We specialise in providing leisurely and relaxing family holidays on our
Organic farm here in North Cornwall, together with the unique opportunity
of riding one or two of our collection of Classic British Motorcycles.
Enjoy country living, in style, in one of
our six delightful self-catering, barn conversions.
We aim to provide everything you could need
for a happy holiday. You will find the cottages have lots of beams and
Cornish slate floors, etc. with idyllic views across our fields to the
river. All the cottages have a parking area and either a garden or patio
- a place to have a barbeque or simply relax and enjoy country life. Children
love the outdoor heated swimming pool (May - October), the giant sandpit
and playing in the orchard, sitting on the swing just gazing at the clouds,
as well as meeting some of the farm animals of course.
Each barn has it's own character created by
a careful combination of the comforts of modern living with a smattering
of old or traditionally craftsman made fittings and furnishings for a
homely and welcoming atmosphere.

You may think it impossible to turn back the clock
and enjoy motorcycling as it used to be in the 1950s and 1960s -
but it is the experience we are offering here together with a delightful
and relaxing venue for a family holiday.

Your visit can be tailored to suit your ability and
experience. Complete novices will be able to handle, start and ride
pillion on all of our machines. For those with more experience,
but without a full motorcycle licence, short rides along a number
of private roads and around a disused airfield are available.
Fully experienced riders can choose from a variety
of accompanied tours of the area. Charges cover the cost of a tour
guide (John) and running costs (generally. £20 an hour). Proof of
your own insurance cover will be required. These tours generally
utilize the more robust single cylinder machines.
