Trehellas House Hotel & Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

For a 3 star country house it was low spec . The bedroom was unexpectedly across from main house and we got wet and cold walking across . The stones on the steps down to the bedroom were a bit dangerous. The room needed a better clean and we found bits and a black berry of some kind The en-suite Back of vanity units were yucky.. Cracks all round bathroom floor looked horrible. Shower curtain was not nice and hung over the floor. Toilet seat didn’t fit very well and was too far back . Small piece of soap and 2 sachets of shampoo were free. The white wall made bathroom feel cold Unfortunately No cold water , which we reported , but when it came back on at 3 am ish the tap was open and we couldn’t turn it off , it trickled all night until 6 when it was faster and when we pulled chain at 6:30 it gushed. So had to get help and couldn’t go back to sleep then. It was an awful night. At 7:17 we couldn’t make shower work , the waitress told us it was a new shower (probably 10 years ago) so not sure what the problem could be . We had to wait for chef to look and we had to ring at 7:30 as we needed to get ready. ‘The Friday breakfast waitress’ came at 7:50 ish to say there was no water . So obviously we had to wash . The slats under the bed were off and so it sunk down , we had to lift heavy mattress and couldn’t fix them in place . Though mattress was far too soft and hard to get out of it and It had thick cobwebs under bed . So going for breakfast we didn’t see cereal table as another guest didn’t. It’s the kind of thing a waitress should point out . We didn’t feel comfortable with the waitress as she didn’t check we were ok after a horrible start to the morning and we felt bad asking for more hot toast as we wanted it with our cooked breakfast and got it early . She could have as she did with others make small talk to make us feel better . When we said to guy on way out he made us feel like it was our fault we had opened up the tap too far and couldn’t turn it off . The cooked breakfast was nice and chef kind . Though The evening meal the chips not nice and so small . The broccoli could have been on side of lamb not in mash . As it lost its crunchyness. The tv needs a new coax lead as it was only use on standard few stations and no HD and lots of pixilation and a smart tv that didn’t work at all It needed a small chair to sit on in place of the stool

We are repeat visitors - and who wouldn't be with great locally sourced food, drink and gracious hospitality? We had a dinner, bed and breakfast stay.

Charming staff can't fault them owner can't do enough for you Charming room beautiful building. Food was excellent very good chef steak was amazing thank you for making us so Welcome

Excellent 2 night stay with great food, very friendly staff and we could also take our dog. We stayed in a room across from the hotel on the ground floor which was spacious with a super big bathroom. Hot shower. Comfortable bed.

Booked this hotel for the Royal Cornwall show as I was working on a stand for 3 days, I had a room at the front of the hotel which even with low ceilings & I am 6ft 5” was great, good shower, very comfortable bed. My wife joined me on the Friday evening, no extra charge, The food is first class & they can’t do enough for you.

Gourmet style menu at gourmet prices in a hotel that was perhaps punching above its weight. Food was good but not fantastic.

I called today and the call was answered in a mumbled and rushed manner, I didn't even catch what they said. I said, I am wondering if one of your bedrooms is available on the 18th August. The man said " What bedroom ?" again gruffly. I said the "Courtroom suite.". Rather than saying , "hold on madam while i check that for you", I was met with silence and ruffling, presumably while the diary was checked. He comes back on and says " no its sold then". So rather than saying something like "I am sorry it is taken that evening however we do have some other options I would be happy to inform you about" , instead the conversation was evidently over. So, I paused, again expecting some kind of alternative and was met with silence. So I said " ok, thank you, goodbye". As I couldn't believe how terrible that encounter had been, I decided to call back, to ask to speak to the manager in the hopes he could give, this clearly junior employee some constructive criticism. I called back, the same man answered, I asked to speak to the manager and he said, I am the manager/Owner. At this point I was almost dumbstruck. I explained I had just called, he said yes, and I went on to say I was shocked how rude and unhelpful he had been and that he did not bother to offer alternatives. His reply was " You asked for the Courtroom suite, It was taken, I took it that was the room you were after and wanted nothing else".....and then the complete unbelievable insult to his own livelihood he said " And I'm sorry but Im in the middle of DINNER". I was again dumbstuck, what can I say to that. I really wanted to stay here but felt like I just wasn't wanted. Enjoy your dinner Mr Owner :).. Stay here and be unappreciated if you wish!

