“We were staggered to find so many coves within walking distance of the farmhouse, plus the private jetty’s course.”

Tregithey was close enough that I dropped 6 of our party at one cove, drove the car back up and walked down with the dog 20 minutes later. Having visited Cornwall many times before, it was amazing to find coves that tourists hadn’t spoiled - no car parks meant quiet, tidy beaches! The coves were sandy, pebbly and lots of rocks to explore. Crabs, fish, jellyfish all for viewing. 4 adults, 4 children (ranging from 16 to 9) and a dog had the best of times.

Thankyou Cornwall for not having a lockdown. We really needed a holiday this year

“Very pleased with the service received from Donna and her colleagues who presented the house spotlessly clean and welcoming.”

The cream tea upon arrival was much appreciated. Tregithy is a traditional Cornish farmhouse, we were very comfortable and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We were very disappointed to discover the price to re-book for the same time next year had increased by over £600 per week. On this basis we will regretfully look elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave us your feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Tregithey Farmhouse. We agree it's a fantastic place to stay! We are sad to hear that you will not be returning to the property. Prices of course will vary from year to year, even more so if the weeks don't exactly match the same ones you took previously. In this case, although there has been an increase, the same weeks are actually a very similar price. We do hope that you will be able to return again one day. Owner relations

“The house was much bigger than expected with plenty of room for the 9 of us.”

We particularly liked the huge dining table, that there were two television rooms, the piano and the warm porch. The gardens were spacious and we sampled the fruit. The house was in an open sunny spot with trees and fields around and we made good use of the quay with our boats and kayaks. We all enjoyed ourselves. Only downside was that the house is about 3 miles from the nearest shop.

“We really loved our week in Tregithey Farmhouse.”

It was perfect in so many ways. It was peaceful and down a lovely long drive. The private quay was perfect for our boats but was a bit untended and the grass very long. The garden was lovely but also untended and a bit overgrown. The house was excellent, very dated but we loved that. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were fine. A bit tricky having only one bathroom upstairs for 5 bedrooms but we didn’t mind coming downstairs to use the shower room. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed and a fabulous big kitchen table and gorgeous blue and white Cornish China. We were met with scones and clotted cream, a kind touch. Donna was so helpful and always on the end of the phone if we needed any help. The house was very clean. The only criticism I can make is that we had no idea that the barn, which is also let, is so close to the farmhouse. We thought we were by ourselves. It did not affect us but would have done if the barn had been let to a noisy party. We loved how rustic the farmhouse is and would be very sad if you had plans to do it up as it’s charm all lies in how lovely and simple and Cornish the house is. The area is fabulous with so much to explore and do and see. We loved every minute of our holiday.
Mr Flint Hulme July 2019

“Tregithey Farmhouse is a brilliant holiday cottage for friends and family wishing to explore the Helford / Lizard area.”

The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, a lovely peaceful and serene garden and the house is very comfortable. I would highly recommend and all our party said they would happily return to the farmhouse for another holiday.

“Fantastic farm house like living in a tasteful antique!”

Heating a bit haphazard but house was lovely. Fantastic location and facilities.
Mr Martin February 2019

“The property is quite dated and it is apparent visually that work will need to be done at some stage replacing windows etc, there is also a problem with the downstairs shower, whereby it does not drain properly and requires unblocking with the plunger regularly, which appears to have been an issue for some time, looking at previous review's.”

However the property was spotlessly clean on arrival and is clearly well cared for by the caretakers and ticked all the boxes for our needs. We were a family of five adults, 2 teenagers and 2 12yr olds and a dog. The house is very spacious with lots of room in the kitchen and living areas. The beds are also very comfortable The grass had recently been cut directly outside the property and the track which leads to the private quay had also been recently been cleared and cut. This was useful as we took a kayak and used it to access the creek on a daily basis. There is some fantastic walking in the area both from the property and within a short drive.
Mr Payne January 2019

“This place was like home from home.”

A beautiful farmhouse set in an idyllic setting. Donna, the housekeeper helped make our stay very smooth and was very attentive throughout the week. A totally wonderful experience overall.
Tracy H October 2018

“Outstanding”

This is an amazing, authentic old farmhouse in a beautiful setting, we spent many a time sitting in the sunroom fascinated by the views and the wildlife, the walk down to the Quay is lovely and the views along the creek are wonderful, the plentiful supply of apples we were able to help ourselves to from the garden has helped to give us memories to keep. Donna and Richard who look after the farm were friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in helping us sort a puncture. This setting just complimented the beautiful scenery around this part of Cornwall wonderfully. It is a truly memorable place

“We had a fantastic holiday.”

The cottage was superb and had everything we needed.
Mr Osborn September 2018

“We loved the House, it was perfect.”

Our beds were very comfortable and the walk down to the Creek was magical. We were contacted by Donna to make sure all was well at the beginning and half way through our stay. She was pleasant and could not be more helpful. We did get to see her before we left, and she was friendly and extended the smiling face of Cornwall. We were made to feel most welcome. we will return next year, hopefully twice!
Mrs Martin August 2018

“We were aware that there was only one bathroom before we went (and the price reflected that) but it was a bit difficult with 8 adults and three infants.”

The second toilet was very useful but the downstairs shower was not good. We were disappointed that tea towels and hand towels for the kitchen were not provided and hand wash in the kitchen was empty. The situation was delightful and very secluded which was lovely, but the property had a rather neglected air about it outside - weeds and brambles in the garden etc . It could be so much better with a bit of TLC !

The property

Tregithey Farmhouse shares the same secluded setting as Tregithey Barn, which has long been a favoured destination.

Enjoying a glorious rural setting hidden down a long private track, peace and tranquillity are in abundance and you need not venture far for scenic walks beside picturesque creeks.

A relaxing and private haven in which to enjoy the delights of the Cornish countryside, this 200 year old farmhouse retains immense character.

Beamed ceilings and sloping floors are part of its old-world charmed interior.

Spacious and well-equipped with the advantage of both a lounge and a sitting room, it offers comfortable accommodation for the larger party while still being cosy for small family groups.

The kitchen has the traditional appeal of a large table for gathering round at meal times. Delightful gardens to the front and rear are the perfect spot to enjoy a summers day.

There is plenty of room for boats and equipment at Tregithey and a private footpath leads down through Tregithey woods to the private tidal quay on Carne Creek.

Here visitors may moor their boats and enjoy boating and canoeing in seclusion.

Nearby St Anthony is a wonderful spot for hiring a boat and exploring the tranquil creeks of the Helford river and the pretty sandy/shingle beach at Gillan is approximately 1 mile away.

Manaccan with its excellent Post Office stores, restaurant and popular thatched pub selling great food and real ales are 1 mile away through the woods.

Nearest shop, pubs and butchers are a 5 mile drive away to a village called St Keverne.

About the location

MANACCAN

Helston 10 miles ; Helford 1.5 miles ; Porthallow 3 miles

The village of Manaccan on the South Helford is small and friendly, with an excellent restaurant, friendly village inn and a beautiful 12th century church. The South Helford is arguably one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Cornwall. With meandering country roads, picturesque creeks, tidal inlets and pretty waterside villages, the area can be summed up in three words: tranquil, charming and timeless. The perfect spot for enjoying outdoor living, the South Helford’s sheltered coves were made for messing around on the water and strolling leisurely along the banks. Leave your ‘phone behind and embrace the simple pleasures - while away time paddling in the shallows, explore hidden coves with a hire boat from St Anthony, and stroll through woodland to enjoy a picnic on the beach.
