Snuggledown

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at Snuggledown. The cottage had everything we could have possibly have needed and is perfectly located to explore Cornwall. Our 18 month old LOVED greeting the cows in the field opposite in the morning. Verna was so incredibly helpful and on hand to answer any questions. The garden was great for the dog too. We cannot wait to visit again.

This is a wonderful cottage, we loved all the windows. Very well equipped! We had a very restful 2 weeks there. The garden is fabulous and so much space our dogs loved it. If you are unlucky enough, like us, to need a vet, the recommended vet is amazing! Please feed the Robin who is so tame, come for breakfast every day!

A lovely house - perfect for a couple and a dog! The living area was spacious comfortably furnished with a wonderful outlook over the garden and surrounding fields. The garden was huge, well kept and our dog thoroughly enjoyed chasing the many rabbits! The owners were very friendly and made sure everything was perfect

If you are a lover of nature, beautiful countryside and you like peace and quiet then this property is for you. As others have mentioned, the lanes leading up to it are very narrow, but in the whole of our July week we only bumped onto one other car. The cottage was spacious, had everything we needed, and the owner is lovely and made us very welcome. There are some lovely beaches nearby and local pubs serving good food. From the property you can walk down into the historic and beautiful Luxulyan Valley. The Eden Project is only 2 miles away and there are many other interesting places to visit in the surrounding area. We loved our week at Snuggledown.

Our cottage was very spacious for 2 people and so private, comfortable and warm, in a lovely rural setting. There is the original farmhouse built in Cornish stone, where the owner lives, and the other 2 barns have been converted into holiday accommodation. The larger property, Trethevey, could sleep up to 6 people, so it would make a wonderful place for family gatherings. We explored old haunts and discovered lots of new ones and were never too far from everyday facilities. The owner was most warm and welcoming and there on hand if required, but never intrusive. We are missing her already!

We loved our restful stay at Snuggledown, a spacious property with plenty of storage including a cloakroom area for muddy boots, wet coats and hiking sticks. Even had a seat for putting our boots on. Verna gave us a warm welcome, offered garden produce and kindly dried our wet boots by her Aga! Blackberries are in abundance for mixed fruit compote in September. The accommodation itself was a tonic to us with beautiful garden views through floor to ceiling windows and blackout curtains in the bedroom. A handy wardrobe has been added in the bedroom since the website photos. Loved exploring local beaches, quiet country lanes, Luxylan valley and ferry rides. Great to be back visiting old much loved haunts! Verna is a very lovely host and very accommodating of our needs providing additional help and advice including where to get the best Cornish Pasty!

A lovely comfortable cottage with a lovely garden and in beautiful settings. Verna was so lovely and friendly. This was our third time at Snuggledown, hope to be back soon.

If you want a peaceful, relaxing stay with excellent wifi in a rural setting then Snuggledown is the place to go to. The owner Mrs Roberts was there on hand if you needed anything at all but was never intrusive in fact she was very supportive . The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you needed including plenty of hot water a very comfortable bed and good TV and mobile reception . I would certainly recommend staying there.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable. Good woodland walk and central location for travelling out and about. Dog loved chasing the squirrels and rabbits and talking to the cows in adjacent field! Not our first time there and we will be back again.

Snuggledown was quite excellent in every way - exactly what we wanted in a peaceful location, not too far from everyday facilities. Situated with direct pedestrian access to the Luxulyan Valley World Heritage Site without having to go on the road, it is perfect for dog owners with well-behaved pets. Even in winter, it is light and airy, with lovely rural views. The cottage was comfortable and immaculately presented, and our reception was warm and welcoming. We recommend it highly and hope to return ourselves.

We had a very nice 14 day stay in Snuggledown and enjoyed the time there very much. The cottage is very well equipped and we were very well looked after by the helpful owner. Snuggledown is ideal as a starting point for trips to the surrounding area and to the beaches. However, the narrow streets to the cottage need to get used to. All in all highly recommended.

The property is in a most idyllic quiet rural area and there are lovely walks straight from the property into the surrounding countryside and woodland areas. A wonderfully, peaceful retreat and yet within easy reach of the coast and all that that offers.

