On the cliffs at Treknow and overlooking the Beach at Trebarwith Strand, this comfortable cottage has stunning coastal and rural views.

In 1912 Gull Rock and its Coach house was built in a magnificent position on Treknow cliffs overlooking the beach at Trebarwith Strand on a plot of 16 acres previously owned by the Earl of Wharncliffe. In 1932 10 acres of the land, including part of Treknow cliffs, was gifted to The National Trust.

The Coach House was sympathetically converted into a comfortable self catering holiday cottage 17 years ago. The ground floor consists of a lounge, originally the coach house proper and a partially separated kitchen diner area, converted from the stable. Heating is electric, (mainly thermostatically controlled radiators) apart from a woodburner which can create a cosy atmosphere in the lounge and warms the upper floor too. The main bathroom and toilet is on the ground floor with a shower over the bath. Upstairs, originally the hayloft, there are two bedrooms with low ceilings, one a double and the other a twin. The master bedroom possibly has one of the best views in Cornwall, no need even to get out of bed to appreciate this! There is also a toilet and small washbasin on this floor.

We provide all bed linen, tea towels, kitchen towels and towels for personal use but not those for the beach and swimming. The kitchen is well equipped with cooker, fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle and coffee maker and Washer/dryer whilst in the lounge there is a colour TV and a Video-recorder.
 

The cottage, on the very outskirts of Treknow, has wonderful views across Port Isaac Bay towards the Rumps and Pentire Point with Gull Rock, about a mile off the beach at Trebarwith Strand, in the foreground. On a summer evening you can sit on the patio and eat alfresco with all this grandeur in front of you. Sometimes you will be lucky enough to see a wonderful sunset or even observe the "Green flash" as the sun finally sinks below the horizon. There are also extensive rural views from other aspects of the cottage.

This self catering holiday cottage has its own small garden, mostly laid to grass with access to the 5 acres of fields still a part of the Gull Rock estate. During the low season there are frequently cattle grazing these fields, these always create a tranquil influence!
There is ample parking in the courtyard right alongside the cottage sufficient for two to three cars. In order to reach the footpath to Treknow cliffs and Trebarwith Strand beach you just have to cross the courtyard, then it is about a ten minute walk down to the beach at Trebarwith Strand. As we are 300 feet above sea level it takes rather longer to walk back up again!

I am sorry that we do not accommodate pets.
