Liked: Absolutely everything. Mike & Jayne area awesome. So friendly and welcoming from the moment of arrival. We had issues with our van and Mike couldn't do enough to help us. Oh, and the carrot cake was to die for. The showers and toilets were also spotless...honestly, cannot fault anything.
Disliked: The crazy drivers on the main road.

Liked: The host - we actually thought it was going to be a very judgemental place but actually we were so wrong. Loved it here. The host was actually so funny and nice and the facilities were clean ! Flat pitch and loads of space ( two with a tent ). Water temperature on the shower was great also.
Disliked: The wind ( nothing to do with the site )

We pride ourselves on keeping the site clean and tidy and running smoothly and appreciate the feedback that we get. We hope you will recommend us to your friends and visit again in the future.

Liked: It's always a gamble booking somewhere you haven't been before but we certainly won the golden ticket. Mike the owner is very helpful and friendly. He shared where best local businesses we needed, especially the best local pasty! The site is a large field where pitches are all around the perimeter leaving the centre free. There is also other pitches in smaller areas. The facilities were spotless being cleaned regularly by Mike and Jayne themselves. They should be proud of what they've achieved. Thank you for making our holiday enjoyable, and yes we will be back if we're coming back to Cornwall anytime.
Disliked: My daughter thought a waste bin would be useful in the shower cubicle similar to the ones in the toilets, but just a suggestion.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad that your gamble paid off for you and you felt like you had ‘won the golden ticket’ and that we helped to make your holiday enjoyable. Thank you for your daughter’s suggestion re bins in the showers. We have actually done this in the past but found that they ended up being abused and used for dumping all sorts, such as food, broken glass, rather than putting it in the bigger bins by the gate, which we felt was a health and safety risk. We hope you do come to lovely Cornwall in the future. Jayne and Mike 😀
