Treverbyn Smithy

Lovely place to stay, owners were really friendly and approachable.

Their advice on walks and places to visit were spot on. And we loved the morning greetings when we were heading to the car from Albie the Corgi. Also loved the features that gave a nod to the buildings original use. It was such a peaceful place and a really good pub not far away.

This was a lovely cottage near a great pub, the property was clean and had everything you need for a weekend away.

The fact that they allow dogs is great. The instructions to get there were spot on as it is in the middle of nowhere. I will definitely come back. Laurie

Very happy with Mike the owner letting us extend our stay.

Very friendly would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Quaint well equipped little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Well equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare and enjoy a good meal, comfortable beds and lots of history and information about the smithy. Lovely friendly owners next door who were always on hand to help and offer advice on the area. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of the country and were lucky enough to have nice weather too but on wet days the sports room is a great touch which we also enjoyed.

Peaceful Stay in a Lovely Cottage Setting We stayed in this 2-bedroom cottage and found it to be a really relaxing and peaceful retreat.

Like any place, it has its pros and cons, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Pros: Perfect Location: Very quiet and secluded – ideal for unwinding. Just be aware that the roads leading to the cottage are quite narrow, which can be a bit tricky. Good Base for Exploring: About a 1.5-hour drive to Land's End, which we visited, and only 25 minutes to Looe – a beautiful fishing village we highly recommend. Close to Local Amenities: The nearest pub and shop are just 1.5 miles away. Family-Friendly Features: There's a games room with a pool table and darts – great for both small and big kids! Outdoor Space: The private front area is perfect for picnics or a BBQ. Excellent Host: Very helpful and proactive, even emailed us local walk recommendations before our stay. Cons: Minor Maintenance Issues: The toilet door didn't close or lock properly, and the front door was hard to shut without lifting it to lock. Spiders: Lots of spider webs – not really the owner's fault as they kept returning, but bring spray if you're not a fan. Shower Limitations: The shower is quite small – fine for a quick hair wash, but not suitable for a full adult shower. Baths only. Overall: We loved the cottage – it’s charming and peaceful, though it could use a bit of TLC in places. In our personal opinion, it may not be ideal for families with small children, as the two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the cottage with the front door in between. That said, it’s perfect for couples looking for a quiet getaway or as a base for exploring the surrounding area.

We absolutely loved it here and couldn’t recommend it more.

The cottage is utterly charming and is the perfect base, being so centrally located - we got to see so much of Cornwall in just one week! And, after busy days exploring, we thoroughly enjoyed curling up by the cosy fireside and soaking up the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside. Thank you to Mike and family and of course, Freddie the doggo, for such a wonderful week. Warmest wishes, from the very sun baked Brummie gang, Ciaran, Donna, Gizmo and Biscuit

The place was very dirty we had to hoover when we went in I’m sorry the owner was nice but I’m sorry it wasn’t very good

Great experience following Christmas in the Smithy.

Christmas tree was a nice touch. Off-road Parking was very useful. Very friendly and helpful owners living next door.

Cottage was very comfortable and well presented.

Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay, the property is interesting and comfortable and we were provided with all the information we needed.

The host Mike is very friendly and helpful, and our son really enjoyed having the games room available. Thanks you!

Another wonderful stay at Treverbyn Smithy cottage.

We were blessed with beautiful weather. The cottage is full of character, cosy and peaceful. A gem of a find for a relaxed break away. Great for walkers , dog owners and a good central base for exploring cornwall. The london Inn up the road does delicious food too!

We all had a very enjoyable stay at Treverbyn Smithy.

It is a lovely cottage in a nice quiet spot, yet still in easy reach of villages and busier towns. The beds were very comfortable, the whole cottage was very clean and well maintained, our dog enjoyed the field opposite and our children loved the swing! All of us had several fun evenings playing pool in the games room. Mike is a great host, we found the information in the welcome pack very useful in terms of local walks, and it was interesting to learn about the history of the building before it became a cottage. We especially liked how some of the original features of the forge have been retained. We'd all love to return one day in the near future!

