Victor Barry has been a professional family dairy & mixed farmer since leaving Newton Rigg Agricultural College, Penrith in 1952. His whole life has been spent in agriculture, dairying and training students until arriving in Cornwall in 1967 from then on visitors have always been a part of the farm scene for him. His arrival in the Roseland in January 1994 signalled the start of pursuing his passion for sailing.

Having seen the beauty and opportunity of the old ‘Time Warp' awaiting them at Treloan Farm, Victor, Luisa and Patricia decided to wait for 3 years, temporarily living in a chalet, until finally being rewarded by being granted the tenancy by Lord Falmouth, Tregothnan Estate in February 1998. They immediately began to put the farming clock back for the 30's and 40's on this “Nature's Way” farm and are now ready to start taking students again, working with the “Duchy College”, Stoke Climesland in offering NVQ courses in Working Horses, Small Holding and affiliated subjects.

Victor is well used to the touring business, having had a summer campsite for 20 years on his farm at Rejerrah, Newquay.

Whilst spending a short spell in Portugal, working with agriculture, Victor met and married his lovely wife Luisa, who was born in the Algarve. Their daughter Patricia was born in Lisbon in 1989 and later that year the family moved back to England.

Luisa's Portuguese soup and other authentic dishes are famous among those who have visited Treloan. Grandmother (Avo in Portuguese) Da Julia is often to be seen enjoying the sun and views from the reception area as well as making Portuguese dishes.

It is the family's delight and privilege to be able to share the unique and wonderful Treloan experience with all who appreciate it. Locals as well as visitors know that they are welcome to, and do, come and share on a regular basis with their pets that which is Treloan.
