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.

Guest from Cheltenham stayed for 7 nights.
We had a brilliant week at Sunlight cottage. The hosts were great, Close if you need them but didnt intrude on our week in any way. The cottage itself had everything we needed as a family of four. We all slept really well as its so quiet and no street lights waking us up! Location wise, its was perfect for what we wanted. We visited a different beach every day and were happy to travel around a bit. We will definitely return if we are in the area again.

Guest from Leamington Spa stayed for 7 nights.
For somewhere that is peaceful, well cared for and in easy reach of north and south coasts this is a very good place to stay. It is equipped to the right level in the kitchen, we like to cook. The dining and living space met our needs. The picnic table was well used being in a sun trap next to the cottage. Also important to us is a comfortable bed and a good shower, the cottage had these. We will be going back.

Guest from Torquay stayed for 7 nights.
The beds weren't really that comfy and not big enough in master bedroom plus there was a bit of damp too. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and it was value for money we paid.
We were saddened to read that you were not entirely happy with the beds. The master bedroom has a standard sized double as listed and all beds have thick, quality mattresses selected for comfort which usually generate positive feedback. Knowing that mattress and pillow hardness is a very personal issue, I keep a selection of mattress toppers to adjust firmness. We always ask our guests to let us know if they are unhappy with anything so that we can do our best to address the matter straightaway. The damp you refer to is due to the unseasonably wet weather and it's effect on Cornish cob. It has been addressed. We were surprised to receive a lower score on customer service as we try to do as much as we can for our guests whilst remaining unobtrusive. Our goal is to give our guests the best holiday possible! :-) We would love to see you again!

Guest from Somersham, Huntingdon stayed for 14 nights.
Our stay at the Sunlight Cottage was excellent. It provided an ideal location for exploring Cornwall with easy access to the A30. The owners were very friendly and helpful but at the same time discrete. The cottage was well kept and well provided for and the gardens were lovelly. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of storage space for clothing etc. Our only negative comment would be that we felt the kitchen / living room was a little short of work surfaces and storage space for food etc. Not a problem if you eat out a lot or have small kids, but as a family of 4, including 2 teenage kids, we needed to store a larger quantity of food.

Fantastic stay, great location to explore Cornwall from, so peaceful. Clean and tidy, welcome pack is a nice touch. We could have done with a bigger bed though, there is certainly the space for it!

Great base camp for weekend activities in and around Truro, including Newquay, lands end, port Isaac, Falmouth, Camborne (Chinese) and most importantly Truro football club. A great time we all had coming down from Maidstone. Very good value for money, home from home and everything provided.

Guest from Ely stayed for 4 nights.
We are so happy we have found this getaway. We have family in Cornwall and this cottage is in the perfect place to visit all over this beautiful county. We hope that the cottage will be free next time we come down. As you can see above, cleanliness, comfort, location and value for money, all excellent. We also enjoyed the biscuits and wine that the owners left. We cannot recommend more highly this lovely place. Thank you very much and we hope to see you again soon.

Guest from Glasgow stayed for 7 nights.
John and Jill Tisdale were lovely hosts who could not have done more to make us feel welcome. The cottage is set in the heart of beautiful countryside and, being close to Truro, very centrally positioned enabling us to see as much of Cornwall as possible. It was a pretty little cottage and very comfortable.

Guest from Lympne stayed for 14 nights.
A nice two bedroom cottage central to the Truro area, well appointed and cosy. The owners, Jill and John were very helpfull and welcoming. We took advantage of nearby Newquey airport to visit the Isles of Scilly for a daytrip. We also went to Fowey for lunch on the riverside, the Minac theatre and saw a play and visited many beaches and villages. There is a good pub in the village that does good food, and an exalent village shop/post office/off licence. You are made welcome to explore the five acres of garden that the property sits in. Truro has a farmers market on Wednesday and Saturdays.

Guest from Saintfield stayed for 28 nights.
We stayed here for 2 months during the coldest winter months, and in spite of the below par temperatures, we had a cosy, comfortable stay in Sunlight. John and Jill are the loveliest hosts - attentive and friendly, whilst also respecting space. The cottage itself is very well equipped - even for our long stay which was not holiday time but a short let whilst settling into a new area. The cottage is finished very thoughtfully too making it feel very homely and welcoming. John and Jill couldn't have been more helpful - from the welcome on arrival, to popping down with post that had arrived for us, and replacing the TV when the other had given up the ghost! Only one tip - a little hand blender in the kitchen would be fantastic for us foodies! All in all, a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend whether for a short or longer-term let. Cornwalls Cottages were very efficient and professional.

Guest from Frome stayed for 4 nights.
The customer service was above and beyond expectations. We received very welcome recommendations on where to visit, including up-to-date information on events. When we said that we had forgotten towels, they were quickly provided. After being informed of an event that was on that day, we called in to find out more information and were given maps and information to help us on our day out and John went on the internet to provide us with all the details and directions we needed. We were very impressed with the garden and it has inspired us to make changes to our own garden. The location is good for road links to easily reach many areas of interest. Try and avoid travelling through Truro unless you need to, however, as we found it very busy.

We are a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 older children and 1 infant) and we had a wonderful week long stay in Sunlight Cottage. We have a lovely warm welcome from the owners and the accommodation had everything we wanted, including a high chair, travel cot and a baby bath and ducks for little one! A really comfortable, well equipped cottage in a great central location to explore Cornwall, we would love to return!

Guest from Crossways stayed for 7 nights.
a great base for exploring the Fal Estuary- the city of Truro - Eden Project and too many other attractions to list- the cottage is in a lovely setting- easy to find - friendly hosts - the cottage was well equipped and comfy - really enjoyed our stay ! shame that the Wi-Fi was intermittent- more off than on- that may be a boon for some- but it made it harder to go online for exploring websites for local attractions.

Sunlight Cottage proved to be an excellent choice for a 3 day visit to Cornwall. It is set in a quite rural location and has all the facilities and equipment you need. Truro and both the north and south coasts are within easy reach. The owners were very welcoming.

Guest from Stourport On Severn stayed for 14 nights.
Our stay at the cottage was excellent, we had a problem with the steps down to the cottage as my father is quite frail, when I spoke with the owners they arranged for a handrail to be installed, you really don't get such care given to customers very often. I would recommend the cottage unreservedly.
