Katie March 2024

“Excellent location - a quiet, rural setting but still only a short drive to supermarkets, etc.”

There's a lovely garden and overall we had a good stay. The only slight negatives were the bed (comfortable mattress but a bit small for us) and the small saucepan seemed to have some food residue inside it. The information booklet and the dog friendly guide were both really useful - thank you for providing them!

Cathy September 2023

“Lovely week here and everything provided for a comfortable stay.”

The cream tea on arrival was a lovely gesture and very welcome after a long journey from Sussex! Lots of information on places to see including a seperate folder on dog friendly day places. Beautiful location and the view was stunning.

Robyn May 2023

“This was such a perfect location to visit all of Cornwall.”

Just a couple of roads away from the A30 meant we could hop on and visit anywhere we liked with ease. The house itself had everything we needed and more, the owners were so kind and on hand whenever we needed anything. We were all at ease and felt at home from the minute we arrived, until we left. Thank you all for our wonderful holiday, we will be back.

- Robyn, May 2023
Pauline February 2023

“The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and very clean.”

The owners were welcoming with their greeting and the cream tea❤️ very good value for money and would highly recommend. Sykes, however, bombard you with messages..."don't forget this" "don't forget that" " how was your first night" "don't forget to leave it clean" "how was your holiday?" That, added to the extortionate fees I've just realised we pay to book through them ,makes me inclined not to go down the Sykes route again☹️

- Pauline, February 2023
Tabitha August 2022

“What a perfect cottage!”

It literally had everything we could need (only item we missed was a pizza cutter... but there were knives instead haha) The owners were lovely and friendly. Especially loved the supply of games, books and dvds. Honestly, we could have visited with 50% less stuff! Thanks so much for having us!

“Good location for mid Cornwall, roughly in between both coasts and next to Bodmin Moor.”

Perinporth and Bude beaches easily drivable from there. Wagon house was compact but ample as base for two of us and large Newfoundland dog, with nice cool floor for him to lay on. Both bedrooms and bathroom had opening Velux windows which made it cool and fresh even though very hot outside. All usual household facilities, iron etc. Fridge and seperate freezer in well equipped kitchen, no dishwasher but not a problem for us. Friendly owners on-site, which is down country lane but only about a minute to main road and A30. Great info folder in property wi on places to go and beaches. Thoroughly recommend this place, larger cottages also on same site. One of best places we have ever stayed at in Cornwall.

- J, July 2022

“Cleaning appears to be left to previous occupancy, without appropriate check by owners?”

Jam on table cloth, clothing in drawers, spiders and established webs in 2 rooms. Sky lights in need of replacement. Flaking paint within recess and condensation to bathroom (extractor was activated), smaller bedroom inparticular had heavy condensation. Lounge sofa and sofa bed are in dire need of replacement. Sitting on sofa bed then standing up will demonstrate how far the seating cushions have/remain sunken.

- M, October 2021

We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Our cleaner was new and I personally fixed some cleaning issues but I must have missed some. I do apologise. New Sofas have been on order for a while now but delivery times are very long, I would hope they arrive soon. As this is an old cottage with 3 solid stone external walls the humidity does become a problem if all the heating is left on high and windows are shut. We do have a dehumidifier which could have been made available on request. Property Owner

Jeanette July 2021

“Very enjoyable base for us in Cornwall.”

Easy access to the main road and we managed to visit many places during our weeks stay. The cottage is lovely and very well equipped, but I did miss the dishwasher although I understand their wasn't any room for one. We enjoyed the garden and pond in the sunshine. Friendly owners who were happy to chat and the cream tea on arrival went down very well. We booked quite late and were limited on our property search due to Covid. We feel lucky that we came across this lovely place I did miss taking a walk to the shop but with this virus still around it is perfect to keep yourself safe and escape from the throng of people. Would happily recommended and revisit

Jayne July 2021

“Very small there’s no way 4 people would be comfortable 2 people were ok .”

