Trethurffe Manor Reviews

Ron

Trethurffe Manor is in a secluded and quiet setting in it's own extensive grounds. It must once have been a splendid family home and still has charm and interest. We particularly loved the large kitchen table. We were 6 adults and 3 children (9,5,1) and had pleanty of room. We enjoyed the location and it's proximity to Truro and easy access to both North and South coasts. Also, the beds and bedding were first class. Some aspects of the house are however rather 'tired' and in need of some TLC.

Sarah

We brought our 4 adult children & their partners plus 2 dogs for a week. The house was great, very spacious with lots of areas for everyone to spread out, they loved the games room, the kitchen is brilliant for meals & board games. Plenty of bathrooms & toilets which was important. Loved the log burner & a great location for lots of local attractions. David was really helpful with any questions we had. The house would definitely benefit from a bit of TLC but that didn't spoil our visit at all.

David

The house is set in beautiful grounds, nicely secluded and peaceful. Inside is quirky and spaciousââ?¬â?took a bit to get our bearings! Plenty of amenities for a large group. We loved the games room with pool/table tennis and football table. While the property could use a renovation to refresh it, it was comfy and made a great base for our travels.

Tina

We have just returned from a week away at Trethurffe Manor, the house is perfect for a large family gathering, the games rooms and tennis courts were an added bonus. The house is fully equipped with all utensils and everything you could ask for to make a self catering holiday just perfect. The house is within easy reach of many beautiful beaches. We had an absolutely amazing time and canââ?¬â?¢t wait to go back. Highly recommend.

Michael

We had a lovely holiday at the property which is well located for getting around Cornwall and visiting local attractions. There were 10 of us in the group and the property was very well equiped to cater for a large group with plenty of crockery, cutelry and pans etc. The property was very homely and the gardens and facilities great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would be very happy to stay there again in the future and to recommend to others.

George

We really enjoyed our stay at Trethurrfe Manor- it was clean, warm and comfortable and well equipped with things to do for all ages and well located for Truro and trips to both coasts. Some parts of the house could do with refurbishing but it suited our group of six adults and four children very well.

Susan

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay..was a really special & lovely week.. location is perfect, equi-distance for visiting places around Truroââ?¬¦ old house is marvellous, in a wonderful setting & safe to let kids run around.. the house is well provided with everything & a lovely gesture of scrumptious welcome pack, milk in the fridge & teabags, wine..all appreciated..esp large family of 12,kids,adults, house really big & spacious, plenty of room for us all, great games room, tennis court.. Lovely time!!

Carol

What an amazing house! Full of character with many areas to relax/play/enjoy. My favourite area outside: walled garden with roses and sun loungers. Tennis court was well used. Snug was ideal for children, including toys and games console. All twelve of us could sit comfortably in the lounge. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with dishes, utensils, every item we needed. Plenty of room to all eat together. Ample hot water. Six toilets! A comfortable, quirky, older house that we loved!

Christina

Loads of space: 2 fridge freezers, two cookers in 2 kitchens and 2 lounges plus a games room. Fantastic welcome pack.
