“We absolutely loved our stay here.”

The cottage was so cosy and homely. Really comfortable sofas and chairs, the wood burning stove kept us toasty warm in the evenings. Perfect location for visiting St Just, St Ives, Mousehole, Newlyn. Just wonderful - we will be back!

“This sympathetically updated and tastefully furnished cottage exceeded our expectations.”

It was rather more spacious than we had anticipated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in a quiet location with sea views, particularly from the upstairs bedrooms. There are many places to visit in the immediate area, including beaches, rugged coastline and mining heritage sites, so we did not travel very far during our stay. However, despite the sea being so tantalisingly close, the public footpath connecting Trevowhan to the coastal path was rather overgrown with nettles and brambles at the time of our visit, so reaching the coast on foot was not quite as straightforward as we had anticipated.

“Our second stay, this time as a family that includes Grandparents, a baby and a dog and we had a fantastic stay in the best location.”

Many thanks to all!

Raymond September 2023

“We had a lovely holiday at Trevowhan House & were lucky to have perfect weather.”

A bit more outside furniture would have been good ie: picnic table but apart from that the cottage was very clean,comfortable & well equipped.We would highly reccommend it!

“We have had a wonderful stay a real Home from home feel !”

The house was immaculately clean and cosy thanks so much !!! Easy access everywhere from the bus stop outside the house works perfectly for walking sections of the beautiful coastal path

Julie June 2023

“We loved our stay at Trevowhan House which is both beautiful and tranquil, the house had everything we needed and it is a great base for exploring and this part of Cornwall.”

We especially loved the location, the wonderful beaches and the great bus service. Definitely looking forward to booking again in 2024…

Ben June 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Trevowhan House.”

The location was great being a short drive from St Ives and Penzance. The house was very nicely designed/furnished and extremely clean. There are some great walks from the doorstep, especially along the coastal path to Portheras Beach. Would highly recommend to anyone.

- Ben, June 2023
Christina June 2023

“Excellent property.”

Clean and beautiful setting. Could do with thicker curtains as it was so bright. Also would be great if basics like cleaning products or sugar/salt/pepper were provided.

“As usual, we had a wonderful time at Trevowhan House.”

The owners can't do enough to help you enjoy your stay, from the welcome of flowers and wine-and a bottle of beer for my husband! and cold refreshing water in the fridge, to the care they took to replace a faulty appliance. (Not a year old, under warranty and not their fault).We want a,quiet, relaxing holiday, and the house and area provides that. Shopping in St Just and over the gorgeous road to Penzance are easy, and beaches are an easy drive away (We tend to use Longrock or Marazion for the dog).but often, we stay in and sit in the sun. That said, plenty walks and places to explore. We've lost track of how many times we've been to Trevowhan-but we'll be back soon.

“Trevowhan house is a gem of a holiday cottage.”

Beautifully and sympathetically styled, warm, cosy and with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. If only we could have booked some dry weather, too! This was our second stay here, but this time the weather wasn’t kind to us. However, if the weather dictates that your holiday will largely be indoors, this is the perfect place. Plenty of wood is provided for the log burners if you should need extra heat or even if you just want to provide a lovely ambiance in either of the reception rooms. There is a huge selection of books, covering every genre (including children’s books) and a decent sized TV. There is also a digital radio. The master bedroom is extremely spacious, beds are comfortable, with good quality bedding and there are throws all over the cottage if you should need extra warmth. The views from the bedrooms, on a clear day, are absolutely lovely. The owners, Tamsin & Matt, have kitted the cottage out very thoughtfully and have ensured that you have everything you need. I’m a little concerned about writing a review saying how much we love Trevowhan House, as we will definitely want to return and don’t want all the dates to be booked up (!) but it is definitely a cottage we will return to again and again.

- Clive, April 2023
Elliott March 2023

“If you are lucky enough to find this property available then just book it without hesitation.”

It exceeded our expectations. The property has been sympathetically restored to a high standard, it has all the mod cons one needs but without detracting from its originality. The rooms are spacious, the location is rural and quiet but within a few miles of Penzance, St Ives and all amenities. Waking up to the sea view from the bedroom window is good for the soul along with the dramatic coastal walks on your doorstep. I'll be booking again!

- Elliott, March 2023

“Lovely charming cottage.”

Exceptionally clean and so very comfortable and well equipped. Easy access to Sennen, St ives etc. and great walks. Highly recommend!

“Lovely characterful cottage, extremely comfortable, quiet rural location but close enough to Penwith attractions.”

