“Lovely, well maintained and equipped cottage.”

Maybe a bit of a squeeze for more than 4 people as limited seating at the breakfast bar but there is a fold up table if needed. Beds and sofas a little soft but that’s personal preference. Has the advantage of its own parking space, much needed as parking elsewhere is not easy. Close to transport links, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again.

Jennifer July 2024

“Lovely house in an excellent peaceful location.”

Spotlessly clean and thoughtfully appointed. The house doesn’t have enough downstairs space for 6 people to eat together unless several several eat on their laps, but this wasn’t much of an issue as we mostly ate out (try the pizzeria at the end of the street!). A great stay in beautiful Cornwall!

- Jennifer, July 2024

Thank you for your review, we’re glad you had a great stay. Property Owner
Christine June 2024

“We found ‘Riverside’ to be a first class place to stay for the week.”

There were only two of us but it would accommodate 6 comfortably. The facilities and information left by the owner made it a foolproof stay and we enjoyed the TV set-up in the evenings. Everything was clean, cheerful and thoughtfully arranged. If we were to return to Cornwall we would hope to stay at Riverside again.

- Christine, June 2024

Hi Christine Thank you for your first class feedback, it's much appreciated. Hope to see you back again un the future. Property Owner
Kathleen May 2024

“Our time at Riverside has sadly come to an end, after a most comfortable 3 week stay catching up with our Cornish families.”

We certainly felt at home. Everything had been thought of to make our stay seem like a home from home and immaculately clean. The owners go above and beyond and when a hot water problem arose [through no fault of their own - these things happen], the issue was promptly rectified with apologies all round. Thankyou Glenn and Debbie for your hospitality and we hope to return in order to feed the swans who visited us at high tide.

- Kathleen, May 2024

Hi Kath & Ken, thank you so much for your lovely review, we're pleased to hear that you liked Riverside so much. We look foirward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Property Owner
Lee May 2024

“Brilliant place to stay, comfortable furniture and beds, great showers and excellent location for what we needed.”

Would highly recommend.

- Lee, May 2024

Thank you for your positive feedback and recommendation Lee, glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Catherine March 2024

“A lovely house, as can be seen from the accurate photographs.”

We came out of season, and it was cosy, as well as comfortable and practical. Beds, fixtures and equipment are all good quality. There are generous amounts of everything from storage and sockets to towels, coat hangers and dishwasher tablets. The friendly owners have clearly put a lot of thought into the property - we particularly appreciated the helpful labels for using the shower etc. Penryn is an attractive, historic town, with a variety of good places to eat and local shops. Bus and train links are good, and there is plenty to see and do locally. It is also very handy for Falmouth University, if you are visiting anyone there. We would thoroughly recommend this property, and hope to return before too long.

- Catherine, March 2024

Thank you for your fantastic review, it makes us very happy to read it. Look forward to seeing you again in the future Property Owner
Rebecca October 2023

“A comfortable, compact and clean property.”

Well-maintained and well-equipped. The lounge/kitchen and master bedroom have a pretty view over the Penryn River. The allocated parking space is very useful. There's a small breakfast bar instead of a dining table and trays are also provided. There isn't a downstairs loo and we found the double beds a little small for two adults. It's in a quiet yet central position next to the town centre, harbour and bus routes. Within easy walking distance are a good farm shop (Bailey's) and two nice eateries: Muddy Beach and Pizza Pls. The owners were helpful and responsive. We enjoyed our break in this property in this lovely part of Cornwall and would recommend.

- Rebecca, October 2023

Hi Rebecca Thank you for recommending our property. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. See you again. The two double beds in the property are of the standard 4’6” size. Property Owner
Julie October 2023

“Fantastic property in a great location, shops pub and pizza all within a short walk.”

Beaches, castles, Falmouth and the river Helston all a short drive. This is one of the best properties we have stayed at, it is well thought out with clear information on how to find anything you need. Owners went above and beyond to check all was well. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Julie, October 2023

Hi Julie That’s a fabulous review, thank you so much. Glad everything was to your liking, hope you will return in the future. Property Owner
KIM September 2023

“Beautiful holiday home in an idyllic setting.”

Home from home. We did not want to leave.the owners have thought of everything to make it so comfortable. They provided good quality items. The linen and towels are quality and the lovely beds are so comfortable. Glenn and Debbie the owner checked in on us through out our stay. I would definitely stay here again. It was absolutely perfect for us. I was sad to leave. You have a beautiful home

Kathleen July 2023

“Brilliant cottage only issue was no shaver point”

- Kathleen, July 2023

Hi Kathleen Thanks for your brilliant review, glad you liked “Riverside”. Shaver/toothbrush adapter plugs have now been provided and can be found in the drawers with the hairdryers. Property Owner
John July 2023

“A very comfortable cottage in a peaceful location (with a parking space).”

Beautifully clean throughout with lots of thoughtful & helpful notes / instructions from the owner. Everything worked well & we'd recommend it as an excellent self catering cottage.

- John, July 2023

Thank you for your nice review, and for recommending our cottage, much appreciated. Property Owner
Nicky June 2023

“A delightful property in a great location.”

Very comfortable and stylish, so many lovely touches and thought gone into providing a welcome and relaxing stay. Even usb plugs in the rooms for convenience! Would stay here again and thoroughly recommend. The pizza place across the road was so good we ate there 2 nights running!

- Nicky, June 2023

Thanks Nicky, lovely review. Those pizzas are to die for aren’t they! Property Owner
Kenneth May 2023

“A very comfortable and well equipped property.”