I was so lucky with warm sunshine all week, so really enjoyed the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden - so peaceful and relaxing, watching bunnies in the garden, the cows beyond the fence and often no sound apart from birdsong and the occasional moo! The large windows in the bedroom too were a delight for morning tea in bed. Cottage was spacious and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The bathroom was clean and warm with constant hot water. The water is from a spring so very soft too. The drive to/from the main road is a mile through narrow lanes (from A390) - keep an eye out for the passing places - but I didn't meet any traffic all week. Probably not that good for a low-slung or wide car but this time of year, lined with bluebells, campions and wild garlic. A trip to Fowey - I'd suggest parking in the main car park at the top of the hill and getting the shuttle bus into the village; £1 down the hill and £2 back up again! Lovely village with lots of cute shops. Truro - recommend the park & ride which is well signposted and easy to use - £2.20 pay on the bus. Next to the Tregurra car park is a Waitrose and next to that is a shop selling Cornish and local produce with a good fresh fish section. Big thank you to host, Verna, who was very helpful, friendly and kind and a mine of local information.

Lovely light airy living area with very comfortable chairs for sitting in and enjoying the views. With the large windows right to the ground, we were also able to experience the views from the bedroom (really nice to wake up and enjoy that cuppa in bed!) The hall area, just inside the front door, was very useful for hanging coats, drying wellies (we hit some rainy weather!) and was well-stocked with practical storage baskets.

We loved the location of this cottage, right next to a wonderful woodland walk Property was warm and comfortable, the owner , Verner, couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful, we felt like firm friends immediately. Access to the property was down quite a narrow lane but after a couple of days we were more confident. A nearby pub in a gorgeous village was handy and only a few minutes' drive away. We loved our entire holiday

The name says it all, a late September holiday and looking out of the full height windows you can watch nature all day, there is a footpath through the woods, which was a bit overgrown (end of season) so didn't manage the full walk. A gorgeous modern barn conversion that retains thick walls and beams. Facilities include dish washer and washing machine, WiFi worked well with sky (only Freeview available to us) and dvd player The lovely lady owner is on hand if any problems and once you figured out the journey the local pub in Luxulyan serves delicious home cooked food and very recommendable

Had a fabulous weeks holiday staying at Snuggledown. Perfectly positioned and a lovely cosy cottage. Will be recommending and hopefully staying again in the future.

Snuggledown Cottage, Par is a delightful place to stay. Very peaceful in the heart of rural Cornwall. The drive to the cottage through country lanes is narrow. If you have a very smart car maybe not advisable. I would go back there now if I could. Spacious for two people, beautifully put together. I hope I may go again one day with my husband.

The owner was absolutely lovely and the cottage was immaculate. There was milk in the fridge, biscuits, bottle of wine and cleaning stuff too! Lovely large garden area and lots of parking. We had a fabulous time.

Snuggledown is a really well equipped, well thought out little place in a very peaceful and beautiful part of Cornwall. The owner is lovely; really friendly and helpful but also nicely unobtrusive. It is a great location for visiting sites all around the county but the approach lanes to the property are very narrow, even for Cornish lanes, so stock up in advance so you can relax once you arrive. Be prepared for some exciting manoeuvres if you meet another car but don't worry too much as this rarely happens - I only met one during a week long stay. There are some amazing walks from the doorstep so if you like walking, or want some new running routes, then this place is just perfect.

Beautiful views and lovely woodland walk straight from the cottage. Perfect for a holiday with dogs.

Snuggledown is a very nice well maintained property with wonderful views across open countryside and an excellent friendly owner (Verna ). Unfortunately the recommended route to the property given by classic cottages did not explain that it is only suitable for small cars, my holiday was spoilt by the damage caused to the paintwork on both sides of my car by thick bramble bushes that stick out into the road. A better alternative route is available which the owner made us aware of once she saw the damage to my car. The low rating reflects the damage to my car which could have been avoided.

Excellent place to stay for our holiday with lovely surrounding countryside and lots of wildlife and walking.

Snuggledown is a cosy, but light-filled country retreat. It is within reach of the sea as well. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The host, Verna, was very welcoming and providing us with milk, tea and coffee, as well as wine and biscuits for our arrival was much appreciated.

Lovely cottage, with wonderful views in a wonderful setting and with a truly wonderful host.

Snuggledown is a lovely little cottage, with some nice woodland walks close by, there are plenty of places to visit within the local area. The owner Verna is very friendly and provided a nice welcome with wine, biscuits and milk.

Clean and tidy property with all needs catered for. Very quiet and peaceful.

