Pendeen village has a general stores and Post office and there are four local pubs serving food. Three of these, as well as the Meadery and takeaway fish and chips, are within five minutes drive or a 20 minute walk down the hill.The small town of St Just is about 3 miles away which has shops including two butchers, a bakery and art galleries. Penzance is 7 miles away for more shops (including two supermarkets), art galleries and restaurants. Portherras Cove is a small beach about two miles from the cottage. There are steps down to the beach but no disabled or wheelchair access and it has no public facilities. Marazion, next to Penzance, has a beach much used for wind surfing and a low tide causeway to St. Michael's Mount (N.T.); access by taxi boat at other times.

There is surfing at Sennen (approx 7 miles), walks in all directions along the S.W. coast path, and riding at St Just. Geevor Mine (Pendeen village) and Zennor Wayside Museum (7 miles) show Cornish history; St Ives (13 miles along the beautiful north coast road) has galleries including the Tate, the Hepworth museum and the Leach pottery. Porthcurno has an excellent beach with all facilities, as well as the Minack outdoor theatre and the Cable & Wireless Telegraph museum. Penzance has Trengwainton (N.T.), Morrab and Penlee gardens, the latter also housing a collection of work from the Lamorna and Newlyn artists in Penlee House.

St Just-in-Penwith, once the centre of the tin mining industry in this area, is the westerly most town in Cornwall, last stop before Lands End. Geevor Tin Mine was the last to close in 1991 and reopened in 1993 as a Museum and Heritage Centre. At Lands End, the most South Westerly point of mainland Britain, sits many a tourist attraction. If you're lucky, of a clear evening, you will be able to see the stunning Isles of Scilly on the horizon.

From nearby Penzance you can take the Scillonian for a day trip to the picturesque Isles of Scilly, well worth a visit if you have never been. Slightly further afield is Marazion famous for St Michaels Mount, home to a medieval castle and a working local community. St Michaels Mount is accessible by causeway at low tides, or by boat. The castle is leased from the National Trust by the St Aubyn family who reside at the property maintaining and working the grounds. Mousehole is renowned for their Christmas Lights display attracting many visitors throughout December. The Tate, St Ives a short drive away combined with the Barbara Hepworth Museum provide a benchmark for local galleries and artists, attracting many visitors to the area throughout the seasons.

We can't recommend Higher Trewellard Hill Farm highly enough. The accommodation is very cosy and comfortable and the owners have really gone the extra mile in making things homely. The views are superb, we had use of a lovely garden and even managed to eat in it a couple of times! We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and have never been to one where there was tea, coffee, milk, and a lovely bottle of wine in the kitchen for us and a cream tea on the table ready for our arrival! Even the fire had been set ready. So many thanks to the owners and we hope to return soon.

Thank you for making us so welcome. The cream tea started our holiday off brilliantly, cheering us up after quite a long drive down. You were both so helpful with pointers to local eateries - we did sample the curry in the North Inn on Thursday night.

We would recommend your cottage and certainly consider saying here again. It's ideally placed for sightseeing but the local area is so nice for a relaxing meal and drink and very friendly.

The cottage itself and gardens are beautiful looked after and very quaint - perfect for what we needed.

For future reference we recommend the Blue Snappa restaurant/bar in Penzance, if you like a varied meal with local seafood and old favourites to suit everyone. We had beautiful sunny days at Lands End and Lizard Point and enjoyed taking the coast road around to St Ives.

Thank you so much for having us.

How fortunate we are, on our first ever visit to Cornwall, to have stayed here. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into making it comfortable and welcoming.

The weather has not been kind but we did a fair bit of walking, particularly enjoying browsing the coast at Geevor Mine, doing some of the coastal path. Visited Sennen beach - beautiful - on our only proper sunny day. Lands End - a bit of a disappointment. St Michael's Mount we enjoyed.

Great to have lots of footpaths and places to wander.

The cream tea set us for the week and we even had a BBQ on our sunny day.

The past week has gone far too quickly and we're very sorry to have to leave. To be greeted with a cream tea and an organic bottle of wine was just what the doctor ordered after a long drive (T'was a damp and misty night but luckily no sign of werewolves, just many rabbits), Superb attention to detail in the cottage, we loved the woodburner and the bed best. Came looking for some good surfing waves but they eluded us a bit, although the weather more than made up for it.

Popped to the Minack one night, looks as good as ever, great views from our granite seats.

Used the BBQ and gardens on our last night and wished we used them before. The walled garden feels like a haven and clearly the birds like it too, nively set out and locally sympathetically planted. Thank you David and Victoria.

Warren and Silke, Chepstow, Wales, Jun 2011

With the skies in turmoil in Spring because of a certain volcano, my boyfriend and I decided we would like to do a Cornwall Cottage holiday. The last time we visited Cornwall we went to the South near St Michaels Mount and we had in particular enjoyed visiting Lands End. For that very reason, this year we sought a cottage which was near this Westerly point. After many weeks of searching, we found Higher Trewellard Farm, the only place in the far West which looked like a decent size, in a decent location for a decent price. Something which is difficult to come by especially when it is the Bank Holiday weekend.

Before we went on holiday we were already contacted by David who wanted to know if there was anything we would require upon arrival, short of a bit of milk and a few tea bags there wasn't a huge amount. However this was a lovely touch and was just the beginning of them showing us how much they cared about their guests. Upon arrival, which turned out to be very late after some bad traffic we were greeted by David Victoria and were given a grand tour of the cottage. Despite us all being very tired, they took a decent amount of time to make sure we knew where everything was and that we would be comfortable for the night. In the morning we found some pretty tasty scones, clotted cream and jam on the table waiting for us from last night, and we made short work of them at breakfast time.

In the morning we were shown around our private (well kept) garden in front of the cottage which came complete with a BBQ and patio set if we so wished. Unfortunately with the weather unsettled we never did get the opportunity to use it. We were also given a three page document with all the information you could ever need about the area and the cottage itself.

The cottage itself was a decent size, clean, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked for pretty much anything you can think of and the bathroom and shower were so nice we actually wanted to take them home. Internet access was available and just required a passcode which we were given very promptly and there were a wide range of books, DVD's, videos and games for visitors stuck for something to do.

As a couple the location was perfect for us, set up on hills it was quiet and picturesque with plenty of countryside to go walking and for those dedicated enough, a small untouched beach in a cove a couple of miles away reachable only by foot. In the mornings you will either see lots of fog from the master bedroom window or a beautiful view where you will see all the way to the sea In the nearby town which is easily within walking distance you will find pubs/restaurants and a few shops including a fish and chip shop. We would recommend although checking the times as we did find that a lot of places closed early. One tip – don't rely on your sat-nav for Cornwall, if you do you will more than likely end up on some very tiny and scary roads!

David and Victoria are extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating people and we would happily recommend this property to any one looking for a cottage in Cornwall.