Website states the pub is 1.5 miles away the nearest pub is 4.5 miles it’s called kings head inn and the countryman pub that’s advertised is more like 6.8 miles and when we arrived it was and has been closed for sometime it maybe an idea to update your website to save time travelling to places . Could do with some updating and looking at the random slugs that appear all over the place even found one cooked to the side of the kettle they could invest in slug pellets or whatever you use to get rid of the slimey things , they must have super slugs in Devon because every morning slime cover the larger bedroom floor . Wallpaer peeling off of bedroom walls and quite a bit of damp in the corner of the room . Trying to open and close the window was awkward with the stick left there and pulling the blind down with it just impossible had to stand on a stool .We knew it was remote but getting in and out of the lane was a challenge very long lane with no pull ins so you are backwards and forwards trying to get through and it’s quite a busy lane and people drive very fast down it really quite scary

- Jayne, July 2021

Dear guest, Were very sorry that your holiday did not live up to your expectations. The vast majority of our guests enjoy their stay at Trevosper Barn Cottages. As mentioned at your arrival at the cottage, we always prefer to hear about any issues or concerns as they occur and not until after your departure. This would have allowed us to help, e.g. give you some slug pellets and point out the 2 nearest pubs. As this didn't happen, we can only assure you that we willll turn any reasonable feedback into actionable improvements for future guests, wherever that's possible. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your stay and wish you the best in the future Property Owner
Christopher June 2021

“The cottage was comfortable and well equipped.”

The welcome pack of scones, jam and cream was much appreciated. The garden was beautiful with a picturesque backdrop. The location was excellent within 3-4 minutes of the A30. The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

- Christopher, June 2021
Bernadette May 2021

“Great hosts, lovely peaceful location with great countryside views.”

Well appointed and comfortable barn conversion with easy access to main road routes to head off and explore. A great place to take the dog as great grounds for them too. Well worth a stay or two....

- Bernadette, May 2021
Sarah April 2021

“Lovely accommodation for two and the dog.”

Bed was a bit small for us and the upstairs became quite warm through the night, so didn’t sleep too well. Garden was nice to sit out in on a warm afternoon/evening and the views and birdsong were relaxing. Would stay again and recommend to friends.

- Sarah, April 2021
Laura October 2020

“Fantastic location ideal for sightseeing around the North Cornish coast and visiting local areas of interest.”

The cottage met our needs as we are 3 people and this fitting perfectly with the layout. The kitchen was suitably kitted out with essential needs for self catering. I needed WIFI to do some work mid-week and there were no problems with internet connection. We were warm enough and all the storage heaters worked. We were able to use the facilities in the conservatory area e.g. washing machine and tumble drier which was necessary as we were walking and had a dog - so all of us were muddy. The information booklets were accurate - though we would have like a map showing where all the ideas and recommendations were in relation to the cottage. We were made to feel very welcome with the cream tea provided on arrival - which really was a lovely thought and touch after a long drive. The only thing missing for us was a bit more hanging and drying space or even a rack in the convservatory with warm air to dry our wet suits and store them .

- Laura, October 2020
Michael September 2020

“A wonderful location.”

The owners are extremely approachable if you needed anything - not that you need to ask much as everything has been thought of.

- Michael, September 2020
Jean September 2020

“Good location.”

So many places within easy reach. Lovely property for us in a beautiful garden. We came at a bad time when everything had to be booked due to COVID but we managed to adapt by booking local pubs for evening meals or by having main whilst out at lunchtime and eating lighter meal in cottage during the evening. Very relaxing holiday. Owners of cottage very friendly.

- Jean, September 2020
Glyn August 2020

“A lovely cottage set in beautiful gardens, with a welcoming set of hosts.”

The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. The provision of a cream tea on our arrival was a nice touch which was much appreciated.

Deborah July 2019

“Owners were so welcoming and helpful.”

