CHRISTINE
We enjoyed our stay at Trebellan very much. It is a comfortable home in a lovely location a 10 minute walk from the beach. The accommodation is comfortable and it was very clean. We had stayed there the year before and we were pleased to see that our recommendations for improvement had been acted upon.The hot tub is a lovely benefit and we enjoyed using it. Trebellan is in a delightful part of Cornwall with easy access to other popular areas such as St Ives, Truro, Perranporth etc. We enjoyed the restaurant at the Unicorn Pub in the village and we found everyone very friendly. The beach is lovely and although we don’t body board or surf, we enjoyed watching other enthusiasts. Trebellan is perhaps not suitable for those with limited mobility.Porthtowan is a place where families and their pets can really enjoy themselves.
