Trenarlett Farm is in a wonderfully tranquil spot in the heart of rural Cornwall. Dickins Cottage was converted from a cattle barn into luxury, top quality accommodation. Beautifully restored and appointed it is set on the sunny side of the valley above the River Camel (access for fishing may be available by arrangement). Extremely spacious and well equipped, with large comfortable beds and sofas, underfloor heating and bedroom suites at each end, Dickins' has everything you need for a relaxing break, be it with family or friends. This property's eco credentials include solar power and water saving measures on their taps and in their showers. The property was built using FSC and PEFC certified timber by local tradesmen, supporting the owners to reduce their carbon footprint. Firewood provided is from naturally fallen or felled for safety trees from the farm. The owners also installed various measures to mitigate an disturbance to wildlife, have nurtured and added to a small orchard planting native West Country species, planted new hedgerows and have worked hard to protect the river banks on the farm. Independent from the farm and each other, a combination of cottages could be booked together for larger parties. The surrounding villages offer a range of friendly pubs serving food and wildlife lovers, birdwatchers, keen walkers and cyclists will be in their element with the wilds of Bodmin Moor and the famous Camel Trail practically on the doorstep. Those feeling really energetic can reach Padstow along the Trail, so bringing bikes is definitely worth it (but they can be hired locally). Just 10 minutes' drive from the A30 and 5 from the Atlantic Highway (A39) you are well placed to enjoy the whole county. The coast path, numerous beaches, Padstow, Port Isaac, Tintagel, Boscastle, Polzeath, Eden and much more are all there waiting to be explored.
