Posted on Andrew Kerrison10/05/2026 All reviews are 5* - that can’t be right - but it is! We stayed at Trekenning House April 26 to celebrate my birthday with 13 guests. The area and coast line are fantastic. The weather was perfect. Not many tourists clogging up the country roads. But the house is in another league. We’ve stayed at some gorgeous country hotels over the years (Babington House, Barnsley House, Crowley Manor) and Trekenning is very much in the same league as these (in my opinion). Obviously it’s self catered but the owners (who were super helpful throughout) recommended local services including Dean from ChefInMyHome who again elevated the whole experience. I genuinely can’t think of anything the house was lacking. If you could give 10 stars, I’d give it 11! Thanks for creating such a fabulous house Joe and Kate. I’ve recommended it to nearly everyone I’ve spoken to since we left!Posted on Sarah Stapleton07/05/2026 Great well equipped house with beautiful grounds. Close (driving distance) to well known local places of interest, padstow, port Isaac etc. Games room great fun for all ages as was badminton and table tennis. Hosts very accommodating for last minute unforeseen circumstances. Cannot recommend highly enough and would love to come back.Posted on Thelma Baldry01/02/2026 We spent Christmas 2025 at Trekenning House. We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house and all of its gardens. We’d previously stayed for a long weekend and loved every part of the house. We vowed to have another holiday there as soon as we could. So when the opportunity arose to book for Christmas week, we decided it would be the perfect place and treat for our family, all 16 of us, (4 generations). The house is large with generous sized rooms and a beautifully equipped kitchen. Our grandchildren loved the cinema room and we all loved the games room. The separate lounge with log burner was beautifully adorned with a real Christmas tree and made for a magical Christmas room. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The gardens are vast and well kept and our family loved the huge hot tub. Even my mum who has been poorly loved walking around the gardens and was able to manage all the paths and lawns. I have and will continue to genuinely recommend Trekenning house as a beautiful holiday home for a large family or a group of friends. The house is behind electronic iron gates with a long driveway to the house where there is plenty of parking. We love everything about it and the owners are wonderful to deal with, from start to finish they were kind, helpful and communicated quickly. We couldn’t ask for more. We made wonderful Christmas memories at this fabulous holiday home and really hope to stay again sometime soon. Before we even left our grandchildren were asking me, when could we come back, we all felt the same. Thank you to Joe and Kate for providing a truly fabulous holiday home and service which really is as beautiful as the website shows, in fact we think it’s better, as there are more wonders to be explored when you arrive. Thank you also to the Gardner, who was really helpful, chopped us plenty of logs and a pleasure to deal with. Here’s hoping we can go back soon xxPosted on Glenda06/11/2025 Just spent a fantastic weekend at this beautiful house with our large family. It’s set in such beautiful large gardens where the children could run and explore everywhere burning up excess energy!. On an evening it was lovely to sit and relax in front of the log fire in the snug or enjoy a game of pool in the Games room. There was so much to do and the House is situated not far from local beaches and amenities. Everybody had a great time and the children were really upset to come home!!! Will definitely be back.Posted on Simon Cohen04/05/2025 What a super house for our extended family. Everything was perfect, beautiful grounds as well. Close to the great beaches of north Cornwall. We will return!Posted on Justine01/05/2025 The white manor house is absolutely beautiful and surpassed our expectations, it has everything you could need for a family holiday. The house is outstanding and the grounds beautiful. It’s only a 15 minute drive to the centre of Newquay which is also lovely. Would highly recommend staying here if you have a big group as there’s loads of space for everyone.Posted on Delfin Posada07/01/2025 We stayed at Trekkenning House with a group of 15 people (three families) from various parts of England, arriving just after Christmas and leaving on New Year’s Day. Our stay was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend this special time of year. The house itself is beautifully decorated and incredibly spacious, meaning that even with our large group, it never felt crowded. The games room was a hit with both adults and children, providing endless entertainment. The lounge was wonderfully cosy, perfect for the adults to relax and chat by the fire after long days exploring. Having two fireplaces (in the lounge and the games room) added so much charm and warmth, and the wood store was fully stocked to keep us toasty throughout the day. We loved that Trekkenning House preserved its stunning period features while incorporating modern touches like excellent heating, beautiful lighting, and a well-equipped kitchen. Despite the frosty weather, we were always comfortably warm. The pantry and laundry/utility room were fantastic additions that we didn’t expect but found incredibly useful. It truly felt like living in a grand manor house. The large dining table was another highlight, allowing all of us to sit together and enjoy meals as a group. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare and serve delicious meals, making it easy to cater for everyone. The cinema room on the top floor was a treat for the kids, giving them a dedicated space to hang out. The sleeping arrangements were perfect, with three of the bedrooms having en-suite bathrooms—an excellent feature for a group of our size. We also enjoyed the hot tub and exploring the grounds, which were a joy to wander through. The location was ideal, being less than a 10-minute drive to Watergate Bay, where we spent some lovely time at the beach. We had a fantastic New Year’s Eve party and felt Trekkenning House provided the perfect backdrop for creating unforgettable memories. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a large, comfortable, and beautifully maintained property for a group getaway.Posted on Matthew Hodgkin08/11/2024 Trekenning House is amazing, we really enjoyed our stay here with family and friends. The house Is gorgeous and has everything you would need. Look forward to staying here again in the future. Joe and Kate were amazing from start to finish.Posted on Susana Franklyn04/09/2024 Our family and friends had a fantastic time staying in the wonderful Trekenning House. This is a lovely, warm and beautifully decorated home from home with every detail thought of by the owners, who have created this truly special place to have a break, with every bedroom a delight to stay in. From the acres of land to wander, to the hot tub spa, outdoor sports facilities, table tennis, pool and games for children to the cinema room, wood burning fire, relaxing lounge and fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining room, there is everything you need to relax, unwind and re-energise. We can’t recommend it highly enough.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 30 reviews
We were in Cornwall for the wedding of Charlotte and Ryan and needed a house to accommodate 9 of us. This place has been absolutely perfect! Ideally situated for all amenities. The house could not have been better! It is stunning! Every room is decorated to a high standard. The games room was the most used room, a great vibe! The gardens were great for our 2 grandsons depsite it being a little damp following the rain. This is a house to be truly appreciated and it certainly was by us. Fantastic week! Thank you!

The best house ever for a Christmas celebration. Great space for the children. The welcome pack and the Christmas tree were wonderful. The chocolate Santas with the children's names on them were a special touch. Memories for everyone were created this week. Even a winter's day in the hot tub was great fun. Thank you.

What a wonderful house and base for our stay in Cornwall. The accommodation was so luxurious from the bathrooms, bedrooms to the beautiful outdoor areas which provided so much entertainment for the younger members of our party. It was in the perfect location to explore all Cornwall has to offer included the wide array of stunning beaches. We would love to come back one day.

What a beautiful home you have created! This has been the perfect place for our friends to reconnect. We loved using all of the fantastic bits that the house has for us to use, especially the kitchen herb garden and dining table for our teams 'Come Dine With Me' night!
We were extremely lucky with the weather too - we visited the Seal Sanctuary which was a fantastic day out, as well as plenty of castles and the Eden Project! We have had the most amazing week, and we'll be spreading the message about Trekenning House! Thank you so much again.
