Escape to a simpler life with Sue and Ivor

The location of Treganhoe for a farm stay holiday is hard to beat, on the Penwith peninsula close to Lands End, the ideal spot for a family holiday in Penzance. It's a quiet location with stunning views. You will be staying with your friendly hosts Ivor, Sue, their son Mark and their daughter Ali, whose family have been farming the land here for the past 100 years. Treganhoe is a livestock and mixed farm that works closely with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. The rest of their animals, the sheep, pigs and goats (new for 2024!), you will find in the paddock close to your canvas hideaway.

Coast to coast

Each morning there's a decision to make - shall we head to a beautiful beach to the north or a beautiful beach to the south? Don’t worry, both are less than half an hour's drive away. Evocative Cornish names are close by like Marazion, Sennen Cove and Porthcurno beaches, awaiting you for wild swimming, paddle-boarding, surfing or just sandcastle building. The picture postcard pretty St Ives is close by as are Penzance, the iconic St Michaels Mount and the stunning outdoor Minack Theatre. There couldn't be a better base for a family holiday in Penzance or wider Cornwall.

If walking is your thing then stride across the moors like the cast of Poldark (much of it was filmed nearby) and take in the abandoned tin mines and Neolithic monuments like Lanyon Quoit and Men an Tol. Fine dining and excellent pubs are in abundance, as local food and drink are at the forefront in Cornish cuisine.

What to do at Treganhoe Farm

Since Treganhoe is a working farm, there is always something happening here. Wake up from your comfy beds in the morning with a freshly baked croissant from the honesty shop then give the farmers a hand feeding the sheep, pigs and goats - they love your attention. New arrivals for 2024 are Duke and Hazzard, two cute pygmy goats who can't wait to welcome you to the farm.

You can enjoy the Cornish sunset whilst eating home cooked food from the honesty shop or local produce cooked over your campfire or BBQ, the perfect end to a busy day.

Pizza oven 2

Highlight

Pizza night

The farmer will sometimes fire up the pizza oven during your stay. Everyone gathers round to tell their stories of the day’s adventures and invent pizza toppings you’ll never find on the high street

Ask the farmer

The farmer will be delighted to tell you more about farm life at any time, or you can take the chance to discuss farm life while feeding the lambs, goats and piglets twice a day.

Highlight

The farm shop

It’s great for the basics and usually even better for local produce and low food miles. And every Feather Down farm shop operates on an honesty basis.
