Liked Adults only, dog friendly. Lovely clean site with large pitches, and immaculate toilets and shower facilities. Excellent location for driving into Falmouth or Truro. Lovely huge field for walking the dogs.

Showers were well maintained and spotless.
Level pitch.

Disliked Lack of wifi and we were on a superior pitch
Waste connection was on wrong side of caravan, hose was supplied but only after asking.
Not flexible when asking if daughter could be sited next to our pitch, even though it was vacant.

From the manager: Hi Simon

Thanks for taking the time to review your stay and for the lovely feedback about our clean and generally quiet site.

We are very sorry about the things you disliked.They all sound frustrating. We were unaware that a party was going to be happening in a neighbour's field on the Saturday over this Bank Holiday. We are so sorry that this affected your stay. We are assured it was a one off but we can imagine that it was very annoying.

We will look into why your daughter wasn't able to pitch up next to you. Perhaps we had a booking reserved for that spot but they never arrived. But we are sorry if that was disappointing.

We are reviewing the strength of wifi signal on the pitches nearest the road.

Liked The lady in reception was very welcoming. And the PDF welcome pack was very helpful the day before check-in.

The shower rooms and the washing up area was very clean and spacious. And well maintained.

Disliked Quite a lot wasn’t enjoyed here sadly.

The first issue was the underfloor heating in the toilets and showers were on 24/7 - it was approx 24° for the whole 5 days we were there and heating was not needed in them rooms, and made going to the toilet very sweaty!

Then the strange fact that pitches were so so cramped together AND tents were mixed in with caravans… meant that us being in a very good quality tent may I add - but with obvious thin fabric “tent walls” basically heard every single noise and tv sound coming from our very close next door neighbour caravan (and their dog literally playing each morning and night).

We have stayed in several camp sites over the years and never known tents to be mixed with caravans/motor homes - it makes no sense at all for us poor tent owners. Photo shows how close we were to the caravan.

We also had barely any sleep Saturday night due a very loud live band on the field just behind us going on til 1.30am - obviously not the campsite’s fault but surely something the owner can do to liaise with them about it.

I also didn’t like that the male cleaner (older guy) just came into the ladies toilets whilst I was in there and didn’t ask if I minded, or waited for me to come out.

There was WiFi available but we could barely connect to it due to poor signal.


We chose to stay at an adult’s only campsite as we thought it would be much quieter, but it turned out to be quiet one opposite.

From the manager: Hi Jade

We are sorry you were disappointed with the camping areas and heating in the toilet faciities. Both of which most of our visitors do appreciate, as you will see from the glowing reviews. Many like the fact that they can camp in a tent alongside other party members who might be in a van for instance. We would however encourage all our guests to respect their neighbours. Cosawes is generally a quieter site than most and we are sad to hear that your stay wasn't enjoyable because of other visitors.

Temperature control is obviously hard to get right sometimes. Our warm bathrooms are particularly welcomed by visitors in the winter, but we take your point that they might sometimes be too hot in the summer. We note you said you found the toilet block very clean and well maintained and we will let our staff know that, along with your other concerns.

We are sorry that there was an event on a neighbour's land on the Saturday night of your stay. This wasn't something we were warned about or had any control over. But we are disappointed that this caused you a disrupted night,. We can imagine that was extremely annoying. We have been assured it is a one off.

Liked Showers and toilets spotlessly clean

Disliked Only 3 fully grass pitches squeezed into small triangle by carpark and site road. Neighbouring tent uncomfortably close. Pitch covered with acorns so uncomfortable under canvas. It was quiet in the middle of the night but vehicles/ vans were regularly leaving site at 5am which was awful for anyone in a tent and seemed to be at odds with the quiet site philosophy. From various pictures on websites we were expecting to see more grassy areas but much of this now appears to be part gravelled and many of the gravelled areas were full of weeds. No interaction from staff. When we arrived we were asked if we were checking in, gave our names and were simply handed a leaflet and told our pitch number. No pleasantries at all and the only time we saw staff afterwards was when they whizzed by in buggies. We are experienced campers but felt as a tent camper we were a poor relation.

From the manager: We are sorry to hear you didn't have the best of stays with us. We have noted your comments and have updated our booking systems to ensure that larger tents or vehicles are now discouraged from booking in the spaces you are referring to. We are sorry you didn't receive our usual welcome. During office hours someone is usually there to answer any questions you might have.

Liked Absolutely everything toilet/shower block spotlessly clean no matter what time of day I went there.reception very friendly and welcoming asked for a 2 hour extension on departure day and was told I could stay till 2pm without charge the dog exercise field across the road is absolutely amazing with a stream running through the middle was a busy site on arrival but so quiet good site for exploring Cornwall will visit again next season

From the manager: Hi Martin

Thanks so much for your lovely review. And we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Liked What an amazing site! It was beyond our expectations. The facilities are 10/10, and the amazing field opposite the site where dogs can roam free and have a splash in the large stream that meanders through the field was the icing on the cake! The whole site was so peaceful, picture perfect, and in a fabulous location for exploring Cornwall. We will be back!

Disliked My only ever so tiny dislike was early morning traffic noise from the road a couple of mornings, but this cannot be helped and it was only occasional. I am a very light sleeper! My husband didn’t notice it. It certainly would not put me off returning.

Liked Had a really fantastic week at Cosawes. Site is really lovely and peaceful. Ideally situated to explore Falmouth, Truro and surrounding areas. Public transport easy to access. Post office in Ponsanooth fantastic so do pop up ( bit of a hill) for a glass of wine. Norway inn not far away and great food. Would definitely recommend and come back again.
