We visited Trebah last week whilst on holiday in Cornwall, based on the recommendations on Trip Advisor. I'm so glad we went, my husband and I loved it. There's a big car park, a well thought-out visitor centre with gift shop, garden shop, toilets and restaurant. On arrival, you are greeted by a friendly lady who gives you a free... More

Love Trebah gardens, love the wildness of the planting, love the tiny beach at the very very bottom, the children's trails, the cafe and plant shop all get 10/10 from me. Only thing is - if you are frail or not too good on your feet it is a steep walk down the valley, and therefore a steep uphill return... More

Trebah is a lovely place to wander around completely lost in bird sound & natural surroundings. True is not a neatly, manicured garden but its as gardens were years ago. A place of adventure & discovery. What plants lie beneath the trees or are sprouting out of the bog garden?. Birds & butterfies evreywhere. Its a garden to relish, while... More

This place is amazing. Subtropical gardens, water garden, beach, great cream tea. I would go back again,this time with the dog. Tickets are good for a week. BEWARE - the satnav may try to take you on some very scary single track roads with few passing places so check the map first for the best route here. More

There is nothing bad to say about this jewel of a place. Staff are tremendously helpful and friendly. Gardens are spectacular gently leading you to a delightful beach. For children a brill adventure play ground. We also did a bug trial which our 5 year old loved. Fab fab fab!! More

. . . . presumably for the convenience of visitors on a Bank Holiday weekend! So we went "next door" to Trebah. The gardens were beautiful in their spring glory. Each time I visit I am amazed by the gunnera! - and also brought up short by the memorial to the D-Day troops who embarked from here. More
