Liked: The camp site is very tucked away and in a beautiful setting but only a 5 minute walk to the beach. The owners are lovely. The facilities are clean.
Disliked: The only hot water is in the showers. So you had to wash your hands in cold water and take a kettle of hot water with you to do the washing up. You have to rent a BBQ (you can’t take your own) but it doesn’t come with a grill… so then you have to find one big enough, which wasn’t really something I wanted to spend my time hunting for in the shops.

From the manager: Hello. Thank you for the review. We would like to take this opportunity to reply, and address these issues you have spoken about. Our water heater has gone bang ! and were awaiting the plumber to change the unit so we do apologize this has occurred during your stay. All campers can bring any camping equipment they wish, including there own BBQ's ( Fuels purchased from the onsite shop ) We provide a Firepit/BBQ for every pitch if required. The Firepit / BBQ - During the check in we run through everything, and it seems you have totally missed this information ? In our onsite shop, we sell BBQ trays standard size and a party size, this fits into the Firepit/BBQ for you to cook with. If you wish to have a fire after cooking, you simply add the woods etc and enjoy the evening. James and I every morning, empty the Firepit/BBQ so you're ready to go again. Due to the Clean Air Act, we have always provided all firewood and BBQ products to our campers, to assure everyone is burning firewood at the correct moisture levels. Therefore, we have made this a policy for campers, that all fuels are purchased from our onsite shop. We hope this helps and fills in those gaps that made your stay here incomplete.

Liked: Shilla Mill is not cheap, but it's a lovely, tiny campsite in a great location, with lovely owners. It's no more than a ten minute walk from Polzeath seafront, but feels like it's surrounded by woodland and meadows and wildlife. The showers and toilets are clean, the water is plentiful and hot, there are good washing-up facilities, with fire-pits / bbqs available to hire. You can't take your own logs though.
Disliked: There isn't a freezer for freezer blocks; we ended up buying bags of ice from the local Spar for our cool-boxes.

Liked: This is a fantastic site. It is peaceful and has easy access to the beach. My son was particularly pleased with the fire pits as he’d been looking forward to a camp fire. The toilet and shower facilities are slightly basic but they are regularly kept clean and they perfectly adequate. Finally, the owners were a lovely pair who were warm, welcoming and very helpful. I really can’t wait to stay again.
