Liked: This is a fantastic site. It is peaceful and has easy access to the beach. My son was particularly pleased with the fire pits as he’d been looking forward to a camp fire. The toilet and shower facilities are slightly basic but they are regularly kept clean and they perfectly adequate. Finally, the owners were a lovely pair who were warm, welcoming and very helpful. I really can’t wait to stay again.

Liked: Fabulous small quiet campsite in a beautiful valley , a short walk to the beach and next to a babbling brook and lovely woodland walk . New and very clean toilet&sink blocks and same for the showers ( clever use of modern sheds to make the cubicles ) . Clean tidy covered sink washing area , drinking water tap and outdoor shower for wetsuits and swimmers . Each site has it own picnic bench and there were fire pits and the on site team sold wood if you needed it . Nice late check out of 12:00 so got to enjoy a morning there to on check out day . Ali and James were very welcoming and helpful. I took my dog who was very welcomed by the owners and who loved the proximity of the stream and woodland walks . Wonderful stay and I can’t wait to go back .

Liked: The location; it is 10 minutes walk from the beach but it is also quiet and sheltered. The campsite is small (we had the site to ourselves for a couple of nights), the pitches are large. All the facilities are great, the showers are excellent. The setting is lovely, it is great to camp with the sound of a babbling brook. Ali and James are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The two of us and our dog loved our stay at Shilla Mill and we will definitely be back again

Liked: We are so glad we found Shilla Mill, which only has 4/5 pitches, so it was like having your own personal camp site. The location is idyllic at the end of a narrow lane, and has great history with the old house being dated 1591. Just a couple of hundred yards walk from Polzeath beach which is a surfers heaven. The site is level with hard standing for vehicles right next to your tent, but a little uneven in places but that doesn’t really affect comfort. The area is so close to nature with Owls, heard at night, and we had beautiful star gazing with no light pollution. We were greeted by Ali and James who are so friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. The facilities were very clean and fresh, with excellent dish washing facility, two toilets and two showers which were lovely and warm. There is strong Wi-Fi available and also electric hook up for all pitches. Just be aware we did encounter a fox who was snooping around our tent early one morning, so don’t leave food or bin bags out in the open. It was lovely to see him up close but I wasn’t so happy as he tried to run off with our washing up sponge!! (Laughing). Great place to explore the coast with lovely walks, out favourite being over to Daymer Bay then catch the ferry to Padstow. If you’re looking for a secluded site where you’re made to feel special - this is it.
Disliked: None what so ever.
