The Laurels Holiday Park

Likte: Immaculate and very organised

Likte ikke: The noise - unfortunately there is a busy road right next to the site that destroys any peace & tranquility. Also, it is not conveniently located near to camel trail as we had hoped as the lane was too muddy to access the camel trail. We had to use the fast/ narrow road and ride a longer way to the camel trail.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the positives NB, sorry the road disturbed you - it is very clear from our location we are on a main A road so unfortunately traffic noise is not something within our control. There are several options for getting to the camel trail - one being the lane you mentioned which as it has been raining almost continuously since last August is muddy when usually dry by now. There is a route equal in distance to the lane which involves crossing the main road twice but cycling on country lanes not on the main road. This is highlighted on the large local area map on the reverse of our welcome board and we are always on hand to help had you asked us either directly or by phone/email. Really glad you found everything immaculate and well organised. Best Wishes Sarah and Jo

Likte: Loved the tidy, well maintained grounds and pitches. Peaceful site set in a central location for visiting nearby towns, villages and beaches.

Likte ikke: Only improvement we can think of is it would be good to have a bench fitted in showers to allow us oldies to sit down when drying our feet!

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for this fantastic review of our campsite! It is wonderful to read you found the whole site clean,tidy, well-maintained and peaceful. We look forward to welcoming you back, thanks for the suggestion of a bench in the showers - if we don't have this next time you visit we can lend you a foldable stool :) Best Wishes Sarah and Jo

Likte: Toilets and showers are clean.

Likte ikke: It was ridiculously noisy. A hedge row away from all the traffic on the A39. If you want to have a peaceful camping experience don’t go there. We paid £78 for two nights and only stayed for one as it was so noisy. I was so tired the next day as I couldn’t sleep. The entrance is down the road off the A39 so I didn’t give it a thought they would put pitches right next to the main road. Owners , Loose a bit of money and plant hedges on those pitches to deaden the sound. It would improve your campsite massively. Very neat looking campsite showers and toilets clean. Other people on the campsite where also upset about this too.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Medina, Yes we are right next to a main road and yes it can be noisy. This is something we do not hide and from our location on a map you can clearly see this. If you had done more thorough planning or even phoned before booking to say you were concerned about potential road noise we would have dissuaded you from booking as we want people to enjoy their stay with us which most people do. More frustrating is that you did not voice any disappointment to us whilst you were here - we could have found you another pitch further away from the road as we were not fully booked when you stayed. We have however had a number of people who stayed at the same time as you rebook for next year so i am unsure who else was unhappy. I am sorry you were disappointed and can only suggest that you do some more research on a site before booking. Kind Regards Sarah

Likte: The privacy of the touring pitches, the cleanliness of the toilet and shower block and we were particularly impressed to find a dog play park complete with a bin and poo bags.

Likte ikke: Very little to comment on here! The site is by a main road which we could hear from our pitch but it didn’t hinder our sleep or affect our stay.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you Glyn! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay here - we hope we can welcome you again! Best Wishes

Likte: The pitch was spacious. The communication and instructions were great from very friendly staff. Clean toilets and showers. The site itself was really easy to find and I think it’s great value for money. It’s the perfect place to stop if you’re stopping over for one or two nights.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Margaret, Thanks for the lovely review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back! Best Wishes Sarah and Jo

Likte: Proximity to Padstow and Wadebridge was fantastic, bus stop right at the front of the property

Likte ikke: Push button showers, you have to push the button every 15 seconds to keep the water flowing, unable to tell which was drinking water and which was waste water as no signs up

Fra bestyreren: Hi there! Really glad you enjoyed the location of the site and the bus service at our entrance. Sorry the showers didn't suit you but having tried every option over the years - including electric on and off switches this has proved the most sustainable for us and enables us to ensure plenty of hot water is provided for all. As we have had an incredibly wet winter with numerous storms our sign at the top water point was damaged and a new one has been ordered - we are waiting for delivery of this. The other water points around the site are clearly labelled. Best Wishes Sarah and Jo

Likte: Everything was well organised, clean and tidy. The owners clearly take pride in the site. I would have no hesitation staying again.

Likte ikke: Nothing. Some reviews complain about the proximity of the road. This is clearly pointed out in the information.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Chris! Thanks for the great review - no dislikes - just what we want for our customers! We hope we can welcome you back in drier weather. Best Wishes Sarah and Jo

Likte: Location was great, we were reliant on the bus service which was located directly outside the entrance. Has all the facilities you need, quiet location Toilet/shower facilities always very clean

Likte ikke: Not a dislike as such but there are only 2 showers for male & female which we would imagine in peak season would be difficult to use, but not a problem out of season

Fra bestyreren: Thanks Nigel for the highly rated review! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, found the facilities very clean and made use of the bus stop on our doorstep! Just to let you know the showers are plenty for the size of our site - a lot of the pitches available in winter have full seasonal caravans on in the main season who are never all down at the same time and we also have a unisex private shower and toilet washroom open as well. We hope to welcome you back! Best Wishes Sarah and Jo
