You arrive at Tregrehan to be welcomed by a lit fire on cold days and a bottle of milk ready for your tea in the fridge.

We can arrange organic produce at cost to be in your cottage on your arrival, toys, games and babysitting for your children, healing treatments for yourselves by qualified people. You are greeted in antipodean manor, by a smile. We want you to enjoy yourselves.

You may be surfing within half an hour, on the beach within 10 minutes, in an Eden dome within 10 minutes walk, in Sam's restaurant in Fowey within 20 minutes, in Rick Steins in Padstow within 40 minutes, walking on the moor, on the coast within 10 minutes or playing tennis at Tregrehan. The fabulous north coast beaches including Fistral, Watergate and Polzeath are 30-40 minutes drive. Secluded and wooded Luxulyan valley is an ideal escape for you and your pets. You can be relaxed, within no time at all!


At the end of the lime tree alley the road turns into the woods before directing you into a large courtyard. Guarding the entrance to this courtyard sits the Gamekeeper's. The Gamekeeper's is one of five honest and comfortable accommodations within the garden. Mary Long, daughter of the Gamekeeper, married G.G 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.

Cut from pink granite 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 and over the three-bayed carriage house, the remnants of the grain mill flank the Coach House and the Spry's. 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
