etc, and the biscuits and wine were a lovely touch to welcome us to Trelawns. The house itself was well equipped and roomy to chill out in. Kitchen was lovely and plenty of room at the table. Beds were comfy and bathrooms are a good size. There were 7 adults in our party and plenty of space for all of us. The only downsides, and I think these should be added to, or stipulated more in the description is that the view across the bay is obstructed by the flat roof of The Scarlet hotel. There is also a deepish step from the living area down to the wonderfully spacious bay window. I could have sat there all day. The owners said they were having work done on the house a few days after we left so best to check future descriptions and pictures as my downsides 'may' not be so much of an issue in the future. The garden was lovely to sit out in, large table and chairs. One thing I do have to say, the sunsets are just the best and if you're a sunset lover, you will not be disappointed. As for the area, thoroughly recommend Bodmin Jail, Lobster Hatchery in Padstow, Newquay Zoo, Aviation Centre near the RAF base and the Japanese Gardens. Looe is also a lovely place to visit. Overall, a good stay at Trelawns and would recommend it.

Thankyou so much.

Beautiful property. Jayne was brilliant with all of our needs. Sparkling clean on arrival.

The property was perfectly placed.

It was very clean and well equipped. We had 4 little ones and the main room was very spacious. Perfect for them to run around. There were two fridges and a wine fridge. There were plenty of plates and cooking utensils All very important for so many people. Mawgan Porth is a beautiful little town. The local shop sells everything you could need. The beach is fabulous and very safe for the little ones. We would definitely go back

We were 6 adults and 4 children.

The accommodation was spacious and appropriate for everyone.

House keeper excellent and level of cleanliness outstanding.

Thank you.

Very spacious & very clean.

well equipped. Lovely view from the big bay windows.We enjoyed our stay very much and would certainly book it again.

Great cottage in Mawgan Porth.

It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent location, plenty of room for everyone. Beds were super comfy.

The house is fantastically spaced out, with a large family holiday with unfortunate wet weather we spent plenty of time inside the house and everyone had ample space, the facilities are excellent and the house was spotless (I feel I had to note this to other potential customers as we were initially concerned prior to arrival due to an earlier review) it is well maintained and the contact, Jayney was on hand if we needed anything (we didn’t but it’s a nice touch).

Fantastic stay, thank you

We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed our stay.

Although it was a really wet week the cottage had lots of room for everyone to spread out with lovely views. The Property Manager couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely return. Thank you for a memorable holiday

The large living area enabled or family to chat and have different things going on.

Easy walk down to beach. Lots of fridge capacity.

This was the dirtiest house I have ever rented.

Bathrooms had not been cleaned which was very unpleasant. I had to bottom the family bathroom myself so that my family would feel comfortable to use it. Staircase not hoovered. Years of muck in radiators and on all skirting boards. Dirt on walls, in the corners of the kitchen floor, filthy engrained pepper & salt mill, shattered glass in cupboard. We had to clean out the fridge and dishwasher. Disappointed, angry and upset as this was a treat for my family and their first visit to Cornwall. Problem was not resolved properly. Sykes are the WORSE holiday letting company I have dealt with and I will NEVER book with them again. The complaints procedure is a total farce.

Brillaint family house very well equipped, but not so smart that you have to worry about the children breaking things!

Lovely setting with gorgeous coastal walks just 5 minutes away!

The house was perfect for us really and had everything we needed. Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends!

Arrived back in Leicester tonight after having the most amazing Christmas week at Trelawns.

This house is absolutely stunning (even in the grey and rain of winter). The kitchen is stunning, has everything you need and more plus sat 9 of us and a high chair around the table for Xmas lunch with ample space. The living room area is huge, again us all having ample space to sit, chill, or play games. The views are fabulous - the bedrooms were all well suited for our needs and having the snug upstairs meant PlayStation could still be played by my son (haha). Janey is a super star! She manages the property so well and is extremely helpful. The property was spotless when we arrived. I have absolutely no complaints to make at all.. If you want to stay in a beautiful large house, near to the sea, with a pub down the road (very steep hill) with everything you need for a large group then Trewlans is the place for you 100%. Thank you to Janey again and thank you to the owner for allowing us to have the opportunity to book and stay in your stunning property over the Xmas period. I would definitely book again. Clare Randall

The downstairs bedrooms were a little chilly in comparison with the rest of the house but nothing that couldn't be coped with.

The downstairs bath needed cleaning before it could be used other than that fabulous place, fabulous views. Would definitely book it again.

Good large living space, large master bedroom, outside shower, downstairs indoor shower, two kettles, plenty of hot water Less good Second bedroom upstairs low ceiled and rather small Hairs found in downstairs bathroom on arrival Requirement to vacuum at departure is out of order.

Tidy and empty dishwasher yes, but cleaner between tenants essential, surely? First aid kit only found under kitchen sink on day of departure. It should be labelled and mentioned on A4 list of house instructions. Inadequate recycling bins. Families on holiday make more landfill and recycling than normal. No indication on arrival or anywhere on property that the drive was shared which required parking away from neighbour's garage.. Existence of BBQ was good (albeit small for a house of ten people) not mentioned on original property details and we had to telephone to check.

We were lucky enough to have a week holiday at Trelawns in 2018 too.

The only very minor comment would be to have two tea towels not just one, and two loo rolls per bathroom rather than the one each. Trelawns was comfortable and worked well for our party. Jaynie checked we were ok on arrival Thank you!

The position and accommodation suited our needs very well, so much so in fact that we have already rebooked for next year.

Our daughters, their partners and especially the grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and are looking forward to next year. The beautiful beaches, many National Trust properties and tasty pasties provided all we needed

The central heating issue was addressed promptly.

The view is obscured partially by the Scarlet Hotel, it would have been good if this was made clear.

As we were a group of 8 adults and 2 children, our options are often limited .

Having looked at this property about a year before we actually went I was extremely happy with the help and advice offered by your Sykes customer service team . We were able to secure the property with a small deposit initially , refundable if we changed our plans ( definite bonus ) , with the final payment nearer the time . Communication was effective and prompt. I was able to contact the property manager a few days before our holiday about requesting a cot and high chair along with key collection and arrival times . On arrival the property was clean and welcoming and exactly as advertised. Well appointed with plenty of space for everyone. Views from the property are lovely, the beach is indeed a 5 minute walk away ! Opportunities to surf , or learn to , if you’re interested. The coastal walks are stunning, a definite must . We also found some lovely places to eat out locally , when we didn’t feel like cooking. Would very happily recommend this property and Mawgan Porth, and hope to return in the future.

You are probably aware there is ant ant nest in the bay window area.

Very nice house, very nice village and bay. The grandchildren learnt to surf.

Tralawns is a beautiful place very spacious there was 10 Adults and there was plenty of room for all of us and the views was to die for would recommend it to anyone Barry Robinson

Perfect for a large family group.

We had a wonderful time and this cottage provided comfort for everyone. Thank you

The house was so spacious, the views were lovely and the walks were good too.

There were plenty of places to visit either by walking, driving or using the bus. The walk from the bay up to the house was fairly steep but good exercise. We found everyone in the area so friendly and helpful and would certainly return to the area and the house.

Had the most amazing time making new memories with the family.

Views were incredible and the house gorgeous and well kitted out with lovely seaside theme feeling througout. Would definitely stay again.

The holiday home was of very high quality and comfort, very enjoyable.
