Southleigh Manor Holiday Park

The location.

A tired unkempt site, the toilet block was filthy with ingrained dirt everywhere, soap dispenser ran out on day 1 and was never refilled. We were on a hardstanding that was an unused static caravan site with all the cables and be tiedown points left as trip hazards. Such a pity as it could be a great site with a little love.
A fellow camper summed it up by saying " it could be a good campsite if the owners got off their backsides" he had booked for 10 nights and regretted it.

A ver Friendly welcome. Lovely swimming pool just the right temperature

The bar area is very unkempt and not inviting enough. Either toys or washing everywhere

Staff where very good very helpfull

We just had the most amazing stay at southleigh manor we will defiantly be returning! The staff at the park are so helpful couldn’t do enough for us, nothing was too big of an ask! The toilet facilities are clean, the pool is heated and clean and my boys loved it in there. It’s only a small campsite, everything is close together, it was the first time we was able to let our boys play in the park alone as we was able to see it from our pitch. The campsite is in a great location this beautiful beach took us 20 minutes to get there, we went to another beach that around 15 minutes away from the campsite and again it was gorgeous. There is a coop about 5-10minuted down the road and then the bigger stores are about 20 mins. We can’t wait to return. Thank you very much

great location of site, in a great place for access to the best beaches in cornwall!
very lovely welcome on arrival. there is a lovely outdoor pool which the kids enjoyed, you can book time for just your family in the mornings which is great too.
the toilets etc are cleaned regularly and the shop is stocked well for everything too :)

the pitch we had was at the side of the 1 way gravel road so the front of out tent opened to the road. we had to pitch it that way as it was also on a slant. the pitches are in a big circle with tents in the circle and around the outside of the gravel road which is noisy as when we stayed it was fully booked with cars going past until gone 11.
leaflets are given out on arrival saying to minimise noise after 10, unfortunately this is left to luck of who is on your site, we were unfortunate as we had people arrive on our second night with young kids that were shouting obscenities & ran crazy around other peoples tents until 11 :/
i think with some rearranging it could be a great site, it is by no means a manor as you’d expect as advertised & was very cluttered inside but very friendly staff/owners in a great location.

Small friendly site with lovely level pitches set amongst the trees. Great amenities including a bar, shop and heated pool.

Although spotlessly clean the toilet block would benefit from a little modernisation.

Staff very friendly and helpful.

The site is in a perfect location, a few miles outside of Newquay and a short car ride from all of Cornwalls beautiful beaches and attractions.

Swimming Pool - The kids absolutely loved the heated swimming pool and swam daily, the area was clean and tidy, and plenty of sunbeds if required. They had a booking system for the morning if you wanted a private swim, or from 12pm it was open to the public.

Shop - The site had a well stocked shop selling all sorts, inflatables, goggles, food, ice cream and all the camping essentials like bbq coal, lighters etc!

Bakery - We were able to order Cornish pasties / sausage rolls which were then delivered straight to our pitch.

Toilets/Showers - Modern shower block which were always clean and tidy.

Friendly and welcoming owners

The layout of the campsite meant we were all tightly packed together. Our view from our tent was a sea or cars, trailers and other tents back to back. There was no space between pitches to walk to the facilities without having to walk directly through other people's pitches, often stepping over guy ropes, which meant our pitch was the short cut to the swimming pool.

One evening a bunch of children ran through our pitch, around the windbreaker and tripped over the guy ropes. There doesn't seem to be the same pitch etiquette as we've experienced elsewhere which resulted in us leaving a day earlier than planned.

We understand the site was fully booked due to the queen's jubilee, but it was uncomfortably cramped, we were squeezed in like sardines.

Due to our children being young in age, we like to watch our children play and ride their bikes from our tents, this is the only site we've visited where they weren't able to play freely or had a large open area to ride their bikes safely.

The playpark also needs relocating and upgrading as it's situated directly under large trees in the shade, so the equipment was covered in birds poop and as soon as it rained it became boggy and unusable.

The site has the potential to be great, if they reduced the number of pitches and spread out tents, creating pathways to the facilities.

One of the best places I have ever camping

Friendly service, very clean facilities, fresh flowers, hand cream, great lay out in the shower blocks that ment you could get dry comfortably and it was heated, pitches all very clean and tidy, great location, a great site.
