“Trenouth Cottage is a comfortable home from home to return to after exploring the North Cornish coast and coves.”

Perfect location to head off to the coast in very little time. Peaceful location and plenty of room to relax inside and out . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in October .

“What a wonderful tranquil place to stay.”

Has everything you need and so comfy. Not too far to drive to some of the beautiful bays and to visit other areas. Thank you for making such a warm inviting home from home.

“The cottage was lovely, bright and airy and very clean.”

There was a lovely welcome pack of tea/coffee! Hot chocolate, biscuits and wine!! It was further outside of Padstow than we anticipated but easily within driving distance. There was a lovely enclosed garden and lots of lovely wildlife. We saw endless robins and birds of prey and were even visited by a peahen. The only thing I would add was there was often a race for the bathroom as there was only one. We will be coming back next year!!

Kate March 2024

“Great cottage, very comfortable and ideal location.”

Only feedback would be to offer another bath Matt, we ended up buying one as the one provider was tiny and with two kids (baby/toddler) needed a bigger standard bathmat. But the place is great, and fully equipment, no need for oven gloves, dishwasher tablets, hand wash etc.

- Kate, March 2024
Nigel March 2024

“Not enough words to express how much we enjoyed our stay,from the welcome pack to the farm animals, especially the peacocks.”

This was our first stay at the cottage,but definitely will not be the last. The cottage,the location, perfect.Highly recommend 10/10 enough said

John March 2024

“This was a wonderful find, especially as we took our dog.”

There were private farm trails galore which the owners made clear we were welcome to use. The cottage had everything we needed and we enjoyed our welcome pack very much. Being able to be book a few days rather than a full week was a bonus for us. We had a great long weekend, thank you! The location was excellent as we needed to visit relatives in the Padstow area and our dog loved the local beaches!

- John, March 2024
Julia November 2023

“The cottage is way off the road with space all around , ideal for dog walking.”

The cottage itself was beautifully warm, cosy and comfortable.. The owners although very nearby didn’t intrude but repaired the DVD player very quickly and we’re friendly and helpful. All the facilities, beaches and local towns very about 5 miles away, so ideal

- Julia, November 2023
Mike September 2023

“The Sykes web site states up to 2 well behaved dogs allowed, but this needs to be updated to state, Not allowed upstairs and Not to do their duties in the garden.”

Not an issue if you clean up straight away. These facts need to be disclosed before making a booking, at the moment you do not know until paid in full.

- Mike, September 2023
Laura July 2023

“Had the most lovely stay at Trenouth Cottage, such a beautiful setting especially as we took our dog.”

Lydia March 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at Trenough Cottage.”

The welcome pack was amazing and just what we needed after a long drive. The cottage was clean, warm and cosy and had everything we needed. The addition of some board games for the kids, and logs for the wood burner was really appreciated. Great location, just 10 minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches. The kids loved the muddy walk to see the farm animals and the farm eggs were delicious, thanks. Would definitely love to come back one day.

- Lydia, March 2023
Owen March 2023

“Great cottage for us as a small family.”

Perfectly Located to get about the local sites. Loved all the little walks you could do on the farm. Nice addition.

- Owen, March 2023
Katherine February 2023

“The cottage was absolutely lovely.”

The only slight downside was that it is incredibly hard to find in the dark. We arrived late and struggled to find the driveway. The written instructions were not that helpful in the dark. If the directions referenced to follow signs for the farm shop from the cross roads and then the turning would be on the left this might be better. Also the bed linen (sheets mainly) are very tired and worn, we popped into Truro to buy new ones for our stay as the ones provided were not comfortable. We had a fantastic stay and we would absolutely book again.

- Katherine, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are incredibly pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, we are sorry you had difficulty in finding the property, we have asked the owner to check over the directions we provide incase we can improve on them at all to assist future guests. We hope to welcome you back to The Westcountry in the near future. We can also confirm that the linen was new on the beds Property Owner

“We had an amazing holiday at Trenouth Cottage.”

