Liked: We loved it here only stayed for a couple night but it has everything you need power, toilet and cleaning facilities. Space for the kids, you can just relax. The owners are so welcoming as well and the odd visit from there lovely dogs. Liked it so much going back again the end of the month.

Liked: Such a lovely welcome from the owners, and their lovely dog! We loved staying here. Lots of space for the children to play. Peaceful, spacious, no music/wifi so back to basics - as camping should be. Great location, near to Looe, Polperro and beaches. We would love to come back. Thanks for a wonderful few days.
