Trenderway Farm

Tranquil location, excellent accommodation and good value

Nothing

Spacious room, lovely and clean, lovely cream tea on arrival, staff couldn’t be more helpful

Unfortunately there was no hot water, as the boiler had broken,so we had to cut our stay short by 2 days, but we weren’t charged for the 2 nights we did stay. We were surprised that to get a cooked breakfast we would need to go into Looe and use a voucher at a specific cafe and pay for parking. To be fair the continental breakfast at the B&B did have an amazing choice of food and we could eat there any time of the day if we wanted.

Quiet and spacious rooms

Only one thing. Bread was mouldy in the bread bin. But it was hot overnight

The location was pretty but to get to the property you had to drive down a one way track. I think anyone who is due to visit should be prewarned that if you come across a vehicle coming the other way, you need to reverse quite a distance with limited view. The room was quaint and very clean on arrival however it wasn't hoovered in the 5 days we stayed. The hosts were very nice but very absent during our stay. Again, however i was provided a telephone number to call if i needed anything.

The advertised flat screen TV was about 20 inches and it felt like the place needed a bit of a refresh. The shower had a bit of mould and one of the windows was broken, which we weren't pre-warned about. It felt like the two bedrooms in the farmhouse had been a little neglected in favour of the other rooms. The biggest disappointment was the lack of a proper breakfast, that is advertised. It seems Trenderway stopped cooking breakfast over a year ago and now just provide a cold, very limited, buffet type breakfast, with a voucher to attend a cafe in town (10 minutes drive). Very small portions of fruit, limited cereal and a coffee machine that wasn't working properly. I really hope the hosts take the feedback on board and provide this information more clearly on their website and on booking.com. Also be aware of an idle charge that is levied by the EV charger if you leave it plugged in overnight. This was not made clear by the hosts on arrival. That said, they very kindly arranged for me to be refunded, but this did take a message, email and a call to the property. The property boasts that it is a 5 start retreat, but it is more 3 star.
