From the moment we booked Trewena cottage we felt that Richard was friendly, welcoming and really responsive - offering details of what is available at the accomodation & within the... read more area, making clear that he would be nearby for help if needed. We stayed in the Tractor Shed, which was so homely & comfortable - we loved coming back to the sofa after days out walking - so comfy. Also heated blankets on the bed! Black out curtains & dreamy bed linen also made for a good night's sleep each night. We loved the personal touches like shortbread & freah milk in the fridge to have on arrival with a cuppa. There was also a Christmas tree that made us feel at home, given our break was between Christmas & New Year. Richard also let us know that there wasn't anyone arriving the day we checked out, so offered us a late check out & the option to stay longer which we appreciates & would have jumped at the chance had we not had to head back. Great stay overall & would highly recommend. Thanks again.

The cooking facilities are excellent, and very sufficient for those who like to cook for themselves, not always the case in some Airbnb facilities, and with a private patio!

My partner and I enjoyed an absolutely lovely couple of nights at the Tractor Shed. It was very easy to find. The host (Richard) is very responsive and helpful -... read more he welcomed me to the property and was never intrusive throughout our stay; he even recommended a great local chippy.
The property itself is pristinely clean, well equipped (yet without clutter), and practical whilst being charming at the same time. Richard had prepped the property with the heating just right before our arrival - there's even an electric blanket on the bed for those who feel the cold.
The surrounding grounds are lovely and peaceful and Falmouth is a few minutes drive away. What more could you want?
All I can say is that if you're thinking about staying - do it! We'll certainly be revisiting in the future.

Where do we start?! We absolutely LOVED The Tractor Shed!
It was very easy to find, with plenty of parking in the very well laid out carpark.
... read more /> The Tractor Shed is beautifully furnished and finished to a very high standard.
We were able to prepare all our meals in the well equiped kitchen.
The generously sized bedroom and living area both have french doors leading out to a private space overlooking the Orchard. There is also a beautiful bathroom with a walk in shower.
Each room has been so well thought out, we felt comfortable, relaxed, and at home immediately.
Richard was super friendly and flexible, suggesting an early check-in and a relaxed check-out on our paticular stay dates in January.
We didn't realised when we booked but Richard has 3 cottages on site and immediately we thought how perfect in would be for a holiday for an extended family. Together on the same farm but with everyone having their own place! Just an idea 😉
Thank you for such a perfect stay!

The Tractor Shed was an absolute delight to stay at. It was clean, and felt fresh. Living space was just right for 2 adults and has a gorgeous kitchen to... read more cook in. It’s fully equipped. The sofas were extremely comfy for a sofa day where we read books and I cross stitched my heart out. The bed was super comfortable and Richard was kind enough to ensure the heated blanket was put on the bed! The heating was excellent in the tractor shed, we never went cold. The fridge was spacious but we realised that we had forgotten to buy butter after we went shopping. Fear not, Richard came to the rescue with some butter! It was surrounded by lovely acres of field and was about 10 minutes to Falmouth. Transport was mostly used with driving or taxis. Thank you for having us, it felt like home from home!

Thank you Richard & Helen, you've been superb hosts !

The property is located on a peaceful farm with dedicated parking, offering a lovely setting... read more and a true sense of escape. The amenities are top-notch – from the cozy, well-appointed interiors to the fully equipped kitchen and our own outdoor space, everything is designed for comfort and relaxation. A perfect home away from home stay, and within very easy reach to the university campus at Penryn and Falmouth. A tranquil countryside experience with all the modern comforts, this was the perfect stay.

My wife and I had a lovely week in the Pigsty which is located perfectly for exploring Cornwall. The cottage is in a quiet location but not too far from... read more local facilities. We found the owners, Richard and Helen, very friendly and helpful, and as they live onsite were available should there be any issues. The welcome pack with some essentials to get us going was a nice touch. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I particularly like the upside down arrangement as it gave us some elevated views of the surrounding fields and gave me the opportunity to do some bird watching, especially great to see some buzzards. We would certainly recommend a stay here and are hoping to come back in the near future to explore some of the places we missed on this trip.

They saved the day for us, or we were driving 6 hours back home, so we were extremely grateful to them. The accommodation is all newly refurbished, lovely quiet place in the countryside, but only 5 minutes from nearest supermarket where we popped in for breakfast sometimes and Falmouth and St Mawes only a few miles away, we drove all over to be honest. Richard was very helpful, came and showed us how to use the log burner late one evening when we got back, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend Cornish vistas 👍
