Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The site has great views overlooking the Lynher valley towards Bodmin Moor. The layout is spacious with level gravel hardstanding pitches and well mown grass. It is all clean and well maintained.
The facilties were kept clean and fresh.
The Engine House restaurant was good food at good value prices.
Disliked The shower cubicals are very small! It is difficult to reach down to pick up the shower gel from the floor and was almost impossible to shower without wetting your hair!
A few more water taps around the site would be good.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Fantastic place lovely clean Facilities and nice food at The Engine House Restaurant all the staff very friendly and welcoming nothing too much trouble..Well done keep it up hospitality can be very difficult to work in as I know from 10 years plus experience.
Disliked Wasn't happy with the older gentleman with the big Dog just wandering about and invading my privacy . I didn't like the fact it was off the lead, I felt nervous with the dog around and he really should be told not to go inviting himself around others camping pitches.
