Trelan

We had a fantastic holiday.

The cottage was lovely and just what we needed. Perfect position for activities around and days out.

Enjoyed our time here very much.

We would have returned in Autumn but from October this home is allowing dogs. Our experience of homes that do this is they go downhill rapidly. Your clothes pick up hairs from soft furnishings and homes smell.

What can you say about Trelan!

! We fell in love with it the moment we walked through the door!! The space, the fixtures and fittings were beyond our expectations!! The owners have obviously spent a great deal of time in getting the property ready, and have they succeeded!! The only way to sum up is, if we were offered the keys as our forever home, we wouldn't change a thing!!

Very good little property with lots of added extras.

Lovely little village close to many places.

We loved the location and the quite village with its picturesque church and very local pub.

We also loved the cottage, with it's quirky layout, latched doors, and the unique decor, interesting items and pictures in each room. Our only niggle when we walked in was the smell of damp. The heating had been left timed to come on in a morning and evening, which helped and we didn't notice after a couple of nights. It didn't take anything away from our stay, we had a great week.

Very clean and well looked after, home from home

We had such a lovely stay at Trelan.

The location was great, although we did find we needed to get in the car to get anywhere ( apart from going to the very lovely pub up the road!) The cottage was beautifully furnished and perfect for our needs and was extremely clean on arrival. Beds very comfortable and lots of storage. We did have an issue with the main shower/ bath leaking but when we reported it, the plumber came straight round and got it sorted straight away. We didn’t use the twin room in the end but did note that the pendant light in there is quite heavy and quite low and would be very easy to bump your head on it ( especially if children using that room) Facilities were generally very good but could do with a larger saucepan as only small ones there . This being said, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend Trelan

It's not really capable of catering for 6 adults.

There is not enough seating in the main living room, and cooking for 6 is almost impossible as there are no large pans. Apart from this we had a wonderful two weeks.

Water was too hot - scalding hot, even for an adult.

Dangerous for children Some holes in the back garden need filling in, and along edge of garden/patio Edge of patio could do with a rail on one side as about 18" drop and dangerous for children. Palm plant needs cutting back as a branch hangs over onto path and kept needed pushing out of the way to go up steps onto garden.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

The garden is a great bonus when the weather is good. Everything you could need and very helpful owner.

Cottage was great and the parking with two cars was fine .

The garage was very spacious and the extra fridge freezer was a welcome bonus . Beds were comfortable and the whole house was spotlessly clean .A wonderful house keeper ! We did think a mirror downstairs would be very useful to check appearance or do make up as the two bathrooms were upstairs and if occupied, not so easy . We could not seem to get the heating to work in the mornings even though my husband tried several times and referred to the manual. We did notice the damp problem with the fire place but it did not affect our stay in any way . The bottle of cornish gin was a lovely gesture even so .Hope you get it sorted soon .Thanks for a lovely week.

2nd time booking this lovely cottage .

We find it most suitable to our needs in it's location, quietness, cleanliness and above all so very comfortable

A beautiful cottage, well maintained, very friendly, helpful owner.

We had a wonderful holiday and the accommodation was top notch.

The cottage is in a lovely quiet village.

The only thing to be aware (especially if you have young children), is that cars, trucks, and even a bus, do travel at relative high speed within feet of the front door and side exit, so keep an eye on small ones. However, that’s not really a comment on the cottage which was lovely, clean and roomy with two reception rooms, and good sized bedrooms where up to 6 people could stay comfortably (we were a group of 4 so more than enough space). The beds were all comfortable and everybody slept well. The cottage is within 2 minutes walk of the local public house that serves food for 6 days a week, but not Sunday evening as they’re closed. The garden backs onto a church graveyard so nobody overlooking. We visited the church and the graveyard and had a nice walk around. The garden provided plenty of outside space for relaxing, eating and drinking if you didn’t want to sit indoors. There was a big umbrella to keep the sun (or rain!!) off. The location is excellent being only 4 minutes drive from the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and 15/20 min drive to St Austell and the supermarkets (ASDA and Tesco). Mevagissy was also very close. Eden Project was around 30 minutes drive away. We all had a wonderful week staying in Trelan. However, there was one (what we thought was minor as it didn’t impact the holiday) issue that needs to be said… We read on a previous review that somebody had reported water ingress in the chimney breast in the main lounge. Whilst we were staying at Trelan it did rain a lot, and the wall in the lounge was literally oozing with water coming through the plaster in several places. We have photographs to evidence it. The damp patches were there for several days. In addition, the small snug sitting room had a musty smell that overtime became too much. We did leave the room window open when we were in the property to air it off, but the musty smell still persistent. Finally, when we got home we realised that all our clothes smelt quite musty which we think could only have come from staying in the cottage. Oddly, we didn’t really notice it whilst there, apart from the smell coming from the snug. We recognise the cottage is probably old and accept sometimes issues like water ingress does happen especially when we get downpours like we had whilst staying there, but it seems such a shame on such a beautiful cottage that has been otherwise well maintained. The property owner did seem quite dismissive to the other people who gave feedback about the issue, but I hope this time they take it with the good faith the feedback is being given in.

