Trefebus Reviews

Paul
A fab house in a fab location if a little dated in parts.
Susie
Lovely house in stunning location overlooking Trevose golf course and Constantine Bay - super comfortable and clean - would thoroughly recommend.
Kim
Lovely house, shame about the showers for our trip but hopefully the owners will get them repaired in time for other people.
Lesley
This spacious cottage sits in a lovely position within easy walking distance of the beach & coastal paths, village shop (& pubs if you are happy to walk a mile or two). Well heated and has a beautiful sitting room with good views of the sea. Large garden although not enclosed. Table tennis in conservatory but seems a little cold in this room - would be good in summer though. Would like to see some updated information provided within the cottage and could do with some maintenance here and there & removal of some items stored in kitchen cupboards and drawers. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here!
Adrian
Large warm comfortable house for bringing family together on a holiday break. Sweeping beaches a short walk away, fantastic for dog walking
Alison
Perfect house for multi generational holidays with lots of space. Fabulous views. Very good location for beaches and golf courses. Needs a little updating to bring it up to the standard of other houses in this price bracket.
Perella
The property was perfect for our holiday. We had lots of different ages staying and we all had so much space either to be together or do our own thing. It was very comfortable, the views were stunning and the house was very well insulated from the inevitable moments of stormy weather.
Lucy
Lovely house in a beautiful location.
Anna
Great house, fabulous position, could do with an update to beds and bedding to make it a bit more comfortable. Outside space is untidy.
Lou
Stunning house in a stunning location! The views across the golf course to Constantine bay were gorgeous and the sunsets even better! House is comfy and well equipped, & although only 8 of us stayed in the house, there was plenty of room. Would recommend to anyone looking to spend some time walking, golfing and exploring!
Bruce
This house is very special. It has a wonderful location, lots of space and great views from the sitting room. We didnâ??t use the balcony as it was too cold but I imagine in the summer it would be amazing. Our kids loved the table tennis room.
Jeffrey
Very well equipped and furnished in an excellent location.
