  • "Lovely house!"

    Very clean and tidy, with great technology and we felt safe and secure during our stay. Games Room in garage was fun and warm. Loads of room for 8 people (5 of us stayed), with room to move around inside and out. The extensive balconies were a welcome addition too. Great rear uninterrupted views, with nearby walks/cycle tracks to explore. We couldn't adjust the underfloor heating despite a supplied user manual, which made the home too warm during our stay! Speak to owners... The internet signal was weak, but understandable given the location. More mirrors and storage/wardrobes in bedrooms to do make-up, store clothes etc. suggested. A carpet/mat by lounge patio doors to keep floor clean and dry? An air fryer in kitchen also suggested. Constant main road noise at front and metal company at rear (weekdays), could be an issue for some if windows and or doors open. Hence 9/10 recommendation, if not used to general external noise. The large hot tub was a family favourite and cleaned/checked by owners every day and not overlooked! We didn't hear the neighbours at all despite being semi-detached. Overall a lovely home, in a great location (not withstanding the noise). Lovely hosts. Extremely comfortable with spacious rooms, clean, modern, fully equipped and above all, safe. Best holiday house we've ever stayed at!

    Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We were sorry to hear that you were unable to adjust the underfloor heating, had you contacted us at the time we would have been more than happy to either talk you through it or pop over to sort it for you. As you are aware the property is a three-storey house, so it is difficult to situate the WiFi router where you can access the internet on both the top floor plus outside on the patio area. We have taken on board your comments regarding a mat by the lounge patio doors and an air fryer for the kitchen. There is just the one bedroom in the house, which is too small to fit a wardrobe in, but we do have hooks on the wall for hanging clothes and a chest of drawers for storage. The noise from the main road can only be heard when you are at the front of the property, for example accessing your car. Majority of the outside space (seating, hot tub etc) is situated to the rear of the property, so you don't hear the noise of the road. Property Owner

    The property is absolutely stunning. Lots of modern features and overall a beautiful place to stay. It is going to be hard to find a property as stunning as this. If you have children the games room is fantastic the owner has thought of everything. I would 100% book again to stay at this amazing property.

  • "This holiday home is perfect in every way."

    It is immaculate, homely and there is nothing it doesn’t have. It is STUNNING, MODERN with the most BEAUTIFUL views!! It is perfectly located with lots of beautiful places to visit: the Eden Project, Truro Cathedral and Trelissick National Trust. Although we visited for Christmas, the beaches are still just as beautiful and there are several to visit including Perranporth and Loe Beach. There are beautiful local walks, pubs within a mile and Truro town centre about a 10 minute drive. There’s an Aldi and Tesco Superstore, so you can pick up your groceries, beverages or any basic necessities you might have left behind. The owner is super helpful and will actually go above and beyond. Gave us a full tour and went over anything we wasn’t sure about or how to use. E.g. How to turn on the hot tub, use the EV Charger…. Honestly, there is everything onsite: Patio heaters, travel cot, baby gates, board games even olive oil, washing powder, herbs and salt & pepper. If you are not sure about anything you need to take, message ahead because I guarantee you probably don’t need it. The only thing I couldn’t find were baby monitors and the owner immediately offered to go purchase. This was super kind but we didn’t need them in all honesty, this demonstrates how the owner will go above and beyond to make your stay as safe and as comfortable as possible. We loved every minute and look forward to revisiting in summer. Thanks Sam and Carnon Gwel for the most perfect Christmas 2024!!

Where you’ll be staying

DEVORAN, CORNWALL

Penryn 4.7 miles; Truro 5.1 miles; Falmouth 7.3 miles.

The picturesque village of Devoran is set in South Cornwall, resting between Perranarworthal to the west and Carnon Downs to the east. The village is best known for playing a vital role in the tin and copper industry, previously functioning as a small port that engaged in the importing and exporting of mined minerals. Today, popular attractions include the natural landscapes of Devoran Park and Devoran Creek, along with the historic landmark of The Quay, whilst visitors can also indulge in some traditional pub grub at The Old Quay Inn, the Norway Inn in Perranarworthal or the Carnon Inn Beefeater in Carnon Downs. A short drive from the village will bring you to the coastal town of Falmouth, which is home to Pendennis Castle, Falmouth Art Gallery, National Maritime Museum Cornwall and the lush sands of Gyllyngvase Beach.
