A well run, welcoming site.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great welcome at reception, clean facilities and generous pitch, good atmosphere in the bar. Also brilliant location with a beach and the wonderful Pig Restaurant minutes away and a number of great tourist spots nearby. Stayed from one night this time, but aiming to come back for a week next time.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Close proximity to beach, nice hot showers, ample washing up and laundry facilities. Clean toilets. Well stocked shop, nice playpark.
Disliked My tent pitch was in amongst the trailers, so it was rather flood lit inside the tent.

Harlyn Sands aka Little Plymouth
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff. Location to beaches. We are familiar with the site.
Disliked Having to book a time slot and pay FIVE POUNDS to use the pool. Obviously didn’t use it. Disappointing.
Entertainment in the club house was mediocre at best. The hosts could have presented themselves more professionally, smarter.

Liked Superb location for exploring the South West Coast Path between Padstow and Newquay.
It is worth checking the bus times and the tide tables before you book so you can take a shortcut across the beach to the bus stop at low tide.
