Estates and their owners come and go, but Trelowarren can point to 1,000 years of recorded history, 600 of them in the Vyvyan family who run it today.
For Sir Ferrers, the current owner, it remains a work in progress. "Trelowarren is living history, not corporate heritage," he says. "We want to maintain the feel of a traditional working estate that people can share with us."
There is a lot to share: 1,000 acres of woodland, pasture, wildlife, Rococo gardens and walks leading on to the Goonhilly Downs, south to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI's) on The Lizard, and north-west to the boating paradise of the Helford River.
Though there are some of the most dramatic beaches and attractions in Cornwall on the doorstep, there is much to explore on site. The mysterious Halliggye Fogou - a neolithic, vaulted chamber below an Iron Age Hill Fort; the Pleasure Grounds, first laid out by Dionysus Williams in 1750 and now being restored; the Cornwall Crafts Association's main exhibition gallery and permanent display.
Trelowarren has its own superb restaurant, the New Yard, which uses fresh local ingredients for all its dishes. Breakfast patisseries are available from 10:30 am and wonderful lunches are served alfresco, with cream teas to follow an afternoon walk, a day on the beach or a voyage of exploration round the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, The Tate Gallery St Ives or further afield to The Eden Project.
A short siesta, or an hour spent gleaning ideas from the Vyvyans' notes on what to see or do tomorrow, and you should be about ready for the dinner menu and wine list lauded by Decanter and awarded two AA rosettes.
In essence, Cornish self-catering accommodation at Trelowarren draws on the same accommodation pool as timeshare and has a loyal following, so availability can be limited. Recognising this, we are offering an additional property of exceptional character and appeal - Trelowarren Mill, an idyllic house in a lovely, wooded valley, 50 metres from its own quay on the Helford River
Phase 1 of the 'Great Office' environmental and ecological conversion is complete and looking great. The houses, 'Comfortable, contemporary and green', featured in the property section of the Daily Telegraph and have generated keen interest from our timeshare and self catering customers.
