Loafers Glory has one double bedroom with an en suite shower room, making it ideal for a couple. There is an open plan living area with newly fitted kitchen and sitting room, as well as a tastefully decorated conservatory (with new roof this year). Centrally heated throughout. You have a choice of two outside seating barbecue areas, one has a parasol for protection from the sun, the other is under a weather proof pergola to enjoy all weather outside relaxation, with a hammock seat to kickback in.

You are welcome to use our free Wi-Fi internet network with your own mobile device or the SMART HD TV. There is a good selection of books, novels, guides and maps available for your use including cookery books. The Krups Coffee maker has proved to be popular.

After a day’s adventure, you will find Loafers Glory the perfect place to return to unwind with a cold drink in the garden or conservatory, or maybe cook with fresh herbs from the garden on a the barbecues, reflecting on your day and planning the next.

The entrance to Loafers Glory is through the double doors of the Conservatory area which is arranged as a Dining Room with bone china tea and dining service. On a fine day you can throw the doors open and eat al fresco under the pergola by the pond or by the figs and grape vine. A large radiator, blinds, HIFI and sofa allow privacy, comfort and flexibility throughout the year in the conservatory. A romantic dining atmosphere overlooking the enclosed garden stocked with magnolia, hydrangea, roses and fuchsia is quite special. We are fortunate to have an abundance of wildlife in this quiet spot which you can watch from the comfort of your 'home away'.

    We really enjoyed our stay with Peter and Shelley. The accommodation was lovely, seperate to the main house set within the garden. Very secluded and with outdoor seating and table alongside a koi pool with its gentle waterfall as a backdrop. The village is secluded above a large reservoir with good road access back towards Falmouth. Personally I’d recommend driving that way out towards Falmouth as some of the surrounding lanes are very narrow for those unfamiliar with countryside living. We would both fully recommend staying here if you get the chance. We took the advice of previous guests and had a lovely holiday. Thank you both Dave and Kay.

    This is one of the loveliest properties I have ever stayed in. I was actually quite tearful about leaving it.Beautifully comfortable, perfectly appointed and had everything we could possibly need there.Especially enjoyed being able to have a glass of wine of an evening in the covered over gazebo area with the babbling fish pond behind me.

    This is a great place to stay. The house is tastefully furnished, comfortable, quiet, and has all the modern appliances we needed. Sitting in the conservatory for our meals was like sitting in a restaurant with a view over the well-kept garden. It's set in a small village with a pleasant walk around the local lake. Just a couple of miles from Falmouth, we also had easy access to services and leisure activities.

    This was a very comfortable stay, the accommodation was spacious and very homely. Our host went above and beyond to make our stay easy and pleasant. Nice and quiet area and about a 15 minute drive to Falmouth. Highly recommend this stay.

    Loafers Glory Treverva Falmouth Was glorious and lots of loafing, was done ? Thank you both for a fabulous week, made extra special with all your little touches, such as fresh flowers, tea tray, table laid, on arrival, milk, drinks, and groceries to get us started, and bathrobes to save us packing. We also enjoyed your CDs as we dined on home-cooked local produce. In August for Falmouth, Tall Ships we had a week of all seasons, glorious, sunshine, torrential rain, storm, Betty, glorious sunshine. We walked to local pubs, the new inn at Mabe, Twice, fab food! including a night walk back around the reservoir, and the Trelowarren. Friday fireworks viewed from PizzaExpress were great. On-board Tall ships was definitely a fab experience (after a 1.5 hour hot and sunny queue). Sad we missed the laser shows and crew parades, which were not as well advertised. Thanks for letting us stay the extra night after the storm. The Sun returned and we had a wonderful day at Swan pool beach. Definitely a gloriously loafing week, hope to stay again in the future.
