Life at Callestock revolves around the countryside, the wildlife, and the weather. This time of year is fantastic for the animals - there's a feast of crunchy green grass for the cows, the trees and bushes are heavy with berries for the wild birds, and Sandy loves helping me pick the fresh veg from the patch in the garden.
We've had some pretty dramatic storms already this year, producing incredible waves. But the power of nature can't be overstated - stay safe and watch the ever-changing seas from the comfort of a warm pub, with a hot chocolate and a slice of something naughty.

Photography treasure hunts are such fun, whatever your age. They're great for bonding and making memories as a family. Normally they feature a checklist of items to photograph on a day out - perhaps "a relaxing place", "the biggest tree", "something round", etc.... But we wanted to give you more than a list of random items....
The dry weather is a big hit with guests - long days on the beach, barbecues on the patio, lazy walks along the coast... but for Nick and the farm, it presents a unique set of challenges!

The sun has got his hat on, and it's looking to be a glorious Cornish Summer with long hot days, bright blue skies and warm temperatures. Many people will flock to the county's coastline, spending their days sitting on the sand and paddling in the sea.
