Everything you'll need - perfect!

My three brothers and I had a wonderful week at Truck House. It was perfect for us. Mark and Fiona have equipped the cottage with pretty much everything you'd need and my expectations were exceeded over and over. The garden is lovely and we hung out a lot in the conservatory and kitchen. I absolutely recommend this place if you're wanting a quiet place to stay while exploring the area.

Great house, great facilities and ideally located in Cornwall for both north and south

Being a regular visitor to Cornwall, this was a move out of the comfort zone location wise. However on arrival the character of the house instantly kicked in and got better when inside. Facilities were great and all eight people and Martha the dog had fun. Would I go back? A resounding yes. I would even consider the small adjoining property if for only me and my wife.

Perfect for family get together

We rented Truck House for a family holiday/celebration with our adult children and their partners. The house is perfect for adults with each room having its own ensuite/bathroom and is in a great location with every home comfort you can think of. Communication from the owners is excellent and I hope we are able to stay here again one day.

Lovely accommodation in a great setting

The property was presented to a very high standard with everything that you might need during your stay. It was spacious and comfortable and a home from home. It was also quiet and tranquil with no intrusive noise from neighbours etc. We only had one query when we first arrived which was promptly and efficiently dealt with. We also liked the central location in Probus - which made pretty much everywhere easily accessible, hence we visited Newquay, Truro, Falmouth, Bodmin etc during our holiday. Attractions like the Lost Gardens of Heligan were not far away. I would recommend this holiday property

Very nice house, extremely well furnished and decorated.

Owners Mark and Fiona very welcoming. We were a party of 6 adults (3 couples) and very much appreciated the space - nice lounge and dining room (not that we used the latter, spent too much time enjoying the local restaurants!), and appreciated the superb en-suite bathrooms to the 3 main bedrooms. Situated in a nice quiet area, although this does mean you definitely need a car! Hint - make sure you are not trying to get through Truro at peak times, the traffic is a nightmare! But we could not have been happier with Truck House, unreservedly reccomended!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Jones

Host profile image
Cornish born and bred, both Fi and I have a passion for the beautiful County of Cornwall and love nothing better than sharing our knowledge of go-to destinations and secret spots with our guests.

​Truck House has been our family home for over 24 years, and when our two daughters flew the nest, we couldn’t bring ourselves to part with it - so, we decided to share our lovely home with others. Over the past 5 years, we have had the pleasure of hosting guests from all corners of the world. So enjoyable has it been, we have now expanded the business with the addition of the Coach House Studio, Kara Cottage and Winslow Cottage.

When time allows and when not hosting guests, we love nothing more than jumping in our campervan with our two springer spaniels, Belle and Bryher, in search of perfect waves and wildlife. Cornwall has so much to offer that we rarely stray from her shores but, on occasion, we do and in recent years have visited Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Costa Rica. We look for something special from the places we stay in and know our visitors will too.

We want our guests to have a wonderful experience, to relax, unwind and feel at home. We are always striving to improve and welcome your feedback to help us grow. So, live life to the full and enjoy Luxury Cornish Escapes!

We look forward to welcoming you soon
​
Best wishes,
Mark and Fi.
