  • "Very quiet location."

    Loved the hot tub - sadly the weather meant we couldn’t sit out much. The property was very clean and cosy and the hosts were very helpful if we needed anything. Bedding was lovely and cosy and I would definitely book here again.

    Nothing was to much trouble friendly and inviting. The dog was so welcomed with goodies and his own blankets and towels. Lovely hot tub that was used every day. Will definitely return. It was PERFECT

  • "The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely, quiet, peaceful location that’s pretty central for travelling around Cornwall."

    It’s of a very high standard and 5 star for cleanliness. Maureen provides everything that you could possibly need, she also left a lovely toy for our granddaughter to use and then take home too. There are even treats and toys for your dog if they are joining you. There is plenty of room and the large garden is a brilliant bonus. The hot tub was a welcome addition to relax in after a busy day of sightseeing and running round with our toddler grandchild. This is the second year that we’ve stayed at Demelza and we’ve already booked again for next year too. We’re looking forward to our next stay.

    Maureen and John are wonderful hosts. We came as a family of four with two daughters together with 2 dogs last year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this year was even better. We’ll be back next year. A super holiday cottage and highly recommended.

  • "We had a fantastic week’s holiday at Demelza Cottage, very spacious and beautiful home in a quiet location."

    Hot tub was amazing and the space for our boys to play was outstanding, as well as having an entertaining space to sit outside and eat alfresco. Maureen and John were wonderful hosts and lovely people. Cream teas and little gifts for the boys were a wonderful touch and unique, never had that anywhere before. We were a close enough drive to various beaches but it was lovely to go back to the cottage to relax in tranquility. We cannot wait to return for our next visit.

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Demelza cottage."

    It's perfectly located to visit other parts of Cornwall and when you don't want to go out, you can enjoy the quiet outdoors and nature surrounding the cottage. On our 1st morning we were greeted by the wildlife in the field and loved it. When it's time to relax, the hottub is ready for you. We had excellent weather and were able to make great use of the hottub. Maureen is a great host and the welcome was very warm, the pasties absolutely lovely. We would have preferred a little less of the scented air fresheners but that is obviously very personal. We were travelling with an EV car so the ability to charge on the property was perfect and worked like a charm with the info provided.

    You feel so welcome it has become a home from home. A lot of thought had gone into making it somewhere to relax, well-equipped, with lovely touches. The dogs love the fields and garden and we love the peace and calm with entertaining wildlife - which can be watched from the hot tub - pure luxury!

    My husband and I decided to escape the stresses of Christmas and head down to Cornwall for the festive period. It was the best holiday we’ve ever had! The cottage was clean, warm and cosy and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Maureen was a lovely host and left toys and treats for our two dogs on arrival, which was a lovely touch. The cottage was very central to Truro, Falmouth and local beach and attractions.

    Maureen was so helpful and friendly and had really thought of everything that you may need. So many useful items included ‘just in case’, you needed them , from a sewing kit, iron & ironing board, electric clothes rack/dryer, hairdryer and electric fan to bathroom products that you may have forgotten to pack. The hot tub was lovely to relax in and it was such a quiet and peaceful location . A lovely large, enclosed garden and plenty of parking right next to the cottage too.

    Was really informative about the area and what we could do and was only a phone call away if we needed anything. Cottage was 1st class, clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We went with our 2 kids 16 and 15 and are dog, and all were made to feel welcome, dog was even provided with his own treats and toys so he was happy. Garden was massive snd secure so he had a ball. Hot tub was a god send as weather was not the best but with Maureen's advice we were busy all week visiting places we would not of done without her help, then hit the hot tub at night. Cottage was in such a quiet location so chilling at night was so easy. Honestly could not fault the Cottage or the owners, both first class. Thank you Maureen for letting us stay at your amazing property. Hoping to come back again soon.

    A very big thank you to Maureen and John. We travelled down to Cornwalll from Yorkshire and after a long drive were delighted to receive such welcome gifts not only in the form of a Cornish cream tea for my wife and I but super goodies for our two daughters and our dogs. First impressions still count today as they have always counted, Maureen has got it spot on! The cottage was immaculate and the kids and dogs loved the garden and the hot tub was enjoyed in the evening after a day on the beach. This is a fantastic property and one we will certainly aim to return to.

The cottage is lovely and very well equipped, with lots of little extra touches that make all the difference. It’s also very comfortable to relax in and with the two en suite bathrooms we never felt on top of each other as a family of four.

Ideally located for touring all of Cornwall and betwixt the two coastlines, Demelza is a contemporary new barn conversion within a countryside setting, situated just 5 miles outside Truro, near the village of Chacewater.

It sits in a large enclosed garden with a hot tub, wooden gazebo with built in seating, lighting and heating for dining al fresco in the day or evening, Demelza Cottage offers rural peace and the chance to unwind.

Remote but not isolated, this very special holiday home is approached by a secure gated entrance leading to over 8 acres of stunning private grounds shared with five other properties including the owner's farmhouse.

This special place is one you will never forget.
