This extraordinary tower is Trelissicks icon, and its about as distinctive a holiday cottage as you could wish for. Four stories high, and yet with only one room on each floor, the Water Tower has fifty internal steps as the narrow spiral staircase winds up past each circular room. It was built in about 1865 as a reservoir for Trelissick House, with the height of the tower ensuring a good head of water for fighting fires. How typically Victorian for such a utilitarian building to be designed with such style and embellishments that it resembles the legendary tower of Rapunzel! The Water Tower shares a private garden with Engine House, away from the bustle of a busy and popular estate.
