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.

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.

A stunning part of Cornwall to explore and enjoy. The National Trust care for the unique habitats found here, including Loe Pool the largest natural lake in Cornwall and the unusual shingle bank of Loe Bar. The rangers hold regular events and activities for all the family to enjoy. Stop off at The Stables Cafe, which is open every day through the summer and on weekends in winter, for delicious cake, coffee and light lunches.
We parked at Degibna NT car park and walked with the dogs around the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall. It was a comfortable walk and the dogs loved it. When we got to Loe bar the view was stunning. Lake on one side and the sea on the other. Other people’s dogs were swimming safely in the lake, ours had a paddle. We had a lunch break here and it made a perfect day. On the way back next to the car park there is a small chapel with a prayer garden which draws you in. Don’t pass this by as it’s a moment of thought you can have . Highly recommended this walk. Wear sensible shoes, take water etc and you will enjoy the day. It’s 2020 so single file when passing others or move to one side if necessary. Have a good day

Lovely village and beach, love this place ... it has a hipster surfer vibe which is is a complementary contrast to the local area ... though hopefully doesn't go to far in future. The Ship is a great vantage point to watch the world go buy. The beach is also long (and on a pleasant September day) not too crowded.
