Report
Spring Cottage Truro is a listed 17th Century cottage with three double guest rooms, all en suite with showers, and WiFi, just outside the village of Probus, between St Austell and Truro. The property is located down a tiny lane, off the B3275 road from Indian Queens to the A390. It's a convenient stop-over for departures or arrivals from Newquay airport, but also close to the gardens at the Eden Project, Heligan and Trewithen. The area around the cottage has, appropriately, been imaginatively planted by the owners.
