Trenant Reviews

Rhiannon
This property is fab for a big group! Itâ??s spacious, cosy and comfortable. Great location for being central to travel to other places in Cornwall, very small, quaint village, however looking back weâ??d of probably preferred a bit of a busier location. Lounge area is great for chilling out, sofaâ??s are comfy and can seat at-least 3 people comfortably on each! Bedrooms are good sizes, beds are very comfortable, shower in en-suite is amazing! House is very warm in the summer needed windows / doors open in evenings to cool it down. Outside furniture was great! However only thing we would have liked (being picky) was the sun in the evening. Kitchen was great for cooking, large table available and pots, pans, cutlery ect. Overall we loved our stay here, we would definitely recommend to others and would come back again :)
Paul
Great base for the area, accommodation was perfect, I would recommend this property to anyone, first class, brilliant
Steve
This was a great place for the family to come together to meet in Cornwall at Christmas. Its well equipped an has plenty of crockery and kitchenware to host guests to dinner. It was a comfortable and warm. Also it was really practical for our dog, with the carpet free ground floor we didn't have to worry about accidental damage to the carpets.
Gareth
Really lovely place made special by the Christmas decorations that we were not expecting and the welcome pack.
