Free-range Kids

For most urban parents, the idea of allowing your children out into the street to play with their friends is an option that disappeared along with free school milk and the three day week. However at Mayrose Farm free-range kids are the norm. Here you can live the idyll not just of a pretty Cornish hamlet but one of 30 years ago.

While parents relax and enjoy the calm of one of our six pretty stone cottages their children can make friends and play outside the old fashioned way. Remember the joy of knocking for your pals? The sense of liberation as you wandered from house to house to your own timetable? Remember fishing for tadpoles and building a den? All still possible for the free-range kids at Mayrose Farm.

Children of all ages love feeding the ducks and lambs, exploring the farm or having a good old kick-about with jumpers for goalposts. Long-lasting friendships form in the fresh air and children sleep soundly; sun-kissed, wind-blown and content.
