Farm Stays In Cornwall

If you are planning a holiday or short break in Cornwall, you need to ask yourself whether you should book somewhere “normal” or break the mould and stay on a working farm.

Most people who live in a hectic urban environment find that a few days spent on a working farm adds a totally new dimension to a holiday and the great thing is that it doesn’t cost any more than staying in traditional accommodation.

It is difficult to describe the pleasure of waking up to the bleating of lambs, the mooing of cows and all the bustle of life on an active farm. While adults will find this a soothing alternative to the sound of the local bus or dust cart driving past, children will find the experience highly educational and so enjoyable that the memories will endure for the rest of their lives. And, we haven’t even mentioned the quality of the food yet !

The beauty of farm stays in Cornwall is that, because of the county’s long and narrow layout, you are never very far from the coast even if you are not actually on it. Also, after tourism, agriculture is the county’s largest industry so there is an abundance of farms from which to choose if you are looking for B&B, self catering or a camping / caravan site.

One of the best selections can be found at www.cartwheel.org.uk. They have been working in the holiday accommodation field for donkeys’ years and, being locally based, they are totally familiar with the best of farm accommodation in the area. The site contains comprehensive details and photographs of a wide selection of farm based holiday locations in Cornwall and should be as far as you need to go.
