Grooms Cottage- 4 Personen und Ihre Hunde

Higher Tregawne is farmed by Henry and his family, who keep 400 cattle and 1000 sheep.

John and Caroline live at Sleeve farm which is 26 miles away where they run a Stud farm

Both John and Caroline are animal lovers with a particular passion for dogs and horses.

They currently have 5 dogs 3 terriers, a Romanian Mio and a Bearded Collie. 4 of them are rescues.

It is ideal for dogs, families and you. It is rural, quiet, secluded, private peaceful and yet accessible. It is near everywhere but next to no where, Kids's can play and run free with your dog/s in the fenced exercise area whilst you watch them from the balcony.

Their is virtually no light pollution and no noise although you are right next to a working farm and their may be mooing and sometimes as in silage time machinery working late.

There are supermarkets in Wadebridge and Bodmin and Wadebridge in summer is a busy and vibrant place. There are takeaways that deliver and even a Mcdonalds 4 miles away on the A30.

The Coast is within 10 miles either way with every sort of beach you could wish for.Take little kids and the dog/s bucket and spading at Daymer Bay bigger ones body boarding at Polzeath. They strut their stuff whilst you sit on the beach and watch. Parents needn't worry if their body boarding looks like 'Dad dancing' only the kids will be embarrassed and it is amazing, come home worn out and covered in sand. There are boards in the shed. A lot of people buy wetsuits on line before they come.
If you are more athletic try surfing or coasteering which is great if you are strongish swimmers.

Tregawne sits at the head of the Ruthern Valley overlooking its own land. It is privacy personified.
Our own experience of Cottage holidays with dogs have told us that when the brochure says dog friendly it means you can bring your dog. Cottages have had no facilities for dogs at all. We went to Ireland the promised dog proof garden was far from it. The big dogs could jump the gate and the little dogs walk under it. Needless to say it did not lead to a successful holiday far from it.

When you come on holiday with dogs and kids they need space.
We have a fenced exercise area of nearly an acre where your dogs and kids can run free. No walk of shame at 7.30 am and 11.00 pm with a plastic bag although we do ask you to poo pick.
Chuck the dogs and kids out and go back to bed
or sit on the balcony and watch them. n.b there is a lake in the exercise area in which dogs and kids and you are welcome to swim but please do be careful and don't leave small children or ones who cannot swim unsupervised. The lake is between I and 2 metres deep in the middle.
We also provide a kennel for each cottage where you can leave your dogs if you want to go somewhere without them - assuming they are used to it.
