We visit the Lizard regularly to stay with family and trips would not be complete without visiting Roskilly's Farm once or twice. Lovely walks around extensive ponds, woodland and the coastal paths and a working organic dairy farm. Children love seeing the cows being milked - followed by the Roskilly family's homemade ice cream made from the aforementioned Jersey cows.

The Croust House is their lovely cafe with wholesome food (meringue glace with homemade clotted cream, you can't beat it). We even stayed in one of their holiday cottages for a week one year, homely, comfy and very friendly. Also enjoy the Roskilly (grown-up) children's creative work in the furniture and stained glass that abound. Oh, and you can buy a little book on how to make clotted cream.

The Landmark Trust holiday cottage in Frenchman's Creek is a real gem. It sleeps four and is a two-bedroomed 19th century stone cottage nestled in a deep glade.

The outside world really does disappear, surrounded as you are by deep woods where the only sounds are birds, creatures and running water. It's my very own Lothlorien!

Landmark Trust properties are not that cheap but not overpriced either - for what you get, it's well worth the money. The surrounding views of the Helford River are very uplifting (there's even a shipwreck!).

Almost a day out in itself! My favourite part is the ice cream parlour with its long list of flavours, plus frozen yoghurt. I also recommend the restaurant and the farm-made juices, pickles, mustards etc. There's plenty for children to see, with wildlife watching, ponds and milking. Self catering on site, and the whole place is organic!
