Conveniently located to the A30, you are taken away from 21st century Britain down the country lanes. You arrive in the hamlet of Trewerry. A 1630s watermill and trout-filled stream – beautiful at any time of year. The trains that once trundled past are now silent, the disused track now forms a tree-lined secret woodland walk, perfect for hounds.
In the car park, listen to the stream gurgling over the weir. Enter the sunny and warm granite cobbled courtyard (Shared with our 2 bed cottage the Granary) and you have reached your destination.
Suitable for a couple the Bowgie is a stone built studio style barn conversion with roof timbers exposed; adding much character. Floor to eaves windows bath the south facing living area in sunlight, which has a door opening onto the communal courtyard shared with the Granary. The bedroom benefits from a king sized bed and an en-suite bathroom with a Mira electric shower over the bath. There is a fully fitted galley kitchen with a pleasant westerly aspect. The cottage is a great dog friendly home from home. There is complimentary 20MB FTTP WiFi, suitable for streaming video and all the tapping that one would wish to do.
We offer electric car charging from the car park shed, subject to an extra fee, let us know before arriving if you want to use this service. You will need to bring your EV Granny charger with an UK 13Amp socket and extension lead.
Currently a house husband who lives on site next to our holiday cottages. We have plenty of space so guests can relax on their own terms. We won't intrude on guests but I will make myself available if assistance is needed. Though listed on this site from June 2019 we have been providing good quality letting at Trewerry Cottages since 2008. Our house keeping is performed by a reputable local Cornish firm.
We suit people who love the outdoors and want to stay in quirky historic property full of character. Trewerry Mill (which is next door to the cottages) dates to around 1639 and was partially rebuilt in 1820. The mill was one of several that served Trerice Manor (now owned by the National Trust and just five minutes walk up the road), and was in use until the 1950s. Across the road, by the stream, stands an old railway bridge. Trains used to run from Newquay to Chacewater, and would stop just outside the mill at Trewerry Halt.
Guests are welcome to use our private (1.2 km) nature trail, which winds its way North from our hamlet. The majority of the land was acquired by us in 2023. The trail is along a dismantled section of the track bed of the Treffry Estate Railway, linking Newquay Harbour to East Wheal Rose, an old lead mine, now home to Lappa Valley railway.
Starting either from the old level crossing at the lane by Trewerry Halt cross over the railway bridge spanning the stream, or from our car park up onto the old coal siding by the fig tree, this section has been allowed to regenerate in a quite wild manner in places bluebells have started to colonise the ground and look delightful in the spring.
Crossing a culvert you may notice several ponds dug in 2023 by the farmer on the east side, they will offer many new opportunities to invertebrates. Further on, looking uphill to the east the farm rolls across the undulating landscape, demonstrating why Cornwall is still a major milk producer.
Wildflowers are cut once a year around August to stop scrub enveloping the path. Arriving at the north railway bridge crossing the main arm of the Gannel river the trail has reached its end. Look out for carpets of snow drops here in late winter.
Returning back we hope you will enjoy viewing the vistas from a different perspective, perhaps a second visit of a flower or foraging caterpillar that interested you. Enjoy!
