We've been to Tregatta countless times over the years and always wanted to live in this house. Well we did and if we ever win the lottery we will be buying this house!!! I've no need to go into details, it's just an exceptional place to stay. Highly recommended.

The house was also excellent and plenty of room for 10 of us. The oven was a bit hit-and-miss as we struggled to get our heads around how to work it but this improved as the week went on. Apart from that, we had a very enjoyable stay at Penhallick.
