    Very comfy and cosy. Set in the most tranquil farm land. Our hosts were lovely even bringing us fresh scones , cream and jam. Also a very handy location only minutes away from Newquay and easy access to main roads for exploring. We would definitely stay again!

  • "The apartment was very clean, cosy, warm and comfortable and had everything we needed."

    The downstairs entrance was great for drying the dog (and us) and leaving wet boots before going upstairs. Parking was great as right by the front door. The owners were really friendly. We have booked for next year, so that says it all really.

    Somewhere quiet and comfortable but within easy driving distance of sights and attractions. The annexe is clean, comfortable and well-equpped and the owner was welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will definitely consider coming back.

  • "Great accommodation and hosts."

    The property is in a great location to explore Cornwall. A lovely rural location on a farm ideal for walking alone or out with the dog but still close enough to Newquay beaches and amenities. We came last year and loved it so much we came back again this year to explore more. Great holiday! Thank you.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to seeing you again Property Owner

  • "If you're looking for peace and quiet then this is the place for you."

    The annex has everything you need for a relaxing stay and is centrally based for going out visiting various attractions and other places. After being out all day (every day of our stay) it was nice to walk into a cool building and especially at night when going to bed. The view on a morning/late evening is quite relaxing when all you can hear is the occasional sheep and the birds singing, I would happily recommend this place. Also the homemade scones with jam and clotted cream was a lovely surprise on our arrival

  • "We appreciated this reasonably-priced, no-frills, first floor accommodation for our short stay while visiting relatives in the area."

    Due to family commitments we were almost exclusively at Trevarthian Farm Annexe in the dark and/or in a hurry, but the glimpses of farmland views from the (low) windows in the mornings were lovely. We had open access to the lane outside, and there was a grassy area directly opposite the property useful for our elderly dog to 'go' on, although we did have to always accompany her (we missed advantages of an enclosed garden more than we had expected, but that's on us). I was looking forward to enjoying countryside and woodland walks through the farmland as per description but in fact due to family commitments we were not on site enough: the only time I tried was late at night and our way through the gate was barred by two large goats! For the benefit of other guests: The flat was reached by a flight of stairs but otherwise on one level. There was a dehumidifier inside the ground floor entrance (to deal with condensation I think) and a slight damp smell in the flat on arrival (which wore off over our stay) but in fact the flat was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean, with no signs of damp. The beds and sofas were comfortable, and the small kitchen well-equipped. We appreciated the cream tea ingredients, the pint of milk in the fridge, and the books and games. The owners who live in the adjoining farmhouse got a good balance between checking on us a couple of times (& answering messages sent via the app) but otherwise being unobtrusive and not hovering. If I had to suggest an improvement it would be for a slightly larger well-lit mirror in the master bedroom with a shelf or dressing table so getting ready in the morning would be easier. It would be also useful to have a direct mobile number for the owners in case of needing to reach them quickly. No complaints from our adult sons who shared the second bedroom. We were grateful to find that the owner had kindly made the zip linked double bed up as separate twins for them. We had been somewhat stressed that this request which I had had made via Sykes by phone on the day of booking (and which the call handler had confirmed by email at my request) had not got through to the owners - Liz had to contact me on the day of travel to check our preference. The written directions for reaching the farm need proofreading (the NT property is Trerice not Terrace) and improving. It might be worth warning guests about the No Entry road sign you have to pass (and ignore). Then the "first" door you reach on the lane to the farm is not the first: there's another property/building on the same side of the lane which you pass first. The door is indeed a good marker for the property from the road but it's *not* the actual entrance to the flat as described. An outside light (perhaps motion sensor) outside the farmhouse/parking area would be helpful for guests arriving and unloading in the dark and also when taking their dog outside. All in all, though, we were satisfied with our stay, pleased with our choice of property and in similar circumstances would choose it again (although possibly not with an elderly dog who gets up several times a night).

    Thank you for your honest feedback, we shall be implementing changes following your review. Property Owner

  • "There were no mattress protectors and the mattress was stained so we had to buy our own bedding !"

