Tregrehan Garden cottages are open all year round. They are the ideal base for plantsmen and women from February onwards when the Cornish Gardens come into their peak. Tregrehan Garden is a dramatic woodland garden created over the last 200 years by the Carlyon family, forming an exotic green gene bank of known source plants in a temperate rain forest. Within tower some two dozen trees recorded as the biggest of their type in the country. Veteran trees in the 100ha parkland date from the first half of the 17th century. An extensive 128ft glasshouse built in 1844 shelters a fine plant range in the more formal walled garden area. Tregrehan Garden is a garden of recognised merit within a grade II star listed landscape. The garden is free to guests during hours of opening to the public and at other times as arranged when guests have particular interest.

About the owner
Tregrehan Estate is part of the Carlyon family heritage which Tom Hudson, a descendant from New Zealand, came to manage over 20 years ago. Tom has a tremendous knowledge of woody plants and has continued the creation of Tregrehan Garden recognised internationally for its collection of trees beginning from Veitch's seed in the mid 19th Century. I am Jo, Tom's wife. Together we manage the holiday cottages on the estate and do our best to blend the comforts of modern living within the bounds of heritage buildings in the style they deserve! Tregrehan Estate is an extraordinary place and we do our best to avoid any commercialisation and to allow people who love this environment to enjoy it as it should be, in peace.
