Place by the River
Lovely property, convenient for Truro and very close to the lovely Heron pub. I had my 90 year old mother with me so the steps into the property were a bit of a challenge, particularly the step over the threshold. The stairs within the house were also steep, but she managed ok. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. I tried to contact the owner and was unsuccessful, which would have been a concern if anything had happened. Left a message on the VRBO site and telephoned the number in the folder of the housekeeper, but received no reply to my messages.

Could be great but..
The host was gracious and the location was nice. The Heron Inn a two-minute walk away was awesome. Day trips from there to Cornwall were great. This was the sixth VRBO in the UK we stayed at in the last few weeks. In comparison, if cleanliness is important, then this would not be a good choice. We felt compelled to clean as soon as we arrived and even then a deep clean would be required. We found that the pictures on the website were misleading in terms of cleanliness. If you are looking for a place that welcomes pets, then this might be just right for you. Parking is included but can be challenging as there is only limited street parking and no assigned spot. We let the host know of our concerns with the level of cleaning and she kindly refunded our cleaning fee.

Fantastic spot
We really enjoyed our stay. Location is great for exploring Cornwall with the added benefit of being on the river and having the fantastic views. The roof terrace view is one of the best views across the river fal that I’ve seen and I’ve been going to Cornwall for a decade. We had a rib for three days and moored it in Malpas Marina a v short walk from the house. House was slightly larger than I expected from the photos. Everything works as it should and beds were comfy, shower pressure reasonable, condiments and facilities all good. Parking was okay. We had two cars and could always find a spot along the road within a minutes walk. Pub is great, neighbours really friendly. All in all a great trip. The owls in woods around the river were a delight as was spotting an osprey (twice) fishing near the marina. Thank you to the host for being easily contacted for any questions and resolving a minor issue so rapidly.

A home away from home!
We love it here, location is perfect! The house is lovely and just the right size. Walk nearby, shops and the local pub. Barn door opening onto the reel every morning- what more could you want. Excellent The house was very comfortable, we can’t wait to return! Doggo loved it too!