Whilst I recognise there will be a variety of takes on this classic seafood dish, the fundamentals are all the same, Saffron, fish & shellfish from the sea, a good flavoured broth, crusty bread and an aoli/rouille. I personally like a julienne of carrot, fennel leek and celery through my broth too. I also like a toasted sourdough rubbed with raw garlic on the side. I was very excited to read the description of how they made their version, boiling shells and adding tomatoes and herbs and seafood meat. In reality the dish that was served to me was a very thick tinned tomato sauce with bits of fish and defrosted king prawns. 2 pieces of a par baked bread baton and a bit of butter. The starter was supposed to have been a ragout, but was simply shredded confit duck. My wife ordered battered fish with a portion of chips, both were dull, dark and grey and heavily tasting of old frying oil. We had cheese and ice cream for afters both of which were made off site which was a relief. The wine - there is no Camel Valley list that is advertised online, not even 1 bottle!!! I can’t remember the red we tried to order but they had none, and, the list of reds on offer is not what’s advertised online. I’m more than happy to write and share recipes with the chefs at Trehellas House or even to advise on online recipes as what the menu describes and what you get aren’t the same! I would post a picture but it’s of a half eaten dish and really does look like a tin of chopped tomatoes.

Good value for money if you’re after something that is within easy reach of Padstow, Bodmin, St Austell , etc etc Lovely customer service from the lady that greeted us and showed us to our room. Quite a basic room but has everything you need. For a one nights stay, which is what we did. Didn’t get to use the shower but the bathroom was clean and fresh towels were provided. I would have liked a bigger tv, as the one we had was tiny and hard to see from the position of the bed. We also had a one tog duvet, and even though it’s summer, it did get quite cold in the night and a thin duvet wasn’t cutting it ! The bed was very comfy other than this. Our bedside lamps didn’t work which wasn’t a bother for us but could have been annoying for others. We could also hear the conversations and tv of the people downstairs, but luckily they had a similar sleep pattern to us and went quiet at a similar time. Otherwise this could have been an issue. Very thin walls. Breakfast was lovely , great selection of fruit, seeds, cereals, yoghurts, milk etc. The orange juice was topped up quickly and nothing was too much bother for the waitress. My partner had the full English, which was enjoyed , the potatoes were especially delicious! I had an omelette with cheese and tomato, which was basic but enjoyable and very filling. Lovely grounds , a swimming pool which was closed but I imagine you can ask if you want to swim ? Great selection of walks and excursions, and the staff have great knowledge of the area. Everyone was friendly and helpful

Our Sunday lunch today was tasty and would not hesitate to return. Service was efficient and we were served quickly. However, when researching online to choose a Sunday Lunch venue, we read the online sample menu and prices...which have changed vastly, so be warned. The website states 2 courses for £15..not the case. Each roast dinner cost £16 on its own. The roast pork, was delicious, but online it said it was served with stuffing. It wasn't, and that was disappointing. There was no roast lamb ( what a shame) and there was the addition of turkey to the menu...but that's a poor, tasteless substitute to my mind. The choice of starters & deserts were mainly Italian inspired and unexpected considering they were sitting alongside traditional roast dinners. Would have much preferred a more traditional menu. All in all, our mains were tasty and we would have been prepared to spend more if the other courses had been less fussy and used more Cornish fare,local apples, strawberries, gin/ cider, clotted cream.

Decent choice, food was good to eat and nicely presented. Roomy dining area well separated from other diners

Arrived ahead of time as had to accomplish a quick change from travel to wedding guest. Had phoned previously and young lady said they would try and get our room cleaned first, which they must have done and could get changed and off to the wedding. Room was nice and clean and nice soft bed, which was nicer than the last hotel and soft pillows for once. Wedding reception/breakfast was being held here as well so when we got back we all congregated in the conservatory and was all very organised and laid out. Meal we had was excellent (dont normally like lamb unless burnt but this was scrummy) and desserts just enough to end with. Although they dont have a bar, as such, we didnt seem to run out of wine or beer and a good night was had by all of us. Management was always helpful throughout for our stay although we left our two dogs in the car when not in the room with them and was allowed to bring them into the conservatory when all agree we could (which was the only stipulation from the manager which was fine with us) so they enjoyed it as well. Breakfast was as per hotel full english for me and adequate for the morning after the night before. Very nice setting and place to stay, would recommend to friends. The happy couple had a massive bedroom from what we heard, so great wedding venue.