It frlt like ‘home’. We had everything we needed and more. If its your first visit to Cornwall you are ideally situated to visit the North Cornish coast. We thoroughly recommend and would love to return as we have family nearby and visit the area a few times a year. Just perfect.

- Debra, December 2022
Emma November 2022

“We had a superb stay at Trenouth Cottage.”

It felt very homely and comfortable immediately. We enjoyed the welcome pack! The cottage is situated in a peaceful location but is literally just a few miles from beaches and shops. We managed to explore so many places due to the location; we saw some amazing beaches and walked some of the coastal path. Recommended place to stay.

- Emma, November 2022
Liz October 2022

“We’ve been visiting Trenouth Cottage with our dogs for many years and always feel so welcome and relaxed in this large comfortable house which is situated in a peaceful rural location within easy reach of Padstow and some truly stunning beaches and coastal footpaths on the north Cornish coast.”

The kind and considerate owners are always so accommodating and keen for visitors to explore their beautiful farm which is home to animals such as cows, pigs and peacocks. The bedding and mattresses have been updated since our last visit and we slept incredibly well all week. We look forward to returning again soon.

- Liz, October 2022
Maria August 2022

“The location and size of the property was great.”

The pillows on the bed were/are awful, really cheap and thin. The mattress in the master bedroom was also lumpy and uncomfortable on one side. Another disappointment was the complete lack of ANYTHING in the kitchen other than 1 bin liner and some washing up liquid was very mean. Considering how much we paid for the cottage it was like the absolute bare minimum was provided for us. We stayed for two weeks and no cleaning after week one was not great either.

- Maria, August 2022

Hello, I am sorry that the cottage was a disappointment. We agree that the mattress and pillows had fallen below an unacceptable standard. We have replaced all of the pillows and ordered a new mattress for the main bed. I am afraid that we were away for the very week you arrived and that there may have been a breakdown in the normal procedures. In the kitchen I think you did have the normal welcome pack of wine and biscuits, milk, tea and coffee, etc. But also in the kitchen we should have provided cleaning products, dishwasher tablets etc as well as several bin bags and recycling bags etc. If it these were not there I apologise. We were not aware that a lot more than this is expected and will liaise with CCH to see how we can improve on this front. Anybody staying for 2 weeks is always offered the option to have a complete clean and at the very least a linen change and again we are not sure how this did not take place. or that contact was not made to see if you required this. (a lot of people prefer to not be disturbed) I have asked CCH to put in place a protocol to ensure this doesn't happen again. Property Owner
Pamela June 2022

“A spacious cottage in a peaceful setting with a lovely enclosed garden and it was located not to far from all the main tourist spots.”

The cottage had everything you’d need for your stay and had a lovely welcome pack, including milk, tea, wine and biscuits! However, this property had a distinct feel of being “tired” and in our opinion needed a refresh, and a really good deep clean.

- Pamela, June 2022
Yvonne May 2022

“Dog friendly tag could be more informative i.”

E., information on in house list I.e. dogs not allowed upstairs etc, and dog waste bin not available. All info should be included on the web page to enable a more informed decision pre booking

Mark July 2021

“Great location & peaceful.”

Made to feel welcome by the owners who came to say hello. Allowed us to wander around their land & meet the pigs & peacocks. Cottage very clean & everything readily available. Only comment I would make & this is personal to me is that I found the mattresses rather uncomfortable.

- Mark, July 2021
Linda June 2021

“Lovely cottage and facilities dogs loved the garden and very secure.”

Cottage well equipped with everything you need, beds so comfortable best night sleep. The sofa’s not so good the cushions move off could be better but don’t go away to sit in doors. The owners are so welcoming and friendly the farm is great seeing the animals and being able to walk round, going to book for next year.

- Linda, June 2021
Nikki May 2021

“The most fantastic cottage in a stunning location.”

