    We had a great week and were very well looked after by Loretta and Mark. ||This was our third Feather Down holiday. The tent was as magical as ever - cosy and candlelit. It held its own in a big storm one night, was totally watertight (if a little noisy!) and kept us dry as a bone.||The farm was lovely too - the kids especially loved feeding grass to Henry and Fred, the two goats, and helping Loretta to feed milk to the baby lambs in the evenings. There were cows, chickens and a very cute rabbit too. ||We booked the hot tub too, and want especially to thank Mark and Loretta for throwing more logs in its fire while we were out to heat it up for our return in the evening!||We did day trips to Looe (the kids loved crabbing and a boat trip with ‘pirate Dave’ to spot some seals), the Lost Gardens of Heligan (fun rope bridge, amazing play area), Eden Project (disappointing this time - overly busy and seemingly staffed by surly teens), Talland Bay (nice, great rock pools), and two excellent days body boarding at Polzeath (about an hour’s drive). ||Big recommend.

    Just returned from a lovely holiday here. Site is great and totally covid secure. Tent has its own ensuite bathroom within the tent and great hot shower. Owners were really helpful. Great place for kids to roam in the field as its totally flat so you can easily keep them in sight and there were a few toys for them to play with eg little tikes car and baby slide. I would totally recommend

    This is our last night at this lovely place, we could have stayed a lot longer! Everyone at the farm have made us feel so welcome and special. The tent is well kitted out and kids loved sleeping in their comfortable & cosy beds. It was amazing to see how farm life is. There are lovely day trips to do from here, so a super location to further explore from. And if you do not want to adventure out then the honesty shop is well stocked too! Thank you Loretta and Mark for making our stay so memorable!
