Keepers Cottage - sleeps 2 adults, 2 children and your dogs

Higher Tregawne is a 400 acre beef and sheep farm run by Henry and his family. They keep 400 cattle and 1000 sheep.

John and Caroline live 26 milesaway at Sleeve Farm where they run a Stud Farm

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

They currently have 3 terriers, a Mioritic and a Bearded Collie.

All bar one are rescues and live with us at our other farm.

Keepers Cottage is ideal for dogs, couples and small families.

It is rural, quiet, secluded, private, peaceful and yet accessible. It is near to everywhere but next to no where.

Kids's can play and run free with the dogs in the enclosed exercise area and you can watch them from the balcony
.
Their is virtually no light pollution and no noise although you are right next to a working farm and there may be mooing and sometimes as in silage time machinery working late.

There are supermarkets in Wadebridge which is 3 miles away It is a busy, vibrant place. It has pubs, restaurants, takeaways which deliver, shops and supermarkets and loads of bike hire places on the Camel Trail.

The Coast is 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 kids body boarding at Polzeath where they can 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 and smart 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.

Cornwall is full of things to do whatever the weather.

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 provide a kennel for your use should you want to go somewhere without them (dogs not kids that is) but please don't leave them too long if they are not used to it.

Get them marrow bone from the butchers in Wadebridge.
