Gwel-an-Nans Farm

Liked This is our third stay at Gwel-an-Nans and we’ve booked in again for next year. The site is perfect for families who don’t like the busy, noisy sites and just want to enjoy a peaceful, friendly holiday. There is an open field for children to play in which is perfect for kite flying, football or just running around to burn off some energy! There is one toilet/shower for the women and one toilet/shower for the men then a shared toilet/disabled in the middle of the block but don’t let that put you off because we have never waited long to use the facilities, you just need to time it right (it’s mainly the mornings which are busiest) but then the site doesn’t have many units so it’s never busy. Norma is a brilliant host and extremely friendly and helpful. Make sure to take advantage of her cooking as her pasties/sausage rolls and bacon and cheese turnovers are amazing and also this year she has a new trailer which she is serving good coffees and milkshakes from. There are also two donkeys on the site which the kids love and are very friendly. The pitches themselves are well kept and level and the grass is always maintained. The site is roughly 30-40 minutes drive from the main beaches like Perranporth, Newquay and Padstow which are easy to get to via the A30. The site is very popular with the same families returning each year which tells you all you need to know because you wouldn’t return somewhere if you didn’t fully enjoy it. We can’t wait to visit again next summer!

Liked Absolutely lovely camp site. Always clean and tidy. People who run the campsite are really helpful and kind. Campers respected the 10pm quiet time which was fantastic!

Liked Terrible place

Disliked The lady was so rude,dog chained up outside house barking, when we turned up with our campervan we were told we could not put a 2 man tent up for your older girls to sleep in next to campervan!!only small as travelling around so didn’t want to put up awning as only staying 2 days!! They would have to be 20 meters away from campervan. My daughter is 17 with special needs and she didn’t care and said they would have to be in the other corner of field that’s the rule if you don’t like it there’s nothing I can do!! So we didn’t stay!! I would not recommend this campsite! The lady has a sign outside saying it’s with the camping & caravan club but when I mentioned we are members she said we are not in the book!! So why have a sign outside. Rude and not helpful

Liked Lovely small quiet place. The bench with every pitch was great! We received a very friendly welcome, the coffee served at the place was an extra bonus, and my daughter loved the milkshakes!
Only one shower and toilet for ladies and one for men, but because the place is so small it wasn't an issue at all, and it was spotless clean.
My daughter loved the donkeys, we fed them every morning!

Disliked I only had one issue, I booked the place because of how many trees were there, I was hoping we will get some shade. The tent pitch area is on the field next to the donkeys, the sun hits the area from about 12 all day. Where we were they was a tree, it gave some shade until noon but after it's full sun. On a rainy or cold day it's a bonus but it was a hot weekend, we tried to place the tent to give us some shade during the day. But this not an issue that can be fox really, it was just my personal issue, I can't stay out on the sun for too long.

Liked The wonderful peaceful surroundings and the warm and friendly staff. We stayed for 10 days in July 2025 the weather was good for us . You can also order homemade pastries from Norma just let her know the day before and she will have them ready very nice they are too , she does have other food and drinks to offer as well and very reasonably priced. We will definitely go back again. Oh and the pitches are a good size at the time we went it was £23 a night and electric meter @ 0.50p per unit for the whole time we was there it cost £6 . So on the whole very good price of the area , which was in easy reach of most popular attractions. The lanes near the site are mostly Singh lane but with lots of passing places. And if you like donkey’s there are two on site and love a carrot or apple if one’s going spare

Disliked It wasn’t a problem for us as site was quiet but if it was full they only have one shower and one toilet in each mens and ladies and one disabled toilet with a hand basin in same for washing up facilities only one sink but if you have your own facilities on board is won’t be and issue.