Me and my parter was staying at this hotel and around 3am our room started to leake very badly the next day when we asked for help the boss him self got very aggressive we asked for a little more time as we didn’t sleep but they would not let us as we went done to reception to discuss the matter they didn’t want to hear it they started shouting at us and accusing us of things eee did not do they made us stand out in the rain waiting for a taxi instead of letting us stand inside like a good welcoming hotel very disappointed 😢

We booked a 3 night Cornish Winter Break which includes bed, breakfast and 3 course evening meal plus half a bottle of wine per person. It is only available on their website. The hotel does not have a bar which means that there are no non-residents. Instead, guests can have a pre-dinner drink in one of the two sitting rooms and chat with other guests. This was something we particularly liked. The hotel is ideally located to explore the north coast including Padstow, Bodmin Moor, The Eden Project and National Trust. There is an outdoor swimming pool obviously only available in summer. All the staff were wonderful, Alistair the owner always available to chat and Mary's answer to any question was always 'yes'. The freshly cooked breakfast was excellent and everything on the evening menu is included in the deal although there is a £5 supplement for an 8oz fillet steak. The food was delicious. We would have given the score of 5 but the room was a little 'tired' with quite a small TV and poor signal but we didn't go to watch TV. Sadly, not being able to get a good signal on BBC radio was disappointing but the Wi-Fi was good so we could listen to the radio on our mini laptop. 'Tired' it may have been but everything worked and the large bed was extremely comfortable. Would we go back? Absolutely.

Meal was excellent, staff were really friendly and the bed was really comfortable. Would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bodmin.

Payed £140. 00 for a superior room. We were shown to a coach house shared with several other rooms. If you looking for luxury forget it, it works but very basic with aging taps and bath + shower. The TV in the room was tiny and we could not get any WI-Fi. The breakfast was also basic and you had to request toast and Jam of which there was a choice of one. It was a bit take it or leave it - we would recommend leave it.

This is the third time we've stayed at Trehellas on a winter Cornish Break. These breaks are excellent value for money - two nights accommodation, breakfast each morning and a splendid three course meal each evening, with half a bottle of wine per person - a real bargain at around £50/night per person! As always, the food and service have been fab and we've had a really enjoyable stay.

Having looked forward to visiting this restaurant we could not have been more disappointed. Our meals were cold and looked unappetising and were served on cold plates. We should have listened to a previous visitor to this restaurant who had had an awful meal but did not complain as they didn’t want to cause a fuss. This will go down as the worse meal we have ever had.

Really looking forward to this short break at this hotel with our best friends. It looks absolutely lovely on the website, DONT BE FOOLED ! We were staying here to have dinner with Rick Stein later. 31 degrees pool closed with outside areas dirty, some stupid excuse ! Room small and dirty, stagnant water in kettle. Somebody had used toilet, NOT FLUSHED ! Mould in bathroom. Breakfast AWFUL ! will not go into it, too complicated ! Needless to say NEVER AGAIN !

spontaneous visit as was in the area, we were the only people there at 12.30pm on a Saturday lunch time.. food was tasty cannot knock that at all. However upon paying we were charged £5.50 per pint of coca cola.. I questioned this and was told that is their price. Couldn't quite believe it and wouldn't ever go back.

Excellent food served by friendly staff in a restaurant full of character. The chef could compete against well known celebrity chefs.

We stayed here for one night in the comfortable Wadebridge room. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Food is of a great quality and freshly cooked. Would be happy to return. Unbeatable value for money.

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the Trehellas House Hotel last night for one night and received a very warm welcome. The two young ladies who were on evening duty were friendly and courteous and nothing was too much trouble. They asked whether we would like a table for dinner which we gladly accepted.

We spent three nights here between Christmas and new year. Our room was very comfortable with very adequate heating and a lovely shower. We were slightly surprised that the room wasn't serviced throughout our stay. The food was delicious, especially breakfast. The evening menu was very good but rather limited, after two nights we had exhausted our choices. The staff were all extremely pleasant and keen to please.

We have stayed at this family run hotel several times and it doesn’t disappoint. The comfort and standard of food are excellent. Wonderful value for money and located centrally for visiting places of interest.

