About this property
This charming cottage is located in the little hamlet of Trevia, just a stone's throw away from the market town of Camelford in Cornwall. With a romantic feel throughout, this cottage offers a wonderful getaway for a couple looking to tour the area. Entrance is gained via the conservatory to patio door into a galley-style kitchen, with slate flooring and exposed stone walls and catering for your needs with an array of units and an electric range cooker sitting between sleek wooden worktops. Leading from the kitchen is the sitting room, warmed by a woodburning stove and elevated with a beamed ceiling, welcoming you to share a lovely evening together over a bottle of wine, or to enjoy the peace and quiet with a good book in the afternoon. From here, climb the stairs to the large mezzanine bedroom, boasting stripped pine floorboards and a vaulted ceiling where you can retire after a long day of exploring Cornwall, offering a king-size bed and plenty of storage for your belongings resting just under the eaves. Back on the ground floor, the bathroom is located in the hallway just off the lounge and features a bath, shower over, basin and WC where you can relax and soak or freshen up, ready for the day ahead. Making your way outside, the stunning garden thrives with shrubs and a selection of plants, adding life to the space while a lovely summerhouse is tucked away․ The garden also benefits from outdoor seating to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on a balmy summer’s evening. Camelford is an ideal destination for exploring many parts of Cornwall; Brown Willy and Roughtor are the highest points in Cornwall and on a clear day, the view is spectacular and well worth making the short car journey for. Runners, cyclists and walkers should all be sure to visit the famous Camel Trail for a stunning array of paths and tracks to explore, before stopping off at one of the local pubs for a hearty meal such as the Borogh Arms, right on site and serving traditional meals and a carvery. Not to forget the Eden Project, a stunning international charitable organisation providing a truly unique experience anyone can enjoy.

It was comfy and very homely. Nicely decorated and well appreciated the scones, jam and cream. Such a nice touch. The local maps were very helpful. One thing only maybe some simple start up instructions for the Range Cooker for someone who has never seen one or used one. It could be a simple sign saying set hot plate to 250, simmer 170 and top oven 200 and leave on for stay. Have this on the bench. We arrived in the dark which was a little tricky finding the cottage.

Pub is nearby (and lovely!) it is walking distance but just a pre warn that itâs not at all a walk for that someone who struggles with hills. The cottage itself was perfect for 2 and had everything we needed and kindly left a pint of milk and cream tea. If you have a long car you might struggle to fit in the reserved parking spot. We would definitely look to booking again! Thank you :)

The bedroom is a little small and claustrophobic. Even after the rain stopped we would still get wet walking down the path to the car as the garden shrubs and plants really require a good pruning as they overhang the pathway. Parking in a narrow bay and having to either reverse in or out is problematic full. Somewhat surprised that the kitchen is equipped with an Everhot - if unfamiliar with this type of range it can take some time to get familiar with it to cook for only 2 people.
