  • 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.

Luke H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

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.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Friendly and accommodating staff. They were very super helpful when we didn't realise we need a specific electric adapter for camping. Showers were powerful & hot Well set up camping site which had most things you need. Would happily return for a short stay/Boardmasters. Thank you for having us!

Disliked: Unfortunately the cleanliness & general maintenance let the site down but with a bit more attention it would be a great all-rounder. The ladies were often in need of more toliet roll and often at times when the office wasn't open to request more. This could easily be solutioned by providing a shelf above the toliet with extra loo roll. The toliets & showers do need more regular cleaning. You can't help it if someone has left the toliet in a state, but they do need more attention. The sanitary bins were overflowing. The mop & bucket provided was dirty and brown water sat in the bucket for the whole of the our stay It's a shame because we're are with our stay apart for this.

From the manager: Hello thank you for your review we do check the toilets on a regular basis and the reception is open from 9 but some times it is open from 7;30 it doesn't close until 10:30 some times later. Some one does check the toilets rolls before shutting up. We have tried leaving toilet rolls in there but just ended up disappearing. Unfortunately we can't get no one checking on the toilets during the night.

Such a fantastic site, Staff are very helpful and welcoming. My extension lead…

Power optional grass motorhome site

Liked: The pool, very laid back atmosphere of staff. On site bar (although bottles only). Location to boardmasters park and ride car park for dropping the kids.

Disliked: Toilets/showers were horrible, Manor House is very tired and it’s not really a touring site.

Ryan c. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Honestly was a beautiful quiet site great for kids the main thing for me was how great the showers were, really hot and really powerful anytime of the day, not an overcrowded site and the pitch sizes are more than generous, the kids loved playing both indoors and out and the outdoor pool was amazing, we were all surprised how warm it was even though it was 14°c at the time with cloud cover. Perfect location not quite in the hustle of Newquay but only 15 minutes drive if needed plenty of places to visit around the site. Will 100% be returning next year, the family that run this site are really friendly and so helpful. Just bring a long electric cable as mine was too short as it normally is.

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.
