Favourite pubs with a traditional feel.
The Falcon Inn is a traditional 16th-century freehouse inn and it is a "proper" pub. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere when you arrive and we have a selection of real ales available together with a large selection of wines and whiskies. Its two miles from the farm, so within walking distance.

We love going to this beach as its absolutely stunning, quiet as the car park is small and it has a great little cafe. My children love going when its low tide as there is a natural pool called the horse pool.

We love going to the hangout as it’s serves fantastic sourdough toasties, coffee and smoothies. It also has the most amazing view over Watergate Bay and the girls are so friendly. It’s very rustic and we have even sat in the field to eat lunch but that’s part of its charm.

On the Path towards Mawgan Porth. It’s so off the beaten track I couldn’t find a listing for it. We walk here on a regular basis as they serve the most delicious bacon ciabattas and real kick start coffee. We also love the little dog who is in charge of everything, someone has to keep Jason in check. Donna and Jason are lovely and they always have a story to tell.

Absolutely beautiful place to go with younger children or an older mum or dad. We spend hours here, eating lavish cream teas and wondering around the beautiful shop and gardens. It’s owned by Prince Charles and it’s a very special place. There is a lovely gentle walk to Restormel Castle.

I have seen these guys going out a few times, I would say they are not for the faint hearted as they go really fast. They go from the beautiful Lusty Glacé beach which is perfect for a nice relaxing drink while the other half goes crazy on a jet ski.