Lovely location VERY private Welcoming host Shower not good for taller people!

! TV took bit of working out ( Remote?) Also pity no access to internet in TV Bit overall very pleased indeed

The cottage was full of spider webs inside the cabinets.

Bathtub was dirty with hair. The window in the room upstairs were broken and didn’t close. It was so cold. Our daughters had to sleep in the living room on the sofas. In both bedrooms were bugs. I understand it’s an old cottage, but cleaning and keeping it warm to stay should be the owners priority.

Simply divine.

The cottage was soo quaint and a fabulous location. Our hosts were very kind friendly and helpful I’ll recommend to all my friends and I would stay there again. Thank you

Definitely summer property, not suitable for winter breaks .

Heating - electric radiators , no heating in gaming room , po power in gaming room cable has to be dragged over the road, roof leaks there as well . Mould in kitchen wall , can’t open windows , blocked toilet , 4 table spoons in total at property . No equipment to play your own music or smart tv, temperamental fridge one day does work next not …half food went to bin . Last day tile from roof went down with rain

Excellent short break.

Mike responded promptly to our pre-arrival queries. Lovely character cottage in a peaceful location.

My mum and I spent the most wonderful week at the cottage.

We were blessed with excellent weather , and it was a great base to explore all our favourite places. The cottage was so quaint , we instantly felt relaxed since the location was so peaceful, with just the occasional passing car. The owner lives next door and he was helpful and available when needed. He left lots of useful information on local walks, pubs etc. We definitely hope to return in the future.

Lovely, cute, comfortable traditional cottage - just what I was after for a solo escape with my dogs.

Situated in a beautiful part of corneal, beautiful local walks around, you feel like your miles away from the world, yet easy access to local shops such as Morrison or Aldi within 15 mins, 20-30 min drive to the beach and harbour towns, perfect location for me! The cottage was tidy, clean and most importantly the bed was so comfortable! I really enjoy my time and will definitely be back! Mike and sally are lovely accommodating people, who were friendly to speak to and also provided lots of information before arrival and packs in the cottage when you arrive so you can get your bearings. 10/10 for me and exactly what I was after.

The Smithy is a stunning property in beautiful surroundings.

Michael met us and showed us around and told us of the history of the buildings. The Smithy was cleaned to a very high standard and has everything that you could wish for as far as equipment. There is a games room that would put many a pub to shame and there’s bikes and barbecues and a lovely field/garden to relax in. The wood burner was great and made for cozy evenings after a day’s travelling around the stunning countryside and beautiful villages. Looe, Polperro, Fowey and Mevagissey are within easy reach and Bodmin Moor is on the doorstep. The Golitha Falls are a must-see and are within walking distance. Thank you Michael and family, you really thought of everything. Best regards, Bob and Carol

Cosy Cottage but you definitely need the log burner

Lovely cottage, great location and just what we needed.

Thanks Mike for all the helpful advice and responding so quickly.

Treverbyn Smithy is a wonderful little bolthole just on the edge of Bodmin Moor.

With its lovely oak beams and welcoming log fire, the smithy made for the perfect romantic break for our wedding anniversary. Extremely dog friendly, which is always the most important thing to us as we have an ageing Rough Collie. Mike, the owner, and his family were really nice people, nothing was too much trouble, they were there if you needed them but were totally unobtrusive. We really enjoyed our time at Treverbyn and have recommended the cottage to our family and friends.

Lovely location, nicely presented building and very peaceful.

Central in East Cornwall for easy travel to other places. Mike the owner and his family were very helpful and friendly, you couldn't have asked for anything more. The property and kitchen were well equipped and furnished in keeping with the building but had many modern appliances. Nice large garden opposite the Smithy to sit out in and relax. Highly recommended for a stress free holiday.

Absolutely loved our holiday.

Mike and his partner were lovely and welcoming. It was so nice to just arrive, switch off and relax. It was great to see that they had thought of everything from having board games available to a BBQ. Couldn't be happier and will certainly stay again. Thanks again to you both, missing it already.

Another amazing stay at the beautiful smithy ♡ Mike & family are just wonderful, so friendly & helpful!

