About Us - Rich and Hellen, Your Hosts at Trewena Cottages
Hi, we’re Rich and Hellen—the husband-and-wife team behind Trewena Cottages, our little slice of Cornish heaven on the edge of Falmouth.
It’s been our dream since we met to create a place where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the Cornwall we’ve fallen in love with. In February 2021, we took the plunge and traded our old life for three acres of Cornish countryside, rolling up our sleeves to transform this smallholding into Trewena Cottages—a collection of cosy one-bedroom cottages with easy access to all Cornwall has to offer.
Day to day, Rich is your host, handyman, gardener, cleaner, web designer, and jack-of-all-trades (and he’s got the muddy boots to prove it). Hellen, when she’s not busy at her full-time job at the university, pitches in wherever needed, from ironing to offering moral support during Rich’s latest hairbrained scheme. Together, we do everything to make Trewena feel like a true home away from home for you.
We live onsite and personally look after everything, so if you need anything during your stay—be it an extra blanket, tips on the best coastal walks, or advice on where to grab the freshest Cornish pasty—you only need to ask. For us, Trewena isn’t just a business; it’s our home, and we want it to feel like yours too during your stay.
Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we’re so excited to welcome you to Trewena and help you discover the beauty and magic of Cornwall.
