Tolverne also known as Smugglers Cottage is a small 500 year old cottage in south Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Roseland on the River Fal between Truro and StMawes, Cornwall just north of King Harry Ferry. In WW2 it was used as an embarkation point for D-Day landings in Normandy. The road and slipway was built for the war.
The cottage run as a tearoom by the Newman family was taken over by the Tregothnan Estate in March 2010 when Peter Newman and his wife retired. A new restaurant has since been added and it now offers lunches, cream teas and a full evening menu. Visitors can arrive by car or by boat, mooring alongside on the pontoons or on visitors moorings.