As on our previous visit we were so well looked after by Verna (Roberts) and really felt at home. It is the perfect location for real peace and quiet (not to mention clear night sky) and we felt very relaxed after our stay. An added bonus for us is that it is close to old haunts as my parents lived and are buried in the nearby village of Luxulyan, so we know the area really well, and still have other family in the area.

This is a beautiful cottage, perfect for those who just want to switch off and enjoy the countryside and peace and quiet. At the same time it also central to many beautiful places you can visit if you wish. Lovely walks without needing to go in the car at all, even heard owls at night! We will definitely be back.

We spent a week at Snuggledown for our honeymoon and loved it. A bottle of wine & lovely biscuits were waiting for us, however once Verna ( the owner) knew we were newleyweds she popped in with another bottle of Prosecco!!! Snuggledown is very appropriately named !! Incredibly peaceful, very clean, beautiful views over the valley and the bed was so comfortable we have returned home and ordered a new mattress!!! Thank you Verna for making our honeymoon memorable in many ways. Looking to book with family for next year. We thoroughly recommend Snuggledown ?? xx

I can highly recommend this cottage, it is very comfy, spacious but cosy at the same time. It is perfectly located for a variety of attractions and is also near to the coast. What more could you want.

Verna was a fabulous host - very kind and warm and welcoming. The house was fabulous and had everything we needed and more!! Brilliant location - couldn't have been a more perfect place to stay!!

We loved our time at Snuggledown. Verna was lovely and welcoming. It was perfect for us. Only one suggestion in that a couple of sun loungers would have been a lot more comfortable for sitting out in the courtyard. After a while the plastic chairs were just too uncomfortable.

We had an excellent week at Snuggledown, with a warm welcome from Verna. The cottage is very conveniently located for visiting Fowey, the Eden Project, Lanhydrock etc. So many great walks in the area, including the coastal path and through the woods to the Luxulyan Valley - an ideal location for walkers.

This is the perfect cottage in which to unwind and be totally comfortable, away from the crowds, but near our favourite places if we wanted to go beyond local walks. It is a really special place, in a beautiful, unspoilt and little known area. Verna is an exceptional owner, with nothing too much trouble, and we hope to return before too long.

A lovely cottage in super quiet peaceful surroundings. Great for local walks. Very well furnished and adapted. Light and airy ambience. Great to sit outside in garden. Owner very helpful.

We loved our time at snuggledown! We got engaged during our stay and the owner gave us some wine which was lovely. The sofas were super comfy which is great after a long day. The drive to the cottage itsself is very tight but we didn't mind. Would recommend snuggledown to others.

If you are precious about your car, and it is quite large, the mile long drive down to the cottage is exceedingly narrow and rubbed down both sides of our car. It didn’t damage it but sounded like might.

Cottage is comfortable and the owner (Verna) is very friendly. The garden is well kept & could be shared with customers of the owner’s larger cottage behind Snuggledown. Although, areas are enclosed from the fields, there is a gate to the owners’ that is mainly open that dogs can get into the lane/roads. Verna offered to close it when our dog escaped but all visitors (gardeners etc) leave it open: it was only closed once our stay so we used a long line lead to keep our dog safe. The car parking is in the garden for both rental properties. We hadn’t fully understood that the route to the cottage would be such a difficult drive along high hedgerow, one car width roads. Both sides of our car was subjected to grazing. Verna did tell us about a ‘slightly’ wider road in & out to the cottage on arrival. The isolation of the cottage has advantages of peacefulness but DO take main provisions for arrival as although the cottage had tea, coffee, biscuits & bottle of wine…We had overlooked milk so had to head back through the tight lane/road to find a shop in Blazey. Not much there but the garage had milk! Ask Verna for secateurs if you take the gate through to the woods as it’s very overgrown & difficult to access the wonderful aqua duct - woods via this stretch. We had great weather so managed to dry washing on the outside line but with only one bottom bed sheet & one set of towels supplied, it could be difficult to launder & be in use in one day, in poor weather. However, I’m sure Verna , who lives in the same grounds as Snuggledown, would be able to give you further bedding if you ask. There is a brush & hoover supplied but nothing to clean/wash the floor. If you take a dog, you’ll have to ensure paws are washed & dried outside. There is an odd/random cream sofa placed in the corner of the room where the photos show the dining table. We assume the room furniture has been updated as the grey sofa & chair are not shown in the photos. Wardrobe space is in the door entrance area opposite the bathroom: no hanging space in the bedroom. We enjoyed our week at the cottage but the drive to & from it to explore the area was off- putting. Highly recommend the woodland walk by the aqua duct: turn left from snuggledown and follow the road to the car park and walk left or access via the overgrown lane at the side of the cottage via a gate.