    !! The cottage was grubby with dead bugs. There was no welcome gift. We had no control over the heating and were often cold. The location of the cottage was excellent and central to most attractions it would not consider staying there again. Very disappointing .

    We are sorry to hear about the experience you had while staying with us, yet we would have appreciated you informing us about these issues during our nearly daily interaction. It was lovely meeting you, but it comes as a shock and a disappointment that these issues were never aired to us until now. When you arrived early, we had to prepare the beds faster than anticipated so we did initially miss the mattress protector, yet once pointed out we provided one. We are sorry we did not initially provide a welcome gift, this is due to a last-minute family matter, yet we did rectify this the following day once we were available. As for the heating, we provided electric heaters as we do control the heating outside of the house, but once asked, we gladly raised the heating for you. We have been holiday letting for years, and have yet to hear back any feedback like what we received from you. I am truly sorry to hear about your experience, yet I cannot help but wonder why you did not reach out to us regarding these issues when we asked how your stay was going. Property Owner

    The scones, cream and jam were a nice touch when we arrived. The annex is very well equipped and comfortable with beautiful views. The location for visiting both sides of the Cornish coast was excellent. My husband and I really enjoyed our 6 night stay.

The property

Trevarthian Farm, an idyllic first-floor Annex is situated in the little hamlet of Kestle Mill and is a perfect base for families to explore both the coast and countryside of Cornwall’s beauty.

In an ideal private spot with no ongoing traffic, you will be engulfed with the feeling of safety from the moment you put your bags down and feet up.

Enter the spacious, open-plan kitchen and living space with views from the infinite farm fields around; it will not feel real that there is a beach just a short drive away!

This well-equipped kitchen has ample amenities needed to cook up a storm, and when it's time to serve, take your family outside to the generous lawn, set the table, and breathe in the fresh Cornish air while indulging in your favourite dish.

Or, if the kitchen can wait, grab your best chef hat and utilise the barbeque to perfectly end an evening in Cornwall.

A double bedroom with a TV, as well as a twin room perfect for the younger members of your family which also houses a cot, all await sleepy heads.

Just a short drive from your lovely holiday escape, you will be able to tick off many of the iconic Cornish beaches from your bucket list, every day of your stay.

Crantock Beach, Newquay Beach, and Porth Beach, to name a few, all await sandy footsteps and surfboards; be sure to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins coming up to say hello!

Fistral Beach is known as Cornwall’s prime surfing location so be sure to impress the locals with how you catch a wave; or for the beginners, there are plenty of surf lessons catering to your needs.

All beaches enveloped around are ideal for water sporting enthusiasts, paddle-boarding and kayaking or if you are more of a watcher, there are plenty of surf shacks and restaurants around to thrill your tastebuds, while observing and taking in the wonderful ambiance of a Cornish summer.

The century National Trust Building Trerice is right on your doorstep and cannot be missed, where the surroundings of this property are a picture-perfect opportunity.

Not forgetting the younger members of your family, Dairyland Fram Park or Newquay Zoo is perfect to channel their animal-loving side, with a fantastic playground with trampolines, zip wires, go-carts, to name a few all to choose from.

Trevarthian Farm Annex is perfectly situated for the beach and countryside lovers, with memories just waiting to be made.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

This Cornish village rests some three miles south-east of Newquay, named after the surrounding area of moorland and playing host to a local shop, a couple of pubs, a garden centre and the railway station, which operates local services every couple of hours between Par and Newquay. You can also access Newquay by car, via the A392, and discover its endless supply of rolling surf, three wonderful beaches, each offering something different, and a variety of family-friendly attractions. Spend a day at the zoo or sea life centre with the kids and try out some of its finest restaurants and bars for light refreshments or a spot of lunch. The South West Coast Path is a must, attracting tourists from all over, home to an abundance of wildlife and spectacular landscape scenery, as well as picturesque beaches and hidden coves. You also have the chocolate-box fishing village of Padstow with its thriving harbour and traditional Cornish amenities, while the city of Truro has museums, its beautiful cathedral, and cobbled streets. The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the towns and villages of Fowey, Polperro and Mevigissey are also worth visiting. This is the ideal base for exploring the heart of Cornwall.
