Trefusis Barton is a 400-acre working dairy and arable farm overlooking the beautiful Fal Estuary. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty it is part of a small, private, historic estate between the yachtsman's paradise of Mylor Harbour and the picturesque village of Flushing.

Although the farm is set in a very quiet location Falmouth is less than ten minutes away by car and the ancient town of Penryn - the site of Cornwall's new university - is even closer.

From various points on the farm the panoramic views of the sea are spectacular. Guests are welcome to enjoy the private woodland path wich leads down to the water's edge at Trefusis Point. Here there are breath-taking views stretching from Falmouth to St Mawes and beyond. This is a popular spot for anglers and there is a small beach where you can relax and watch the sailing. From here it is just a short stroll to the heart of Flushing Village or you can follow the coastal path around to Mylor Harbour.

Guests are welcome to borrow Wellington boots from the porch at the front door.

Each light and spacious bedroom is equipped with a colour television, tea/coffee making tray, hot water bottles and hair dryers. The centrally heated rooms have en-suite power showers, basins, WCs and shaver points.

If sailors have any wet gear please give it to Jessica who will endeavour to dry it in time for the next day's sailing.

Please note that this is a non-smoking house.

A substantial farmhouse breakfast is served. Guests are welcome to help themselves to orange juice, cereals and fruit. Hot food is cooked to order on the Aga and can include poached, scrambled, boiled or fried free-range eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, tea and coffee. If there is anything else you might prefer please ask, as it may be available.

From £80 per night for two people sharing a double/twin.

A passenger ferry operates from Flushing to Falmouth - the home of the National Maritime Museum - every half-hour during the summer months and hourly in the winter - there is no ferry at lunchtime or in the evening. From Falmouth further ferries run regularly to St Mawes, and Truro. During the summer it is also possible to use the Mylor Shuttle Ferry to Falmouth. A bus service operates every day, except Sunday, from the end of the farm drive to Truro.

There is a variety of pubs and restaurants in the locality, many serving seafood and steaks as specialities.