The cottage was everything that we wanted. The owners were very kind and generous with showing us all the animals around the farm. We really didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. :-)

- Nikki, May 2021
Peter May 2021

“The cottage is located on the most wonderful farm which you can walk all around.”

The owners are very friendly and are more than happy to chat when you see them around the farm. The cottage’s location means it’s blissfully peaceful with only the sound of birds twittering (and the peacocks of course!) from the many trees so you’re able to relax from the second you arrive which is what a holiday is for. The cottage is spotlessly clean with plenty of crockery and glasses. The double bed, with the metal frame, which we slept in was so comfortable and the bedroom has lots of storage. The whole cottage has a very light and open feel which is wonderful and with so many windows and so many beautiful views it’s a real pleasure to come back at the end of the day. It’s in the perfect location for us as we love Harlyn Bay and Padstow. It’s easy to get to all the attractions you’ll want to visit. We loved it so much we’ve booked to come back next year and we can’t wait!

Brett September 2020

“The cottage was perfect.”

It was everything you could ever want from a cottage holiday. We've already tried to book the same place again but there's literally no availability for 2021. Its worth the wait though- see you in 2022!

- Brett, September 2020
Stephen September 2020

“Could do with more personal things like toilet rolls, Washing up liquid, .”

“Amazing weeks holiday here at trenouth cottage!”

Rupert was a great host and even brought us firewood when we asked! the farm and the location is stunning and you get free roam of the land! if you are looking at booking this place, please do, you won’t be disappointed!!!

- Anna, August 2020
Lisa August 2020

“There was rain coming in through the ceiling of one of the bedrooms.”

It was very damp and cold. The walls were wet with damp and our clothes were extremely damp when we left them in the draws. The photographs looked so lovely online - but the experience was not. We looked at other properties whilst staying and compared to other better places the price was very high. Lisa Maynard

- Lisa, August 2020

Thank you for your comments. We are really disappointed that you did not contact us at the time of your stay when we could have taken action as necessary. The owners live nearby and were unaware of any issues, they would have been more than happy if you had let them know so that they could have dealt with any issues. We have not received any comments regarding the house being damp and cold, we will however keep an eye on reviews and take action if required. Property Owner

“This was our fourth visit to Trenouth Cottage and we have already booked to come again!”

We just love the tranquil surroundings and it’s close proximity to some great beaches and coastal walks which is just perfect for a relaxing week away with our dogs; we always feel so comfortable here.

- Liz, October 2019
Nicola October 2019

“Beds were very comfy and the bed linens good quality as were towels,kitchen equipment, etc Tv was a good size and the settees comfortable.”

Wood burner was great. Wood provided too. Location was the best thing about this cottage. Although remote, access to the beaches local pubs and the lovely Padstow could not have been better. I may well go back

- Nicola, October 2019
Tracey September 2019

“This was our second visit to Trenouth Cottage and we have booked for 2020.”

We enjoy the peace and remoteness of the cottage. Waking up surrounded by beautiful farmland and animals is great. The cottage is spacious, cosy and has everything you need. We enjoyed lighting the woodburner on a couple of chilly nights. A lovely dog friendly cottage and we cant wait to return

- Tracey, September 2019

Helen June 2019

“We had the most lovely time at Trenouth Cottage.”

Rupert and Elaine made us feel so very welcome and let us have free access to all their wonderful land. The children especially enjoyed seeing all the animals and feeding the pigs! The cottage was the perfect size for the four of us and had everything we needed for a the stay. It was blissfully quiet and in the perfect spot for all our days out, we were never more than 15 minutes drive from a beach. Highly recommend!

- Helen, June 2019
Hazel May 2019

“Lovely, peaceful place which, although its on a working farm, is cleverly positioned so that it feels as though its on its own.”

