A stay at Tregondale Farm, in the heart of
Cornwall, gives our visitors many opportunities to
get closer to nature on a real working Cornish farm.
Mervyn and Stephanie Rowe have been farming at
Tregondale for over 30 years and run the farm with
their son, Richard, who with his family, lives in a
cottage on the farm. Richard started work on the
farm in 1989 when he left school. Their daughter
Amanda and her husband David live nearby, making
this very much a family run concern.
Mervyn and Richard run the farm, whilst Stephanie
manages the farm holidays, giving visitors from all
over the country and further a field an excellent
chance to see nature first hand on a real working
Cornish farm.
"We're very aware of how lucky we are to live in
such a lovely place, and we all get a lot of
pleasure out of helping other people to enjoy it",
says Stephanie. "It must work, because a large
number of them keep coming back year after year!"
Tregondale is a traditional working farm,
situated in attractive surroundings of an ancient
valley, close to the Cornish town of Liskeard. The
Farm House stands on the site of an old manor,
dating back to the Doomsday book. The walled garden
is an indication of a time long ago, and the giant
beech tree is a major feature.
All over the farm are special viewing points,
which are very popular at lambing and calving times!
We have a herd of Pedigree South Devon cattle,
and the calving, which happens mainly in the spring,
produces prime beef for the premium market.
Also to be found on the farm are a flock of
purebred Longwool ewes, and Longwool cross Suffolks,
which are put to our Suffolk ram for lambing in late
January/ early February.
Our fully modernised home retains its charm &
character, comfortably furnished throughout with
co-ordinated decor and fittings. Our Farmhouse
accommodation provides three luxurious en-suite
bedrooms with bed & breakfast facilities and
optional evening meals.
Tregondale Farm offers food of Cornish
excellence, plentiful & tastefully presented. Enjoy
our delicious country cooking with fresh and
homegrown seasonal produce. A wonderful welcome and
friendly atmosphere is assured, culminating in a
memorable holiday.