Visited here today with 3 friends, one of whom is a vegan. We had booked in advance and the vegan menu offered was delicious. The other meals were just as delicious and the well thought through. A good choice of starters, mains and desserts to suit every taste. The meals are competitively priced for the standard of food offered. Staff were welcoming and friendly, the service was good without feeling rushed. The ambience of the restaurant made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely visit again and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Friendly greeting and lovely helpful young staff.

Dining Room offers an intimate atmosphere, well spaced tables and unstuffy staff to help with choices.

We ate lunch here after a family event and the food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I cannot comment on the rooms as we did not stay overnight, but the hosts were friendly and welcoming, and we would certainly consider staying there another time.

Visitas previas han sido muy agradables con productos locales recién hechas y una cálida bienvenida. Esta vez, sin embargo, nuestra familia era algo mimado noche cuando tres de los cuatro de nuestras comidas principales tenía que ser devuelto.

Beide avondmaaltijden waren van uitstekende kwaliteit. Niet onmiddellijk verwacht in Engeland zo goed te eten.

Esta es mi tercera visita a Trehellas y yo nos alojamos por 8 noches aquí en 7. El menú es bueno, con una gran variedad. Algunos excelentes platos de pescado. El menú no alterar durante la semana.

We booked this restaurant on the first day of our holiday as we were staying nearby. The staff were all lovely & the dining room was very pleasant. However, there seemed to be a problem in the kitchen as the service was very slow & my vegetables appeared very overcooked.. Everyone was waiting far too long & the food when it came was disappointing. Maybe we just came on the wrong evening but we didn't return for the remainder of our holiday. It's the sort of place that should be good but apart from the lovely staff it didn't match our expectations.

We were looking for a place to eat within the area, last night of holiday, but most in the area were not suitable. We arrived to enquire if it was possible to have a table for four and were greeted in reception, by a very pleasant young lady, who courteously and promptly found us a suitable table, we were served by some excellent, happy and engaging staff members. Meals were delicious and nothing seemed too much trouble for this establishment. Prices are reasonable as you are paying for a restaurant meal, not a pub lunch (2 for 1). Meal could be eaten in peace and again staff members were excellent, not just to use but all the diners. Well done. What a shame we live hundreds of miles away. Would without doubt recommend.

We had a meal here and stayed in the hotel. The meal was as good as the hotel and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting both a quality hotel and meals.

We booked the conservatory dining room for a birthday Sunday lunch. Everything was beautifully laid out the service was first class as was the quality of the food and wine. Alistair and Debra our hosts had organised everything we had asked for and their staff were very attentative. I t was the perfect venue and we would highly reccomend it to anybody looking for somewhere to hold an event

This hotel has to be one of my better finds. Came with 4 friends and used this hotel as a Base so that we could tour Cornwall. From the initial enquiry to the the final evening I can not fault the hotel for the standard of its room, the staff and it's food. We were offered an all inclusive rate of £75 for bed and breakfast and evening dinner. + half bottle of wine. Was i surprised with the evening meal! Normally with an all inclusive offer like this they offer a different menu. Not this hotel.. we were given any choice and all 3 courses. From the rack of lamb, venison, fillet steak the food quality and presentation was superb. The staff.. Sonja and the waitresses were absolutely brilliant. I will be back!!!!

What a great little hotel. Friendly helpful reception staff. Clean, well featured room. But above all, the food was fantastic. When we booked, we hadn't intended to eat in the hotel, but we decided to try the restaurant on the first night and immediately decided to eat there on the second night as well. A short menu, stocked with local produce, cooked to perfection and excellent value. The breakfasts were also first class and I would particularly recommend the home made gravlax.

We found exactly what we wanted here. Great food, everybody very friendly, the atmosphere good. We enjoyed our room, it was comfortable, warm and well fitted out, very spacious with good light. We look forward to staying again.

I stayed here for three nights as I wanted to get away for a short break. My room was ideal for what I wanted. The staff were very pleasant and eager to help. I only had one gripe which was that the cold tap was difficult to turn off. At £50per night, I thought it was quite reasonable and I would definitely stay again. My only regret was that I didn't try their restaurant! It has won many AA awards and everything is freshly cooked but I couldn't resist a trip to Camelford on my last evening (when I initially planned to eat at Trehellas) and ended up at Curry and Rice restaurant instead. Not too disappointed about this though!

