- Notes
Trevassack is a magical, peaceful smallholding set between Garras and Goonhilly downs. We are opposite Trevassack Lake. On the farm we have a range of animals; Chickens, sheep, pigs, horses and dogs. The house itself is a traditional farm house which offers a good sized space for indoor play and activities. Our immediate outdoor space consists of an all weather patio (for bike/trike/ride on driving, sandpit and other activities) and secured/enclosed grass garden (which offers slides/swings/activity tables) and soon to be a big climbing area. We have a beautiful growing/allotment area and we encourage children to grow and learn about how we get our food.