- Peter, February 2023
Matthew January 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Trevowhan house with my parents and our dog.”

A lovely place to explore this area that we love so much. Ideal for a family or group of friends. Close to the great Gurnards Head (have a meal there if you can) and the Tinner’s Arms. Not far also from St Just but still remote enough with lots of lovely walks from the door, or a short drive/bus away. The beds were comfortable, the living spaces cosy with the fires burning. Will book again if we are visiting the area. Thank you! Slaínte!

- Matthew, January 2023
Clive September 2022

“This holiday home was a delight to stay in.”

It has a lot of traditional cottage character, is very spacious and has excellent facilities. The rural location gives sea views, but you're not far from some of the larger towns. Would need a longer stay to read the excellent book selection.

- Clive, September 2022
Petrina September 2022

“Trevowhan is a beautiful old cottage set in a perfect position to explore West Cornwall.”

The sea views are breathtaking, especially at sunset. The cottage is clean and well equipped with everything you may need, the fresh flowers and bottle of wine were a lovely touch from the owners, Tamsin and Matt. We had our labrador with us throughout every moment of our stay as there are so many dog friendly pubs and restaurants in the area serving great local seafood. We rarely go back to the same place twice but we'd be happy to make an exception with Trevowhan.

Lisa July 2022

“We have just returned from a fantastic week staying at Trevowhan House.”

The house is in a great position to access the coastal footpaths in either direction and we had many evening walks to the beautiful Portheras beach for a dip. . The sea views were stunning with amazing sunsets. Did not use car all week, utilised the open air bus service when we had walked to far or had one too many at Gurnards Head or The Tinners in Zennor. Food also great at both. Tamsin, the owner was very obliging, I made her aware that we would not arrive until after dark and she very kindly ensured that the lights were switched on. The bottle of wine and fresh flowers were also greatly appreciated. The house was very clean, cosy and well equipped. Thank you very much.

- Lisa, July 2022
John June 2022

“The perfect holiday property!”

Everything was perfect, and we could not find a fault with anything. The location is stunning, and also very quiet. It is the perfect place to de-stress and unwind. I came away feeling very relaxed and that I had slept well too. The bed is sooo comfortable! It was hard sometimes to pull myself out of it in the morning. The house was spotlessly clean everywhere. We travel a lot, and have to say this is the cleanest house that we have ever rented. The bed linen and towels were good quality, as was the mattress and pillows, and also exceptionally clean.. The house is beautiful as is the scenery from the windows. Pulling apart the curtains in the morning to a scene of surrounding glistening turquoise coloured sea is amazing. The moorland is also beautiful, and so interesting too. The whole area is. The décor in the house was also good quality and also the art work very impressive. We loved the SMEG oven in the kitchen too! The Owner was very friendly, polite, easy going and helpful. She also responded very quickly to any query. We highly recommend this beautiful house to stay in, and will most certainly be booking it again in the future!

“A delightful location and a lovely cottage.”

Good position to access all the beaches and attractions in the area.

Glynis May 2022

“We thought we wouldn't be able to get back to Trevowhan House in our last review, but we were so glad to be able to do so.”

Yes,we have visited several times! Tamsin and Matt, the owners make us so welcome with flowers and wine, and provided a brand new combination oven/microwave as the oven was playing up-no complaints there as it cooked perfectly. The house suits us (2 oldies and a dog)perfectly, and I imagine a family with 3 children would be fine.The house is furnished in accordance with its age and location-if you want the character of Cornwall, this is brilliant ! Even the neighbours in Trevowhan welcomed us back. It's countryside with a fantastic sea view to wake up to-missing it already. If you take time to discover the beaches and hidden gems around here, this is a fantastic base.

- Glynis, May 2022
Peter April 2022

“The cottage was lovely - really comfy, tastefully decorated, nice touches from fresh flowers to wine in the fridge.”

The location for us was perfect and we were blessed with the weather which all amounted to a wonderful few days in Cornwall - just wished it could have been longer.

- Peter, April 2022
Dinah April 2022

“A really nice cottage, although there was a strong damp musty smell on arrival.”