Lots of thought has obviously been put in by the owners as to the little extras that make a stay so much more enjoyable and the dedicated parking space a real winner. .

- Kenneth, May 2023

Thank you for your nice review Kenneth. Glad you enjoyed your stay and that you appreciated the little extras we provide. We do try to go above and beyond to deliver the best possible experience and make things as easy as we can for our guests. Hope you return again soon. Property Owner
Martin May 2023

“Excellent property - pristine, well equipped and tasteful decor.”

Great situation near the sea with balcony view over a small river and trees. Also close to bus stops, pubs and restaurants. Beds comfortable with selection of duvets for summer/winter. Liked the labels to supplement the clear instructions for everything. Even had BT/Sky. Hosts attentive. Would happily return.

- Martin, May 2023

Thanks for your fabulous review Martin, glad everything was to your liking and that you enjoyed the Sky/BT Sports package. Hope you return soon. Property Owner
Mark December 2022

“The parking situation is not perfect especially when bringing more than 1 car, and could be made clearer.”

Having a Stair gate for the top floor single bed room and some child friendly plastic plates would also be a bonus! Otherwise lovely property!

- Mark, December 2022

Hi Mark Pleased to hear you liked our property, that’s always great to hear, thank you. We have now provided some children’s dinner ware, and a solution to the stair gate, so thank you for your suggestions. Hope you will stay again sometime. Property Owner
Jaine October 2022

“Stayed here for the weekend to visit the university.”

House very clean and well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Welcome pack was a bonus. Would recommend.

- Jaine, October 2022

Thanks for your review Jaine, glad your stay was a positive experience, and we hope you will return if/when you visit the university in the future. Property Owner
Helen September 2022

“Fab house, calm, light and airy, overlooking a small creek.”

Tasteful decor, comfortable and well equipped. Dedicated parking was a bonus - easily accommodated 4x4. Superb location for Penryn marina and excursions to Falmouth and Roseland peninsula. Bus and train services good, boat trips from Falmouth. Penryn has a great little museum, eateries and shops - larger supermarket is 10 minutes walk. Every ingredient for a memorable week, cottage is first class, our compliments to the owners of ‘Riverside’.

- Helen, September 2022

So glad you enjoyed your stay, thanks for the lovely review it is much appreciated. Property Owner
Victoria June 2022

“The property is a town house, so is over 3 floors.”

This means that the top floor has no bathroom and the 1st floor has 2. This is slightly irritating for whoever has to go on the top floor but the owners have made great use of the space available. Beautifully furnished and decorated, with very high quality white goods. Do note that the parking is opposite a private site which has pop-up parking bollards. These are difficult to avoid in order to access the allocated space, and they damaged our car. Not at all the owners' fault but a shame nonetheless. Parking is Penryn is tricky so the allocated car parking is a godsend.

- Victoria, June 2022

Hi Victoria Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and thank you for acknowledging the quality of the accommodation! We have put a lot of effort into making it a top quality holiday let, so that’s really good to hear! Yes, the two bathrooms are located on the first floor, one being the en-suite and the other being the family bathroom for the two rooms upstairs. Hopefully this wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. Personally never had an issue with the bollards as they are usually lowered flat, but I can appreciate that drivers of larger vehicles would have to be more careful when manoeuvring than drivers of small to medium cars if/when the bollards are raised. Hope to see you back at Riverside in the future and thank you for choosing to stay with us on this occasion Property Owner

The property

Idyllically positioned on the banks of the Penryn River, in Penryn, Cornwall rests this three-storey mid-terrace holiday home, 4 Summercourt.

Set moments from the glistening waters of the English Channel and the Blue Flag award-winning sands of Gyllyngvase Beach, 'Riverside' Summercourt makes an excellent base for a group of six's next Cornish adventure.

A sought-after allocated off-road parking space greets you upon arrival, making unloading your belongings and settling into your new home-from-home an easy task.

Make your way through your private front garden and over the threshold of this wonderful abode, where you can dust off your sandy toes and store your beach-going essentials in the handy hallway, away from the main living areas.

Following a day of adventure, get to work on preparing a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen, where a dishwasher ensures no time is wasted doing the washing up, and choose to dine at the breakfast bar or outside in the tranquil setting of your rear garden, where the flow of the River Penryn provides a magical backdrop.

Carry the conversation indoors and settle down for a quality evening with a sumptuous spot in front of the Smart TV, where you can flick on your favourite Sky channel or catch a live game with a crisp drink in hand.

As the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first floor to find the family bathroom, where a tub invites you to indulge in a blissful soak.

When sleep calls, catch your luxury rest in one of the dwelling's three well-presented bedrooms; find the master bedroom on the first floor complete with Juliette balcony and en-suite walk-in shower, basin and WC, whilst the second floor is home to a double and a twin room.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Penryn, famed as one of the oldest market towns in Cornwall, where the town's fascinating history can be discovered with a tour of Penryn Museum, whilst the wealth of pubs, restaurants and takeaways lining the high-street serve a variety of menus for those evenings when you don't fancy doing the cooking.

The popular town of Falmouth rests moments away, with its scenic marina, Blue Flag award-winning beach and exhilarating surf scene; tackle the waves with a spot of surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding at Gyllyngvase Beach, or if you'd prefer to stay on land, spend the afternoon exploring the history on display at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall or uncovering the well-preserved architecture of Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII.

Escape the hustle and bustle with a peaceful stroll through the flora and fauna of Penjerrick Garden, or the vibrant meadows at Enys Gardens, or hike to the summit of Stack Point, affording far-reaching views across the glistening waters of the coast.

With all of this and more, choose 4 Summercourt as your base to explore Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
