Tredarrup, Bodmin self catering holiday cottages

AT TREDARRUP the countryside is all around as you look out across the hills and the valley.

We have a lot of different birds nesting. The swallows start arriving from Africa every spring and make their nests in our barns for the summer. We are waiting to see how many will join us this year, last year we had five pairs. They will stay with us until September when they get ready to head back on their long journey.

In our small woodland we have an abundance of wild flowers, bluebells in the spring, butterflies, and insects. We have bird and bat boxes with an owl box that we are hoping a barn or tawny owl will make its home in soon.

Our own suckling herd of Dexter cattle has three new calves, all born in September. Our neighbouring farmer has new spring lambs, sheep, cattle and horses.

Nearby beaches are Polzeath, with its broad sweep of Hayle Bay at low tide making the sand perfect for castles and beach games. Daymer Bay, is a beautiful family beach at all stages of the tide with good cliff top walks. Trebarwith Strand, dramatic sandy beach only accessible at low tide with great cliff walks.
