This is a place surrounded by green, where the stars fill the sky. You can hear the owls call, the songbirds sing and the buzzards mewing as they coast the thermal currents down the valley. A peaceful retreat for two, perfect for a cosy, luxurious stay, winter or summer. Well situated to explore what Cornwall has to offer - and then come home to a wood burner, comfy sofa, reclining chair, a good kitchen and a big big bed. We are deep in countryside, but handy for Tremough, Falmouth, coastal walks, Helford River with its coves and creeks - and not too far away from the Lizard, the beaches of the north coast and the Georgian towns of Helston and Truro.

The heavy horses which once worked Tresahor Vean Farm were stabled in what is now Owl House. It is attached at the west end to a courtyard of converted mid-19th century barns, with stonework of unusually high quality for what were once agricultural buildings. The ceiling in the living room area is almost double height and the tall arched entrances with cleverly cut key post, are now glazed, one with a double opening. Owl has a hall, a large living room/kitchen (20' x 17') and an architect designed cedar extension with generous bedroom and a bathroom. A patio garden with table and seating leads from the bedroom's double doors. ( A good place for morning coffee or a meal or a glass of wine.) The house is well equipped, with good quality linen, kitchen appliances etc. There are prints, paintings and flowers - and some textiles from our son and daughter-in-law's printing studio, Particle Press and a Thousand Paper Cranes.. Some of the furniture is from the many independent antique and retro shops in Falmouth High Street. There is central heating and a wood burner with logs supplied. We offer a welcome pack of a loaf of bread, butter, eggs, milk, tea, coffee and a few treats, just in case you don't want to go shopping right away. If you give us notice, we may be able to organise one to one classes in the printing studio. For example, how to make a lampshade. Or how to screen print. Just ask.More
We had a wonderful stay at Owl House for our short break away! It is the perfect getaway if you want a relaxing time and be at one with nature. It is secluded and surrounded by nothing but trees and owls hooting in the distance....More
The Owl is excelleny accommodation
We bought a period season ticket for unlimited use of Park&Float, the many ferries and buses, plus the train service. Great fun and excellent value - quite the best way to view the magnificent scenery around Falmouth, Truro and St...More
Owl house is in rural Cornwall about 15 mins drive into Falmouth, so you’re not that far away from town. It’s a lovely comfortable place, quiet and tastefully appointed. Has everything you need for a relaxing getaway!
A lovely cottage in a peaceful setting, run by a lovely couple as well! Cottage was nicely furnished, with everything that we needed - and more. Made full use of the wood burning stove, as it was cold weather whilst we were there, but the...More
A lovely house with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Having a welcome package of a few essentials and luxuries was a great welcome and we were very grateful for them. The house was clean and the log fire provided extra warmth when it...More
We booked a mini honeymoon to Cornwall to relax and enjoy some of the wonderful Cornish scenery.
Owl can be tricky to find but the directions we were given took us straight there. Once inside, the accommodation is decorated to a high standard and we...More
We chose Owl House for a short break because it was in a quiet setting but only a few miles away from Falmouth and the sights of the Lizard. The property was self-catering, but there were so many added extras and finishing touches, including vases...More
A splendid, quiet location. The cottage is a good size for two, very well appointed, displayed nice touches, indicated great attention to detail, which was much appreciated, and made one feel at home. We wish we had booked for a longer away break.
Owl House is situated in the narrowest part of Cornwall, easy with access to both south and north coasts and to the Helford River. It is an area reknowned for its watersports, birdwatching, coastal and country walking. And for manor houses and castles and gardens. In the village there is a Spar shop - and Constantine Stores, which has a national reputation for its wine and whisky selection.The village farmer's market is on the second Saturday of each calendar month. There are gardens (Glendurgan,Trebah and Potager for example) and art galleries to visit and good cooking to sample locally, at the prize winning Trengilly Wartha pub or the Potager cafe. The Tolmen Community Centre has a programme of theatre, music, dance and film, sometimes with a cafe beforehand. There are also good restaur...
