Staying at the historic 600 year old Cornish estate you will be able to step straight out of your cottage directly into the 1000 acres of serene pasture and woodland which surround your own garden area.
Follow the bosky, winding path to the Helford River which inspired Daphne Du Maurier to write Frenchman’s Creek; enjoy Rococo gardens designed by Dionysus Williams (under restoration); visit the ancient Halliggye Fogou, a mysterious neolithic chamber.
Choose from a selection of properties; delightful old-fashioned cottages restored to the highest standards; award winning conversions of the old estate buildings; or newly built eco-friendly houses. All are heated by our Bio-mass boiler and benefit from tap water fed by the estate springs. We welcome children (and dogs!) and each property has a child-friendly garden.
We are proud to provide the main exhibition and retail space for the Cornwall Crafts Association Gallery and Shop, which are located in the estate’s Georgian stable-block. The gallery houses a changing portfolio of multi-media crafts, including pottery and ceramics, textiles, jewellery, sculpture and furniture.
Also in the stable yard is our award winning New Yard Restaurant, where you can enjoy locally sourced, delicious 2* food. Or order picnic lunches and homemade pizzas baked in our wood-fired oven, for your trips around the glorious Lizard Peninsula and county of Cornwall. Alternatively, spend the day on the estate enjoying our all-weather tennis court, swimming pool and glorious walks.
Our swimming pool is located within the old walled garden, which is a natural suntrap. The pool combines the latest green technology with organic construction materials. Lined with river pebbles, it is largely surrounded by natural decking and features a separate children’s pool. We try to keep it at a constant 28-degrees Celsius (82 Fahrenheit) from mid March to the end of October by the same carbon-neutral system that heats the houses.
While you are at Trelowarren you will of course enjoy the exceptional comfort, warmth and the stylish finish in our houses - but don't be deceived. You can be comfortable and green.

"The accommodation and grounds are gorgeous - I'm sure that being able to build up a long-term relationship with the place would be deeply rewarding. It’s fantastic for families, too, as children can explore the woods and run wild together, while their parents relax by the pool."
