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.



Ground Floor: bathroom (reached via outside door by porch). First Floor: double bedroom. Second Floor: sitting room. Third Floor: kitchen/diner.

Visitor Notes:
Due to the long steep staircase in the tower we feel this hazard makes it unsuitable for children under 12. The large number of steps also make it unsuitable for people with impaired mobility. Night storage heating and convector heating included. Casserole and cake supper ready on arrival for an additional charge.

For any 2 night starting on a Friday, or 3 night starting on a Thursday, guests can benefit from a late departure time on the Sunday of 6pm, at no extra charge.
