The kitchen needed a good scrub as there were spider webs around the stove . The guest information book needs updating as we couldn’t find the wifi code. The fireplace was out of order.

Elaine's cottage is in a perfectly quiet location for exploring Truro and its surroundings. We hiked to St. Clement and back on a forest path, and also walked to Truro along the water. Elaine is highly responsive to questions and welcomes us with muffins and milk in the fridge. The beds are super-comfortable!

Had a nice week stay at "Riversmeet" in the small community of Malpas just 2 miles away from the city of Truro. Elaine responded quickly to my questions and the instructions she provided for getting to and into the the rental were clear and understandable.The photos of the place are accurate, and we found almost everthing in order - including very comfortable beds. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking equipment, and the place was clean and tidy. The view from the front of the property out onto the estuary is amazing, especially if you climb up the back garden terraces to the top where there is a lovely sitting space.I was disappointed that the listed was not completely accurate, as the place did not have a clothes dryer or a functioning BBQ. I contacted Elaine about that, and she confirmed there was no dryer, and she had forgotten that the BBQ had rusted out. She did offer to try and bring some sort of BBQ equipment over, but we had already bought our supplies for the week eliminated BBQ grilling options from our shopping list. It is also important to know that while parking is free on the street, it is very limited on a narrow road that dead ends about half mile further, and there is a lot of completion for parking due to the nearby popular Heron Inn (has great food!) and marina. The worry about finding parking did cause us to plan to be back to the property by early afternoon so we could secure a space. So all in all, had a nice stay at Riversmeet.

The host was gracious and the location was nice. The Heron Inn a two-minute walk away was awesome. Day trips from there to Cornwall were great.
This was the sixth VRBO in the UK we stayed at in the last few weeks. In comparison, if cleanliness is important, then this would not be a good choice. We felt compelled to clean as soon as we arrived and even then a deep clean would be required. We found that the pictures on the website were misleading in terms of cleanliness. If you are looking for a place that welcomes pets, then this might be just right for you. Parking is included but can be challenging as there is only limited street parking and no assigned spot.
We let the host know of our concerns with the level of cleaning and she kindly refunded our cleaning fee.