A very quiet peaceful rural location, but accessible to many interesting Cornish towns and places of interest. A cosy and comfortable place to stay.

Good location for exploring that area of Cornwall.

This is a delightful cottage which is comfortable to stay in and it is perfectly situated for all a holidaymaker's needs.

Plenty of great walks with no driving involved.

We had a lovely week in this comfortable, well equipped cottage. It was great to come back to after a day out and sit and enjoy the view.

Very well presented and comfortable. A very accommodating and helpful lady Mrs Roberts.

A great 'away from it all' location, peaceful and relaxing, yet not far from lovely beaches and small towns.

Snuggledown is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy peace and quiet, with the beautiful Vuxulyan on your doorstep and lovely beaches near by you couldn't ask for more

A big thank you to Verna and Kay for a lovely peaceful break in your beautiful cottage. The cream tea on arrival was yummy and the homemade jam just right Perfect location for visiting Fowey (The Ship Inn excellent food and friendly atmosphere) The Eden project Lost gardens of Heligan Charlestown and Mevagissey The Luxulyan Valley walk from the cottage is lovely and when you find the 100ft viaduct awesome Frans kitchen ( small bakery in Lostwithiel) has the best pasties ever Will definitely be coming back

A superb holiday cottage in a lovely setting, with lovely , helpful owners .

The owner and her daughter are the loveliest of people and made myself and my dogs very welcome. The most exquisite home baked scones, with home made blackcurrant preserve awaited , along with beautiful flowers everywhere. Area convenient for so many places , whether moors or beaches and some lovely ancient towns are nearby. I cannot rate Snugledown and the owners highly enough.

I would highly recommend this property to any wishing for a relaxed and comfortable holiday in Cornwall. Brilliantly situated to visit a whole host of attractions. In a word wonderful

Sniggledown is a wonderful holiday home that has the feel of a cottage yet the natural light and space of a modern apartment. Those enjoying woodland walks are in for a real treat as you can set off from the cottage without jumping into the car. In the spring, the blankets of bluebells are truly stunning. The only interruption at Snuggledown is from a small herd of very nosey bullocks who line up at the garden fence waiting to be entertained.

A very cosy cottage in a most fabulous location if you like walking! A really lovely owner too.

Superb cottage in a picturesque tranquil location. Verna is a very welcoming owner who is keen to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as did our three dogs! Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere comfortable and quiet to stay, with easy access to woodland walks and both North and South coasts.

Snuggledown is a lovely property peaceful and quiet with wildlife to watch every day. Walks in the wood from property or fields Jake wirehaired dacshound really enjoyed himself. Owner Verna was brilliant nothing too much trouble, came round during storm to make sure we were ok. Would thoroughly recommend this property.every facility

The meadow in front of the house and the garden are free to use and can be used, for example, for outdoor yoga

A gorgeous little cottage, perfect for couples. Very helpful and friendly owners. Stunning countryside views and a very peaceful setting, a perfect get-away-from-it-all summer break. Great area for walking and close to some lovely beaches and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again.

A warm welcome from the house owner who ensures you have everything you need.

We all had a fantastic stay, great location, peaceful with plenty of walks right from the back garden, the owners son was extremely accommodating from the moment we arrived (11.45pm!!) plenty of space. Had a wonderful holiday thank you so much. Charlotte, Andy and Oscar Simpson

A very attractive and comfortable cottage with a lovely outlook, in an area with convenient access to the coast by car.

Beautiful conversion. Lovely view and lots of light in winter through the windows.

An absolute home from home ! Very light , airy and warm . Nicely furnished .Loved it ! Can recommend .

Great location and good for our dog walking from the door through the woods and a dog friendly beach nearby. Lovely cottage and would go back again.

This is a very well located, charming cottage, where the owner is very helpful, friendly and has thought of everything you would need.

Less than one mile from the main road, an ideal location for touring, particularly close to the Eden Project. Pleasantly decorated and laid out, along with a welcoming, helpful and friendly nearby owner.

