One of the highlights of visiting Trereife must be the guided tour, carried our by present owner Tim Le Grice. Tim’s extensive knowledge of the history of the house and the families that have lived there is fascinating and this, coupled with a number of humourous anecdotes, results in a truly engaging hour! Ranging from our recent experience on Channel 4′s Country House Rescue to Charles Valentine Le Grice and The Romantic Poet’s, this really is an opportunity not to be missed.The tour starts in the entrance hall with a talk about how the Le Grices arrived at Treriefe and then guests are lead round various rooms in the house finishing up in the old library which houses a vast array of beautiful old books and family logs.

While waiting for the tour to commence why not explore the beautiful gardens at Trereife or simply enjoy sitting looking out at the sea in the distance in the old walled garden which catches perfectly the summer sun. Trereife’s cafe will be serving a wonderful selection of light lunches and homemade cakes before or after your tour. On a sunny day you can enjoy your refreshments at the tables in the courtyard.
