  • Simple, peaceful site five minutes’ walk from a bus stop for Newquay
  • Fistral surfing beach 15 minutes’ drive; Holywell Bay 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pop-up with valley views; pubs within 15 minutes’ walk
When what you want is peace, space for the kids to play and no-frills facilities on a Cornwall holiday, Kestle View comes up trumps in all three cases. This quiet pop-up site just south of Newquay sits in a four-acre field on a rural farm, where you can pick your own pitch at a site that’s got masses of space for kids to be kids. It’s also just a five-minute walk away from a bus stop for Newquay, which makes it a breeze for guests to get to and from sandy beaches, surfing waves and other attractions. Amenities are simple: there are loos, fresh mains water and a cold-water outdoor shower to wash off sand from the beach (it often warms up when it’s hot and sunny too). There’s no electricity, so come prepared with torches. You can have mini family adventures in the woodland at the bottom of the field, and a small river runs through the farm; exercise any dogs (and the kids) on waterside walks or choose shaded spots on the waterside for picnics. Newquay supermarkets and pubs are 10 minutes’ drive away, it’s easy to get to the local surfing beaches, and there’s a surfboard shop with a repair service in Kestle Mill, within five minutes’ stroll of the site. There’s a railway station in Quintrell Downs (less than five minutes by car), along with a small supermarket and several pubs too.

A peaceful, well-kept site with friendly owners. Reviewers love the beautiful views, spacious fields, and easy access to town and beaches. Clean facilities. Some note a bumpy access road, but other routes exist. Great value!

Local attractions

Surfers will be chuffed to realise that west-facing Fistral Beach is but 15 minutes’ drive away, with all vital amenities like gear shops and surfing schools to get pros and novices out on the waves. Backed by grass-topped dunes, National Trust - Crantock Beach (also 15 minutes' drive) has a quieter vibe but is still good for surfing and swimming. Young kids with you? Take them to Holywell Bay Beach (20 minutes) to explore the caves, dig around in rockpools and build sandcastles. They’ll all hopefully enjoy a visit to the Screech Owl Sanctuary and Animal Park (15 minutes) to handle owls, watch flying displays and feed meerkats as well. Sneak a little culture onto your sightseeing agenda with a visit to Tudor-era Trerice (five minutes), a handsome mansion with a formal Elizabethan knot garden to admire. There are walks and sculpture trails to follow at The Lost Gardens of Heligan (35 minutes), where 200 spectacular acres of Victorian plantings were restored in the 1990s.