Lovely afternoon tea was very much appreciated after long journey. Property was well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful garden and peaceful setting. Great location for access to A30 and really useful folder of information about things to do locally and further afield. Very happy with our stay.

- Deborah, July 2019
Kirk July 2019

“Fantastic hosts who where very friendly and keen to accommodate us and our dogs”

- Kirk, July 2019
Bear July 2019

“We found The Wagon House very comfortable and well equiped.”

We were greeted by a cream tea on arrival and set about that very soon after getting our bags in ... lush. The view is beautiful and so peaceful. Ulli, Loraine and Cooper made us most welcome. We spent every day out and about so didn't really have time to sit about the garden, but the first evening we had a spell in it before sundown, most restful. A great location, 2 mins down a lane and then onto the A30 for rapid access to the rest of Cornwall.

- Bear, July 2019
Patrick May 2019

Joanna March 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday and our hosts were lovely.”

We wouldn't book this cottage again unless it was just myself and my husband as it was too small for our party that included my dad after my mum passed away and our 2 dogs and us. There are only 2 sofas and they were both very old and uncomfortable. The kitchen was so tiny that nothing was where we expected it........the cutlery was on the other side of the kitchen above the freezer, not near the plates etc. This cottage is ideal for a couple and 1 child but no more. The property did have some dust but I'm very picky as I'm a private 6 star housekeeper. The cream tea that was waiting for us when we arrived was delicious and a lovely touch. The cottage is in a lovely location and we found it easy to get to lots of interesting places. There was lots of information in the cottage too including dog friendly beach recomendations.

- Joanna, March 2019
Neil October 2018

“It was our first holiday with our dogs.”

So we were a bit wary of how they would settle in a new place, we didn’t have to look up for places to take our dogs, as all the information was in our accommodation. Which was a big help.

- Neil, October 2018
Phil July 2018

“The holiday cottage at Trevosper Barns was excellent - friendly people - very helpful -”

- Phil, July 2018

“The cottage and its surroundings where gorgeous.”

We just feel in love with Cornwall and the cottage area . Will definitely be going there . The couple that owned trevosper barn . Where really friendly. And helping us find some of the tourist areas . They loads of information in the cottage. Telling us where good areas which where dog friendly.

- Joanna, July 2018
Gillian June 2018

“We had never been to Cornwall properly before and the cottage was lovely and perfectly situated for exploring the county.”

We were warmly welcomed and the cottage was really well equipped and beautifully presented. We are very likely to return for future holidays!

- Gillian, June 2018
Veronica May 2018

“Very helpful and thoughtful hosts.”

- Veronica, May 2018
Suzanne March 2018

“Friendly helpful owners on hand if you need any information.”

Lovely enclosed garden. Lots of special touches, cream tea on arrival, milk and butter provided. Dog bowls and dog towels provided. Lovely little cottage. Would definitely stay again

- Suzanne, March 2018
Jacqueline June 2017

“Lovely place to stay.”

Owners available for help and advice but not intrusive. Added bonus was the beautiful garden and pond which meant relaxing pre dinner drinks and snacks every evening, regardless of the weather, looking out over the Cornish countryside watching Hawks and Housemartins fly about. A truly relaxing stay - nothing to hear except the birds and the occasional clinking of wine glasses!

- Jacqueline, June 2017
Paul September 2016

“The Wagon House was a very well equipped comfortable cottage.”

The owners who lived adjacent to the cottage were helpful, friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The garden, although shared with two other cottages, was large well kept and afforded excellent views of the surrounding countryside. We found the location perfect for exploring both coasts and Bodmin moor. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

- Paul, September 2016
Stuar July 2016

“The property was very nicely restored and with nice decoration.”

It was also in a nice location.

- Stuar, July 2016

“Very pleasant location well situated for touring, very friendly owners and we were made to feel welcome on all aspects.”

Would recommend, ideal for a multi family booking.

- Howard, June 2016
Sheila May 2016

“A lovely little cottage, so cosy with a beautiful quiet garden and all the amenities of home.”