This means that you don't see any of the farm traffic or other people unless you want to. Lots of good dog-walking country in surrounding area and the cottage itself is clean, has plentiful hot water, a thoughtful welcome pack (much appreciated, thank you) and everything else you could need. Plenty of space to park, dog-friendly gardens and it all feels nicely safe and secure. My one suggestion would be to improve/update the garden furniture, currently its an unmovable (heavy) picnic bench but that's a very minor issue. The real delight is no road-traffic noise and minimal light pollution, falling asleep under starlight and waking up to bird song is exactly what a holiday ought to be about. Its also within 4/5 miles of half a dozen beaches and bays and the south west coast path.

- Hazel, May 2019

Emma October 2018

“The cottage was brilliant - homely and fab fire!”

Everything we needed (including a lovely welcome package!) the grounds were fantastic too and we loved exploring with the peacocks, piglets and cat. The wind powered mill was epic! We will definitely be revisiting, was fantastic! Thank you :)

“Lovely house with everything we needed for a super relaxing holiday.”

House is bright and cheerful. Surrounded by farm fields, peaceful and very dog friendly. Front and rear gardens. Have already booked to return.

- Tracey, September 2018
Bev August 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what was a lovely little cottage,however, we were disappointed to have to clean up at least 6 lots of dog waste from the garden in order that our 3 year old grand daughter could actually play outside.”

We had our dog with us and like to think that we are responsible enough to clear up any of her waste, but clearly, the previous occupants couldn't be bothered. whilst we accept that it is no fault of the owners, we feel the garden could have been checked more thoroughly prior to our arrival.

- Bev, August 2018
Karen May 2018

“The cottage is set in beautiful surroundings, on a lovely farm which you are allowed to wonder were ever you like and the area is outstanding.”

Unfortunately the cottage wasn’t quite what we were expecting. It’s a bit tired - paint peeling, kitchen units falling apart, beds are past their best with lumpy mattresses. Shower was either freezing or too hot to stand under, took a very long time to get temperature ok. The whole property was very dusty with cobwebs everywhere. Overall it’s a lovely cottage - just needs to be updated. Certainly doesn’t warrant the four ticks you have given it. I just wonder when the last time Sykes checked it over. Ive booked through Sykes many times and always been delighted with properties but am sorry to say that I was really let down with this cottage.

- Karen, May 2018
Will May 2018

“Great location and beautiful cottage.”

Lots of animals on the Farm to see, enjoyed by our 7month old son. Good access to lots of villages, towns and beaches within 15 mins. We will definitely be back.

- Will, May 2018
Ian April 2018

“An excellent secluded cottage that provided a perfect base for our Cornwall holiday.”

Certainly lived up to our needs and the dogs had plenty of space around the area for walks. We will definitely consider a return in the future.

The property

Close to Padstow and the Camel Trail in a parish which boasts seven bays for seven days, a superb choice of wide coves where surfers hang out and golden bucket and spade beaches with hidden rock pools for family fun stretch out along the magnificent untamed shores of Constantine, Harlyn, Trevone, Padstow and Damar Bays.

Three miles from much loved Padstow, renowned for its busy harbour, celebrated sea-food restaurants and May Day Obby Oss festival, coastal walks, watersports, cycle trails and prestigious golf courses are all close by.

A hideaway retreat to return to after a day of adventure, Trenouth Cottage nestles down a private lane partly shared with the owners, set in enclosed secluded grounds where there is space for children to play, bicycles and surf boards to be stored and plenty of parking for a boat and trailer.

Leave the crowds behind and let all cares slip away as you relax in peaceful gardens enjoying sylvan views and the tranquillity of a pretty country setting.

A cottage with immense character and a warm welcoming appeal, the living room is very traditional with polished oak flooring, open beamed ceiling, a wood burner on the hearth, comfortable seating and a large country pine table for dining.

In the kitchen an old oak dresser supplements the range of modern fitted units here and in an adjoining utility room, and a curving staircase sweeps up to nicely presented bedrooms with white varnished floors, antique style bedsteads and lovely country views.

The third bedroom is carpeted and boasts a versatile zip n'link beds which produce a generous six foot bed.
