  • Quiet family-run park in the grounds of a north Cornwall hotel
  • A 15-minute drive to Port Isaac or the edge of Bodmin Moor
  • Outdoor swimming pool, games room and bar
Checking out spots to stay between the north Cornwall coast and Bodmin Moor? Then it might be time to check in at Lanarth Hotel and Caravan Park, a family-run site in St Kew Highway, just off the A39. This spacious park has 10 acres of peaceful gardens to relax in, plus nicely level plots that are easy to access (so no need to stress about squeezing down those pesky West Country lanes). You also get use of the hotel's well-maintained facilities, including a games room with pool tables, a cosy fully licensed bar and an open-air pool between late May and mid-September. Holidaymakers also have a purpose-built toilet and shower block a short walk away from the pitches. There's a pub that serves hot food, a Cornish pasty shop and a hairdresser's a short distance away in the village, while those who need to stock up on groceries have supermarkets in Wadebridge (10 minutes' drive), which is also a stop-off point on the gorgeous Camel Trail. Bringing a bike here (or hiring one in town) opens up 18 miles of almost totally traffic-free vistas, so make sure to earmark a day for some relaxed backcountry pedalling. After days of exploring, once back at base you could chill around a barbecue, order a nightcap at the bar or simply take advantage of the low levels of light pollution and gaze up at the night sky…

Electric optional grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: Lovely well maintained site, very pretty area, the peacocks are beautiful. Easy to get to, sat nav took us straight to the entrance.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: The Local was great for getting to Padstow, Harlyn beach and the campus ng grounds were good. We liked the peacocks walking around. The showers and toilets were clean. The pool was very cold but the children enjoyed it. We have a lovely stay. Thanks

Disliked: That there is no laundry and we should have bought a line with us to hang out wet clothes after swimming and showers. Thought a mat by the shower facility entrance would be good. Wifi signal wasn't great but we managed.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Really lovely family run campsite, clean, quiet, lots of trees and nature and obviously the peacocks are great. Pool was a little chilly for me but the kids did not mind at all. The bar is a lovely little extra if you enjoy a freshly pulled pint. Very close to Rock beach which is a must to visit, we used the driving range and cafe just up the road too. Would stay again as great value for money

Electric optional grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: A truly wonderful place. First time staying here and we will definitely be returning. Easy to find, and great access to town, shops and beaches. Site has a lovely atmosphere, Steve was so helpful and accommodating, good facilities available and clean. Nice bar with pool and air hockey. Outside pool which the kids loved. A family friendly, reasonably priced little get away! Thankyou so much for having us 😊

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely clean site, clean toilets and showers and plenty for the size of site. Steve and his lady are fab, always happy to help. Really good size pitches, plenty of space. Beautiful cheeky peacocks roaming around. Fab quiet site with good driving access to beaches, Camel trail, Wadebridge, Polzeath and Rock. Wadebridge 5 minutes away. Central so easy to get anywhere in Cornwall. Outdoor pool and bar a bonus.

Local attractions

Almost opposite the site is Saint Kew Golf Course (two minutes' drive), a 4550-yard-long course with a driving range that welcomes both adult and junior players. (If your golf isn't up to much, there's also a farm shop and cosy café next door.) For other active jaunts, you could feel the wind in your hair by walking on the splendid South West Coast Path (15 minutes) or lope over rugged Bodmin Moor (15 minutes), perhaps venturing out to famed 18th-century smuggling haunt Jamaica Inn (30 minutes). For beaches, you could launch a trip to Newquay (30 minutes), where a mixture of sandy shores, surf culture and classic arcades pretty much guarantees good times all round. There's also an assortment of more low-key beach spots like Polzeath (20 minutes), Harlyn (25 minutes) and, if you fancy sampling the south coast, Lantic Bay (50 minutes). Inspired by the site's leafy layout? The Eden Project (30 minutes) and similarly world-class gardens like The Lost Gardens Heligan (45 minutes) are within easy reach. Finally, there's potential for day trips full of Arthurian heritage at Tintagel Castle (30 minutes).
