Mixed feelings about it
Mawgies 1 bedroom cabin (hot tub)
Liked The accommodation is out of this world ! So peaceful and everything you need !
It’s lovely having the llamas outside and the hot tub and setting just adds to it!
The bar/ refreshment area was lovely and all the staff are incredible
All the animals on site are a lovely touch and its very family orientated
Disliked We had arranged parking but on the Friday night our parking was taken by some people at a yoga session ! The parking is part of the accommodation so it was a little bit of an inconvenience but .. the staff sorted it very well!
Also on our last day we were having a quite chilled afternoon when the owner and some of his guests approached the accommodation and opened the door !! Our dog went crazy ha … and all he could say was “he didn’t think it was booked” .. kind of out on edge a little and made us think he had no idea who was staying on his site …
Don’t boom thinking you can use the hot tub .. we tried every night and spent extra on logs but it never got over tepid !

I will return, this was perfect.
The Potting Barn cabin
Liked This place is stunning. A great location close to all the bays like Mawgan Porth, Watergate and Porthcothan. The interior is stunning and cosy. It was really clean and the private garden and parking space was a lovely touch. Great shower and storage was good considering it is small. The outdoor shed was a nice addition for the wetsuits and water shoes. Opposite the park and farm animals. A 1 minute walk to the Smoke and Fire eatery. Just amazing

Liked Lovely site park amazing for kids. Massive plus having the restaurant and bar
Disliked Shower toilet facilities really poor. Poorly organised and not the cleanest. Like port a cabins from inside and the family disabled shower no room for clothes and put towels not family friendly. The path to get to the showers wasn’t disabled friendly.

Liked Location is lovely. Clean and tidy.
Disliked I would say the site is aimed more for tents. The entrance is a bit tight for caravans! Not enough showers! Food is great but a bit over priced!

Liked We loved the site very family friendly the kids loved the park!! Pitches were a decent size, great location bus stopped just outside of needed.
We loved the live music in the bar area and the baby’s toys area!!
Disliked Food onsite was very expensive and the service was very slow one morning I waited over 40 minutes for granola and toast!
Not enough toilets and showers we had to wait quite a lot for availability

Great family site.
Powered grass tent or campervan site (small)
Liked Beautiful site, spacious pitches and great location.
Restaurant and cafe was great with good variety of food and drinks.
Added touches of being able to use board games area for little ones to play with a large choice of toys.
Spacious outdoor area with football net and good play area/park for kids.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The food however is over priced and could do with being reduced a little but was good quality.
The toilets and showers are clean and it has the added extra of 4 family shower rooms, although doesn’t seem a lot of toilets and showers for the size of the site we never had to queue.
Great location, and the local bus stops right outside the campsite which runs between Newquay and Padstow.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Powered grass site (large)
Liked The farm was quirky and great entertainment for adults and children, specifically the goats. Loved the size of the site, not too overcrowded. The site felt safe. The size of the pitch was perfect and level. Great clean facilities and an excellent location for the 7 bays.
Disliked The food was overpriced for what you got althoughit was tasty. No dedicated on arrival parking for tourers. There was a spot but this was filled with cars even though there was a dedicated car park. We had to park up round the corner next to people's tents so we could check in.

Great site, especially for families with younger children.

Unpowered grass site (large)
Liked Everything! Great, clean facilities and the family shower rooms were a bonus. Brilliant park and sports area, animals to keep the little ones amused and the ping pong and pool table were great! Bar area was great, relaxed vibe, board games for kids, big tv, live music nights and quizzes through the week. Food was excellent too!
Disliked Nothing! Just a few more toilets and showers for high season maybe!
