Mill Valley

Positiv While reading reviews prior to booking, saw many reviews mentioned "inefficient shower". After staying there, we must say the shower was phenomenal - easy to prepare (takes about half hour), let alone the setting. The host is extremely friendly! Overall, 10 outta 5 😉

PS: hopefully future guests would see our review before getting anxious about "shower situation"

Positiv Peaceful back to nature site.

We loved being able to cycle along the country lanes into Wadebridge for breakfast then straight onto the Camel trail.

It was ideal returning to the site at the end of the day for a bbq and beers, watching Rosco the horse in the field. Admiring the stars and the moon as it got dark and hearing the owls hooting was idyllic.

Really friendly hosts Lisa and Neil.

Thank you

Positiv Lovely, quiet small site. Not too sloped. Loose check in/out times. Composting toilet works well. Resident horse.

Negativ Showers aren't great, I like the idea of wood fired shower but in reality it is pretty unusable - some solar showers would be better I think. It's a bit of a pain climbing over stile to get to washing area.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your review Adam...with regards to access to showers and washing area there is also a gate next to the stile so you can take your pick! Regarding the showers -we have been using the same system on our glamping/camping site for nearly 20 years. It is a simple and fun way to generate hot water for showers and baths, unlike solar this works regardless of the weather. Everything is provided to facilitate this and the shower only takes about 15 minutes to heat up. It isn't instant hot water but that's one of the charms of Mill Valley, everything slows down :-)

Positiv Peaceful, lovely location, nice being near livestock.

Negativ Shower was a unique experience that didn’t really work for me, took a while to get the fire burning, and even longer to get any warmth in the water,
Once it did it wasn’t warm for long,
All for £3.

Vom Platzbetreiber: HI Michael, thank you for your review...we did speak you to on a number of occasions during your stay with us and if you were struggling with the fire/shower we would've gladly helped.
We don't really understand because on your last evening here you said "the showers are great fun!"
Whilst we understand it was your first time camping we think it is really unfair to rate us down on :
WIFI - our site is NOT advertised with WIFI as we're in the countryside.
CLEANLINESS - The toilets and the showers are all cleaned twice daily.
CUSTOMER SERVICE - You had a welcome message before your arrival so you had all the details, we met you on arrival and then had several chats with you over the time you were here. You were also told that we were in our shop between the hours of 2 and 6 everyday if you needed to know anything etc.
FACILITIES/ACTIVITIES - We are lucky to live in an area where there is so much to do, stunning walks on the doorstep, the camel trail close by and stunning beaches within a 5 mile drive.
VALUE FOR MONEY - £12.50 a pitch in North Cornwall in the holidays. Enough said!

Positiv Loved this site,It’s peaceful,Value for money and the owners are really nice.

Positiv Lovely campsite, amazing staff.
We were great when we arrived, and recommend a spot to suit our needs. The facilities were clean and well stocked with toilet roll.
The campsite was extremely peaceful, had some lovely wildlife which added to the experience and made for an extremely pleasant stay.
The staff were attentive, approachable and genuinely nice people. They informed us about a lovely walk to a stream nearby and told us about a shower break as soon as they could and redirected us to other showers onsite.

Negativ We did not dislike anything during our stay. But may advise asking staff on how to heat the showers.
Also worth noting there is a separate camp within the same site which does allow children.
