    “T is a lovely house in a wonderful position.”

    It is well appointed with good quality furniture & fittings and good quality linen/towels. Accordingly a stay at Tregoninny should be a lovely experience - but alas it was not! It is let down by 3 things: (1) Lack of proper management/maintenance (2) Poor channels of communication (3) A complete lack of instructions in the house. A list of the main problems we encountered on arrival: (1) No heating on in main house. No information on where to find the controls. On finding them it was clear the ...

    It is well appointed with good quality furniture & fittings and good quality linen/towels. Accordingly a stay at Tregoninny should be a lovely experience - but alas it was not! It is let down by 3 things: (1) Lack of proper management/maintenance (2) Poor channels of communication (3) A complete lack of instructions in the house. A list of the main problems we encountered on arrival: (1) No heating on in main house. No information on where to find the controls. On finding them it was clear the managers had turned on the hot water but the heating was completely off. (2) No heating in the dining room & annexe bedrooms. Again no instructions anywhere. We had to use electric heaters until heating engineer came (2 days later) & found the boiler had cut out. Why was this not noticed before our arrival? (3) On the 1st evening the dishwasher leaked. We reported it. It got worse on the Saturday morning - so we stopped using it. All week we had no dishwasher & nobody made any real effort to solve the problem quickly. That was 17 of us all over age 70 washing up everything by hand! (4) There are no keys for 2 of the bedrooms in the barn. It means they cannot be secured when people are out. This was mentioned & it appeared this had been the case for some time. Why have new keys not been cut? (5) There were masses of dead flies in the rooms upstairs in the farmhouse. They were in most bedrooms & the games room had at least 100 mainly on the window sills. Lots of "dopey" flies too which were easy to kill. Clearly all these flies started life inside the house & were trying to get out. Clearly nobody from the property managers had been anywhere near the house for some time (& certainly not on our day of arrival as promised). (6) On the Sunday the conservatory roof leaked badly. We used towels & a bucket. Friends visited during the week & they had stayed at Tregoninny the previous autumn - the roof leaked then! Clearly nothing done about it. Likewise with the nails protruding from the conservatory chairs mentioned in a previous review. (7) The main cooker didn't work on arrival. After 2 phone calls it transpired the isolator switch was off. We had hunted everywhere for it. It is on the opposite wall about 12 feet away! No instructions again. We contacted Sykes on Friday about the heating. They promised a call back from either themselves or the owners. Neither called back. We also told the management company about the problems but they said they'd let the owners know. Thankfully the vineyard manager lives onsite & though it wasn't his job he was the only person who did anything - got the heating engineer & the maintenance guys to visit. Message to the owners: We see occupancy rates in 2024 have been low even after you reduced prices. The property is very good. All it needs is a bit of TLC by addressing the 3 issues at the start of this review. That wouldn't cost very much & you'd see a much better occupancy rate.

The property

Engulfed by green countryside and its own private woodland, with vineyards and farmland amounting to 194 acres, this beautiful farmhouse is nestled near the village of Tresillian in Cornwall.

Just a few miles outside of Truro, with designated walks right from the doorstep and plenty to see and do in the surrounding area, this accommodation is perfect for large groups and family celebrations.

The lounge is fabulously uplifted by beamed ceilings and large plush sofas, with artwork and upholstery brightening up the place.

A luxurious range cooker warms up the kitchen, complimented by granite worktops, a breakfast island and modern cooking equipment to use at your leisure.

Sit in the grand dining room at mealtimes and gossip over the adventures you have had so far.

The patio doors stream in plenty of natural light, illuminating the woodwork and high vaulted ceiling.

At one corner is a snug area, where you can lounge the days away with a good book.

You can always choose the conservatory as your resting spot, with sumptuous seating and a woodburning stove to keep your toes nice and toasty.

A wonderful set of bedrooms rest on the first floor, with a double and a twin room on the ground floor for easy access.

The vast gardens and pretty patio to the front of the cottage are simply ideal for relaxing with a drink, whilst the children explore further afield, the large lower garden is also perfect for adventures no matter what the weather.

Tresillian is a quaint village offering riverside walks and further south, Truro boasts many shops, bars and restaurants.

Take a trip to Falmouth and stroll along the harbour with fish and chips or head across to the Roseland Peninsula to discover wooded countryside and secluded coves.

A fabulous region to explore from the ideal base!

About the location

TRESILLIAN

Truro 3 miles; Tregony 4.3 miles; Portloe 8.3 miles, Perranport, 12 miles, Falmouth 14 miles

This small creekside village is nestled in mid Cornwall, three miles east of Truro. The meaning of the village translates to "a place of eels" in the Cornish language, according to a 19th century writer. However since then it has been translated to "farm/settlement of a man called Sulyen". Within the village is a small number of older buildings including a Grade II listed thatched Inn. Set in the Cornish countryside, Tresillian retains a largely rural character, with the advantage of not being too far away from Cornwall's capital. There is a mixture of pastoral and arable farming in the surrounding area and one of the prettiest riverside walks in Cornwall can be accessed from the western end of the village. Truro offers a good range of independent shops as well as art galleries, bars, restaurants, a cinema and a theatre. The architecture will intrigue those who visit along with plenty of things to do and see. Just meandering through the Georgian cobbled streets is a pleasure in itself. Day trips can be had to Falmouth, along the stunning Fal estuary, where its natural harbour and beaches will keep you occupied for hours. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by rocky coves and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will inspire those looking for awe and wonder, with a vast region of fabulous walking, delightful creeks and tranquil beaches. A fabulous area you will want to return to!
