About this property

Cosy cottage in sleepy village yet only 5 minute drive to Truro city centre.

Riversmeet is overlooking the stunning river and creek side views, close to the local family friendly pub and parks. You’ll love this place because of the tranquil location and cosy cottage feel with beautiful views yet being only 2km from the city centre. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). The property is for your sole use throughout your stay.
The downstairs is open plan to include the lounge and kitchen. There is a table that opens up for 4 places with 4 dining room chairs.

The other bedroom has two deluxe single beds, French doors and a full-length mirror with clothes hanging space. Both rooms have a large chest of drawers to keep your clothes in. The spacious bathroom is located between the two bedrooms which has a bath with shower, sink, toilet, heated towel rail and a cupboard with full length mirror. The cottage is fully carpeted upstairs, including the stairs, apart from the tiled floor bathroom. Downstairs is tiled with a plush rug in the seated area of the lounge and a hardwearing mat in the kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine

Host profile image
I am enjoying my retirement in Truro and have lots of interests keeping me busy. I am creative and arty. My daughter and grandchildren live nearby and I help out whenever needed. My daughter also helps me manage Riversmeet. I fell in love with Riversmeet when I first looked around it. It's a quaint cottage but it still feels airy and spacious. The modern tiled, open plan design downstairs with wood burner helps this feeling. Upstairs is also newly decorated and carpeted.

Why they chose this property

The sleepy village of Malpas belies an undercurrent of activity and is a popular dwelling for locals. There is a lovely family pub, community centre, ferry and a strong, resident spirit where many village activities are organised. There is a beautiful creek side view which all the residents can benefit from as their properties all face the river. There is no through road which significantly reduces the traffic in Malpas and a delightful countryside walk to the nearby village of St Clements.

What makes this property unique

The close proximity to the family, local pub means cooking is not a necessity when on holiday. There is a ferry outside Riversmeet which takes you to Falmouth and St Mawes for the National Maritime museum, 'Ships and Castle' swimming pool and gym, castles, fish and chips, many lovely pubs, beaches and shops. The lovely Boscawen park with tennis courts, new play area, football pitches, cricket club, duck pond, restaurant is half a mile away. Truro city is a 2 minute car journey or bus ride away with plenty of shops and restaurants to try out. The cinema, theatre, museum, bowling alley can all be found there.
