Tresillian House

Tresillion house is a beautiful and slightly quirky guest house offering a very comfortable stay. Far removed from a bland hotel. The rooms were lovely, bright and spacious. Our bed was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect. The bed linen was beautiful. Inside the room was everything we could have possibly wanted and more. A large selection of teas, coffee, biscuits including gluten free and a lovely bowl of fruit. Wine and water glasses. A good selection of reading materials and good quality toiletries in the shower room. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of local produce. Umbrellas were available to borrow and we were even offered pashminas as we were heading to a chilly venue. Allison, our host was very accommodating and clearly cares about the comfort and needs of her guests.

There wasn’t anything that we disliked.

Everything

N/A

Tresillion House is both a guest house and your host's home. When we arrived, our host's daughter and grandson were just leaving the property after having stayed or a few nights, and so you instantly got the feeling of it being a lovely, welcoming and well used family home. There was a grand piano in the main sitting room, which was the result of our host having previously been a piano teacher for many years. She is also the current Chair of the National Garden Scheme in Leicestershire, which encourages people to open their gardens for charity during the summer. As a result, the garden at Tresillion House was wonderful with lots of varied areas to explore. Inside the house the furniture was a little bit dated, but that was in keeping with the overall experience and everywhere was spotlessly clean.

We did like this, but not everyone would, as breakfast was served to us at a large table that we had to share with other guests who we'd not met before. It actually led to some interesting conversations, but if you're not great on communal breakfasts it could be quite a challenging start to the day. Whilst we enjoyed our cooked breakfast, a couple from Belgium were also staying who had ordered a continental breakfast. When it arrived it had a very generous selection of cheeses and cold meats and looked really appetising. Another time, we would probably opt for that.
