Tredethy House

Built in Tudor times and later extended, this beautiful, peaceful and informally elegant English country house is set in an area of outstanding beauty.

Tredethy Country Hotel has been the home of many British families, and of Prince Chula of Thailand until the late 60s. A delightful and unique holiday spot today, Tredethy offers privacy and the blissful peace of the countryside, whatever the season. It is within easy reach of the north and south coasts, as well as the Eden Project and National Trust houses and gardens.

The 7 acres of grounds at Tredethy are themselves a piece of history, with many old trees and plants. March hosts hundreds of narcissus, and April is time for the breathtaking display of bluebells, followed by wild garlic and blue and pink wildflowers.

Rooms: 11
Rate: 90 - 165 GBP

The cosy, country feel of a lived-in house is effortlessly achieved by the ‘layering’ of furniture and objects inherited by this building over the years. In addition, charming informal pieces of continental and painted furniture have been brought in by the present Italian owners. Relax and unwind amid the surprising unpretentiousness.

The house hosts 11 en suite rooms. Five of them overlook the front gardens with the fantastic views of the Camel Valley and woods beyond. Two of these rooms can be twins.

Five other rooms are at the back, and we call them classic doubles due to their standard size.

One family suite occupies the right back wing of the house and overlooks an open courtyard with a view of the garden beyond.

All rooms are gracefully and individually decorated, with well-appointed bathrooms. We can accommodate one baby/child in our bigger rooms.

We offer a mouthwatering, continental, organic breakfast buffet, where all products are shortlisted from small local farms and organic producers. Where the food is not sourced locally, you will find it is a speciality.

A typical breakfast buffet will display warm croissants, cereals, bread, butter and the best jams and marmalade, a divine freshly made fruit-salad, delicious yogurts, boiled eggs, gourmet Italian ham and cheese, juices and fresh milk. Breakfast is served from 08:30 to 09:30.

The bar is also open in the evenings.

The north and south coasts are no more than half an hour away, ideal for morning coffee in Padstow, sailing in Fowey, and a drink and dinner in Rock or Port Isaac.

The Camel Trail (one of the most charming and varied bicycle and walking trails in the county) is literally on our doorstep. Bodmin Moor with its ancient, primitive landscape and wild horses is not far away.

The small town of Wadebridge is also close by, and is a buzzing place to stroll, shop and have a bite to eat. Some of the most majestic stately homes and gardens of Cornwall are also close by, like Lanhydrock House and Gardens, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. We are also an excellent base for visiting the Eden Project.
