Wonderful home away from home
We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home away from home. It is so lovingly and well equipped and spotlessly clean and bright. Beds are very comfortable. Parking is just infront of the house. As we had the best weather, we could use the patio any time of the day and enjoy the squirrels in the garden. Location is ideal to explore Cornwall. Truro is a twenty minutes footwalk away and worth visiting with a plenty of local shops and restaurants. Contact with Sam was easy and very friendly. Thank you very much for your wonderful welcompack. We couldn’t recommend Heron House more and hope to come back soon.

Truro townhouse
We really enjoyed our stay at Sam's house. It is quiet and peaceful! Everything we needed in the kitchen was there, and the whole place was clean. It was raining while we were here, but the patio would have been very nice to spend time on. It's about a 20 minute walk into town and there is a path along the road. I recommend this property!

Escape to the beach!
We stayed @ Heron House for a week this summer after spending 2 summers trapped in London due to the pandemic! We visited a different beach every day & they were so beautiful, just what the Dr ordered to blow away the cobwebs!

Lovely Home
Heron House is a beautiful home which suited the needs of 6 adults , it is very relaxing and backs onto lovely countryside. We spent a week there in August celebrating birthday and anniversary. Sam is very supportive and is available for any queries, she left a welcome card and gifts which was very much appreciated. I would recommend this house.

Excellent stay in a lovely home!
We are a family of five and we had a fantastic stay at Heron House. It was a home away from home for our week in Cornwall. We really couldn't have asked for more - spacious, stylish, clean and very comfortable (just like the photos!). Sam had left a bottle of wine, some delicious local apple juice and soaps to welcome us. Heron House proved to be a perfect base to explore the delights of Cornwall. The location was super central and allowed us to easily access St Ives, Perranporth, Newquay, Padstow, Falmouth, the Lizard Peninsula and Kynance Cove, and St Michael's Mount (Marazion). If you do make it to Marazion be sure to have cream tea at The Copper Spoon - probably the best scones I have had the pleasure of eating! Couldn't recommend Heron House more...Sam was a great host and very responsive to any questions we had. Hope to be back soon!

Beautiful Home from Home
We stayed in Heron House for a week in August with our two children. The house is lovely and well furnished and equipped in a very quiet neighbourhood. Truro is a great location for day trips around Cornwall. We were so busy we didn’t spend much time in the house, think we need 2 weeks next time!

Fantastic location, well equipped house, modern, clean & homely
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying in this lovely house. It was clean & tidy, really well equipped and very comfortable and homely. I loved the nautical theme and the stylish pictures, it was very tastefully decorated and has a relaxing feel to it. It was a great base location for walking into the town centre of Truro. The Heron Inn pub was also walking distance and serves wonderful food & so friendly and welcoming. It was also a great location for driving further afield for sightseeing so we were really pleased with our choice. Would recommend this house as a great place to stay. The owner is caring and attentive and made sure we were happy and settled and we even had a lovely little welcome pack to start our holiday. Thanks for making our visit to Cornwall so enjoyable.

Heron House - an excellent stay
Heron House was lovely. A great location, it had everything we wanted and we enjoyed our time in Cornwall. We are regular visitors but have never stayed in Truro so it was a pleasant surprise. We would be happy to return to this property any time of the year.

About the host

Hosted by Sam Barton

Host profile image
I've been living in Cornwall for many years now and enjoy the outdoors lifestyle we have here. I would like all my guests to enjoy Cornwall and all it has to offer and am happy to give advice on places to visit etc. This is our family house which we let during school holidays. It is very well equipped, you should have all you need in the kitchen and there are books//DVDs to borrow.

Why they chose this property

I love the riverside location as it is so peaceful and relaxed, yet Truro, with all the shops and restaurants, is within easy distance. This location can also reach most places in Cornwall within 30/40 minutes so it is a perfect base to explore all of the County.

What makes this property unique

I love the views at the back of the house of the countryside. Sometimes when you are at the top of the house you feel as though you are in the treetops!
