Cornish Tipi Holidays

Positiv Great place to stay very welcoming , as we were out of season we spent the night as the only guests, showers were hot once the water ran for a bit , composting toilets were new to us but wouldn't put us off going again

Negativ Lack of signage to the lake. Awesome once we found it

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks so much for the 10 out of 10 review - great you enjoyed your stay so much even though quieter in the season and so pleased the lake was awesome! See you again soon :)

Positiv We absolutely loved this site. Me and my two boys (10 and 7) stayed for 3 nights in a roof box tent at the meadow part. It was clean, quiet and relaxing.
The lake is absolutely stunning and we enjoyed the kayaks, boats and swimming. We also brought our paddle board and was perfect to practise standing up.
The tiki kitchen is absolutely stunning and the food was lovely!! The pizzas are cooked to perfection.
I loved there was an option to use flushing toilets as compost toilets isn’t for me, did try to use it once but the smell was just so strong i couldn’t do it and I took the lovely walk over the lit bridge each time. I liked the shower feel in the wood ones and the showers was nice and powerful, the only downside was the water would run hot and cold.
The staff are really friendly and pleasant

Negativ Wasn’t an issue for me but the hill down to the lake is quite steep, my youngest struggled with the walk back up.
There was no hot water for washing up.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely review and great 10 out of 10 rating and wonderful you plan to return year after year!
It sounds like you really enjoyed the lake and using your paddleboard and so pleased you had a good time at the onsite cafe the Tipi Kitchen and liked the woodfired pizzas. We know that not everybody is happy using the composting units so we're glad you appreciated the choice of flushing ones nearby instead! There is a bit of a hill down to the lake but the gentler path is just round the back and only a couple of minutes' longer. See you next year!

Positiv woodland & outdoors, beautiful location.
Lake and boats were a fantastic added extra, really enjoyed spending time on the lake!
peaceful 😌
could hear the owls on a night
and watch the bats flying.

Negativ TOILETS!!
compost toilet is disgusting, the smell and the flies were awful. We were parked up in the meadow section and could smell the toilets from our van, It was awful!!
flush toilets were better but still not great! very basic, dusty, cobwebs on toilet rolls!

Showers were also terrible, smelt mouldy!! plug holes were like swamps, gunky and mouldy!!
meadow showers were draining outside of unit making a large smelly puddle, often plodged in when trying to enter/exit NOT NICE

Vom Platzbetreiber: We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the lake and the outdoor environment and the wildlife. We are of course so sorry that you did not have a good facilities experience with the loos & showers in terms of cleanliness. We do try very hard to ensure all our units & cubicles are kept clean, fresh & tidy but mistakes do happen and we can only apologize if things were not up to scratch during your stay. If you had mentioned this to a member of staff they would have taken remedial action immediately - we have since receiving your review doubled down on instructions to staff re cubicle cleaning rules. Thank you so much for highlighting this in your review and we hope to see you again in the future.

Positiv Het zwembad, aardige mensen,live muziek,vuurtje bij de tent en onze plek.

Negativ Het donker pad naar het toiletgebouw en dat er geen verlichting was na 12 uur s'avonds

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks so much for your fantastic 10 out of 10 review and your wonderful photos to go with it! We love your description of everything and thanks also for mentioning all the staff - both the office team and the site staff will be delighted to hear your kind comments. We'll look forward to you relaxing here again soon!

Positiv We just arrived back from Cornish tipi holidays and it was the best long weekend. The campsite was brilliant, we stayed in a field tipi which was perfect. It had everything in perfect distance with the toilets, showers, washing basin and a picnic bench right by us. It was in a great location with lots to do nearby, all short drives away. The kids loved the free kayaks and canoes and jumping in the lake. We would definitely recommend and return ourselves

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks so much for your lovely review and we're so glad you had a great long Bank Holiday weekend camping with us & staying in a Village Field tipi! We're so pleased you enjoyed the site and the lake and our general location in the Cornish countryside and we'll look forward to seeing you with the family again soon!

Positiv It was a nice campsite and I came back after staying in the shepherd's hut a couple of years before. The tipi Kitchen was nice and there was a lot to look at on the site.

Negativ Tried to check in at reception honked the horn as requested waited for a further 15 minutes until going up to the tipi kitchen to try and find help to then go back down and wait ended up waiting around 40 minutes in total as we didnt know what information we needed to know before then deciding to just go and find a pitch ourselves to finally be greeted by a gentlemen up in the pitches who just made us aware of were the toilets was and no apology for the long wait, made us frustrated that we wasted a long time at arrival to be told something that took 30 seconds and made the weekend have a frustrating start as we were only staying for one night so we wanted to make the most of it.

Vom Platzbetreiber: We're so sorry there was some confusion over your arrival time! It's something that can happen if campers are late (which happens a lot!) or early (which also happens more than you might think!) and if it's beyond our check in times we have a self-check in system which we think was meant to happen on this occasion but it seems that wasn't clear so we can only apologize profusely. We're a small team and although we try to have lovely people checking guests in they do have to go off duty as well. Great that you enjoyed our onsite cafe and the site itself.

Positiv Everything Great, drove 5 hours, forgot my tent 🫣 very accommodating ❤️ great staff, lovely place. Will deffo go back!
