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.

Clean and tidy

Couldn’t get over to work

Cosy place, would stay again

It was self catering, with excellent facilities in the kitchen.

All good

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.

Breakfast n/a Self catering Warm, clean and well furnished with kitchen essentials, washing up liquid etc provided.
