About this property
Romantic Retreat
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 kick back 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'.
The open plan oak floored lounge area is the perfect place to relax after the adventures of your day, with entertainment to ensure your holiday continues. There are two large leather sofa's for stretching out with Freeview SMART HD TV with Wi-Fi access and a neatly concealed Washer/Dryer.
The newly refurbished, well-equipped country kitchen includes a coffee maker, microwave, electric cooker and hob, fridge providing occupants with the perfect basis to self-cater.
The bedroom is tastefully decorated. The double bed is furnished with luxury quilt, pillows and bed linen. There is a dressing table mirror, hair dryer and wardrobe. Bath robes provided.
The bright modern shower room offers attractive facilities (bath sheets provided) electric shower, towel rail/radiator and toilet.
Secluded Garden with choice of outside dining patios, ample parking, central heating.
Easy access to many varied public footpaths for some fine walking or cycling from the doorstep.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Shelley Thorpe
Your hosts, Shelley and Peter have not looked back since moving to Treverva from the nearby Harbour town of Falmouth twenty two years ago. We have spent many years between us holidaying and living in Cornwall, working in Engineering, the Health Service, Education and Marine Industry. Previously from Leicester and Liverpool, a desire for a slower pace of life and chance to indulge in his hobbies of water sports led Peter to Cornwall, much as Shelley's parents some 42 years ago. We also enjoy travelling and have extensively toured the UK staying in numerous Guest Houses and B&B's in search of our ancestors.
Why they chose this property
We are still surprised to be finding new delightful areas in this part of Cornwall (beaches, creek-sides, villages and gardens), which we would be happy to share with you.
The main barn was used as a headquarters by the local land army in the 2nd world war.
Loafers Glory is named after the boat which Shelley's parents bought when realising their dream all those years ago.

What makes this property unique
We have been lovingly modernising the property over the last 20 years and think we have managed to build a high quality holiday experience which we ourselves would be delighted to receive.
Last year we built a double oak carport for guests to use. This year we have installed a small convenient dishwasher and a new conservatory roof, allowing guests to be more comfortable throughout the year. We are planning to install electric car charging point in the not too distant future too.
