Clean and very comfortable cottage
Morwenna is a lovely place to stay. It was very clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water and heating available too. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we might need and the cottage was well furnished with enough storage for our luggage etc. Parking was easy and the covered outdoor seating area overlooking the garden was an added bonus. Martin was a great host and met us on arrival, showing us around the cottage and explaining the cooker, heating etc which was very helpful.

great little property
the property was in a lovely setting, host was very friendly and inviting upon arrival - even leaving us a small welcome treat of some fresh bread, cheese, butter and milk. the property was well equipped, clean and comfortable and in a great location for visiting any part of Cornwall. Within a few minutes drive there were local amenities and the City of Truro itself with regular train and buses to connect you to other areas if you wished. I would definitely recommend the property to others.

Excellent base to access both the north and south coast.
We have had a lovely stay at Morwenna. The location has been ideal for accessing both the north and south coast of Cornwall. Truro is 10 minutes away by car and has all the amenities we needed. We liked being close to the coast to coast bike ride too. We had a comfortable stay and it has been very suitable for our 9 year old son and us. It was clean and well maintained. We felt very comfortable even when we had a stormy night. The WiFi was very useful too.

A good choice for a last minute break. It was clean in a very quiet area able to hear the birds,.
Not used to write 100 characters. It was clean, quiet and peaceful. The birds were singing and so we were very happy. We had a good welcome and were instructed on the use of various appliances. The place was spotless and the arrival feast was very welcome. We had a very peaceful break which was needed.

Morwena holiday self catering
Excellent place to stay in Cornwall, one minor gripe as advertised as having WI-FI but it did not. I would still recommend for anyone to stay, a nice welcome and it is quiet and secluded with lovely views over the countryside.

summer holiday
A super place to stay -quiet, well equipped and a great location from which to tour Cornwall. We would have liked to have had WiFi but that would be our only criticism.

Tranquil and immaculate. Wonderful value for money. Highly recommended.
Fabulous place to stay for 2 adults and a 10 year old. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped with a useful welcome pack, top quality super comfy bed, wonderful, large shower. Loved the raised. covered patio overlooking woods. Parking adjacent to accommodation, garden perfect for a holiday (and bar-b-q s) - very private. Great location, very rural, but only minutes from Truro and main routes, easy to head north or south for the day. I would definitely stay here again. Only downside, sofa bed small and not too comfy (as is the nature of sofa beds) and WIFI would be a useful addition. I would think it would be a little bit of a squeeze for 4 adults.

A great find
Had a very enjoyable week. Central for all parts of Cornwall. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed. We particularly enjoyed the private patio and garden area which we managed to use every day. Lovely quiet location.

Absolutely wonderful retreat
We loved morwenna. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is furnished to a very high standard and is by far the cleanest self catering property I have experienced. Two very minor points would be only 1 toilet roll for stay is not adequate. We were provided with brand new towels which were wonderful however they malted severely, they were green and was embarrassing at the amount that was left on you when leaving the place to go sightseeing. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this place. We would love to visit in the future.

First class and can recommend to anyone.
To say that cleanlyness, comfort and available help were good is a gross understatement. The help given in the case of my wife's mobility problem was immediate and very kind. The whole place exudes quality of equipment, convenience and comfort. We have rarely come across such a nice place to stay over the many years of renting property both in the UK and in France and Germany..
