3-Bedroom Holiday Home with Themed Rooms in Central Truro
Accommodation
Halcyon Days offers three themed bedrooms: Garden, Oriental, and Maps, each with its own distinct character. The living room provides comfortable seating and a selection of books and DVDs for guests. The property has a private entrance and a garden with outdoor furniture.
Amenities & Interior
The fully equipped kitchen includes copper cooking pots and traditional blue and white hand-painted dishes. Guests have access to board games, puzzles, and free WiFi throughout the house. The interior is filled with antique knickknacks and curios, creating a museum-like atmosphere.
Location
The house is a 10-15 minute walk from Truro city centre and 12 minutes from Truro Cathedral. It is less than 1 km from the National Trust and a 5-minute drive from a large supermarket. Newquay Cornwall Airport is 26 km away, and the property offers a private driveway for parking.
Guest Experience
Hosts Barbara and Peter live next door and are available to assist guests during their stay. The property is kept spotlessly clean, and guests have commented on the comfortable beds and sofas. Reviewers describe the house as a 'time capsule' and an 'interactive museum' with a warm and unique atmosphere.
Family-Friendly Considerations
The property has family rooms and board games for children. Parents should note the many breakable knickknacks and keep a close watch on little ones. The driveway is narrow and may require assistance with parking.
