Welcome to Trereife House
A fine Manor House on the outskirts of Newlyn and Penzance, Cornwall
![]() |
Look a little further inland from Mount's Bay and, at the edge of Penzance, you'll find Trereife House. The neat parterres and terraces of a classic Cornish garden form the entrance to the historic house, The Le Grice family's horses graze the surrounding parkland and the rich blue of the bay can be glimpsed just beyond the woodland. A more romantic or elegant setting can hardly be imagined.
What we offer
The house and grounds offer the perfect facilities for a wedding, meeting, conference and film venue. We have staged opera, jazz and theatrical events. We also have our own art gallery with shows scheduled throughout the season.
