Tregathenan House and Cottages offers a charming collection of self-catering accommodation nestled in a peaceful rural hamlet near Helston, Cornwall. Choose from three beautifully restored granite cottages in a sunny enclosed courtyard, each sleeping 4 to 5 guests, or the larger period Tregathenan House with its own tranquil garden, accommodating up to 6. The properties are individually designed with character and charm, centrally heated throughout, spotlessly clean, and very well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy private parking, cosy log burners in some cottages, and the unique experience of meeting resident alpacas, ducks, geese, and chickens. The owners, Liz and Ian, warmly welcome visitors to their idyllic countryside retreat and even offer free alpaca trekking on Wednesday afternoons, plus a playroom packed with toys and games for children. The place is dog-friendly, promotes sustainable tourism, and features electric vehicle charging points.

The location is perfect for exploring the stunning landscapes of southwest Cornwall, including the Lizard Peninsula. Guests can step out for country walks, cycle rides starting right from the doorstep, and visit nearby beaches, gardens, and the ancient market town of Helston. There’s also the fascinating Helston railway restoration project within walking distance. Those after some adventure can enjoy coastal and rural trails, while families will appreciate the peaceful environment and on-site nature encounters. It’s truly “away from it all, but in the middle of it all,” offering a perfect blend of relaxation and outdoor exploration in beautiful Cornish countryside.