Eat there regularly would like to go more often budget permittingFriendly staff rich and varied menu with lots of seasonal local produce.Comfortable lounge for aperitifs

We had a birthday celebration meal here. The staff were wonderful and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Free Parking.

We stayed at this hotel as part of a short biking break in Cornwall. Previously we had been slightly disappointed by standard of room accommodationImprovements have obviously been made and the room we stayed in, in the cottage, was much better.This time we ate at the restaurant and the food was excellent - full marks to the chef!The owners were away on holiday so the hotel was being managed by the receptionist(?). She did an excellent job. nothing was too much trouble even though they were short staffed due to illness. She made our visit!

Seeing the peeling paint on the hotel sign, my heart sank but not for long. We were shown our room in The Barn with huge and comfortable bed and large fluffy white towels. Reading the information on the hotel it was clear that the owner had a sense of humour and we were not disappointed. We had booked DBB which came with a three course meal with a bottle of very acceptable wine between us. There was a great choice on the menu and everything we tried was first class. The staff, all of whom seemed to be local and have a good knowledge of the area were very friendly and helpful. Just one small point stopped this being a 5* review and when mentioned to the owner, I was assured it would be sorted immediately. It is definitely a place to come back to as had several of the guests that we met during the course of our stay.

Lovely cosy restaurant with locally sourced produce. Very attentive service cannot fault. Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!!

We decided to try the Trio of Fish which was Hake , Ling & Haddock and it was delicious but i loved the Ling which i think is a local fish .Good selection of wine as well.

Saw this Hotel on way to Wadebridge, Cornwall and decided to stop for a night. It was one of the best decisions we have made for a long time. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, not just because it was their job, but because they actually enjoyed what they were doing. The room, we stayed in the 'Charlestown', was in the Lodge and was very comfortable and the on suite was enormous. We dined in the hotel restaurant and the food was out of this world. Beautifully cooked, well presented and hot, again the staff were brilliant. The breakfast was excellent with a good variety of choice. Would highly recommend this hotel to all our friends etc and will definitely be going back.

Das Haus ist ingesamt sehr einladend, urig, schön, das Personal sehr freundlich und alles im besten Sinne typisch Corwall halt. Wir haben dort jedoch nicht gewohnt sondern nur zu Abend gegessen. Vom Essen im Restaurant waren wir leider nicht so uneingeschränkt überzeugt. Während der Wein Spitzenklasse war, fiel uns das Essen eher als fad und lustlos auf, was man bei den gewürzten Preisen nicht unbedingt erwartet. Der Fisch war hervorragend frisch, das Beef dagegen 3 x zäh und langweilig zubereitet. Dass sogar die kleinen Möhrchen weder aromatisch dafür kräftig verkocht waren, hat uns zu dem Gedanken gebracht, den Koch lieber noch mal in die Ausbildung schicken zu wollen - oder die Preise zu senken. Es tut uns leid für die nicht ganz so glückliche Bewertung.

Lovely place. Great breakfast. Sonia on reception was extremely helpful and accommodating. Single Room was clean, tidy with separate bathroom. Nothing missing. Good free wifi

Fantastic fresh food, staff are very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Stayed overnight, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order, fantastic service throughout staff.

Obviously the hotel has a lot of history behind it dating back a long way so you should not expect a slick and modern building. However what has been created fits perfectly within the building quirky and quaint but most importantly welcoming! From the moment you enter the staff are friendly and helpful. The single room I stayed in was fine, bathroom a little cramped but a good shower. It was well presented and very clean and in keeping with the rest of the building. The bed was very comfortable!Breakfast was plentiful and freshly made, a great start for a long journey.The restaurant was excellent.Overall the stay was excellent and really good value supported by very good staff.

Sorely disappointed with the food served for our Christmas lunch......menu was changed from when the booking was made and misleading menu.....dirty cup and chipped crockery.

As expected another wonderful stay! This time we had the lovely Courtroom Suite at a special offer deal.Excellent king size bed, luxurious bed linen and towels.Warm, comfortable with every amenity, what more could you ask? As before all of the staff are welcoming and efficient and the wonderful breakfast served in the conservatory was excellent. The hotel is ideally situated for easy journeys to every part of Cornwall so whether you're staying on the way through or looking for a base to tour from I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. Sorry to leave tomorrow and looking forward to our next stay already!