The kitchen was really well equipped. We had problems with the oven (it didn’t work) but the owners came out immediately to see if they could rectify the problem. They even offered to buy us fish and chips because we couldn’t cook our meal, which was a lovely gesture. The cottage is furnished in a rustic style but there’s a fine line between rustic and basic. Parking is a problem, we managed to squeeze 2 cars onto the drive but our third car had to be parked away from the property. The biggest disappointment was the beds. The bunk room is tiny, and I mean tiny, I feel the advertising for the cottage should state that it’s not really suitable for 6 adults. The reason I have given a low score for comfort is due to the double beds. We have never slept on such uncomfortable mattresses before. Hard, lumpy and old. To be totally honest, it’s just a little insulting to be expected to sleep in these beds as paying guests. Because of this We wouldn’t recommend the property to others and we certainly wouldn’t return. However put in decent mattresses and we’ll be happy to do so.

- Dinah, April 2022

Thank you for acknowledging that we were highly apologetic for the oven not working. This was unfortunate and we were disappointed that we could not find an immediate solution during your brief stay with us. We are however puzzled by your claim that there was a damp smell on arrival. We cleaned the property ourselves the morning of your arrival and certainly did not notice anything. Trevowhan is an old granite house however we have gone to great lengths to make sure the property is not damp including most recently lime plastering the bathroom. As regards the mattresses, we ourselves slept at Trevowhan two weeks before your arrival and slept beautifully. The mattresses are turned regularly and are certainly not in our opinion lumpy or hard. The Sykes listing states very clearly that the third bedroom is a bunk room explicitly referencing the fact that is “particularly suitable for children’. We can only assume that guests read the description of Trevowhan carefully before booking. We will however liaise with Sykes to be even more explicit. The listing also clearing states that there is 'Off road parking for 1 car', we agree that the house is not suitable for three cars. We were disappointed that you chose to park a car on the front garden instead. We suspect that you did not read the email that I sent prior to your arrival giving additional parking details & requesting that you “do not put any smaller items of rubbish loose in the bin (including dog waste bags) as the local refuse collectors have to move the bags by hand as the roads are too narrow for a regular size lorry". We take great pride in Trevowhan House and take all feedback personally, acting on areas to improve when the points raised are legitimate. Property Owner
Mary March 2022

“We loved Trevowhan House.”

Lots of character and a relaxing homely feel. The house was very well equipped and we were grateful for the logs left so that we could use both woodburners. Stunning views and so much to see.

Tessa January 2022

“We loved this property and were really cosy and comfortable here despite awful January weather.”

Everything was so clean and we had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed all the artwork and style of the furnishings it made it a joy to stay here.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, everything you needed .”

Felt nice and warm and cosy despite the wind whistling around the cottage all week !! Christmas Tree was a lovely surprise and the fresh flowers . Amazing seaviews from all the rooms and a lovely location . One tiny thing was the mattress in the smaller bedroom was not too comfortable . All in all a good time was had by all not forgetting our two golden retrievers ☺️

“The only thing I could pick fault with was the wifi and only because it was a little slow.”

Perhaps get Virgin Broadband in the cottage, it would be absolutely brilliant then.

“What a beautiful cottage in a wonderful part of Cornwall.”

We had never stayed this far west and weren’t disappointed.The cottage was clean to a high standard and very cosy and well equipped.If you are used to nothing but modern comforts you might find the beds a struggle.Having said that after a day out I would have slept on the stone floor.Overall we had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful cottage.And the sunsets are breathtaking.

Angela October 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay in Trevowhan House.”

The cottage was clean, comfortable and welcoming and we had good and prompt communications with the owners. Exactly as stated in the particulars, the WI-FI is very slow. Having prepared for that by taking some DVDs, we were a little disappointed to find no DVD player, but it wasn't an issue overall. It certainly wouldn't stop us recommending the cottage to anyone visiting that area.

- Angela, October 2020

“Lovely fresh vase of natural flowers on arrival.”

Cottage absolutely beautiful- cosy, full of character, a little gem with beautiful views across fields to the sea. Loved the peaceful location.

Lisa August 2020

“Had a lovely week’s stay at Trevowhan House.”

The cottage is period style in the main but decor and furniture in keeping with that style. Despite it being August, we did need to put the heaters on in bedrooms overnight, but they heat the rooms up well. Plus, feather pillows which is uncommon in most rentals but a really plus point for me, I am a bit princess and the pea, but struggle with hollowfibre pillows, so I slept great with these! Waking up each morning to beautiful sea views also a bonus. We used the wood burning stove in the living room a couple of times just to boost warmth. Without the heating, the property would be damp and cold. The kitchen well equipped though. On arrival a lovely bunch of meadow flowers in dining room, and flowers in kitchen window as well as bottle of wine. The small touches like this make the difference. If could make a suggested improvement, the larger bedroom could take a king size bed, and this would enhance comfort for guests. Otherwise we had a really enjoyable stay.

