Blackberry Lodge, Trevalgas, Bude, Cornwall: Gallery of Garden Photos

Please close this window to return to the Blackberry Lodge Page

Blackberry has a private landscaped garden, with a lower area with BBQ by the cottage, and higher lawned area at the rear of the garden. Originally, when Trevalgas was a working farm, the Manor was the farmhouse, but later the farm buildings were turned into self catering cottages, and each was sold.  The communal areas, and Blackberry's private garden are tended all year and are full of colour. A common comment from our guests is how much they appreciated the gardens at Trevalgas.

Blackberry is a modern addition to the small complex at Trevalgas. 

Blackberry's rear garden is on two levels, with the higher level backing onto the large play field. There is a gate at the rear to allow children to go over to the adventure play area while adults can relax in the garden and keep a eye on them from a distance!

Gates have been fitted to the paths on both sides of the cottage, and the gardens are now enclosed with toddler proof fences,  and so that you can relax in the garden with a drink, and not worry about your toddlers escaping around the front of the cottage!

The higher lawned area has several herbaceous borders full of flowers for much of the year, from spring bulbs and polyanthus through lilac, hebes, flaming red crocosmia, Japanese anemones and winter flowering heathers.

Behind the garden, through the gate and just into the meadow is a series of further borders, full of flowers, to tempt you to wander through them over to the children's play area on the far side.

At the front of Blackberry is a large sunny terrace overlooking the Trevalgas Cottages complex, and over the surrounding countryside. There are tubs, troughs and borders providing a colourful place to sit on the bench and enjoy a morning coffee in the sun.

This area just opposite the Games room is full of flowerbeds and colourful most of the year, thanks to the mild Cornish climate and protection from the surrounding trees.

While much of the Trevalgas Cottages site is modern, it’s on the site of an old manor house, with some building conversions.  This gate is in an old wall next to the car park.
