Treloquithack Farmhouse is a real Cornish granite longhouse which has graced the hillside above the Helford River since 1560 and probably before then.
It is the oldest house in the area and contains a number of fascinating architectural features, most notable of which are the two "cloam" ovens in the kitchen and the wealth of exposed granite and beams throughout the house.
Pronounced Trelo as in "Hello" and quithack as in "my back", the house exudes hospitality and warmth, wholesomeness and serenity. Well that's how we like to see it. Let us know what you feel.

Directions
Once through Truro, you head out towards Falmouth on the A39, but you bypass the Town, and then Helston on the A394.
This section of the road is about 8 miles long - NB watch out for two speed cameras.
Approximately 2 miles from Helston you will come to a settlement called Manhay.
Just before the Jet garage on your left, turn left signposted to Gweek.
About half a mile on you will see a cream farmhouse in front of you with a Victorian post box embedded in the wall.
This is Treloquithack Farmhouse. NB - there is a Treloquithack Farm which you will pass on your left about 30 metres before you come to the old house- this was built by the family to house sons and daughters!
There are two entrances (wooden gates) please use the one on the left.