The sun hits the little table and chairs early enough to enjoy a cup of tea first thing. We had a wonderful holiday and will no doubt return for more! Thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Sheila, May 2016
Julia July 2015

“The whole place was just lovely.”

The accommodation was simply awesome and the gardens were amazing. I could not have wished for more.

- Julia, July 2015
Rab June 2014

“Very relaxing with a wide range of places to visit.”

The sunny/warm weather certainly helped make the holiday and made it a pleasure to be out and about. Some nice touches from the owners who supplied homemade scones, jam, butter and cream on arrival.

- Rab, June 2014
Janet May 2014

“The property was well placed to tour the area and it was quiet and comfortable.”

The hosts were friendly and helpful with questions and gave us a lot of information about the attractions we could visit.

- Janet, May 2014
Malcolm August 2013

“We particularly liked the information provided, it was useful to have recommended walks.”

Cornwall is a spectacular area of England and we were not let down in anyway. The cottages were well placed to enjoy easy access to a lot of places of interest to visit.

- Malcolm, August 2013
John July 2013

“Second time of staying at property cannot fault the time spent there would visit again”

- John, July 2013
Richard May 2013

“The owners were incredible hosts, whilst being attentive to our needs they were considerate not interfere with our holiday.”

The cottage was lovely and just what we needed and very central to many locations. The info pack we received was brilliant and even outlined animal friendly attractions and pubs which we found really helpful. Would definitely recommend the cottage to others for a quiet sightseeing visit.

- Richard, May 2013

Originally a shelter for horse-drawn wagons, this cosy end-terrace stone cottage near Launceston has a large feature window at the front, making the sitting room light and airy.

This cottage is ideal for couples or a family.

Note: This cottage is next to Refs. 17370 and 18014, together they sleep 11

Trevosper Barn

An attractive group containing three stone cottages and a barn conversion, in a countryside setting with fabulous views over the fields from the garden. The cottages are next to each other in a courtyard and lie within the hamlet of Polyphant. The owners also live within the courtyard in a converted farmhouse. This is a quiet, peaceful rural location, 5 miles west of the historic town of Launceston but within minutes of the main A30 route through Cornwall. The large, half-acre communal garden outside these Launceston cottages backs onto open countryside, and has a conservatory overlooking the wildlife pond; visitors can enjoy some quiet time here, with the added benefit of a small library of books and coffee-making facilities. There are some fabulous traditional pubs nearby, most of which are child-friendly and many of which accept dogs. The nearest to these Launceston cottages is only 1.5 miles away. This group of Launceston cottages are in an ideal location for exploring a whole range of pursuits, especially the dramatic North Cornwall coastline, including Widemouth Bay, which is particularly good for surfing, rock pools and beach games and is also dog-friendly. Walkers are spoilt for choice, with Bodmin Moor on the doorstep, dominated by dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of open moorland. Why not take a family cycle ride along the gentle reaches of the nearby Camel Trail, a traffic-free route following the course of the river through woodland and moorland? These Launceston cottages offer a great base to explore and unwind together.

POLYPHANT

Launceston 5 miles; Truro 41 miles.

Just inside the county boundary, this delightful village is situated among rolling meadowland, wooded valleys and winding country lanes. A few miles to the east, the ancient county town of Launceston with its shops, leisure centre, Norman castle and local history museum looks out over the deeply wooded valley and the River Tamar, while in the other direction lie the open spaces of Bodmin Moor, with its craggy tors, spectacular scenery and Daphne Du Maurier’s famous Jamaica Inn. With a wealth of tiny hamlets, country pubs and interesting walks nearby, there is also superb fishing, abundant wildlife and a number of golf courses to tempt the visitor. The north coast beaches are only 14 miles away and the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan can be reached within 40 minutes; Penzance and the far west are just over an hour by car and to the east there’s the wild open spaces of Dartmoor.
