Lovely rural farm not too far from Helston which is very well supplied with supermarkets. Clean and tidy and well provided. Owner left cake, flowers and milk which was kind and appreciated. Lovely area, visited Seal Sanctuary and Pendennis Castle but weather was very changeable but you can't alter that.
