The Homestead

The garden is the first thing worth noting at The Homestead. It is enclosed and wraps round the house, with a lawn overlooking the river, a patio and furniture, and the garden room has bi-fold doors onto the patio. The house is in Trerice, near Newquay.

Inside, the lounge has a log burner and there is a snug or playroom with its own TV. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, a Range oven, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer, and a utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. Fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included.

Six guests sleep across three bedrooms. The king-size bedroom, which can be set up as a twin on request, has its own TV and an en-suite walk-in shower. The other two are a double and a twin. A family bathroom has a free-standing bath, and a ground-floor shower room adds a third bathroom.

EV charging is available, and off-road parking is for two cars. The shop is 1.4 miles away and the pub 2.3 miles. Dogs are welcome; if you are bringing more than one, check with the owners before you book.

Smoking is not allowed. The house suits a family or two couples sharing, and it is best for guests who want an enclosed garden and a car charge point. Newquay is the nearby town.
