About this property

Fal River Cottage - sleeps 3 guests in 2 bedrooms

Fal River Cottage is a small, dog-friendly, traditional cottage, which benefits from the most amazing river views. It is based in Malpas (near Truro) and is just three doors down from the very popular Heron Inn.

The cottage itself dates to the 1800's and was tastefully renovated in 2019, offering traditional features alongside modern-living luxuries.

To the front, there is a small decked area which is ideal for alfresco breakfasts. This leads into the lounge, which is well equipped with a log burner, TV, books and games. To the rear of the cottage there is a new kitchen/dining area, which is well equipped for home cooking.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, which share a traditional ‘Jack'n'Jill' bathroom. There is a spacious and light double bedroom allowing you to watch the river as you lie in bed. The second bedroom is a cozy single, which also serves as access to the rear garden.

There are steep stairs leading to the rear garden featuring two separate seating areas, which both benefit from the amazing river views. The upper level is great for kicking back and lying down on those hot summer days when a little shade is welcome. The lower, patio area is more open and offers comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of Cornish countryside.

About the host

Host profile image
We just fell in love with the views from Malpas and jumped at the chance to buy a cottage which benefits from those views. We've stayed in the cottage ourselves on several occasions and never get bored of the views. We try to get to the cottage when we don't have guests staying. However, we underestimated how popular it would be since it is usually fully booked from March through to October. However, we do enjoy our winter trips to the cottage as there's always something happening in nearby Truro and we love the dog walks along the river.

What makes this property unique

We're located just three doors down from the very popular Heron Inn. Most of our guests enjoy at least one meal at the pub during their stay.

We also benefit from three different (outdoor) seating areas to make the most of those views.
