Liked Quite small campsite and very quiet and peaceful. Pitches were large. Shower facilities were very clean and there was a good amount of them for the size of the site.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Great facilities with lovely hot water, very clean and plenty of space. Owner very helpful and when there was an issue with another pitch playing loud music, they quickly addressed this.
Disliked As the site was quiet, the same family used the space to constantly kick footballs which caused a couple of near misses of people, vans and tents. I see on the website there is a field available for ball games, perhaps they could have been asked to use this.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review, we are sorry you had an issue with a family playing football, as you say we have a recreational field for ball games and we ask our customers to use this so as not to disturb fellow campers. Best wishes, David and Emma

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everything! Really well laid out site with mixed camping, static vans, yurt and shepherd’s hut. We appreciated the grass was kept short and that the clippings were collected. A lot of sites leave them and then they get into the van on our shoes!
We also liked the option to order pastries for breakfast and lunch.
The loo and showers were very good too.
A lovely camping environment.
Disliked Nothing.
The only thing to mention here is that we couldn’t get a tv signal. It didn’t worry us but if tv is important to you, this may be an issue.

Our favorite campsite
Shepherd's hut
Liked We had an amazing stay at the Shepperd's Hut, absolutely loved the experience and it had everything you need. We could have turned up with an empty car and would have been very comfortable. Just bring your own towels.
The hut comes with a fully lined bed, a kitchen counter with an electric hob, a small dining table, all the cutlery, a kettle, a coffee press, even a decent wi-fi. Outside you have a portable firepit and a small bbq (we used it to hold our disposable bbq above ground). You are 10m away from the toilets which is very handy for late at night.
This camp has very good showers and the water is hot 24h which was very convenient for us as we tend to come back to camp very late after a whole day exploring Cornwall. The hosts also offer fresh bakery in the mornings that you can pre-order, we tried the croissants, the sausage rolls and the steak pasty. All delicious and so convenient if you can't be bothered to do any cooking in the mornings.
The campsite is beautifully maintained and just the right size for everything to feel very close no matter where on the camp you stay. We will definitely come back again.
Disliked Nothing, 10/10 stay

Enjoyed our stay, level pitches in quiet area
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely little site in a quiet area with everything we needed for a successful camping trip
Disliked Toilet/shower rooms could have been cleaned a little better, i.e, lots of dust & cobwebs

Overall an enjoyable stay at a good site
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely little site in good location with friendly hosts.
Facilities are clean, loved that the toilets/showers are like en suite rooms rather than cubicles and shower blocks. There are only a few though so did have to queue at times.
Level, roomy pitches.
Nice option to order morning pastries. Pizza night was good.
Mostly quiet.
Would recommend and would stay again.
Disliked Several young boys constantly kicking footballs at and into our tent and near misses kicking towards people when walking past.
More an issue of parenting than the site but maybe some rules about ball games would be beneficial.