Comfortable cottage, very tranquil but well placed for many places of interest - would highly recommend. Really lovely Owner!

A perfect cottage to explore the south and the north of cornwall

Very friendly welcome and superb cream tea waiting for us on arrival. Very dog friendly with lovely walks.

This is a really first class place to stay, particularly if you like walking.

Beautiful location surrounded by fields and woods in the Luxulyan Valley. Very handy for The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

A wonderful welcome to Snuggledown with a cream tea set out for us! The cottage is so peaceful with beautiful views!

Perfect for a quiet holiday with plenty of dog walking directly from the Snuggledown.

Property exceeded expectations. Lovely views from the huge windows and peaceful setting. We enjoyed the beautiful Luxulyan Valley walks from the door and many more just a short drive away. Warm and friendly welcome from the owners. Have already recommended this property to friends and family!

An idyllic place to spend a holiday, close to all Cornwall offers with special areas like the woodland walks and stream on your doorstep Relaxing and enjoyable with a lovely host Verna.

The cottage is in a lovely, tranquil location with direct access to the woods and Luxulyan valley. The coast is a short drive away and there are also many other sites within easy reach - overall its a great base. The cottage was clean, very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Snuggledown is a lovey well maintained property situated in a picturesque, tranquil location. A great place to get away from it all and recharge your batteries yet still within easy access of many of Cornwall's attractions.

Beautiful position. Lots of walks right on your doorstep in the wood and then into the Luxulyan valley. We were made to feel very welcome and had no problems at all. Would love to go again.

This cottage offered us peace and quiet for us to relax in wonderful countryside. We have had a lovely holiday and re-booked for another week later in the year.

This cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway, but you will certainly not be cut off from all the fun things to do as well. I highly recommend it.

A perfect cottage in a perfect location. I will happily recommend it to all my friends and would love to stay here again.

This was our sixth visit to Snuggledown. We love the area and the peace and quiet. The owners are always very welcoming and helpful. We will be back!

If you want to to recharge your batteries this is the place to go, beautiful cottage well equipped location perfect for walking and nature. Owner lovely

A well presented property in an ideal location for dog owners like us.

Walking in the private woodland was a real bonus. Also watching the different birds feeding right outside the expansive windows was fantastic.

Will definitley be visiting again

We do a lot of walking holidays and this is one of the best cottages we have stayed in for space, location , equipment. We would definitely book again. The lady who owns it is also very nice, welcoming and approachable.

We had a wonderful holiday - we have been to Trethevey twice before, both times to the big cottage,with family, this time we were on our own with the dogs. Snuggledown is an extremely comfortable cottage with a wonderfully peaceful, almost serene atmosphere, just perfect to unwind and re-charge your batteries. We had some awful weather, very windy with rain coming down in sheets, but the cottage stayed warm and we felt very cosy and relaxed. Thanks to Verna and Kay for making this little slice of heaven available to us.

Would definitely visit again, owners are lovely and brilliant location for a dog as woodland walks right on doorstep and garden is lovely too.

Good central location for exploring Cornwall. The cottage is light and airy with great views of the countryside beyond the garden. Owner is welcoming and very helpful. Single track road for about a mile to the cottage, but don't be put off - the peace and tranquility are worth it.

Snuggledown is great for peace and quiet, yet, although tucked away, it is close enough to all the numerous attractions the area has to offer. I will definately recommend it to others.

Excellent location for any area in the county and for Plymouth, or if it is a quiet time for relaxation you could not pick a better spot with beautiful views and surroundings.

A lovely cottage, very comfortable and wonderfully located near the Luxulyan valley. A very quite location - well away from crowds but not too far to drive to places of interest of which there are many e.g. Fowey, Lanhydrock, Lost Gardens etc. Owner very helpful indeed. Local pub very friendly and serves good pub food. We had a super stay. Many thanks!

A lovely place to relax in gorgeous surroundings!

This cottage met all our expectations. We could hardly imagine there were any cottages as nice as this one. The owner family are very pleasant people.

Take lots of books and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

Howard and Verna were the most helpful of owners. Cream tea greeted us on arrival. Would definately recommend this property.

So peaceful

Lovely accommodation. Friendly and helpful owners. Quiet and restful location.

Excellent stay - really friendly and helpful owners and easy access to all the places we wanted to visit

Dont book this cottage unless you like peace and quiet. Bring at least one good book and then sit back and relax.
