All year holidays
Short breaks
You can book a short break with us all year round, excluding school holidays. And a full holiday week at any time of year.
We think Tredethick is a wonderful place to visit whatever the season. And, judging by our bookings, our guests seem to agree. Springtime, when the days are growing longer and the countryside leaps into life, or autumn with its ripe apples, blackberries and golden leaves, or winter, when the fields sparkle with frost and your breath steams in the crisp air. Each season is filled with its own magic. Take a look at our blog for more all-season holiday inspiration.
The joys of spring
Buds bursting, birds twittering, bees buzzing… Springtime is a green light for nature and there’s a sense of growing excitement in the air. There are new-born lambs to feed (when you see them leaping about you’ll know why it’s called spring) and bluebell-carpeted woods to explore. The weather is usually good and places are rarely busy. It’s a wonderful time to go walking or cycling – perhaps to enjoy the first picnic of the year. Play pooh sticks in the river or go crabbing in rockpools – if you’re lucky you might spot seals out at sea.
Awesome autumn
Cornwall is quieter now, there’s often a stolen, golden day at a beach. The farm trail abounds with ripe hedgerow fruit and crisp fallen leaves, and you can gather wood for your cottage log burner. The sea is at its warmest if wild swimming appeals,. In Hallowe’en week, pumpkin lanterns appear outside our cottages and there’s the opportunity for a gentle introduction to treat or treating as a procession of witches, dinosaurs and pirates (with parents!) tour the cottages for treats.
Winter wonders
When the mercury plummets, our cottages are havens of cosiness. Many have log burners, perfect for family snuggles, and all are centrally heated. During winter, we move our lambs, goats and pigs into our cosy barn to join the ponies, guinea pigs and rabbits. There’s still animal feeding and pony riding, just as in the summer months. The surrounding countryside takes on a different, wild beauty at this time of year. The beaches are empty of people yet full of drama, with wind-whipped waves lashing the sands. Perfect for a bracing walk followed by a mug of hot chocolate in a beach café.
Christmas and new year
Tredethick is an enchanting place to be at Christmas and New Year. Our cosy cottages (with real Christmas trees) are perfect for family get togethers or to get away from it all. Just book yourself a food delivery for when you arrive, then get ready to relax. Animal feeding and pony rides still take place (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day – though rest assured we still feed them!).
