Niki

A large group of us stayed, it was great to have a bath room each, the whole house was well equipt and in a great location. The owners were great and more than happy to help with any thing we asked.

Amy

Treleavan Farmhouse is a wonderful place! We, as a party of 15, found it perfectly spacious and set out. We could enjoy eachother's company, but also have space for ourselves. It accommodated all our needs, with a downstairs bedroom for those less able to manage stairs, and all upstairs bedrooms had an ensuite. The views are spectacular. All-in-all a wonderful place for a large party to have some much needed time away, in a beautiful setting! Would highly recommend!

Paul

Fantastic house for multi-generational families. We had children and grandchildren. Pool in garden excellent. Mevagissey is a short walk away. Many attractions there and nearby.

Jane

A spacious comfy house with excellent equipment in the kitchen. Really good separate areas for cooking and washing up-not in each others way! Fabulous swimming pool, lovely views, easy access to village and a good hilly walk across to small beach nearby. Very friendly owner. Always helpful.

Margaret

An excellent base for a family holiday and set in a wonderful garden with a stunning view. All our thanks to Mrs Hennah for a memorable holiday.

Hannah

Great house in a fab location. Great to have ensuites with every room. Well equipped kitchen, nice to have 2 sitting areas. Beautiful views as lovely pool.

Kathleen

A very comfortable stay enjoyed by all

John

We had a lovely week in the house. The kitchen and dining room are well equipped and easy to use. The en-suite bathrooms are very small and quite difficult to use in some cases. It's a pleasant walk down to the town and the gardens will be lovely in summer. The neighbours had a dog which seemed to be let loose and barked a lot.

Paul

Great cottage for large groups. 16 of us were here for my wife's 60th . The location was perfect with only a 5 min walk into town. Everything was great with the house and all our group agreed and had a great time. We would definitely recommend this place .

Jayne

Beautiful big house with amazing views. The kitchen is stocked with every peice of equipment you could need. The bedrooms are lovely and clean with some of the rooms having amazing views of mevagissey. The owner left some fresh baked scones with jam and clotted cream, they were very tasty. We had a large party of family there and had lots of space. We stayed in Spacious House for 8 in Southwell. There is a hill upto the house which is steep but we all managed to walk into Mevagissey.

Jennifer

We had a brilliant week - thankyou. The location was perfect and we had everything we needed for our large family gathering. The pool was excellent and well used by the children big and small. The approach to the farmhouse provided us with our daily workouts and the restaurants, shops and, more importantly, the ice cream parlours were only a short walk away. A great holiday.

Matthew

A stunning house set in a beautiful location just before Mevagissey. This meant that we could easily shop in St Austell without the trauma of driving through town! We all walked into Mevagissey, and could look around without having to park there. The pool is extremely large, and is fenced, as is the patio area. Very useful for the littlies. The gardens are stunning with pheasants and squirrels abounding, plus bats in the evening. Lovely place to stay for a large group.

Julie

This was our 2nd visit to this house. Pool in the garden was perfect for the kids ( and the big kids). The house is huge and has everything you need. We had a fantastic time. Ideal base for travelling about or Lodge for 8 in Westward Ho.

Trevor

Thoroughly enjoyable long weekend, suitable for large gatherings spacious accommodation with lovely outside areas. Not a modern property maybe a little dated but fully functional.
