Brilliant and free! My 7 year old loved the pumpkin quiz and the toy section. The wedding dresses and old medicines were also great. We had a lovely morning looking around and the staff were lovely and friendly too. A huge plus was that it is dog friendly.

We visited on a quiet winters morning, parked in the national trust car park. It was a lovely walk down the hill to the lake, the stables were closed as it is out of season, yet we had some sandwiches with us and found a beautiful spot with a bench overlooking the lake, so peaceful and great for watching all the wildlife on the lake, could have spent hours there, will definitely return for another visit

We also produce a range of jams and chutneys using old family recipes that have been handed down the generations. Our Farm and Café, the Croust House, is open all year round serving meals every day from breakfast, fresh salads to clay oven baked pizzas’ and American style smoked meats (summer months only). You can visit and feed all the farm animals: calves, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, geese & ducks. You can also go for a stroll around the ponds and withy woods and watch the milking at 10.00am

You get to see a working farm, watch milking and sample the product in the firm of ice cream- what more can you ask for! Chickens? Geese? Turkeys? Goats? Pigs? Yes they have them too and a lovely walk (bring wellies if it’s been raining!)

Mawgan Porth Beach

Reviewed By places2seeplaces2go - England, United Kingdom

Spent a week in North Cornwall in October2020 & just catching up with reviews. This was probably my favourite beach whilst on holiday in North Cornwall. Quite what makes a favourite I'm not sure as they are all stunning. At Morgan Porth on a sunny October day it was not busy, the tide was out & we walked for over an hour just exploring the beach & all the rock pools. As it was October it was easy to park. Like with many other cornish beaches I'm sure in the summer months things are completely different. Parking available & a few places to purchase food & drinks. Toilet facilities available. A really enjoyable few hours. Dog friendly when we visited in October.
