  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!

  Many thanks for your kind feedback. So glad you had a lovely stay. Love to see you again. Property Owner

• "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 feedback and very much appreciated. We would love to see you again. Thankyou. Property Owner

• "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.

  I am sorry that you were not happy with the cottage and only wish you had said something while you were there as we could have taken immediate steps to recify the situation. It is an old cottage and cobwebs and small bugs are something we cannot control. They just happen overnight ! The window upstairs opens and closes but in wet weather it can be a bit tight. Sorry about that. Regarding heating, there are heaters in all the rooms and an incredibly efficient woodburner with a large supply of logs. Most people comment that when when the woodburner is going it can get too warm. I expect that the bad weather we had when you were staying didn't really help. Unfortunately there is very little I can do about that. Property Owner

  Many thanks for your feedback. As you will see from our overall customer feedback, we have many very satisfied guests staying all year round at our cottage. It is therefore a great shame that you feel it necessary to find fault In the accommodation. I will not respond to your comments and criticisms, many of which are unfounded. That would be petty. I trust that in future you will find accommodation which is more suited to your needs. Property Owner

  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

  Not really sure why the feedback score is so low. It as been very wet and colder than normal for the time of year. However the woodburner is a real bonus and trust that you will be back again.Thanks. Property Owner

• "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.

  Annette, many thanks for very kind comments. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Would love to see you and your family/friends again. Property Owner

• "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.

  Many thanks Paul. Always good to know that people have had a good time. We're lucky to be in a part of Cornwall that doesn't get flooded with tourists and it's nice to know that people appreciate it ! Property Owner

  Loved the mid century style of decor and really enjoyed learning how to use a log burning stove for cosy nights in.

• "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.

• "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.

• "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.

  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!