We adore the lovely smithy, beds are super comfy, such character in the cottage - a perfect base camp to explore beautiful Cornwall! Close to amenities but feel a world away while relaxing at the peaceful cottage. The games room was fantastic fun in the evenings too - thank you for a an amazing break away!

A lovely little cottage, ideal for our week away.

The rooms, although not what I would describe as luxurious, were comfortable and there was a lovely country feel to it. The hosts were very helpful and left a great information pack. We played in the games room a few times, this could do with a tidy up as it was quite dusty and could be a real star feature with little effort. Great location for sightseeing. We would stay there again.

Super location in central Cornwall with easy access to north or south coast, whilst still being in a very peaceful spot.

Great walks available from the door. Very helpful host for whom nothing was too much trouble.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage!

Loved the mid century style of decor and really enjoyed learning how to use a log burning stove for cosy nights in. Mike, the owner, was incredibly helpful in recommending local walks and places to visit and gave great tips on the best routes! A beautiful and peaceful setting, we felt totally relaxed and refreshed after our holiday.

Great location for sightseeing, walking and Cornwall in general.

The woodburner is great for those cosy nights in. Excellent host / property owner.

The Smithy is in a good location for access to north and south coastal towns and villages.

It’s very peaceful. We discovered plenty of dog friendly pubs providing excellent food at locations a short drive from the Smithy. The Plough at Duloe was particularly good. The owner of The Smithy lives next door and is very friendly and approachable.

The owner was very helpful with information on local walks , shops etc .

Lovely area for walking around Bodmin straight from the house plus local coast line and dog friendly beaches.

The property was as described, the kids enjoyed the games room.

Mike was very helpful with hints and tips of things to do and places to see. Would highly recommend the circular walk on the door step and a visit to the Cheesewrings on Bodmin Moor. Any trips/activities you will need to book in advance, we couldn’t get onto any fishing/boat trips, but did get a last minute booking for Alpaca trekking which was only a little further than Golitha falls and was the highlight of our break. Only downside (besides the weather), was limited wifi and mobile signal, which wasn’t too surprising given rural location.

Lovely Cottage in a very peaceful setting.

Mike the owner is very helpful and even made my wife a cup of tea and gave me a much needed cold beer when we arrived !!

Great holiday house with everything needed.

Games room was a bonus and we enjoyed playing pool, darts and table tennis in the evenings. Beautiful location in the countryside. Nearby pub a pleasant 30mins walk and was great with good food

Our host Mike was very friendly and informative.

A beautiful little cottage in a truly peaceful setting

Our host Mike was delightfully charming and very helpful whilst leaving us able to enjoy the peace and solitude of the location, and lovely walks around the area.

The only negative was the shower which proved hard to adjust but did not worry us overly. Thank you Mike and we hope to see you again!

Very friendly welcome from a laid back owner who goes out of his way to ensure you have a good stay at his property.

The hedgerows in the lanes around the cottage are a must see. They are like vertical wild flower meadows and absolutely stunning . I would however caution visitors to keep children and pets on a very short leash as the lanes are extremely narrow with blind bends and not all vehicles drive sensibly. For rainy days (every day on our holiday!) the games room across the lane was an unusual and very welcome addition to the cottage facilities.

We had a lovely and relaxing time at the cottage.

It is very comfortable and warm. The log burner was lit when we arrived which was wonderful!. There is a small river not far that is absolutely gorgeous. The owner was very helpful and resolved an issue with the internet very quickly. Highly recommended :)

Due to the covid restrictions we did lose some of our holiday not being able to get into the cottage until 4pm and be out by 9am, saying that though it was very comforting and reassuring that it was clean and safe for us to enter.

Mike was very friendly and helpful. The cottage was delightful, perfect to return to after walking all day.

A quiet and restful holiday away from it all but with amenities close by.

The property was clean and comfortable as expected, the only minor problem was a small bathroom and wash basin which could make it difficult for a large person, however, there is no way the owner could get around this problem. A very enjoyable property and holiday, would stay there again.

Spent lovely few days at Treverbyn Smithy.

