Good holiday park
Electric grass pitch
Liked I liked the entertainment which was excellent. and the pool was great with the lifeguards doing a good job looking out for non swimmers etc.The location of the site is a big attraction for us overlooking Haryln bay and the local beach being a 10 minute walk away.The staff were friendly and always helpful when asked for advice.The food at the restaurant was good and the carvery on the Sunday was a treat for us.
The free showers were a real bonus for us this year as we didn't need lots of 20p coins in order to have a shower .IWe hope this continues for the showers.
Disliked The toilets cleanness was an improvement from last year although the urinals were not being flushed regularly and were quite smelly due to being in continuous use.

Great holiday park but the arcade needs updated and cash on site.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch was level and good condition. Toilets and showers always kept clean and well stocked. Friendly staff, happy to help. Great entertainment for kids and adults in the club house. Showers were free even though it said 20p to use and was a great temperature through out shower. Generally a great holiday park.
Disliked The chip shop wasnt the best but also wasnt terrible. No cash machine and little cash back available at bar even though you need it for Bingo each night and the arcade on site. Swimming was £5 per person which we think should be included.

Beach Field Zone 2 electric grass pitch
Liked Good views from beach field. Good size pitches on beach field. Walking distance to beach.
Disliked Chip shop on site absolutely disgusting. Pitch mess ups on arrival. Access lane absolute nightmare, one day took 15 minutes to get out. Issue with ants and so did all others that are spoke to.

Loved our first holiday in Cornwall, at Harlyn Sands 2026
Electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent service from start to finish. Both kids and adults had a great time. Entertainment was brilliant with a great variety. Would definitely recommend 👌.
Disliked I do think there is need for more washing machines. The path down to the beach needs to be more accessible. More accessible shower with fixed hand rails and seat.
