Power optional grass tent site (XL)

Liked: On first arrival, we weren’t sure if we would enjoy how small the site was.. however, once we were welcomed and set up camp, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shilla Mill. Ali was friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent and clean. Lovely hot showers and even a washing up facility. Although small the site is wonderfully tucked away from the busy town and beach. But just a short walk away when you decide to go and explore.. There are wonderful walks nearby with stunning views. Perfect if you enjoy the peace and quiet.

Power optional grass tent site (XL)

Liked: Clean facilities and small site. It was really well organised and the hosts were really helpful. Having the picnic bench was a real bonus and we loved the fire pit. The site had so much beautiful wildlife and views and we even heard the otters. It was a short walk to the beach and shops.

Disliked: It was quite tight when it was full with all the cars in there.

Local attractions

Surf’s up at Polzeath beach, 10 minutes' walk from the site. Catching swells is the sport of choice in Polzeath, as are walks up over the pretty Pentire Point (approximately 40 minutes' walk). Keen golfers will have distant sea views as their setting at The Point at Polzeath (10 minutes' drive) too. Those of you who are looking to potter around some other coastal spots (or go for a pint or a paddle, your choice) have plenty of options. Pretty Padstow (30 minutes), Port Isaac (20 minutes) or perhaps Tintagel (30 minutes), where there’s a grand clifftop castle with legends of Merlin and Arthur to dive into. In Wadebridge (20 minutes), cycle hire will help you get out on the Camel Trail, following where an old railway used to travel through countryside and along the estuary. If that gets you wanting a bit more history, head to Pencarrow House and Garden (25 minutes) for a Grade II-listed country house and Jamaica Inn (45 minutes), which was frequented by smugglers back in the day.
