This is a must visit gift shop! We visit several times every time we are on holiday in Cornwall. During covid lockdowns, I have also bought from them through their Facebook/Instagram pages. Nothing is too much effort for this team and they send over details of any products you are interested in, always replying promptly and once items are purchased, they are always received within days in the post. The glass artwork is absolutely stunning, and obviously the glass ‘Bob’! Well done and thank you for adapting your business during covid so that we can still purchase your items for special celebration gifts from the other end of the country!

We stayed in Avellan, a large, converted barn at Kestle Barton, which was perfect for a peaceful, off-the-beaten-tourist-track family holiday. The ancient farmhouse and its surrounding buildings have been beautifully and luxuriously converted to boast all modern facilities, while still retaining their charm. The setting is simply gorgeous, down narrow, winding Cornish lanes with hedgerows bursting with wildflowers, and from here there is an easy, circular walk to take in the Helford Valley, Fisherman's Creek (made famous by Daphne du Maurier in her novel of the same name) and the pretty, sleepy hamlet of Helford with its excellent pub, the Shipwrights Arms. There is a pedestrian ferry across the Helford river to walks along the opposite headland and explore gardens, much of this owned by the National Trust. Proceeds from the holiday accommodation at Kestle Barton support the upkeep of the art gallery initiative, and there is a lovely informal garden and wildflower meadow which are open to the public and provide a perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and cake or an ice cream. We would definitely love to return here.
