Liked: We loved our stay at Penwarne farm. Such a beautiful spot looking out over the bay, within easy reach of beaches and walks. Waking up to the swallows swooping the field and the friendly horses was just perfect! Thanks Nicola for a great couple of days! x

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Great views of the sea, the pitch was nearly level so no need for levelling chocks. Good walk to meanporth beach (about 25-30 mins). Toilets have been improved over the years but are lacking compared to alot of other sites in the area. It's a working farm so you have to expect it. But it would be nicer if these where overhauled and made more enclosed with less bugs and wildlife living inside.
Disliked: Mens toilets Womens toilets