The cottage was full of character - it did not disappoint in terms of facilities. The owner lives next door and was very helpful with his local knowledge.

Lovely cottage in great isolated location.

Very comfy. Great games room. Owner fantastic. Really helpful :) Lots of spiders tho!!!

Perfect family accommodation for our holiday - The Smithy is rustic & charming, the beds super comfortable & location wise, perfect for exploring beautiful Cornwall!

The host Mike is a wonderful & friendly man (along with Teddy the dog!) who went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay, tips for days out & places to eat etc. Having use of the games room was amazing, we loved playing pool & snooker in the evenings & on one particular rainy day! Would love to visit again!

We had a lovely holiday at Treverbyn Smithy, the cottage was cozy and warm, the owner was very nice and available.

We enjoyed the secludedness of the place, it's the perfect location when you want to stay away from crowded places and it's not too far from all the main attractions of the region.

Great area to stay to get away from the general business of life, Mike the owner was great in welcoming us & his local knowledge & recommending places to eat, there was an informative booklet in The Smithy as well, our nearest neighbour were spring lambs & primroses in the hedgerows.

The village of St Neot has a village shop, church with beautiful Medevial stained glass windows .The landlady at the London Inn welcomes us with local beverages & a roaring fire in these uncertain times, on our last day the Governent announced the shut down of pubs restaurants many were being entrepreneurial during this unprecedented time.

This is a lovely quirky cottage in a beautiful quiet setting.

The owner was really great friendly and helpful. We loved the log burner and the comfortable living room. The kitchen has everything you need. Be aware though this is a period converted building so it has character and history over modernness. WiFi is good, rush hour appears to be 2 cars and 4 horses! We really enjoyed it.

The location of this cosy cottage exceeds expectations, tranquil tucked away amoungst typical Cornish country lanes with only the sounds of nature, and lovely dog walks literally on your doorstep.

Pure countryside escapism from the moment you arrive and see the delightful Smithy. Once over the threshold the warm cosy atmosphere instantly delights.

Very quiet and peaceful.

Unfortunately the Wi-fi dropped out towards the end but who needs Wi-fi when you’ve got all that surrounding countryside!?

Thanks again, fabulous Cottage in ideal location for exploring the county.

Mike was also extremely helpful guiding on local places to visit . Thank you again!

Perfect location to visit every corner of Cornwall

We had the most amazing stay, nothing is too much trouble for Mike and the cottage is beautiful.

Set in a stunning place everything is just about on your doorstop.we loved it that much we had booked our next stay before we had even left!

Treverbyn Smithy was exactly as described.

The hosts/owners are very friendly and approachable. Only had a short break there and the weather was atrocious and with log burner going full tilt "why venture out"? A very relaxing few days and if get chance again wouldn't hesitate to rebook and return.

The cottage was so quirky and comfortable,a unique holiday experience.

Located in a extremely quiet and peaceful location surrounded by countryside and fresh air.Ideally located for exploring the beautiful cornish countryside.The owner was very friendly yet unobtrusive,and very helpful...a very nice man!

We had a fabulous time at Treverbyn Smithy, just what we needed.

The cottage itself was super cosy and, although we didn't get to meet Mike, he was incredibly helpful having left us lots of information on notes with tips and recommendations too. The kitchen was well stocked with all utensils you could possibly need and Mike had got the woodburner prepared for us so all we needed to do was light it on arrival. It was ideally located in that it felt really out of the way but it was easy to access all kinds of walks and the nearby village of St Neot is a delight. Would recommend doing the Two Valleys Walk (as long as you are brave enough to walk through cow fields) and a walk up Rough Tor is not to be missed - it certainly blew the cobwebs off! Golitha Falls and Minions were also great. Our dog definitely enjoyed the vast amount of walks available! All in all we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend to anyone who'd listen!

Lovely cosy cottage with lots room & cosy with the log fire.

In the middle of nowhere which was nice... the only downside was no central heating,we were there in February so was v cold. Mike the owner v nice & friendly. Overall thoroughly enjoyed it so did my dogs
