Gwel-an-Nans Farm

This site and owner were excellent with a warm welcome and could not help us enough. We were given a tour of the site and facilities on arrival, and she wanted to ensure everything was to our satisfaction throughout our stay.

The site is relaxing and peaceful, a great place to unwind and the donkeys were very friendly.

Facilities were clean and all you needed.

We would be very happy to stay again when we are in the area.

Quiet site with very spacious pitches. The owners were helpful and friendly and offered a range of food services including freshly baked pasties to your pitch or the option to have locally purchased pizzas heated in their outdoor pizza oven. Amenities were always clean and well stocked in terms of hand soap, paper towels and toilet tissue. The shower rooms were particularly spacious and always had hot water available whenever I went to use them.
The pitches are relatively level and each has its own picnic table and attached bench which are easily positionable on your pitch due to them being on wheels.

The slot meter controlled washing machine was limited to a small 3kg load (despite it being a 7kg rated machine) and with a very short half hour wash at only 20C, so was really only suitable for lightly soiled clothes and was a slight disappointment. This was explained by the site as being due to “low water pressure” on site! This, I believe, would normally mean that a machine took longer to fill with water, while the 20C would reduce electricity needed to heat the water and both therefore would be longer to complete a wash cycle, but I would have preferred to have had the option to pay slightly more to achieve an effective washing!

Peace and tranquillity . Attentive owners and nice touches ( pasties , pizza etc options) and resident donkeys.

Having to go home

The whole place has a peaceful vibe about it, Norma, Gerald & Shiela the hosts, the surrounding countryside/views/walks. Its a favourite of ours and will continue coming back for more.If you have dogs the walk from the site into Cardinham Woods is a must but a bit of a trek on the way back. Its even better now that Norma cooks cornish pasties to order and provides fire pits.

Nothing

Lovely, small, quiet campsite. Friendly and helpful owners, always around checking everything is OK. Cute donkeys and cattle and lovely nature walk. Plenty of water taps available and facilities were nearby and kept clean. Picnic benches provided per pitch and pizza oven and firepits available on request.
