One-bedroom holiday cottages, near Falmouth

Welcome to Trewena: your launchpad for Cornish adventures.

Three self-catering cottages on a three-acre smallholding, on the edge of Falmouth. Each one sleeps two: a king or super-king bed, your own kitchen, your own front door. The perfect base for exploring Cornwall. You'll wake up here and be on the South West Coast Path, in Falmouth's harbour, or driving the Lizard in no time.

A king-size bed with a breakfast tray and cafetiere, soft morning light through the French doors at The Tractor Shed.
Two coffee mugs on a wooden bench on the patio outside the cottage, French doors open behind.
The wood burner in Little Avalon's granite fireplace, copper pans hanging on the white wall, log basket beside.
The fire pit in the meadow at sunset, a bench with wine and glasses to one side, sky burning orange.
