“We had a lovely week in Dexter.”

The cottage has everything needed for a self catering holiday. The shower was brilliant and very comfortable beds. Our two year old grandson absolutely loved Harley the dog as well as the goats. We will definitely return.

Mrs Oshea September 2020

“We had a great week away in Dexter.”

The hosts were extremely friendly. Especially liked the little touch of the welcome cream tea! Harley the dog was friendly and our dog Max enjoyed paying with her. Excellent standard of accommodation, beautiful scenery and lovely hosts. Will definitely be going back.

Mr Suppayah September 2020

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.”

A lovely and comfortable place to call home while we were down in Cornwall, with a perfect area to walk the dog around the reservoir just behind the property. A 5 to 10 minute drive into Falmouth, which we frequented for its lovely little shops and any necessities that we needed. We would definitely return again.

Mrs Villafuerte August 2020

“Treverva Farm is a fabulous place to stay.”

Very comfortable, owners are just so lovely and accommodating, we loved the ping pong and pool table, lovely walks and not too far from some fabulous attractions. Falmouth is good and the National Maritime Museum is great and Trebah Gardens is absolutely beautiful. Fabulous stay here and highly recommended.

Mrs Timmins February 2020

“This accommodation was ideally located for getting to many places around Cornwall.”

Lots of lovely beaches close by and Argal reservoir is a few minutes walk away across a couple of muddy fields from the property, which has a lovely 3k walk around it. This property is dog friendly and has a specific area for walking your dog. The welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, coffee and eggs was a lovely touch and much Appreciated. We will definitely be booking this property again when we visit Cornwall.

Dr Whittington October 2019

“We have just returned and absolutely loved our week at Dexter.”

So much so that I’m thoroughly depressed and desperate to return! The cottage is fantastic with brilliant facilities. It’s situated in a beautiful spot with great views. Ian the owner is great as is his son Lewis. We didn’t meet his wife but would imagine she is just as great. A welcome basket of milk, bread, eggs and butter was greatly received. Cottage is spotless with a great kitchen and bathroom. Beds to die for and great local area.

Mrs Curtis October 2019

“Excellent location , lovely accommodation with welcome pack ,comfortable beds, very clean.”

Loved the animals and the peace and quiet. Definitely revisit, excellent host. Thank you for a lovely break

Mrs Stewart-Paver August 2019

“We could not have asked for better.”

The property was luxurious, the furnishings were clean and of excellent quality. The owners and their family were very welcoming and the children loved the animals. A night in your own pub with a pool table for fun was great and there was some competition for the barman's job! The area provides something for everyone, countryside and the beautiful little coves together with a theme park for the teenagers. We will be back.

Mrs Molde July 2019

“We stayed in Dextor Cottage, which is one of three apartments that sits within Treverna Farm, which is set in beautiful Cornish countryside on the edge of a reservoir.”

The apartment was modern, finished to a high spec and clean...and after a very long drive, the gift basket of bread, milk, butter etc were greatly received. The farm has horses, goats, Dexter cows and two dogs, as well as trampoline and zip wire, so the kids always have something to do when you are on site. Ian, Michaela and Louis (who live on the farm) are very friendly, welcoming and always on hand to help or give guidance or what to do in the area. I honestly can say, as a family we could not have hoped for a better time or place to stay. We are most definitely going to be booking again next year.

- Mrs Molde, July 2019
Mrs Dennis July 2019

“We had an amazing stay at dexter.”

Beautiful location, hosts were fantastic and very welcoming. The welcome pack of fresh bread, eggs, cornish butter and tea was a perfect start to our holiday. The location is very central to days out e.g newquay, falmouth and st ives. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in this beautiful village.

Mr Prime May 2019

“Lovely family as on-site hosts who ensured that we were made very welcome but also left us to do as we wished.”

The 'welcome' pack of local bread, cornish butter, tea, coffee, milk, and eggs was very .... welcoming :) - far exceeded that we've had before. The farm/stables/family environment is very relaxing and it's clear a lot of effort has been put into converting and maintaining the properties. The farm is very conveniently situated for the beautiful cornish coast, and if you don't want to drive there's a lakeside walk nearby.

- Mr Prime, May 2019
Mr Mills April 2019

“We had a great stay at Dexter, which was perfect for our needs.”

The kids loved the table tennis and pool table, and the bar was a bonus! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful and the welcome pack was really appreciated. Dexter was very comfortable and the surrounding area was great for dog walks. I would highly recommend this property

- Mr Mills, April 2019
Mrs Howard March 2019

“The accommodation was excellent, very comfortable and warm.”

The light display in the shower certainly had a 'wow' factor! The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed making friends with the dogs and goats. The goodies were much appreciated, milk, bread, butter, eggs as well as tea and coffee. It was very easy to explore the area and we would hope to be able to return.

- Mrs Howard, March 2019
Mrs Feeney February 2019

“Lovely barn conversion, had everything we needed for a few days in Cornwall visiting our daughter at the university.”

The hamper was a lovely touch. Really modern and we really enjoyed our stay.

Mr Pallister November 2018

“Had a great week in Dexter cottage, which is absolutely first class in all respects.”

The quality of fit out, the super comfy beds and the property space is just amazing. Also couldn't have asked for more form Ian our host. Great little attention to detail of welcome pack of basics, very much appreciated. On site micro pub a great idea. Location of the cottages is great, pretty much mid point on the Cornish peninsula gives you access in all directions to a host of Cornish hot spots.

- Mr Pallister, November 2018
Mrs Ellis October 2018

“Dexter was everything we had hoped for and more!”

Such a cosy little place with exceptional views and in a great location for exploring South Cornwall. Along with the friendliness of the hosts, it made it the perfect holiday destination.

- Mrs Ellis, October 2018
Mrs Crighton September 2018

“Our stay at Dexter, Treverva Farm was excellent, it is the first time that we have done a cottage holiday, it certainly won't be the last going by the high standard at Dexter.”

Ian made us so welcome and the cottage had everything that you could want. It was also a good base to visit popular places, with a lake near by for an early evening walk around. I can't recommend this enough. Angela & David Crighton.

Mrs Bundey July 2018

“Lovely place, stables opposite us but only 3 horses kept there, no smell despite it being over 30 degrees whilst there.”

Small bar, friendly goats and owners dogs wander freely but very friendly. Views amazing from seated area with picnic tables and away from too-ings and goings from farm so peaceful and lovely suntrap. The Owners first year, and so good on them, and Nothing too much trouble. It is away from everything but 10 mins ish and in Falmouth. Would recommend car else be paying fortune in taxis. Had great time and good central place to see sights of Cornwall. Thank you

- Mrs Bundey, July 2018

About the location

CONSTANTINE

Falmouth 9 miles; Truro 14 miles.

A charmingly picturesque country village with a few shops, a pub and a lovely church, set among green rolling meadows and wooded valleys leading down to the beautiful Helford river, just 3 miles away. Famous for its mild climate, this quieter part of Cornwall has the outstanding gardens of Trebah, Penjerrick, Glendurgan and Carwinion all within 4 miles. For nature lovers and those who enjoy boats, the misty reaches of the Helford river meander upstream to Gweek, where the world renowned Seal Sanctuary looks after the region’s many abandoned and injured seals. Falmouth, with its narrow streets, natural harbour and National Maritime Museum is just 20 minutes by car, while Flambards theme park (8 miles) and Argal Lake with its water sports attractions make great days out. The nearby beautiful Lizard Peninsula, with its outstanding beaches and quaint fishing villages dotting the rocky coastline, has the benefit of outstanding scenery, tranquillity and some great walks.
