Kestle View
View prices & book
- Simple, peaceful Cornwall pop-up site 15 minutes’ drive from Newquay
- Fistral surfing beach 15 minutes’ drive; Holywell Bay 20 minutes
- Views over Kestle Valley and woodland pitches; pubs 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, still leaving masses of space for kids to be kids. And amenities stretch only to loos; there is no hot water or electricity available (come prepared with bottled water and torches) so your stay will certainly be an adventure without lots of modern amenities.
When you’re feeling like really going wild, there’s woodland at the bottom of the field with several suitable spots for pitching up. You can also pitch alongside the small river running through the farm, exercise any family dogs (or the kids) on waterside walks or choose shady spots overlooking the river for family picnics.
Newquay supermarkets and pubs are 15 minutes’ drive, it’s easy to get to the local surfing beaches, and there’s a board shop within five minutes’ stroll. If you’re on public transport, there’s a bus stop in Kestle Mill (10 minutes’ walk) and a railway station in Quintrell Downs (15 minutes) as well as a small supermarket and several pubs.
