Location was good nice and quiet
Bed was too small could do with updated, also the cleaning wasn’t great throughout. Had to remake the bed. Towels were provided but smell of cigarette smoke which was strange. We had to go out and buy our own.

location, facilities
The floor was not hoovered on my last stay so had to hoover myself on arrival. This was unusual as generally always clean and tidy. Otherwise everything else was great :-)

Really nicely set up hideaway, walls around gave us lots of privacy. The outside area was really cute with fairy lights and seating to enjoy. Also great that we were supplied with basics like tea, coffee and sugar!
Could do with some coat pegs to hang up our wet coats but wasn’t a deal breaker at all.

Really quiet, stylish, clean space. The outside seating area is really attractive and cute. The bed is so comfortable!
The only thing I could fault is the lack of tissues or kitchen paper.

Great location for my needs, as described a really good for a couples break. Covered all the basics and was a great base for our short break.
No microwave, but an oven to cook from. Oven gloves and a wooden spoon would have helped.

The photos accurately show the property, as does the name "The Little Hideaway". Location and entry details were easy to follow. We were pleasantly surprised to find the property is entirely enclosed by a full size fence, and entry was into the private patio garden. The privacy meant we were able to sleep in the property with the glass door wide open at night, essential as it was very hot weather. The property was clean and comfortable, and was equipped with everything we needed, such as in the kitchen.
There was no information in the property about how to recycle waste so we had to guess. Property could also benefit from an information folder with local sights / where is good to eat / drink / visit etc

Unfortunately I could not stay in the property as it was not suitable fully for my wheelchair.
I could walk freely but on my arrival day I was very tired and felt unsafe so I moved back into Truro for a suitable hotel accommodation.
Too small and a narrow kitchen,
Outside path was gravel and tiles so hard work in a wheelchair

Self contained unit with its private yard. Stove, toaster, kettle, refrigerator, well appointed. Close to Lido supermarket, and Truro township.
Poor curtains and skylight covers, difficult to sleep when the sun is up at 4 am.

The location was excellent for our trip visiting family in Truro.
The kitchen wasn’t very clean and the boiler very noisy.

Comfortable and private. Spotlessly clean and well furnished. It had everything I needed. Easy no fuss access via a key safe. Great little place.
I really struggled to find anything wrong. The only thing was that the bath towel was a bit too small - I prefer a big bath sheet.

The room is a good size. You can control the heating. Great kitchen facilities if you want to self-cater. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Attractive seating area outside which would be nice in warm weather.
Except for an email, had no contact with the owner.
It's a bit far from town so you need a car. It's a housing estate so not the best of surroundings but if you just need somewhere to sleep then that doesn't matter. It was very quiet except for the outside gate banging in the wind. Secured it more with the bottom bolt so it didn't bother me as much the second night. Bit mean with the toiletries, only hand soap in the shower room. Shower small but I have squeezed into smaller.

There was a designated parking space literally yards from the accommodation. The WiFi was excellent. There was ample hot water and the shower was powerful.
The Little Hideaway is NOT in the city centre but in a new housing estate on the outskirts of Truro. The accommodation is a wood-clad construction in the owner's back garden. It is self-contained and only accessible via the back gate, which is lockable. The city centre is within walking distance, but it is downhill, and climbing back to the accommodation is only possible if you're fit. No restaurants are nearby, and the Sainsbury and Tesco stores are a drive away.
As stated in another review, the property is unsuitable for disabled people; from the gate to the door, there are paving slabs set apart in gravel, and there is a step to go inside.
Before booking, we read many reviews that rated The Little Hideaway highly; in particular, they said the facilities were good; my husband and I disagree strongly. First, the accommodation is minimal, no more than a bedsit, there was no room for a sofa or armchairs which we have had in all the similar properties we have rented. When I raised this with the owner, he said we could use the chairs on the patio! Although they had cushions, they weren't very comfortable. By not going out every evening, we ate at the property and had to use the kitchen, which was not easy. Essential kitchen items were missing. There was no microwave; every other property we have rented has had one. There is very little space for washing-up to drain, and to make matters worse, a teatowel was not provided.
Furthermore, there was no oven glove to remove hot dishes from the oven. In the bathroom, there was no bathmat. The shower cubicle is relatively small; we're thin so there wasn't a problem but anyone overweight might have difficulties. In the shower, there was a ceramic soap dispenser lodged on top of the water and temperature control. We felt this was dangerous; if it had fallen it could have caused injury or worse still smashed into pieces causing cuts.

It was self catering/We were pleased there was a fridge.
The bolt at the bottom of the gate didn't work and a washing line would have been useful.

This was an ideal location for us to use as a base to explore the Cornwall area. It was also just a 15 minute walk into the city centre and close to shopping if needed. The size was perfect for a couple and very clean, comfortable, private and quiet. The owner was available to give assistance if needed.
Some items that might make the whole experience better, especially for longer stays, include larger bowls for food preparation, oven mitts, and perhaps a broom for tidying up during your stay.

Very pleasant new(ish?) built self contained chalet-type - very good quality construction. Lovely bathroom with WC, sink and shower. Well equipped and sufficient pots, pans, utensils, TV etc. BUT boiler starting/firing up noisy and intrusive. Boiler should be in a purpose built external compartment. Better layout would be to have midline wall with door to kitchen & bathroom. Overall very pleasant but (for winter season) pricey. Should be - for two people - £60 (low/ winter season), shoulder £80 (Easter/Bank Hols etc) £100 (high season) - but remember NO BREAKFAST as is self catering. Stay again ? No - because it's too pricy and we prefer conventional B&B with full English breakfast or 3* hotel. But potentially with a little tweaking and lower pricing could be 9 or 10/10. Good tho' !!
Noisy boiler !
