About this property
Ideally located for touring all of Cornwall and betwixt the two coastlines, Demelza is a contemporary new barn conversion within a countryside setting, situated just 5 miles outside Truro, near the village of Chacewater. It sits in a large enclosed garden with a hot tub, wooden gazebo with built in seating, lighting and heating for dining al fresco in the day or evening, Demelza Cottage offers rural peace and the chance to unwind. Step inside and discover a light and spacious interior furnished in a contemporary country style. The open plan living room, with wood burner, incorporates a large squashy leather sofa, an oak dining table with pretty garden views and a kitchen packed with good quality appliances including a coffee maker. Bedrooms feature sumptuous beds (which can be presented as doubles or twins) adorned with throws and cushions and tip top en-suite bathrooms. Luxurious bed linens and thick fluffy towels are a given. Remote but not isolated, this very special holiday home is approached by a secure gated entrance leading to over 8 acres of stunning private grounds shared with five other properties including the owner's farmhouse. This special place is one you will never forget.
Truro is the retail centre of Cornwall with a good range of independent shops as well as national stores all within a compact city centre. With its eclectic range of art galleries, bars, restaurants, cinema, theatre, museum and outstanding cathedral this small city is a superb year round destination. Steeped in history and intriguing architecture there is always plenty to do and see. Just meandering through the Georgian cobbled streets is a pleasure in itself.

Hot tub was amazing and the space for our boys to play was outstanding, as well as having an entertaining space to sit outside and eat alfresco. Maureen and John were wonderful hosts and lovely people. Cream teas and little gifts for the boys were a wonderful touch and unique, never had that anywhere before. We were a close enough drive to various beaches but it was lovely to go back to the cottage to relax in tranquility. We cannot wait to return for our next visit.

You feel so welcome it has become a home from home. A lot of thought had gone into making it somewhere to relax, well-equipped, with lovely touches. The dogs love the fields and garden and we love the peace and calm with entertaining wildlife - which can be watched from the hot tub - pure luxury!

It's perfectly located to visit other parts of Cornwall and when you don't want to go out, you can enjoy the quiet outdoors and nature surrounding the cottage. On our 1st morning we were greeted by the wildlife in the field and loved it. When it's time to relax, the hottub is ready for you. We had excellent weather and were able to make great use of the hottub. Maureen is a great host and the welcome was very warm, the pasties absolutely lovely. We would have preferred a little less of the scented air fresheners but that is obviously very personal. We were travelling with an EV car so the ability to charge on the property was perfect and worked like a charm with the info provided.
