There is plenty of space for everyone, children and adults alike to explore and enjoy, yet intimate enough so that having all the friends and family around is perfect. Moira and Zoe were on hand to answer any questions every step of the way during the planning stage and throughout the whole event. The entertainment and catering they suggested proved to be a God send. Our guests have all said they agree with our own view, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole two days. We couldn’t have asked for any better. We so much wanted the outside wedding and the weather was kind to us on the day, however there was even a backup plan that would not have been a “second best choice” had the rain made an appearance. We thank you very much for making our special day so perfect.

With the top spot being really near us at Goldiggins quarry, Minions, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. It is a lovely spot! From The Guardian: Wild swimming in the UK: 10 top spots The secluded beauty of wild swimming in the UK makes for the perfect alfresco dip – and you’re never too far away from great campsites, castles, gardens, pubs and restaurants either   Daniel Start   The Guardian, Friday 10 May 2013 21.00 BST Wild Swimming Taking the plunge … the UK’s wild swimming spots are worth making a splash over. Click here for a Google map plotting the grid references in this article Goldiggins quarry, Minions, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall This spring-fed quarry lake is the perfect suntrap. The beautiful jade water glistens within a rocky amphitheatre and there are flat ledges for jumping and grassy areas for picnics and sunbathing. It’s a beautiful walk out on to the moor past the Hurlers – one of the most complete remains of a stone circle in the south-west. From the Hurlers car park in Minions, follow the track, which heads north on to the moor; walk past the circle and after 15 minutes bear left at the junction. You can return via the Pony Pool and the “Cheese Ring” tor: a stack of weathered rocks piled up like lumps of mozzarella. 2013-05-13T10:23:03+00:00 http://www.thegreencornwall.co.uk/blog/article/trip-advisor-reviews-of-cornwall-cottages/ http://www.thegreencornwall.co.uk/ blog/article/trip-advisor-reviews-of-cornwall-cottages/}#When:17:49:12Z “Everyone should stay here” Another lovey Trip Advisor review for our cottages. Why not check out our Reviews Customer Reviews page for more reviews “Within 10 minutes of arriving at The Green we were sitting on the balcony of our cottage with a glass of wine enjoying the absolute peace and the view, not often you feel so relaxed so quickly. Its location near Bodmin Moor is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. We stayed in cottage number 4, it has literally everything you would need and more. Simple touches in the kitchen like jars of teabags, coffee (and a cafetiere), milk on arrival were really welcome and the kitchen was so well stocked that you really wanted for nothing. In the living area, books, dvds and boardgames along with lots of information were provided. The high beamed ceilings added the wow factor along with the modern, tasteful décor. We were childishly impressed with the amplifier that allowed you to plug in your ipod and the music be played into all rooms separately! Our son and his friend loved the play park and especially the hammock. Normally when I go away I have trouble sleeping but the bed was so comfortable that this wasn’t the case here. We had the best, most relaxing long weekend we’ve had in years and would highly recommend staying at The Green.”   Stayed May 2013, traveled with family 2013-05-11T17:49:12+00:00 http://www.thegreencornwall.co.uk/blog/article/there-is-so-much-to-do-when-staying-here-at-the-green/ http://www.thegreencornwall.co.uk/ blog/article/there-is-so-much-to-do-when-staying-here-at-the-green/}#When:14:38:56Z There is so much to do when staying here at the green….
