Excellent stay at Fal River cottage.

Fal River cottage is in a fabulous location, river views are stunning and it’s very peaceful. The cottage itself was spotless and very comfortable. Communications with Phil were spot on.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of Cornwall.

The view is beautiful, the cottage is lovely with a nice area at the front to sit out. There are plenty of places to visit in this part of the county, and the best thing of all is that it is three doors down from the Heron, That is always worth a visit.

New year break

We enjoyed our New Year break at Fall Cittage, Malpas. The location is perfect with fabulous views of the river estuary. The local pub is a matter of metres away and is well worth visiting. Excellent food and very friendly staff.

A wonderful stay

The cottage is exceptionally well located and excellently appointed. The management is efficient and personal. We had a wonderful few days. The only slight criticism is that the dining table could not be moved from the little kitchen to the living room. We had a couple visit us for dinner and it was too cold to eat outside (from which the views are stunning)

A very comfortable short break

Myself and my best friend stayed here for a long weekend break. It was my present to her for her 60th birthday, We just wanted to chill & chat really. We popped to the pub three doors away for food and refreshments of course, but apart from that we sat in comfort in front of the lovely log burner and chatted and laughed. We had so much catching up to do. The view was spectacular and the facilities in the cottage were excellent. Plenty of lovely walks to do in the area if you like that sort of thing but for what we wanted, comfort and warmth, this cottage was perfect. Phil is a very helpful and friendly host. He provided some lovely Cornish treats for us which were very much enjoyed. Another special memory now we created of our time at Fal River Cottage,

Beautiful views of the river

The cottage is in the most beautiful position where the rivers meet. The tiered patios behind the cottage are wonderful and very comfortable seating made for a lovely evening with a glass of wine and watching river life. The bedrooms and beds are comfortable but we struggled being in a double bed on a warm evening, we are just used to a bigger bed. The kitchen is beautifully done, a couple of ovenware dishes would have been useful, but we managed none the less. We had a couple of evenings watching TV but we personally found the new chair and sofa very uncomfortable (different to the photos) which was a shame.Huge range of games and books, the fabulous Heron Inn on your doorstep and a trip down the river to Falmouth completed our stay. Phil was very attentive and couldn’t fault the service he gave and even arranged to send a Teddy that got left behind! Thank you for the delicious cream tea, it started the week off beautifully.

Beautiful location and cottage.

We were two Australian friends, first time in Cornwall and the cottage was perfect with lovely views, a deck to sit outside on and cosy/traditional inside which we loved. The host was super friendly and gave clear instructions and help all the way through, with tips for us of things to do that really suited us. They even had scones with jam and cream for us when we arrived, which was such a nice touch. Overall we loved our stay and it was hard to leave!

Truly spectacular location

Beautifully well presented cottage in a stunning location , Owner was very helpful throughout and we could not have asked for for. Parking outside was great for us , but I guess it could be a challenge at the height of summer with the Heron 3 doors away. Location was perfect for exploring south west Cornwall with many local walks if you don’t want to travel. The steps up to the Cottage are steep for those less able ( the Owner does point this out in the Cottage information ) but apart from that , perfection !!

Beautiful Malpas

We spent a lovely week in beautiful Malpas. The cottage was very nice and in the best position! Very dog friendly everywhere and an enjoyable walk into Truro. Lots of time spent at The Heron! The cottage provided a great base and was really nicely decorated. Just a couple of things that may have made it even better - we found the bed a little small, probably because we’re used to a much bigger one, but the room is so spacious it could definitely take a bigger bed. A DVD player might be good, we didn’t spend much time looking at the TV but had taken some DVD’s to have a couple of nights in (to keep costs down) and there really wasn’t anything on TV. I think it would also be useful to have the information the owner provided about the cottage and surrounding area on a laminated sheet in the cottage, it’s a bit of a pain to try and read it on a small mobile screen. Lastly PARKING ! Not fun driving up and down trying to find somewhere to dump the car, especially when it’s a big wide one like ours. I understand there’s nothing that can be done about this but you need to be fully aware of how difficult and stressful it can be. We were lucky and made friends with a local who very kindly offered us a parking spot on their driveway at the top of the village. All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday in a beautiful area

Lovely cottage, great location.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the cottage, helped by the fantastic weather. It’s a great location and the Heron pub 2 doors away was so convenient. There is always interest in the view across the river with the varied bird life and boats coming and going. The walk to St Clements is lovely, either along the river bank or through the fields over the hill. The cottage was very clean and well appointed. However, it would benefit from a freezer compartment in the fridge as unable to have any ice for cold drinks. Parking is on-road which is always busy but we were able to park each time we returned so not an issue. The terrace areas to the rear were great places to relax and admire the view as is the front decking where you can soak in the atmosphere of the pub customers enjoying their time on the roadside seating area. I would recommend this cottage if you are looking for chilled get away.

Lovely cottage in fantastic riverside location

Small cottage with modern facilities overlooking the tidal River Fal. Spotlessly clean and very conveniently located 3 doors down from the Heron pub which does great food. We felt very relaxed admiring the views and enjoyed sitting out front watching the boats and herons. Malpas is a popular location, with limited parking. You need to time your arrival for quieter periods to get close to the cottage. The owners were great to deal with.

Perfect little cottage

You can’t fail to be disappointed with this perfect little cottage, beautifully presented and equipped. The views are amazing, close enough to Truro for any shopping and in an excellent position for exploring Cornwall. Heron Pub to be recommended, thought parking may be an issue but we managed to park right outside the cottage every day. Phil was so helpful with information before our stay and the arrival goodies were a lovely surprise.
