About & Contact

Traditional, dog-friendly, 2 bed holiday cottage

Fal River Cottage is a small, dog-friendly, traditional cottage, which benefits from the most amazing river views. It is based in Malpas (near Truro) and is just three doors down from the very popular Heron Inn.

The village of Malpas is one of those little secrets that Cornwall has to offer. This former vibrant port lies on the confluence of the Trelissick and Truro rivers in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Malpas Estuary is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Its extensive mudflats are an important feeding ground for wildfowl and wading birds, whereas trees on the riverbanks provide shelter for nesting herons. There is an abundance of beautiful walks along the river to choose from, as well as boat tours that depart from Malpas to Trelissick and on to Falmouth. The cottage is only two miles from Truro, which also means that there are excellent road and rail connections across Cornwall.

The cottage itself dates to the 1800's and was tastefully renovated in 2019, offering traditional features alongside modern-living luxuries.

To the front, there is a small decked area which is ideal for alfresco breakfasts. This leads into the lounge, which is well equipped with a log burner, BT TV (with sports), books and games. To the rear of the cottage there is a new kitchen/dining area, which is well equipped for home cooking.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, which share a traditional ‘Jack’n’Jill’ bathroom. There is a spacious and light double bedroom allowing you to watch the river as you lie in bed. The second bedroom is a cozy single, which also serves as access to the rear garden.

There are steep stairs leading to the rear garden featuring two separate seating areas, which both benefit from the amazing river views. The upper level is great for kicking back and lying down on those hot summer days when a little shade is welcome. The lower, patio area is more open and offers comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of Cornish countryside.

Reviews for Fal River Cottage

Meet the owner

Philip & Lubi Dee

Nice to meet you! Our names our Lubi and Phil. We are the owners of Fal River Cottage in Malpas. We bought the cottage in 2019 after falling in love with amazing river views. We had been coming to Cornwall for several years and were amazed when we visited Malpas for the first time. How could something this amazing and quiet be just two miles from Truro? Since buying the cottage we have made a big investment to refurbish the cottage. We opened our doors to holiday makers in July 2019 and were almost immediately sold out for the first three months. More recently, the cottage has received a 4 Star, Gold award from VisitEngland (5 Star was not possible as there’s no freezer or washing machine). We always wanted to offer the perfect holiday experience and so the gold award is something that we cherish. We look forward to welcoming you at our little piece of Cornwall.
