The settlement and manor of Galowras is first mentioned in the Doomsday survey of 1086. The name Galowras is derived from the Cornish ‘glow’ meaning bright and ‘red’ meaning watercourse. The farm is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty and has been in the ownership of the Tregaskes family since 1920. Over the years the family have resisted the pressure to farm intensively and as a result the original field patterns with medieval or prehistoric origins remain.

Situated in a South-facing valley the 95-acre farm includes ancient woodlands, beautiful wild flower pasture meadows and boasts breathtaking views towards the coast. Traditional farming practices have nurtured wildlife at Galowras and there is an abundance of plant and animal life for visitors to enjoy. Galowras is truly a paradise for walkers and birdwatchers and offers a haven for those who simply want to escape to peace and seclusion. A self guided nature trail takes visitors on a ramble through parts of the farm and your hosts are on hand should you wish to explore further or require any local information.

Galowras is a cherished family home steeped in History. It is a place with a very special spirit which we would like to share with you. However, as we only have the one cottage you won’t have to share your escape with anyone else!
