A rural stay

The accommodation is a conversion in the garden of the main house. Parking is in the shared carport. It is charming and compact in a small hamlet. The A39 is approximately 5km drive through the narrow lanes common in Cornwall.

Fab accommodation & all the seasons in 1 week

Loafers Glory Treverva Falmouth Was glorious and lots of loafing, was done 😉 Thank you both for a fabulous week, made extra special with all your little touches, such as fresh flowers, tea tray, table laid, on arrival, milk, drinks, and groceries to get us started, and bathrobes to save us packing. We also enjoyed your CDs as we dined on home-cooked local produce. In August for Falmouth, Tall Ships we had a week of all seasons, glorious, sunshine, torrential rain, storm, Betty, glorious sunshine. We walked to local pubs, the new inn at Mabe, Twice, fab food! including a night walk back around the reservoir, and the Trelowarren. Friday fireworks viewed from PizzaExpress were great. On-board Tall ships was definitely a fab experience (after a 1.5 hour hot and sunny queue). Sad we missed the laser shows and crew parades, which were not as well advertised. Thanks for letting us stay the extra night after the storm. The Sun returned and we had a wonderful day at Swan pool beach. Definitely a gloriously loafing week, hope to stay again in the future.

Splendid hideaway

Very well-equipped and furnished in a small space, without feeling cramped, with a neat secluded garden, and extremely helpful and friendly owners. Ideal for visiting the nearby coast and its many attractions, ranging from Falmouth harbour to the Cornish Seal sanctuary and Trebah gardens. A car is probably essential and a willingness to face narrow Cornish lanes and their drivers.

A gem of a find

Absolutely delighted with the small touches. Devon cream tea on arrival. Friendly hosts and so clean. Felt so private. Central to explore falnouth area. So much to visit and a visit to Minack a must.

Heaven in Cornwall

Really quiet beautifully decorated spotlessly clean. Everything u could want. Hosts really lovely people. Even left cream tea, milk, sugar, all cleaning products. Just a bit too far from beaches. Very narrow roads to access property. Best stay we have ever had in Cornwall

A perfect getaway

What a great find! A perfect location for exploring the delights of Cornwall, Loafers Glory delivered. The owners were super friendly and helpful. The accomadation was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything being of a high standard. The garden was a delightful place to enjoy the cream tea that was awaiting our arrival. I would highly recommend this property.

Quiet, tastefully decorated, well equipped.

We had a super restful time, Loafers Glory is a great spot for exploring Cornwall. Pete and Shelly were lovely hosts and have put a lot of thought into making the apartment welcoming. We appreciated the Saffron buns on arrival as well as the coffee pods and milk. They have lots of good local knowledge to share.

Although well equipt the accomodation was not as we had hoped.

The bedroom was tiny and had no window that we could open. The bed was small and uncomfortable. The bathroom was very small and the towel rail did not work.

Absolutely lovely

We stayed at Loafers Glory for a week the end of September. Were warmly greeted by Shelley and Peter and shown around. Lovely touch of flowers and some saffron buns together with some provisions in the fridge and cupboards. A lovely quiet position and as we were fortunate to have almost perfect weather we even managed to have afternoon tea in the garden most days. Very well equipped with everything you would need in your own home. As our first time staying in Cornwall we did some of the tourist visits (St Ives, St Michaels mount etc.) but as out of season was not too busy. We both also enjoyed Falmouth itself, along the beaches, the harbour and the town. Eventually ran out of time before we were able to see all the places on my 'list' so will hopefully return again. Would highly recommend staying. A great position for visiting lots of lovely places. Thank you Shelley and Peter for a lovely break.

Beautiful cosy property, perfect to explore all of Cornwall

An absolutely beautiful property, arrived to fresh roses, a bottle of bubbly and a classic clotted cream tea. Perfect for exploring both North and South coasts! We visited this property as part of our wedding/honeymoon as we got married whilst staying in Cornwall. The hosts where perfect the whole time, they came and took photos for us on the morning of our wedding and made sure the property was clean and all bedding was changed for us coming home. Would definitely stay again! 10/10

Paradise Found

We really enjoyed our week's holiday in Cornwall staying at Loafers Glory. From the start it was evident that Shelley and Peter had put an awful lot of love and thought into creating a very welcoming, romantic and restful place for their guests stay. From the stylish and tasteful interior to the lovely cottage garden, it was just what we would have wished for. It was the little extra things that truly made this holiday cottage a home from home such as fresh flowers on the dining room table and in the bedroom and even fluffy matching dressing gowns, it was so perfectly equipped with everything one would need. The cottage is also perfectly situated for visiting all the sites of the beautiful Cornish coast and countryside and we look forward to staying there again, so thank you Shelley and Peter for a wonderful holiday.

Perfect Hosts !

We just wanted a short, comfortable and affordable 'chill out' while our builders finished making a mess at home. We didn't explore after reading about Loafers Glory as it promised exactly what we were looking for and thankfully it also delivered. This is thanks to our hosts who have used their good taste and design sense to create such a little jewel. As someone else commented, its like coming home after a day out. Thank you Shelley & Peter

Very well equipped cottage

This was the best equipped cottage that we have stayed in. Shelley has thought of everything!! Very quiet and a lovely location to visit all of south and west Cornwall. It would have been lovely to use the garden a bit more but the weather was not so kind for us. I'm sure we will be back, thank you Shelley & Peter
