A note from Charlie Watson Smyth:



My parents moved to Tregirls in 1954, farming at that time 280 acres, until I took on the tenancy in 1980, adding Lellizzick Farm with its 280 acres in 1990, Trelowsa’s 200 acres in 1998, and the 480 acres at Trethillick and Crugmeer Farms in 2000.



Tregirls Farm remains very much a family enterprise, and we’re now in our fourth generation living here and working the land.



With 200 Suffolk and Mule Cross breeding ewes, almost 50 sows and weaners, and 60 head of Ruby Red Devon cattle, there’s always something productive for the incumbent three generations to get on with.



I’m extremely proud to say we’ve been farming under the Countryside Stewardship scheme for over 30 years, and that we’re a really diverse farm; with over 100 acres dedicated to growing barley for St Austell Brewery’s Tribute ale, 200 acres of cauliflower farmed on contract, 100 acres of barley for animal feed, and a further 300 acres of barley grown and harvested commercially.



And long may it continue, hopefully in the hands of my grandchildren who are already learning the ropes.



Padstow Farm Shop was opened in May 2006 and is located at Trethillick Farm, which is part of Tregirls Farm. Since its launch Padstow Farm Shop has gone from strength to strength providing an outlet for our own Tregirls Farm free range meat and seasonally grown veg whilst expanding its range of the best Cornish produce available. Not to mention whilst picking up a number awards along the way.



As well as traditionally reared Devon Ruby Red beef, Charolais-Suffolk-Mule cross lamb, Tamworth and Welsh White free range pork, there is a stock of seasonally-available homegrown vegetables, salads and herbs, as well as other seasonal products from local suppliers.



The store is full to the brim with Cornish products, which you may think would limit our offering. However Cornwall is now home to an incredibly diverse range of artisan and small holding producers providing the broadest range of Cornish produced goodies like the large range of delicious Cornish cheeses and extensive selection of the best locally produced gins, sparkling wines, beers and ciders.



The farm shop has grown organically over the years, and the next natural step was always our own delicatessen which opened in 2018. Click here for the full story . 



Tregirls self-catering holiday cottages offer a choice of three dog friendly properties with either a seaside & countryside or town location.



They are very popular all year round as there is so much to do in the Padstow area, come rain or shine. Whether you enjoy the stunning beaches, the breathtaking walks, cycling, bird watching, golf, horse riding, fishing, visiting attractions & gardens or simply relaxing in one of the many excellent pubs & restaurants nearby.

In addition to the self catering cottages you can stay at Lellizzick B&B, a beautiful Elizabethan Cornish farmhouse perched above the stunning white sands of Tregirls Beach on the Camel Estuary. Lellizzick Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast is the perfect retreat, tucked away in a timeless corner of North Cornwall and yet only a 5 minute drive from the foodie heaven of Padstow
