Amazing small site with everything you need.
Electric optional grass tent pitch (XL)
Liked Very clean, small site with good facilities. EHU worked well. Showers and toilets were very clean and smelled great. Lovely owners who were friendly and unobtrusive but always available when needed. Great situation with an amazing golf course right next door with club house and indoor pool available to pay to use. Walking distance to the beach. Great WiFi access.
Disliked It was quite pricey but given the short notice and the bank holiday it was worth the cost.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (XL)
Liked Perfect location nestled in a peaceful spot only a few minutes walk from Polzeath beach and shops. The facilities at the campsite were the best we've ever used.. the showers were especially good! The campsite also has the luxury of a firepit and picnic bench, and the hosts were very helpful with us from the moment we arrived. We will definitely be staying again soon!
