At the end of the lime tree alley the road passes through the woods and directs you into a large courtyard. Guarding the entrance to this courtyard sits the Gamekeeper's Cottage. The Gamekeeper's is one of five honest and very comfortable accommodations within the garden. Mary Long, daughter of the Gamekeeper, married G.C Carlyon in 1856 and emigrated to New Zealand. Their son Arthur Spry Gwavas Carlyon born in New Zealand, one of five children, inherited the estate from his brother Jovey. Their offspring continue as caretakers of the Tregrehan Estate today.

Cut from pink stone mined locally in the mid 19th century these cottages gather on the periphery of the cobbles. The buildings are grade 2 listed and we use traditional wood and stone wall techniques to retain Tregrehans architectural heritage.

Each cottage has been thoughtfully designed with a private outlook and enclosed garden. To the north and adjacent to the Gamekeeper's Cottage and over the three-bayed carriage house, the remnants of the grain mill flank the Coach House and the Spry's Cottages. The Spry's conservatory was built as a very ornate piggery in the 1850's. The courtyard of the Coach House is surrounded by archways on 3 sides deigned to create an attractive cloister-like effect, fashionable in the Reptonian style. These were cowhouses.

On the west side of the courtyard, the Mews and the Old Stables were converted from the stables. This fine gabled building was largely built in 1836 by William Carlyon. The Old Stables spans the first floor of the building and is reached by a western entrance and garden. The Mews, like the Gamekeeper's, is entered from within the courtyard and retains its original 22-light sash windows and most of the stalling timbers internally.

These accommodations are spacious and private to suit the needs of both families and individuals. We want you to have a relaxing holiday and the cottages are fully equiped to enable you to do this

Short breaks are available in all cottages from November to Easter. Short breaks are available in the Mews all year round (minimum of 3 nights). Short breaks are available in the Sprys for a minimum of 3 nights at £180 Nov-Easter excluding public holidays.

To help reduce our carbon footprint we have replaced and double lined curtains throughout the cottages. All ceilings are fully insulated. In the Mews, the bathroom ceiling has been lowered to reduce it's heating requirements. Water heaters will be upgraded over the next few years (Coach House completed 2006; Old Stables completed Spring 2009). Some windows will be double paned.
