Our Story at Trenance Farm

Cornwall has welcomed visitors for a very long time – we are carrying on that tradition. 

When we returned from Malaysia with our children, we knew we wanted to make a homebase for travellers who’ve come to appreciate Cornwall as much as we do, so we decided we would take over the family self-catering business, first in Polurrian and Fowey, before setting up in Mullion on the Lizard Peninsula in the 1980s. 

Three generations of our family worked together, and with sheer hard work, dedication, and a bit of elbow grease, the old farm outbuildings are now comfortable holiday cottages situated around the old farmyard and granite Cornish farmhouse. We felt that the cottages should retain the original granite facing stones and thick stone walls for that proud, Cornish authenticity. We also transformed our 13 acres of land into a wonderful display of mature gardens and lots of space – ideal for families and dog lovers; or just for someone who wants to get away from the busy day-to-day life.

We love the Lizard Peninsula, with its relaxing pace - even in the height of the season you can be a million miles from the hustle and bustle of life.  We believe that the best holiday parks provide you with great service, great value for money and a memorable holiday experience, and we do all these at once. So, whether you are looking for a family holiday, a walking holiday, or somewhere to simply relax, allow us to be your homebase for your adventure around the Lizard Peninsula. With four decades of experience and 3 generations of our family, you can expect friendly service, clean and tidy accommodation, and a refreshing break away from the noise of life.

Psst, did you know that our top field at Trenance Farm holds the UK record for the tallest kale crop? Coming in at 12ft tall, the crop was grown by B T Newton in 1950 whilst he was farming here at Trenance Farm.
