The Animals

As you can see from the menagerie at Boturnell Farm, we are animal crazy! Many of the pets here are rescue and we appreciate that many owners like to bring their pets on holiday. This is fine by us. Throws are provided to protect the furniture and help you relax. All cottages have enclosed gardens. Dogs stay free. Stabling is available for the more larger pets and more adventurous owners. Hay can be provided and there are many super rides around. We also have on site a dog crèche. This can be booked if you are out all day and you are not comfortable leaving your pets in the cottage. The dog crèche is an enclosed run with a sofa. Naturally, we do have a pick up policy.

At the farm, we have pygmy goats, all of whom have a story to tell! They share their life and often their breakfast with some of the chickens and ducks that wander around. There are the guinea fowl, cats, degus, chipmunks and horses around. We also have guinea pigs and a rabbit. Our own dogs( 1 from Pet Rescue) stay in our house and garden.

Our chickens are all free range; in fact they have the run of the place, and will appear with a clutch of chicks. Merlin the goat, one of our varied rescue herd.   There are 6 resident horses and ponies at Boturnell Farm, 3 of them over 30 years old. At the other end of the scale is Harry who was born in August last year. Lancelot, another pygmy goat We have 8 "free range" pygmy goats, all of whom have a story to tell! They share their life and often their breakfast with some of the chickens and ducks that wander around. We also have 4 guinea pigs and our own dogs( 2 from Pet Rescue) who stay in our house and garden .   The Guinea fowl, always a source of amusement with their waddle and strutting. Taz enjoying a stroll around the woods. The primroses looking beautiful in the woods. The stream that flows at the edge of our land. A view of the woodland path. Andy Grey named after a pub landlord. He came to us having slipped down a cliff in Falmouth and landing in a pub back yard! After a year, they couldn't keep him so he joined the menagerie. The chickens enjoying a handy perch. Not so sure the guinea pigs are so impressed! One of the chipmunks snacking. Aubrietia growing in the walls gives a splash of colour. Pedlar and Wilkins inspected the bluebell crop.   "OK I'll take the right flank and you watch the rear guard!" Pedlar & Wilkins playing soldiers in the woods. Merlin & Charlie keeping their heads down.      This is Wallace, 11 years old and thinks he is a horse.  Annie is keen to keep the gardens trimmed.
