  • Peaceful farm site within 25 minutes' drive of handfuls of beaches
  • Central Cornwall location, 10 minutes' drive from Porthtowan beach
  • Wood-fired hot tub available to hire; dog-friendly; barbecues welcome
Are you eyeing up the lush countryside and beaches of Cornwall? Whisk yourself away to Primrose Farm Holidays. Set on a peaceful farm in the centre of Cornwall, not only is it a short drive away from a huge variety of Cornwall attractions – it's also within 25 minutes' drive of handfuls of beaches with gorgeous sand, surf and stunning views. Family-run and family-friendly, Primrose Farm Holidays is a short drive from the A30 road and surrounded by glorious countryside. The quiet farm is in the small village of Penstraze in the west of Cornwall, making Porthtowan one of its closest beaches (around a 10-minute drive). The location makes for a ‘best of both worlds’-type scenario. It should take you no time at all to settle into the relaxed rural setting, and you are welcome to bring your well-behaved dog for the ultimate family holiday. Barbecues and firepits are allowed, or you can spend an evening of luxury soaking in the wood-fired hot tub (book in advance; extra charges apply). Generous grassy pitches have easy access to the on-site amenities, which include toilet and shower blocks, a water supply and laundry facilities (available at an extra charge). If you plan on cooking, there is a small fridge (with a freezer compartment for chilling ice packs), plus a veg prep and washing-up area. There is a café/tearoom within a 15-minute walk. The nearest pubs and shops are in Chacewater (five minutes' drive) or Threemilestone (also five minutes), while the larger town of Truro can be reached in just under a quarter of an hour.

What customers say

Top spot! Friendly, tidy campsite with roomy, flat sites. Super clean loos & showers. Great base for Cornwall. Kids love the shop, bar & movie nights. A few road noise sites & a wish for family bath tubs. Driveway lights are in!

Unpowered grass site

Liked Spacious, allocated pitches - we travelled in a tentbox so wete reassured in knowing that we would be able to return from days out to the same pitch.
The toilets and showers were well-maintained and very clean with reliable hot water. Great little shop/cafe/bar on site - everything has been thought of! Bingo night and movie night were also on offer.
Location was convenient for getting the A30 to local attractions, and also near a bus stop to get to St Agnes, Perranporth, Newquay and Truro.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked The location is very close to the A30 so perfect for getting up and down Cornwall to where you want to be. The site is clean and the staff friendly and always helpful. We love that you can BBQ and have fires. It is pet friendly and great for families.

Disliked I would say that there can be a little bit of noise from nearby traffic but this is only a minor.

Local attractions

When it’s time to hit Cornwall’s famed beaches, sandy Porthtowan and Perranporth are only a 10-minute drive away. The former is popular with windsurfers and rockpool enthusiasts, while the latter is home to the clear waters of the Chapel Rock tidal pool. There are handfuls of beaches within a 25-minute drive of the farm, so it's up to you to decide between the likes of Newquay (25 minutes' drive), Upton Towans (20 minutes), Portreath (20 minutes) and Saint Agnes (15 minutes). Blackwater’s ATV Centre (five minutes' drive) has circuits for all ages and abilities, plus coaches showing you how to negotiate gradients and jumps. All the equipment is provided, from helmets and knee pads to coveralls, so you don’t have to worry about returning to the site covered in mud. For gentler activities, including a climbing wall, archery and a huge soft-play area, head to Base Camp, at Portreath (15 minutes). Truro (15 minutes) has a Gothic Revival cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum and heaps of green areas, such as Victoria Gardens, with a bandstand and shaded benches. Cool activities for kids include a skate park and the Celtic Tossers Axe Throwing centre.
