“Despite not being permitted into the property till 6pm due to the understandable extra cleaning required during these Covid 19 times, there were a number of issues with overall cleanliness especially with kitchen utensils needing to be washed before use.”

The owners were very helpful and provided very useful information on arrival. The enclosed garden was a massive hit for all the children and indeed the whole family. The local beach is stunning and the reserved parking at the top of the hill was a blessing. Edgcumbe Park is a must to visit and provided hours of entertainment for the whole family.

- Mr Best, August 2020
“The owners of the property were very nice people and extremely approachable.”

However, from the time of booking and leading up to the holiday we found Sykes communication to be lacking. We even made a complaint about how every time from point of booking to final payment, Sykes would then send an email to say that there was a change to the agreement of the holiday. The reply we received was found to be condescending and did not answer our concerns or queries. We would therefore recommend the property to others but certainly not to book any holiday through Sykes.

- Mr Frankling, September 2020
“Apart from all the issues leading up to the holiday (communication with Sykes) the cottage seemed great on arrival.”

Unfortunately it soon became clear that the floors downstairs although had been washed (they were still wet) and smelt clean, were in fact filthy. After wiping up a spilt drink, the cloth turned black! It was then the same when we wiped the kitchen table- dirty again! If the place had taken nine hours to clean, this shouldn't have happened, not should we have found playing cards and Lego under one if the sofas in the playroom. There was a feeling of damp in most of the rooms and as the week went on, the damp smell got worse and the books we'd left in the play room were actually damp right through by the time we left. It was such a shame as the cottage was a great size and great location and we would have booked again, but I can't expect my parents and children to stay in such a damp house. It really needs sorting out!

“We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house.”

big and comfortable for 2 families with 5 children ranging in age, lovely situated with an easy access to a unique beach and a nearby village. the host is very nice. highly recommended!!!

- Ms Sasson, July 2020
“The farm house was ideal for the family ( 12 in total with 6 children, five of whom were 7 and under).”

The garden was large and safe for the children to play in and for all of us to sit and relax. The children loved playing in it . The dedicated car parking for Tregonhawke Farmhouse, at the top of Donkey Lane, was a bonus- a number of cars parked incorrectly on the road at the top of Treganhawke bay, were given parking tickets!!! A small suggestion would be the provision of a second TV somewhere in the house. The TV with DVD in the playroom was great for the children but no free view available on it and WiFi could be improved. However the weather was lovely and little tv watching was carried out. Free fishing, as advertised when we booked, was not available.

- Mrs Twist, July 2020
“The farmhouse is perfect for large families,Ten of us went, three generations including four children between five and thirteen and a dog.”

A lovely location, good kitchen facilities and a boot room. We loved it.

- Mrs Laramy, October 2019
“We were a group of six friends on a walking holiday.”

We all wanted our own beds, if not our own bedrooms. Tregonhawke gave us plenty of space, good bathrooms facilities and an excellent kitchen for our communal cooking. There was good parking, plenty of hot water and a TV which worked without resorting to multiple controls! The only downside was the lack of a drying room for our ( very) wet walking gear at the end of the day and no central heating controls, other than a thermostat which did not seem to activate the heating.

- Mrs Townend, September 2019

The heating is set on auto at 21 degrees. The property has a tumble drier and there is a line outside. The owners live on site and are happy assist guests to make any adjustments which may be required. Owner relations
“The location was perfect for those that like walking.”

Nearby was a pleasant small town with two pubs, two restaurants & shops plus wonderful beach accessed by a steep narrow hill up & then down to the sea. This property is unsuitable for the disabled.

- Dr Goodwin, September 2019
“We enjoyed our stay in the farmhouse and had a lovely week.”

Its a secluded position on a farm. The free parking near the beach was very useful. The fishing lake was peaceful and quiet.

- Mr & Mrs Trotter, August 2019
“This property was amazing and exactly what we needed as a mixed family group!”

- Ms Turner, June 2019
“This was our fourth visit to this property.”

The house is spacious and homely, with more than enough room for our group of nine adults and two children. The location is simply stunning and near to local amenities and great beaches.

- Mrs Ingram, May 2019
“Our family (6 adults and 3 children) stayed at Tregonhawke to celebrate a special birthday.”

The farmhouse is spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. The children enjoyed playing in the lovely garden and we all enjoyed the walk to the nearby lake. The beach is a short drive away and it was good to be able to use parking spaces reserved for Tregonhawke guests. The owners were very friendly and available to help with any problems.

- Mr Russ, May 2019
“The farmhouse was absolutely perfect for our group of 13!”

It was spacious, warm and contained everything you could possibly need. The kids (age 2-7) especially loved having their own 'kids tv/play room'. It's also in a very pretty setting with a secure garden. Amazing beach close by, (steep walk down but worth it) free parking in owners field. Mount Edgcumbe House is 10 minutes away and a great place to walk, bike ride and take in amazing views. The owners are wonderfully friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend this accommodation to large groups, especially with kids. Excellent!!!

- Mrs Waghorn, October 2018
“Welcoming, comfortable home from home with excellent amenities and dog friendly!”

Tregonhawke Farmhouse - What a gem of a holiday home! Selfishly I don't want to write a good review so as not to alert others to this wonderful place!! The family at Tregonhawke are super relaxed and nothing is too much trouble. The farmhouse itself is so clean, warm and cosy, very comfortable beds, spacious rooms throughout, fantastic farmhouse kitchen table for my whole family of 10 to sit around . Facilities all excellent - unlimited hot showers, unbelievable amount of cutlery/crockery and cooking implements - no need to take anything extra. Beautifully kept garden with sunny aspect. Having the lake to fish on your doorstep was an absolute bonus, stocked with beautiful quality carp (so my husband said) - very peaceful lake to sit around and enjoy. I really don't think I know of a negative comment to add - simply a wonderful home from home with every comfort you would need. The Whitsand bay beach is so clean and huge when the tide is out - great for budding young surfers but it is quite a steep path down and not for the elderley. The beach cafe is a great stop on the way down though. Easy to pick up the coastal path and walk along 4.5 miles to Kingsand & Cawsand. We will not hesitate to return !!!

“A large comfortable well-equipped farmhouse”

The property offers everything you require for a relaxing stay and is well equipped to cater for everyone's need's. Our party consisted of 7 adults and 2 young children and the size of the property and its layout provided more than enough space for everyone to either be together or spend time doing there own thing, be that inside or in the well sized and stocked garden. The kitchen allowed everyone to dine together although the small cooker wasn't quite adequate for 7 hungry adults. Located on a working farm the hills that surround the property are used for livestock giving you a taste of the true countryside. The fishing lake is very well stocked and delivers good fish and throughout our stay was not over-fished by paying customers. The owner was very polite and helpful. Will be returning in 2016.

About the location

MILLBROOK

Whitsand Bay 1 mile; Plymouth 8 miles.

Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy RNLI patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

Note: Beach parking available in owner's field above Whitsand Bay, by arrangement. 'Day care' for dogs available. Arrival after 4pm. This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250

Note: No Stag or Hen parties

Fishing at the lake will no longer be free to guests. We are restricting fishing to 5 paying customers with nobody else accompanying. Booking and payment for fishing (£10 per person per day with access only between 0800 and 1800 hours) must be made in advance. There will be not refund of payment if the person decides to cancel.
