Trevaccoon has five double bedrooms, each with their own bathroom en suite and wonderful sea views. The bedrooms are named after local beaches and bays. The décor in the bedrooms, and throughout the house, has been carefully chosen to echo the wonderful west coast light and its reflection on sea and countryside.
Traeth Llyfn and Whitesands,
on the first floor, are very spacious rooms with King Size double beds and light and airy bathrooms. The bathrooms in all the rooms have small, old stained glass windows set into the walls. Both rooms have lovely views over the sea.
These two rooms also have day bed/sofas, which can accommodate a child if needed.
Abereiddy is a lovely twin bedded room with a view over Porthgain and Abereiddy Bay. All the bathrooms are simply but tastefully fitted with white units, steel enamel baths and bath/shower mixers.
Strumble, also on the first floor, is a smaller double room with a view (as you might expect) north towards Strumble Head and its lighthouse. Strumble has its own small bathroom with a Mira shower.
Porthgain is the only bedroom on the ground floor. Because of its position and the ease of access to dining room, drawing room, car park, etc., we have taken care to make this room particularly attractive and convenient for the elderly or less able. The doors into the room and bathroom are wide enough to take a standard wheelchair. The custom made twin beds are an easy height from the ground, as are all switches and sockets. The bathroom has a sliding door, with a walk in (or wheel in) shower and optional shower seat.
All the bedrooms have remote controlled colour television sets and well-stocked trays with tea and coffee making facilities. You will also find white towelling dressing gowns, for your comfort whilst staying at Trevaccoon.
The dining room on the ground floor is spacious and light with views over the lawns to the sea. It has a log-burning stove, which is lit for extra comfort on colder mornings in autumn and winter, although the whole house has the benefit of an extremely efficient new central heating system.
As breakfast is the only meal we offer, we like to make it both a satisfying and enjoyable experience. We serve fresh fruit and local produce according to the season, and can cater for all dietary needs and tastes. If the appetite is up to it, we suggest a full cooked Welsh breakfast, which is guaranteed to set you up for a day of walking or exploring.
Breakfast times are flexible to cater both for early risers and those who like to linger a little longer in their beds.
The drawing room, also on the ground floor, is grand and extremely comfortable. It is furnished with a huge 5 seater sofa and snug reading chairs, with reading lights and ceramic table lamps made by Caroline Flynn. There is an open log-burning fire.
As all the bedrooms have their own colour television sets, the drawing room is a quiet room, a place to snuggle up with a good book in front of a roaring fire on a wet morning or a winter evening. A place to write a letter, or play chess, scrabble or cards.
The large sash windows give wonderful light, and the room is decorated in peaceful heritage colours.
There is a guests kitchenette opposite the drawing room with a kettle and small fridge. It is a convenient place to make a cup of tea for yourself or a visitor if you are using the drawing room.
Where possible we have tried to restore and give new life to the original features of this grand old Mansion. Wide, pitch pine floorboards have been stripped back and waxed. Large sash windows (also pitch pine ) have been stripped, carefully restored and brought back to working order. Many panes of original Georgian glass have survived. The ornate cornicing and Georgian shutters have been lovingly restored. The huge
arched window on the first floor landing, and its fluted surround, have been brought back to life.
The unique vaulted ceilings, upstairs and down, and their detail, have been restored and decorated to look their best. Curtains, furnishings, rugs, carpets and décor, have been carefully blended to produce an ambience of light and space, while complementing the period and style of the mansion.
Trevaccoon has been completely re-roofed with new slate, and specialist craftsmen have replaced lead detail on valleys and ridges to conservation standards. Original timber details below the eaves have also been replaced.
On the seaward side of the house is a large lawn area where you can play a mean game of Trevaccoon croquet, or simply sit and enjoy the view with a cold drink or a cup of tea.
On the other side, to the east, is a wooded area which is a delight to walk through, especially in spring when it explodes with wildflowers. The woodland walk goes round a unique walled garden which we hope will be part of our next planned rescue mission.
Trevaccoon is a no smoking house, and does not accommodate pets. However, we have one self-catering cottage which can take a maximum of two well behaved dogs by prior arrangement.