- Lisa, August 2020
Colin August 2020

“The cottage was cold damp and dark,we had to put the heating on to get any warmth into the cottage, there was no way that the cottage could accommodate six people, one bedroom which had bunk beds was very small, an adult could not have slept in either of the beds in that room, in the other two bedrooms the double beds were small in length,my feet got stuck in the iron work at the foot of the bed,when we left we stripped the bed and pillows only to find that the pillows were heavily soiled and should be disposed of and not reused, in the main television room i can't understand why there were no throw overs on the sofa surely the owners could have two sets of covers to interchange, in general the furnishings was very shabby the only saving grace was the kitchen and bathroom was what we would have expected ,in general the cottage was not fit for purpose.”

- Colin, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We do take Customer comments very seriously. This is very out of character for this cottage. The owner would have been more than happy to help with any issues had they been raised during your stay. Thank you for your review Property Owner
David October 2019

“Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting g.”

Close to the beach with a sea view and within easy travelling distance of all that Cornwall has to offer. Bed linens were immaculate and the beds really comfy. There were plenty of sitting areas to give everyone their own space when needed. The only draw back for our party was the internet connection. Wether it’s for social media, kids games, tv or work, pretty much everyone needs a decent WiFi signal these days and was a must for us as there was no phone signal or 4g. At present the owners are paying this for nothing as it literally does nothing. That said we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

- David, October 2019

“Our second stay at this lovely cottage.”

Great location for exploring, comfortable and clean accommodation. Will be back.

- Stephen, September 2019
Joanne August 2019

“The positives are: lovely cottage building full of old charm, mattress was very comfy and bedding crisp lovely white the negatives are the cottage was very isolated and not in a safe walking distance to anywhere which therefore we had no other option to drive everywhere, no internet all week, only 1 channel available on the radio, limited channels on the TV, oven, grill did not work and the hob functions also intermittent so had no real cooking facilities.”

the cottage had very strong damp and dusty smell to it so had to buy air freshener and scented candles to try and mask. this property wasn’t for us and didn’t meet our needs

- Joanne, August 2019

The cottage is one of 6/7 houses in the hamlet of Trevowhan near the visage if Morvah. It is in the very west of Cornwall with uninterrupted views to the ocean. The nearest shop is a 5/10 minute drive away in the village of Pendeen. There is broadband at the house however neither Trevowhan House nor any other property in the hamlet have super fast broadband speeds due to the hamlets distance from the cabinet. The broadband capacity works perfectly for checking emails or social media. It is less effective when streaming. There is a new tv at the house with multiple channels and two radios similarly with multiple channels. The cooker has always worked. It is a smeg with numerous hobs and a large oven. Trevowhan house is a charming old Cornish granite building. We have recently undertaken extensive annual renovation work including this year the fitting of an air circulation system, the lime repointing of an external wall and lime plastering in the bathroom. There is also a new ceiling in the stairwell. The house is very loved and we have numerous guests who return regularly to Trevowhan. We are confident that you too will appreciate its charm and character. Property Owner
William June 2019

“House name on gate would be good as it is difficult to see property from main road.”

Public footpaths extremely overgrown therefore easy access to dog walking was limited in our case as we couldn't let dogs off lead near the house. On a positive note we found plenty of beaches a short drive away which our dogs loved.

- William, June 2019
Divya May 2019

“The cottage was lovely.”

..in a quaint village. It had 3 large comfortable rooms which were very clean... The bathroom was huge with a good bathtub... The kitchen was well equipped... Overall we had a comfortable and great stay...

Emily December 2018

“Had a lovely stay at trevowhan house in December.”

It’s like stepping back in time, but with a more modern kitchen. Unfortunately our first night we were battered with high winds and rain and you can hear everything. We woke in the morning to quite a large puddle in the dining room, but it didn’t happen again despite it raining pretty much constantly while we were there. There are plenty of places to walk with our dog straight from the cottage. We would come back and stay in a flash!

This cottage was beautiful there was everything you would need and more I would normally bring things like washing up liquid and other kitchen things but they were all there, everything was there we have two westies and they loved the log fires we would definitely go back to this cottage it was fantastic

- George, September 2018
Suzanne August 2018

“The cottage and location was absolutely amazing.”

