Liked: Anchor Barrow was a brilliant campsite for the second part of our Cornwall summer holiday. The staff were very friendly, helpful, great with kids and the site facilities were excellent. The showers and toilets were clean and the electric pitches well sized. We enjoyed the entertainment and found ordering meat from the family butcher an excellent option and the breakfasts were brilliant and good value. The kids really enjoyed the various activities around the site such as the scavenger hunt. Great view as well!

Liked: Good clean facilities, large barn to sit in out of the weather. Football field great for my son, dog walking field great for the dog. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast!
Disliked: The road is a bit noisy but we slept well. A shelf in the shower cubicles maybe as I was desperately trying not to get any clothes wetter. The weather! The walk back from the beach is quite tough with a lot of things...surf boards etc.

Liked: The barn with live music was a fantastic atmosphere, the food evenings I thought, were fantastic good quality food at a good price. The showers and toilets were always kept clean and tidy.
Disliked: The showers were on a button system, I thought the timer was very fast making it difficult to rinse my hair.