This was our 2nd time at this hotel, and we were not disappointed. Rooms are nicely furnished, We went with friends, one of whom is slightly disabled and severely 'gluten free' in diet. We only had to mention this once upon arrival, and everything was catered for. The restaurant in the evening presents a fine setting for an unrushed meal, served by attentive, but not intrusive staff. Breakfasts were of a high quality, with freshly cooked fare, and we could eat as much as we liked. The owners, Alastair and Debra have created a welcoming establishment, and they have a good sense of humour. One of the most notable factors for us, though, was the quality of the staff they employ. We were greeted on arrival by Rachel who would not be out of place working in a top London hotel. Then there was Jade, Shannon and Imogen, all of whom were a great team. They could not do enough for us! We even had a chat with the Chefs. Of course, then there would have been the staff we did not meet, but who would have contributed to our stay, eg Housekeeping staff. A hotel is nothing more than a building, and it is those who run it that make a difference. We visit Cornwall every year to visit our old neighbours who moved there. For years we stayed at National Chain hotels in Bodmin, but if you are looking for that extra bit of service, then try Trehellas House. It is ideally situated for visiting Padstow, Port Issac and the North Cornwall coast. We were sad to leave, but will be there again next year.

The whole menu (that they had) was really good. The lack of certain ingredients for certain dishes was a disapointment but the quality of the food and the service soon conquered that.

After reading others reviews I can also confirm that the food is spot on. We had the steak and fish dishes which were well cooked and presented. Staff were all lovely and pleasant price was as expected well worth a visit! Keep up the good work!

Only a couple of small niggles! The wifi was poor and virtually non-existant! We stayed in the Courtroom which is huge, luxourious and comfy! But with such a huge bathroom the shower is tiny!As for the rest well its lovely! Excellent staff, well run and managed. The gardens are beautiful.The food was excellent! Dinner and breakfast. Will definitely want to stay there again!

Stayed for two nights, a Thursday and Friday. Our room was called Penncarrow, it had a double bed and also a single up a couple of steps which made it quite roomy and ideal for a family.Room was very clean and comfy. Shower was strong and always hot. Staff were great from word go. Ate in the restaurant the first evening, we had a starter each, main course, cheese and biscuits, a bottle of wine, 4 pints of lager and a liquor coffee, the bill was just under £100, not cheap but the quality was sufficient that we were happy to pay this.Breakfast was lovely and I ordered off the menu and this was no problem. Our room was at the front and we had our windows open at night, no problem with traffic noise, it was almost non existent.I read a review on here that was quite poor, saying the hotel was dark and smelt like an old peoples home, Thank goodness I realised this was one bad review out of so many good ones, of course it's going to be dark the walls are about 3ft thick which is due to its age! But everywhere is painted white and there are lovely paintings on the wall. There certainly was no smell either.Can highly recommend this hotel, its location was easy to find and you are ideally situated for both the north and south coasts.Will definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity.

We stayed a couple of nights here and took our dog. The owner was very helpful and friendly and it was good to be able to take the dog - there is fabulous walking straight from the hotel. The food was excellent in the evenings - all fresh and beautifully cooked and presented. Think it was a different chef for breakfast which was pretty average (Dont have the omelette it was like leather, but the other options were okay). The only down side was the room we had was close to the road and with no air con was stuffy or noisy with open windows. Otherwise the room was clean and well presented. Would definitely go back but would have a room away from the road. The half board for two nights is a really good deal.

We could not fault this 18th century grade II listed Courthouse hotel. The rooms were characterful, well appointed, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was first rate and the staff friendly and efficient. There was private car parking and gardens. We would have liked to stay longer, but were just passing through.

