  • Well-maintained site in the grounds of a St Columb Major manor house
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of Newquay, Padstow and the Eden Project
  • Swimming pool, kids' pool, games room and bar on site
A Cornwall country pile with its own swimming pool and bar – swish enough for your family break? Then you’ll settle in well at the smart surrounds of Southleigh Manor Holiday Park, a spacious and well-maintained site in the grounds of a handsome 19th-century manor house. Fittingly for such a fancy setting, there’s a fine pile of facilities at this family-run site: around the well-kept gardens are a swimming pool and kids’ pool (with sun loungers for those supervising the smaller splashers), a large barbecue area and a play area on the edge of the woods. For times when the weather’s not so fine, scuttle indoors to the games room or the bar (which is generously stocked with local Cornish drinks to sip). And if the surrounds are pretty fine, so is the location, central within Cornwall just a two-minute drive from the A39. St Columb Major, less than a mile away, is your nearest spot for pubs, takeaways and supermarket stocking up. Beyond all of that, many of Cornwall’s top attractions are within easy reach – Fistral beach, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo, Padstow and the South West Coast Path are all within a 20-minute drive.

What customers say

This is a friendly, family-run site in a great location for exploring Cornwall. Guests frequently praise the helpful and welcoming staff, the clean and warm swimming pool, and the spacious pitches. However, several reviews mention issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of the toilet and shower blocks, with some guests reporting overflowing bins and a lack of toilet paper. The site is generally considered quiet and peaceful, though one review noted noise from an event.

Alex D.

Electric optional grass touring caravan pitch

Liked The friendly welcome on arrival and the generous pitch space. The swimming pool looked very inviting (did not get to use unfortunately) and we enjoyed the karaoke and evening entertainment on Saturday night.

Disliked Nothing.

Laura R.

2 bedroom static caravan

Liked The site was exactly what we needed. We spent everyday out and about exploring but the van was a perfect base for us. The kids loved the heated pool and the park. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked We didn’t dislike anything. Only thing I would say is that I like to leave things clean and tidy so it would be helpful if there was a Hoover or even a brush in the van so that people could tidy up. But there was nothing that we disliked about our stay and we will definitely return.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Pool area is nice for young kids, but smaller than photos suggest. Once you have 3-4 families in there it's a bit crowded.

Disliked Right next to a busy road- even at 2-3 am there were cars zooming past.
On our second day we were waiting until after 10am for the pool to open. Site says 9am, FB says 9.30am....
Not given any info on arrival about available WiFi.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely small site, only communicated with staff via email due to late arrival. Pool was closed which we knew as travelled late in season, didn't visit the pub/bar (was not aware if this was open). Park area for children was a good size and looked in good condition.

Disliked Shower & Toilet block. This was not cleaned In time I was there (Friday to Monday). Two toilets had no toilet paper during the whole visit. Layer of dust on top of hand dryer. Bucket and mop in ladies had dirty water left in it. It was a shame as this let the site down.

Excellent value for money for families with older kids.

Luke H.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Has everything you need for a camping trip, including an outside heated pool!
Staff were really friendly and accommodating.
Plenty of space on the pitch for an 8 man tent and an SUV.
Fellow campers were really friendly too!

Disliked The site is small, basically 1 field. Which is fine until they host a reggae night and the music is loud enough to be heard 3 fields away. Not ideal for toddlers/babies.
Toilet & shower block are also small, only 2 cubicles in the mens.

Local attractions

They’re mighty proud of their coastline, the people of Cornwall, and with good reason – it’s got so many stunning spots along its length. Mawgan Porth beach (15 minutes’ drive) is the closest stretch of sand, but it’s also worth planning trips to the spectacular sand dunes at Perranporth (25 minutes) and hitting the waves (with expert instruction from one of the local surf schools if required) at Newquay’s Fistral beach (20 minutes). Newquay itself’s worth a bit of your time too – the Blue Reef aquarium and Newquay Zoo are both popular picks for days out, and there’s a golf course with cracking sea views for those who don’t mind a bit of distraction. A little further north are the foodie haven of Padstow (20 minutes) and the little fishing village of Port Isaac (half an hour). Kids who’ve been well behaved might possibly earn themselves an outing to one of the family-friendly attractions nearby: Screech Owl Sanctuary (five minutes), Camel Creek Adventure Park (10 minutes) or Old MacDonald's Farm (15 minutes). Trips to the eco domes of the Eden Project will take about 20 minutes by car.
