Trethin is situated in beautiful countryside a short distance from the ancient market town of Camelford on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor, and only a few minutes’ drive from the spectacular north Cornish coast. Once a working farm, its traditional farm buildings now form a cluster of comfortable holiday cottages in rural surroundings. The cottages are surrounded by lawns, flowering shrubs and mature trees and provide plenty of space for relaxation. There is also a games room with table tennis and a pool table. Nearby are several golf courses, the fishing villages of Port Isaac of Doc Martin fame, Padstow with its renowned fish restaurant. beautiful Boscastle, and Tintagel with the ruins of King Arthur’s Castle. Trethin is also an excellent base for day trips to the Eden Project, Lanhydrock House and Gardens, and many other attractions in the vicinity too numerous to mention. Views of the wild Atlantic and the coastline from the coastal footpaths are magnificent while walks on the moor offer rugged solitude. Shops/restaurants 1½ miles.

Picturesque setting in a quiet location, well placed for local attractions.Cottage is comfortable although tired in some aspects but this did not detract from our enjoyment of the holiday. Could do with a new fridge and pillows. Dovecote did appear to be the only cottage without comfortable outside furniture (just a couple of bistro chairs supplied). However, the cottage is well equipped for a week’s stay.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Wir waren zu viert für eine Woche in der Unterkunft und konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Die gesamte Anlage, vor allem der hintere Garten ist sehr schön angelegt. Besonders das Spielhaus mit der Tischtennisplatte hat unseren Kindern sehr gefallen. Die Wohnung selbst war auch gemütlich und sehr sauber. Es war alles da, was man bräuchte. Die Unterkunft ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Strandausflüge und Wanderungen.
