Liked: The Rising Sun Inn is to be highly recommended. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was excellent: well cooked, tasty and attractively presented. Our stay on site was comfortable, and conveniently positioned to receive the WiFi connection in our van. Superb!

Liked: The location is brilliant and is 5 minutes from the dual carriagewayn which connects to you between many places on the West and East coast of Cornwall. The staff are very friendly and the campsite has easily accessible 24/7 facilities too.

Liked: Campsite I'm sure is great in summer and better weather but right now it's a muddy mess, the car park to the pub which you drive through has pot holes so big I'm sure we would of disappeared if we hadn't been careful 🤣. Facilities were OK although needed cleaning more often due to the weather and mud situation and the walkers that were using them due to the key coded doors being left open. The one issue that's not great was the amount of people with dogs using the campsite to take the dogs to the toilet and then on two occasions not picked up the mess! We didn't use the pub as the stay was for business not pleasure but it looked very inviting. WiFi works quite well on site
Disliked: Toilets/shower left open for anyone to use and leave a mess. Not cleaned often enough for this reason. Dog walkers using the camp field as a dog toilet.

Liked: This is a basic site with everything you need. Clean showers/toilets - grass pitches with both electric and non electric. Chemical waste disposal and drinking water available. Pitches are of large ample size - which is great! Quiet area, ideal for dog walking etc. The adjoining pub is a true hidden gem. Pub Staff are very friendly and more than happy to help. Great atmosphere. The traditional little Cornish pub leads in to a beautiful stone and wooden beam airy restaurant. Great selection on tap at the bar. And I could not do the food justice - amazing! We have visited more than once, as we love it so much - which is unusual for us (we like to try new/different places) We will be back again....

Liked: Lovely quiet site. Had a meal at the rising sun, due to staying at the site had a reduction on our food, which was excellent. Really friendly and welcoming and service was excellent. Will definitely be going there again.
