No Guest access The cottage is my home, I live in France half the year but during your stay my family will be around should you require anything. I ask guests to respect my home, its energy and its contents. I have many beautiful homewares and belongings which I believe make the house so special and will be in the cottage for your stay. Please feel free to read through books, use the fully equipped kitchen for your feasts and take care in loving the cottage and its bounties. Trevarrian is a peaceful and local hamlet, we have a small community which holds respect for each other, and we trust our guests also will do the same. Other things to note There will be personal items in the property during your stay, as it is a part-time home for myself and my dog. I trust guests will respect these personalised elements and the rustic nature of the cottage and would be more than happy to answer any further questions.
