Liked: Everything! Peaceful, chilled place. Friendly welcoming staff, very kid/dog friendly! Loved that they a field where you could let doggies off lead for little toilet/run around! Loved how they’ve really thought about the children here, the lovely little parks, the outdoor kitchen and cars was great! Loved that they have lots of toys in the sitting area which was an amazing touch with toddlers who don’t like to be sat still for long!! :) loved the beautiful local beach specially with it being dog friendly with the dog wash for coming back to our tent without the sandy salty doggy paws!
Disliked: The weather! :( which is out of there control (obviously) which leads me back to what I liked - how most of it is under roof for all weathers and the rain doesn’t stop us in our wellies :) also the wifi no issue for us but for majority these days could be a pain!

Liked: A very well kept site with 5* facilities. It has a brilliant cafe and bar with a small shop too. Only a short walk to local each too. Staff were all friendly. Reasonably priced. We didn’t visit the farm but it looked popular with the children. People camping were respectful of the curfew time to be quiet. Was a little concerned that this site would be a little commercial but still had the down to earth feel of a basic site but just plush facilities and lovely staff. Highly recommend this site … thank you.

Liked: Great amenities and atmosphere, friendly staff, good nightly rate, great restaraunt/bar.
Disliked: 2 hours of free WiFi in bar area... Unlimited WiFi business accounts are readily available and people are spending enough on pitches and food etc already - to have to pay for WiFi in 2024 seems unnecessary and a bit of a cash grab. Would have been 5 stars if this was included.

Liked: What a gem! This is a beautifully kept and run site. Even though we were two women in our late twenties, we loved seeing the animals, definitely not just for children! Toilet and shower facilities were modern and very clean. Staff were extremely friendly and laid back. We made use of the bar, watched some live music and loved the outdoor cafe/restaurant area, food was delicious and reasonably priced. The location couldn’t have been better, a short drive to padstow and Newquay but close to lots of beautiful bays, including one a 10 minute walk away. A lot of thought has gone into this site. Will be visiting again.
Disliked: Phone signal was patchy, WiFi was available in some areas. Didn’t bother us but something to be aware of in case you need to be contactable.
