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.

Exceeded our expectations. Maureen & John are superb hosts. Great detail was paid to all aspects of the cottage. Nothing was too much trouble. Great stay!

Itâs of a very high standard and 5 star for cleanliness. Maureen provides everything that you could possibly need, she also left a lovely toy for our granddaughter to use and then take home too. There are even treats and toys for your dog if they are joining you. There is plenty of room and the large garden is a brilliant bonus. The hot tub was a welcome addition to relax in after a busy day of sightseeing and running round with our toddler grandchild. This is the second year that weâve stayed at Demelza and weâve already booked again for next year too. Weâre looking forward to our next stay.

Nothing was to much trouble friendly and inviting. The dog was so welcomed with goodies and his own blankets and towels. Lovely hot tub that was used every day. Will definitely return. It was PERFECT
