We spent a wonderful week in a beautiful and very clean cottage at Trengove Farm. Nice welcome gifts and flowers on the table underlined the homely atmosphere. The kitchen was very well equipped. Our dog loved the garden and large grassland.

“

We needed to change our booking at very short notice and Trengove Farm were very helpful and accommodating. Mowhay cottage was cosy and warm for a December break and even the little conservatory had underfloor heating. All the rooms were well furnished and spotlessly clean. The cottages are in a lovely rural setting and we will definitely stay here again.

“

We had a great time last year in the Roundhouse so this year we decided to try out the Trengove. It was absolutely huge for the two of us. The cottage was very well furnished and spotlessly clean and we particularly loved the stained glass windows. With the typical Cornish weather, we managed to enjoy the private sunny patio and also made use of the wood burner every night.

“

The location was perfect; isolated without being too isolated and close to the beach, shops and eateries. It’s also quite central to accessing every part of Cornwall. The welcome and support from the owners was exemplary. The accommodation was smart, comfortable and spacious. We witnessed upgrades over the years including a wonderful new lounge. I cannot fault this place at all and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Cornwall.

“

We had a super stay at The Gew for a week in mid June. The cottage and location are perfect for us - this was our second time here. One of our group had limited mobility but with a few tweaks here and there we had no issues. The owners are super friendly and helpful and Gully the spaniel is adorable. It’s a great location to explore the countryside, beaches and towns and to do as much or as little as you want.

“

Beautiful clean comfortable accommodation. Everything we required to cook was supplied. Very efficient heating and plenty of very hot water. Location was good for going out and about. Plenty of walks locally. Recommend Trebah Gardens and the National Trust gardens right next door. Both stunning and great maze in the NT garden. St Agnes and Perranporth lovely days out.

“

We had a really lovely 2 week stay in Mowhay Cottage. It was very comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. Trengove Farm is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful countryside and was a great base for us to revisit a lot of our Cornish favourites. Thanks for the prosecco and fresh flowers, we hope to return again soon.

“

Stayed over Christmas. What a wonderful cottage - cosy, charming and perfectly equipped. The owners were there to welcome us and had left (delicious) homemade mince pies and a bottle of bubbles for our arrival. Would 100% recommend and will stay again.

“

We had a wonderful stay at Trengove, it was absolutely perfect apart from not being long enough! Immaculately clean, well equipped, great location, the outside areas were very well kept, a warm welcome from the owner and overall very accommodating. We had two properties so worked well for a large family gathering, especially the hot tub!

“

Such an amazing place with everything you could possibly want for a perfect stay, very clean and extremely well kept inside and the surrounding gardens. Perfect place to have a restful holiday. Very welcoming host and an especially friendly dog called Gully who visited every day. Would definitely recommend.

“

Our family and friends booked out three of the cottages for a week at Trengove Farm at the end of April. The cottages were all so homely and welcoming. The owners were so friendly and accommodating to us all and let us go about our week freely. The surrounding farm with the large open field was perfect for our dog.

“

My partner and I stayed at The Roundhouse and had an amazing week in Cornwall. The farm is lovely; so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage was very well kept, well equipped and homely. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The location seemed fairly central and close enough to the A30 meaning we could easily drive to the various places we visited around Cornwall with the longest journeys only being around an hour.

“

We had a wonderful relaxing stay in The Roundhouse. Lovely peaceful location but conveniently situated for exploring much of Cornwall. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and furnished and equipped to a high standard. Very friendly helpful hosts who are on site and very quickly sort out any issues that may arise. We would love to return and would definitely recommend.

“

My husband and I stayed at Trengrove cottage for a week. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was great, walking distance from Portreath. We used the cottage as a base to recce stretches of the coastal path. We will definitely be back.

“

Thankyou for a lovely stay in Mowhay. A lovely comfortable cottage, in a perfect spot for visiting all the gorgeous areas around Portreath. Plenty of space for our spaniel to run around. We popped to Marazion most evenings to enjoy the views and eat at the Godolphin Hotel. Would definitely recommend Trengove and hope to return.

Trengrove Farm was the perfect location to explore the beautiful areas in Cornwall and we didn’t have to go far to enjoy both the beach and country walks. We stayed in The Roundhouse which was the perfect size for 2 and had everything we needed. There was also a lovely outdoor seating area.
