Coombe Villa

Stunning Cornish cottage, nestled in a tranquil riverside location

Coombe Villa could be straight out of a romance novel; an idyllic Cornish cottage nestled in a tranquil waterside location on the beautiful River Fal, yet just a few miles from the cathedral city of Truro.

Full of quintessential charm, Coombe Villa retains many of its original features – from the stain glass window to the Cornish stone walling – while adding touches of luxury touches for the ultimate Cornish getaway. A stunning stone cottage, through the picket gate and striking front door, guests will appreciate the light that floods this property, thanks to the large original sash windows.

Sleeping up to six guests, Coombe Cottage’s layout adds to the charm of this house. On the ground floor you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms, which benefit from large bay windows. Both also boast generously sized en suite bathrooms; one with a lavish roll top bath with separate shower, and the other with a bath with shower over. Meanwhile the sumptuous beds are zip ‘n’ link, allowing guests the flexibility to have them set up as a super king or a twin.

Upstairs, is the hub of the home, with stunning elevated views of the River Fal embellished with boats bobbing along the water. Featuring an open-plan space, with wooden floor throughout, the well-equipped kitchen, in true country style with Belfast sink, has everything you need to cook up a storm.  There’s an electric oven and hob, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, under-counter fridge and separate freezer, microwave,  kettle, Dualit toaster. Coffee aficionados will also appreciate the espresso machine to kickstart the day.

The bright living room and dining area is a wonderful space. At one end there’s a cosy space to relax with a woodburner, large sinkable sofa and arm chair, plus a TV for when you tire of the view. The wooden dining table comfortably seats six and is a superb spot to enjoy a family feast.

Also on the first floor is the third bedroom, which is a lovely children’s room. With shorter style wooden bunk beds, a TV, and an adjoining WC.

Enveloped by water, naturally guests will relish in spending time outside Coombe Villa. The pretty garden features a patio with outdoor furniture and a BBQ for some al fresco cooking.

With its own private parking we can appreciate that guests won’t want to leave the magical village of Coombe, set in its own tranquil heaven. However, you’re well placed to explore Cornwall, just four miles south of Truro, with its restaurants, independent boutiques and mainline rail links. Much of the surrounding countryside is owned and managed by the National Trust, including nearby Trelissick Gardens, and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with numerous country and creek-side coastal walks to enjoy.