Lovely space and gorgeous artwork. My only criticism was that the wifi was less than sufficient (which is so often the case in the more remote cottages) which I would be fine with but it was difficult as I freelance so couldn't do any work. Amazing sunset view from the bedrooms too and loved that each room had a sea view. Would visit again in a flash. Also fab that the open top bus to st Ives stops just down the road! Recommend Gurnards Head too. One of my favourite pubs in Cornwall.

Glynis May 2018

“We love this cottage, and returned after a holiday there last October.”

It's peaceful, tranquil, in a beautiful setting - think waking up to a sea view in the morning, in an amazing setting of moors and cliff top walks, and yet it is easy to access beaches and historical sites. It's a great base to explore all of West Penwith, from St Ives to Penzance to Sennen.The cottage itself is like stepping back in time, but with a modern kitchen. If you like Poldark, think Nampara with granite work tops! I loved the atmosphere. Everything went well on this holiday, from helpful owners to great places to eat, to gorgeous beaches and historic sites. We'll be back - it felt like home.(Did I mention my husband's family lived there in 1851?)

- Glynis, May 2018
John March 2018

“The only negative on comfort was the mattresses, which were rather uncomfortable.”

Apart from that we can’t fault this cottage, which was beautifully presented, cozy and clean. We were made very welcome, with fires in both rooms already made up, a welcome pack and plenty of logs and kindling to start us off. Tamsin and Matt were really friendly and helpful with directions for the area. The cottage was perfectly situated, with sea views and plenty to do in every direction. Mousehole, Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, St Ives and Lands End were all with half an hour of the cottage, with the local tin mines and lighthouse nearby to add even more colour. We would definitely come again.

- John, March 2018
Suzanne December 2017

“The lady I contacted for the keys was very friendly and helpful.”

Really lovely spot. Some fast local drivers so be aware if you planned on walking back from one of the pubs. Would have liked some local walk books or information books on the area in the house but thats being really picky.

However, we loved it & would highly recommend it to others .

“The whole experience from booking to holiday-ing was perfect and easy.”

The representative on the phone from Sykes was welcoming and clear with instructions for booking. The cottage was absolutely beautiful, presented simply and calmly, not over doing anything but providing everything needed for a simple break away. The owner of the cottage was welcoming on the phone and very easy to converse with, leaving keys in easy to find places etc. I am extremely grateful to both Sykes and the cottage owners for a lovely experience. Thank you

Lovely cottage. We had some milk and biscuits waiting for us.

Tina August 2016

“A very nice old house, nice period features.”

It did smell musty and damp, had to light the log burner on a few evenings (in August) lots of logs available though and heated under blanket on bed which would definitely be needed in later months! A downside for us was the very large gap under the gate which dogs could get under straight onto the road, if this could be blocked it would be a plus. Little seating area to the rear of the house had no gate so not great for dogs at all. Nice views over fields to the sea, on the coast road, nearest amenities Pendeen.

- Tina, August 2016

Thank you for your feedback, we have adjusted the gate so that it should now be dog proof :) Property Owner

About the location

MORVAH

Pendeen 1.5 miles; St Just 4.0 miles; Zennor 4.7 miles; Penzance 6 miles; St Ives 9 miles; Lands End 11 miles

The charming village of Morvah is situated on the Penwith Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding natural Beauty, in North West Cornwall. The name Morvah is believed to derive from the Cornish Morveth meaning 'a place by the sea'. In addition to the church which dates back to the 15th century, there is a gallery and café in the village showcasing the arts and crafts of local Cornish artists. Just outside the village are several historical sites from the Iron Age and Neolithic times.
An open top bus service stops at the village on a route between St Ives and Lands End. This is a great way to get around without parking worries or a relaxing way to get home after enjoying walking sections of the stunning coastal path.

Perfect for exploring this lesser-known area of the county, there are so many fantastic things to see and do; from exploring the rugged coastline to pulling on your walking boots and criss-crossing the beautiful countryside, with public footpaths at every turn! The beaches in this section of Cornwall are fantastic and there are so many coastal villages and attractions that will keep you busy. Enjoy shopping in Penzance, discover hidden gems in St Ives' many harbour-front galleries, or find the perfect trinkets to take home in the novelty shops of Mousehole. The open-air Minack Theatre overlooking the stunning beach at Porthcurno should definitely go on the 'to visit' list, and you can also enjoy visiting the many filming locations of the BBC's, Poldark. Whether you're interested in a walking holiday, history, an adventure or a relaxed beach getaway, this fantastic area has something for everyone.