We had a lovely stay, the cottage was well equipped and the very short walk to the pub was ideal!

We had a couple of rainy days and the damp around the fireplace was very noticeable. We had a couple of young children with us and the stair gate was appreciated! Some of the information in the guest information book was out of date (WiFi code) and it would have been helpful to know where to put the rubbish on Saturday morning as we weren't sure.

The cottage was lovely, well placed and equipped.

However when we arrived it smelt damp and we noticed the fireplace wall in the main lounge/diner was very damp. The same wall in the bedroom above was also damp. The small window in the en-suite bedroom was broken and would not close.

Great little cottage!

Lovely cottage in a quiet village well placed for many of Cornwall's best bits.

Nice pub with good food in village with a fun quiz on a Thursday night. Nice welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and milk but a few logs would have been appreciated. Also need an outside light in the porch to get the keys and to light steps to the garage, where there is an additional fridge freezer. The folder is out of date referring to a laundry bag we couldn't find. These are all minor things that would not put us off booking this cosy comfortable cottage again. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay and all was lovely and hope to book again for next year as it suited us well .

My son lives a few miles away and it was a perfect place to meet and spend quality time with the family as well as enjoying our own space

Lovely property with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Lovely location but quite remote and you need to drive to find a shop for groceries etc. Roads are narrow around the area and ignore sat nav - it will send you on very narrow roads where locals drive very fast! Loved our stay in the Cottage!

This was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in.

It was spotless and just as described. We have been on cottage holidays for the last 10 years and usually during our stay I find that something is missing, poorly maintained or broken but everything here was spot on. The large garage was an added bonus as it meant we could put the car away each night and we don’t have a small car. Would highly recommend this property.

All good

A fantastic cottage situated in a friendly village with a great local pub.

Trelan is an extremely well appointed cottage and beautifully decorated.

It was spotlessly clean and welcoming. The beds are the most comfortable we have experienced. The only problem we encountered was the steps in the garden would benefit from a handrail . St Ewe is well situated for exploring the area and we enjoyed eating at the pub around the corner. Lobb’s farm shop at Heligan is very well stocked and worth a visit.

Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable.

Plenty of room for a family. Everything you would need was in place, nice garden sadly the weather stopped us using this but would definitely return to this cottage.

A second enjoyable holiday with family, ideal accommodation for us, as grandparents we use the master bedroom with en-suite.

Well equipped and comfortable, some dusty items in master bedroom, candle lamps on window sill. No hand soap in en-suite and only one toilet roll in both bathrooms, in view of the high costs of holiday accommodation, I think these should have been provided, also an anti bacterial cleaner in the kitchen. On the plus side the cottage is spacious, stylish, very well equipped and in a lovely location, good parking, garden for relaxing and playing in and handy for the village pub where we ate four times. We spent many happy hours at Gorran Haven which is only ten minutes away which was perfect. Near to the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Mevagissey where we enjoyed a rib ride. I totally recommend Trelan!

Trelan is well appointed and very comfortable.

Plenty of space, inside & out. Enjoyed bbqs in the garden, would highly recommend. Perfect location. Also local pub welcoming & offering good food.

Trelan is a superb property no expanse has been spared in the furnishings and fittings, the village it is set in lovely area and the crown public house is a must visit for a meal.

We will definitely return to Trelan.

Great cottage, lovely break away!

Fabulous holiday home with everything you could possibly need.

Very comfortable and in a wonderful location. Not too far from beaches and the harbour but far enough to be quiet and tranquil!

