Spotlight: a fab toddler friendly farm stay near Padstow Cornwall.

Fab toddler friendly farm stay near Padstow Cornwall

This working farm is located in a fabulous location in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to Padstow and near north Cornwall’s beautiful sandy beaches and family friendly attractions. It is a little smaller than some other toddler friendly farm stays in the area, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in personality and location! For cuddle time there are usually enough guinea pigs to go round and those less confident children soon get into the swing of things, and by the end of the stay are usually first in line to join in the with daily animal feeding and petting.