Our firsttime, our booking was taken by a very friendly, helpul receptionist , we arrived early, made to feel welcome by the owner, we were told all about the wonderful pool, gardens, resturants etc and then shown the room, Fowey, it was a small cottage room with en suite and large wardrobe, tea and coffee, fan, hairdryer, magazine on the local area, the room was triple glazed, near the road but this not bother us, the traffic goes in the evening and we had a very good night sleep, nice bed and mattress, bathroom was large and had shampoo etc there, good shower, not amazing but it did what a shower does and was fine, maybe needs a lttle diy around the base (picky) not much, the room was downstairs and the people above made no noise at all, really cant fault it, breakfast was in the main building and was served well, very professional, friendly, we had cerial, juice, coffee and the a huge choice of cooked food, all well presented and served, car park was huge, free wifi ( a must ) good TV and wifi reception as well, its in a grat spot, countryside, quite, very central , owbers were helpful and gave tips on places to see, we were quite sad to leave and will return, amazing place, we loved it all, cant wait to return, we didnt have dinner as we were out all day, but the food would great and may do this next time, nice to see a smaller family run hotel and have it run so well, I think next time we would choose an upstairs room at the back, but the Fowey was really good, comfy and home from home

Found this restaurant while on holiday and booked an evening meal.The menu was varied and included venison, rack of lamb, duck breast, and trio of fish.I had crab cakes then chicken with pappardelle and pepper sauce, my husband had scallops and fillet steak. Food is sourced from local suppliersAll were cooked to perfection with no need to add any seasoning and well presented.The staff were excellent and the atmosphere relaxing with flowers and candles on the tablesWe had a lovely evening which rounded off the holiday nicely.

This is the third time we have stayed at Trehellas House. Once again the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast well cooked with a wide selection and the room clean.For the first time we had a room in the old building which is separate from the main building. We actually preferred our room this time, the bathroom was huge and the bedroom very comfortable. My only negative comment is as with the other rooms, I feel the bathroom could be improved. The bathroom is huge and could be made into a real luxury room. That said, I would recommend this hotel as a place to stay.

In that slump in mood that comes after Christmas and New Year, this visit really lifted our spirits. The hotel and restaurant are in that band of independents who provide a genuine welcome without being over the top. In the restaurant, locally sourced food is the focus on a well balanced menu; it is prepared and presented well, and served in a restaurant that befits the age and style of the building yet has contemporary touches. Breakfast is served in the conservatory, catching the winter sunshine and with views of the gardens and surrounding hills. Again, the local sourcing of the food is a feature and could not be faulted.The room was compact and bijou, comfortable and warm. A little warning on the hotel website would be useful for those of us who are have to compete with low ceilings - although I think it is more a case that the ceilings are the right height and we are not.

I had a works conference here today. The facilities were great. It was very clean and quiet. The staff were attentive and the food provided was lovely. Highly recommend

This is the second time we have spent a night at Trehellas house. We drive to Wash away, have dinner and B+B then continue into deepest Cornwall refreshed and relaxed. The accomodation is OK, clean and comfortable. The dinner is superb, I particularly enjoyed a mushroom rissotto with smoked chicken as a first course. Gannochy Coke's homemade marmalade was good at breakfast time.

We stayed for 2 nights & it was wonderful! We arrived early on the friday & had a very warm welcome - the room was lovely - had everything we needed & was lovely & warm. The evening meal was fantastic - one of the best we have ever had (their chef is brilliant!). Breakfast was delicious, & the evening function we attended with 3 course dinner was fabulous. A really lovely place to eat, sleep, meet friends & relax!!

Lovely hotel, fabulous restraint. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here. Wish it had been longer. The food was top notch, including home cured gravlax with the scrambled eggs and scrum my homemade conserves with breakfast. The evening meal was excellent and the service attentive without being intrusive. The room (Pencarrow) was cosy and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for more.

Enjoyed my dinner - venison particularly good. Perfectly cooked and presented. Nice surroundings and comfortable lounge.

Sunday roast is very reliable and a good safe bet. Nice touches are the interesting homemade breads and lovely fudge with coffee

We stayed overnight to attend a funeral the next dayThe service was very good and friendly. We didn't have dinner as we only wanted a snack but breakfast was excellent again with good friendly serviceA disappointment was the room in the annex which was cold (only one radiator and three outside walls). The bathroom was ok but the shower was very week - not strong enough for a shower

We have enjoyed four dinners at Trehallas - clearly cooked to order, excellent quality and very pleasant service. We enjoyed the house wines and port which were very good.

Having visited Trehellas some years ago after Christmas shopping in Truro, we decided to try this at the end of what was a fabulous family weekend away in Cornwall celebrating dad's 80th birthday.They did not disappoint.They were able to accommodate 13 of us at short notice in their lovely courtyard conservatory, where we had a fabulous Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend. A perfect ending to a perfect weekend, and we will most certainly be back to take advantage of their lovely overnight accommodation. As others have said, a hidden gem.

