Stay at Trethake
My studio is now happily ensconced at Trethake on the south coast of Cornwall in a rural river valley is just 1-mile from the south west coast path. Known as the Cornish Riviera, the coastline here is one of Cornwall's best kept secrets, with rocky coves, sandy beaches, dense woodland and an emerald river estuary. Wildflowers, butterflies and birds thrive in the coastal meadows and dolphins, seals and porpoises can be spotted in the clear summer water.
The perfect Cornish retreat for an artist - Trethake Barn is a lovely large open plan living space with apex ceilings, flagstone floors and underfloor heating. Set in 7 acres of water meadows and woodland. Endless walking opportunities from the garden gate with footpaths, green lanes, bridle ways and coast paths.
