Overview of Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable

Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable is a lovely choice for families and groups who want to share a Cornish holiday without all staying under one roof. The two detached properties stand side by side in the peaceful Glynn Valley near St Neot, sharing almost an acre of gardens that lead down to a private stretch of the River Loveny. The property is situated almost midway between Liskeard and Bodmin and you can find more large holiday cottages near Bodmin here. 

The Lodge is the larger of the two and brings plenty of traditional character to the stay, with Gothic windows, arched doorways, exposed beams and wood burners. The Stable has been converted into a comfortable second cottage with its own kitchen, lounge and bedrooms. Together they sleep 12, giving two families or different generations the freedom to enjoy their own space while remaining only a few steps apart.

The setting is a real highlight. Guests can spend quiet mornings beside the river, try fishing from the private bank or enjoy meals in the garden, with wooded valleys and Bodmin Moor close by for walking and cycling. Carnglaze Caverns is less than a mile away, while Cardinham Woods and Lanhydrock offer excellent days out for walkers and cyclists.

The central South East Cornwall location also makes it easy to explore farther afield. Looe, Polperro and Fowey are all within reach for harbour walks and coastal days, while the Eden Project and Cornwall's north coast can be added to a longer stay.

For groups who value character, countryside and the flexibility of two separate homes, Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable offers a relaxed base with plenty to enjoy both at the property and across Cornwall.

Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable at a Glance

Who is Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable Best For?

This is particularly well suited to two families sharing a holiday. One family can take the four-bedroom Lodge while the other uses the Stable, allowing everyone to meet in the garden or larger living spaces without giving up their own privacy.

It also works well for grandparents travelling with adult children and grandchildren, where having a separate cottage can make a longer stay more comfortable for everyone.

The riverside grounds and countryside location will appeal to guests who enjoy fishing, walking and quieter days outdoors, while the convenient road links mean beach days and major Cornwall attractions remain easy to plan.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable

The six bedrooms are divided between the two properties, with four in the Lodge and two in the Stable.

The Lodge sleeps eight in permanent beds, while the Stable sleeps four adults comfortably with additional sleeping space available by arrangement.

Group Accommodation Layout

The Lodge also has a ground-floor double bedroom with its own shower room, which may suit guests who prefer to avoid using the main staircase.

The Stable's principal bedroom includes an adjoining room with a double sofa bed that can provide extra sleeping space when requested.

How does the layout work for a group of 12?

The strongest way to use the accommodation is to treat the two cottages as separate family bases.

The Lodge can accommodate up to eight guests across three doubles and one twin. The Stable works particularly well for four guests using the king-size and twin rooms, with the additional sofa bed offering further flexibility where required.

This setup gives larger groups far more privacy than a single six-bedroom house, especially when grandparents, adult children or two separate families are travelling together.

Bathroom Layout

The Lodge has an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.

The Stable has a family bathroom with bath, a separate shower room and an additional cloakroom.

This gives both properties their own bathroom facilities, so neither household needs to move between cottages in the morning or evening.

Facilities & Information at Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable

The main advantage of the two-property layout is that each cottage is fully equipped for day-to-day living.

The Lodge has a traditional sitting room with a wood burner and a separate dining room with another wood burner and table seating eight. Its kitchen is supported by a utility room containing a dishwasher, washer/dryer and additional fridge freezer.

The Stable has a more contemporary kitchen with induction hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, larder fridge and separate freezer. Its own sitting room and dining area allow guests staying there to be completely self-contained.

Outside, both properties share the large garden and riverbank. Garden furniture, a barbecue and summer house provide plenty of space for everyone to gather during warmer weather.

Location & Things to Do Near Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable

Treverbyn Vean Lodge & Stable sits in the Glynn Valley near St Neot, on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor. It is a particularly good base for groups who want countryside and walking close at hand but still plan to explore both inland Cornwall and the south coast.

St Neot is a small village surrounded by wooded valleys and moorland scenery. Its church is known for its medieval stained glass, while the London Inn provides a traditional village pub around two miles from the property.

Carnglaze Caverns is less than a mile away and makes an excellent all-weather family day out. The former slate quarry includes underground caverns, a subterranean lake and woodland walks, giving children and adults something quite different from the usual coastal attractions.

Walkers and cyclists have plenty of choice nearby. Cardinham Woods has waymarked walking trails and off-road cycle routes through wooded valleys, while Lanhydrock combines a grand Victorian house and gardens with a large estate of woodland paths and family-friendly cycling trails.

Bodmin Moor is also close at hand for longer walks and open countryside. Golitha Falls offers another attractive option, with woodland paths following the River Fowey through a series of cascades.

For days by the sea, Looe is around ten miles away with a sandy beach, harbour, cafés and boat trips. Polperro is farther along the coast, while Fowey combines a picturesque harbour with restaurants, galleries and walks around the estuary.

The location also makes the Eden Project an easy day trip, giving groups plenty of variety between river days at the cottage, walking on the moor, forest cycling and time beside the coast.