This might never have a visit from a Michelin inspector and it would be their misfortune to miss out staying here. Friendly, warm and great food, what more do you need? We have return several times along with most of the guests we talk to and the staff and owners never let us down. In fact it seems to get better on each visit.Then there is the evening meal!!!!! So out of place and character but the food is sublime and so unexpected for a little place, off the beaten track and great value for money -- well worth a visit.

We went here as part of a family celebration.There were 17 of us. Nothing seemed too much trouble and the food in the restaurant was to die for.For the 2 nights we were here we had an amazing 3 course meal each night with wine and we were not rushed at all. The hotel was close to Port Isaac (20 minutes drive) which led to a lovely walk after a yummy full breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone-very hospitable and comfortable.

Menu containing local ingredients and specialties with options that should tempt any diner. Wine list had good range of wines at affordable prices. Service was attentive. Had dinner and breakfast here. Breakfast had a good range of options served in a nice sun room.

We are so pleased we stayed at Trehellas House during our driving tour of the south west. Really friendly welcome by a staff member, excellent food, comfortable room and bed. The hotel owners were so friendly and welcoming. Up until the stay at Trehellas House we had lost faith in British Hotels having had really disappointing experiences in London and another hotel near Bath - but - it was like a breath of fresh air. I would recommend this hotel as a great place to stay for a night or a few days.

Ttavelled here from Derby for a friends funeral and wow what an amazing place,from the start we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was any trouble.The meal in the evening was absolutely amazing,best steak ive ever eaten,and ive eaten many.lol....we'd definately stay here again,a little gem.!!

I love this place. Friendly personal service, lovely restaurant and fantastic, great value food. Ate here dozens of times with the family and never disappointed. Well done for good levels of consistency and good value.

From booking over the phone until checking out the staff were fantastic. I have limited mobility and they sorted out the room that was easiest for me. We chose the special offer which was the 3 course evening meal with the accommodation and so pleased we did.Anything off the menu except filet steak but you could have it with a £5 supplement and 1/2 a bottle of wine each. My husband had venison and he said he had never had such a lovely dinner in the UK. I had some wonderful scallops as a starter and the trio of fish was the best fish I had had in a restaurant. We had a lovely room 'Lostwithiel' which had a massive bathroom with a bath and separate shower and the bed was 6ft.Loved the whole 2 nights we stayed there breakfast was freshly cooked and taken in the conservatory overlooking the garden. Would defy recommend.Thanks so much Trehallas

Excellent family friendly restaurant. We all had a lovely time, staff were great and very helpful. Sunday lunch was enjoyed by all

Friendly, helpful staff. Basic but comfortable room, although on a busy road at the front of building. Wonderful food..especially breakfast, in the conservatory... Anything you could ask for and more. Would be nice if there was a bar..even a small one, cold draught beer, rather than local warm beer would have been nice for a thirsty husband. A very pleasant stay.

First visited this hotel's restaurant earlier this year, and have just been back again. I thought it was good the first time and its now....even better. Lounge area for a pre-dinner drink, smart restaurant, every attention to detail. candles on tables, fresh flowers, some lovely art on the walls, just so relaxing and the food, well its fab. We had a trip of fish and it was simply delicious. Good value for what is an upmarket restaurant. Staff are lovely and so helpful. Its on our list for dinner out now!!

I stayed at Trehellas House for one night on business. The hotel building is old and beautiful, and the grounds looked very lovely, though I had neither the time nor the weather to wander around! On arrival there was ample parking and as I approached the hotel with my luggage the gentleman in reception saw me coming and opened the door for me. Though small, my single room was perfectly adequate for my needs. I was situated in the main building, though I understand some rooms are in an annexe. The restaurant food and service in the hotel were definitely the best aspects of my stay. For dinner I had a scallop starter and a trio of fish as my main, and a couple of glasses of perfectly chilled white wine. The restaurant isn't particularly cheap, but not extortionate, and worth every penny. Service was excellent, and as a woman alone in a restaurant full of couples I felt looked after and comfortable. Staff were great and went out of their way to make sure I got something to eat in the morning, even though I had to leave before breakfast service actually started.If I'm working in the area again, I would have no hesitation in staying here again.
