Amazing

We had such a great time at Bailiff's Cottage! It was exactly what we wanted for our stay in Cornwall. Fantastic location in the countryside right next to a livestock farm which gave our stay a lovely touch. It was great preparing our meals watching grazing animals right outside the kitchen window! Clean air, noise absence and the beautiful colors of the countryside did the rest! The cottage was perfect for the 5 of us and the garden was a bonus to our border collie who loved playing there with an eye to the cows and sheeps next door! Good location to explore Cornwall and no too far from beautiful beaches and stunning coastal sceneries! We can't wait to book another stay and highly recommend it to everyone who loves nature and peace. Our host left a welcome basket for us which was a lovely surprise. Definitely a beautiful holiday and a 5 star rating!

Lovely and Restful

We had a great time (June 2023). The bungalow is well equipped, kitchen appliances, TV, internet etc. A selection of good shops is reasonably close (eg Wadebridge 4 miles away) and there is lots of larder, fridge and freezer space. We had the benefit of good weather which made just sitting in the very large garden very relaxing. The garden is safely fenced for dogs, ours loved exploring. Caroline is very helpful.

A great two weeks away with the family and the dogs

We had an amazing break in perfect accommodation. We were joined by our adult children for the second week. Our Son and his Fiance stayed in the twin room, and our Daughter and her Husband stayed outside in their camper van! The cottage was clean and idealy suited to a rural break. The wifi was an unexpected bonus! We all had a great time. (ps The Rayburn makes the best jacket potatoes!)

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Drake

John and Caroline Drake keep 200 cattle, several horses and 3 terriers at Sleeve Farm near Liskeard. Higher Tregawne is farmed by their tenant, Henry who keeps 400 cattle and 1,000 sheep! It is a busy and rewarding life for all of us although not financially!

Why they chose this property

It is perfect for the whole family including the dogs. You can let them out of the door secure in the knowledge that they won't disappear and that goes for the children as well. You are also welcome to enjoy the lake area in front of the farm house where you could have a barbecue or a picnic and meet the other guests and their dogs.

What makes this property unique

Tregawne sits at the head of the Ruthern Valley overlooking its own extensive grounds. It is extremely private. Our own experience of cottage holidays with dogs have told us that when the brochure says 'dog friendly' it means you can bring your dog and that's about it. There have been no facilities for dogs let alone a dog proof garden. We aim to take the stress out of taking your dog away so that everyone can relax and enjoy the break.
