"There are some places that just happen to work well for families. Then there are others, like Tredethick, that were set up with families in mind from the start."

Finding peace in the Cornish winter

You see a very different side to Cornwall, in the subdued weather of a maritime winter. Far from the shiny cars and busy summer coast, you see the rugged beauty and space which Cornwall holds. Farmlife continues, and the seasons bring different pleasures. At Tredethick, we believe that winter stays are just as special.

Bringing everyone along… the joys of multigenerational holidays

Time with the whole family is time well spent. But big get-togethers come with their challenges. Deciding who is going to host, keeping small people entertained, and making sure Granny and Grandad can keep up with the schedule can require a generous helping of organisation. Over the years, we’ve picked up a few tips which can help to make these experiences fun and relaxing.