We couldn’t be more pleased with Trelan.

The room s are bright and comfortable. The cottage is so well equipped with all you need for a holiday in Cornwall. Wonderful location close to beaches and attractions, see in a beautiful quite village. Excellent parking too.

Lovely cottage in a picturesque village.

Every amenity we could have needed was present. Many thoughtful details throughout the property. A lovely base to return to after a days adventure.

Good location for walks and beaches.

Excellent facilities in property and plenty of space.

we had to cancel this holiday as my husband had a knee replacement operation t short notice.

we had to isolate for a month. we successfully changed the booking to next May and would like to thank your staff and the owners for the help and co-operation we received. we are SO looking forward to our next holiday with you. many thanks

The cottage, although in a small isolated village, is centrally located so travelling around Cornwall is easy.

It’s very clean and well kept, with everything you could want to make your stay extremely comfortable. Plenty of things to keep both adults and children entertained as described in the write up. The garden is lovely and sunny, furniture and some outdoor games available. There is a pub serving delicious food at reasonable prices, with a very friendly atmosphere just a few steps away. The only negative I can think of is that the garage is only big enough for a small car, I have a mini and it just fit, and the parking area is only big enough for 1 car so if you take more than 1 car you might struggle, but saying that all the benefits out way the negative. I would recommend this cottage to both couples and families. Thanks for a fantastic stay, we hope to return next year.

The holiday cottage slept 6 people yet the fridge wasn't big enough for 2 people.

The kitchen has no storage / empty cupboards for you to put food in. The second bedroom had no chest of drawers despite their being room for them so my clothes were left on the floor :( The twin bedroom had the tiniest chest of drawers that you could hardly fit any clothes in. The property smelt of damp especially in the bedrooms where you could hang clothes. The property opposite & to the side of the cottage was doing building work the whole time we were there so it felt like we were on a building site. Not worth the money at all very disappointing.

The cottage had more than we expected.

It was very cosy and warm. There were no limitation s or rules for us to follow. The key safe worked very well. We had a great time. It was a great place to come home to during a rainy week.

This cottage is advertised for 6 people we were a party of 4 adults(2 couples) and 2 teenagers .

The second double bedroom is too small we had to turn round a bedside cabinet so the door to the room would shut without hitting the cabinet. The other side of the bed the drawer of the bedside cabinet could not be opened due to the radiator . The windowsill was the only place to stand toiletries etc . There was only one chair. So with a small drawer cabinet in the wardrobe there was a lack of storage space. The fridge in the kitchen was not sufficient to store supplies for 6 people, important as there is no local shop. The worktops are cluttered and thus difficult to prepare food. As we had nice sunny weather we were disappointed as we were unable to hang out washing to dry . I am aware there was a washer/ dryer but not everything is suitable for that.

We all enjoyed our stay in Trelan.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable and very well equipped! The local pub was very good and friendly. Good food. Close to The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan! And lovely quiet beaches nearby. On the whole a lovely relaxing holiday!

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped and true to photographs as advertised, I do feel that sink drains need to be cleaned and sterilised after each occupancy the kitchen sink was clogged and causing a nasty smell.

, but after a bottle of bleach and a boiling water it was cleared . The expel-air in the en-suite needed to be cleaned was very dirty, and dust behind the chest of drawers in master bedroom just needs a feather duster down it again after every occupancy. I feel because of these few details I have mentioned it was overpriced.

Sykes app worked perfect.

Contact by online chat too. The holidayhome was one of the best we ever had rented.

This cottage is fantastic, a real wow when you walk thro the door.

Set in a lovely little village, the local pub serves delicious meals and is both warm and friendly. Central for most of the attractions in the area. Would definitely return to this cottage and to Cornwall.

The scones, jam and cream were especially welcome on arrival.

The local pub was excellent for its atmosphere and food.

Beautiful well kept and tasteful cottage.

Definitely hope to return. Couldn't have wished for more with the added bonus of the village pub less than a minutes walk away!

Everything we could have wanted was to hand - the only item we missed was having a washing line but we managed.

The cottage is extremely comfortable and felt great to return to after a lovely day out. Cornish Cottage Holidays were very helpful when we had a problem with the en suite toilet - the problem was sorted the same day.

The washing machine/drier may be on its last legs; sounds like a Boeing 747 on take off!
