Featherbeds Cottage is set in a lovely, rural location, just one and a half miles from the cathedral city of Truro. Comfortably furnished, this detached property is the ideal base for couples and small families wishing to explore the delights of Cornwall.
It is a superbly remote and quiet location with only the Owners home next door.
The lounge/diner has a large, arched window and high ceilings, which accentuate the feeling of light and space. The attractive kitchen is modern with a traditional stone floor. Upstairs, the double bedroom has an arched ceiling and wooden beams. An archway (with a privacy curtain) leads to the second double room with a balcony overlooking the lounge. For this reason, the property is not suitable for young children. There is a large garden overlooking fields, where you can sit and enjoy the balmy evenings. The owner's gardens are close by and have a deep pond, so children must be supervised.

The Cathedral City of Truro is in the heart of Cornwall and offers a wealth of facilities for the visitor. Dominated by the stunning cathedral, it is one of the south west's most attractive cities. Lemon Quay plays host to many events throughout the year including the Cornwall Food & Drink Festival in the Autumn and the famous Truro Fatstock Show just before Christmas. Regular farmers markets occur every Wednesdays & Saturday and there are also arts & craft markets on Saturdays.
There is a wonderful range of shopping for the visitor including all the regular high street stores in addition to Marks & Spencer, Tescos & Sainsburys, but also a wide range of more specialist stores. It really is worth a wander through the back streets and alleys to find some fabulous little boutiques.
Truro has a superb range of restaurants from Bustopher Jones & Mannings on Lemon Street to the always popular Pizza Express. There are lively bars, pubs & nightclubs including the Old Ale House, a busy Wetherspoons and the infamous L2 if you are so inclined!
