Lorne A.

Bell tent (basic, no pets)

Liked Such a pleasant experience from the moment we booked. I realised instantly that I’d booked the wrong tent, Jen was extremely helpful when informing her we had never been camping before and she gave me lots of information and even offered to swap our tent with another person (who was use to camping). The bell tents were beautiful and were spacious enough for us as a family of 4 with 2 younger children. The beds were comfy too. The whole site was extremely clean and nothing was too much trouble for Jen or her husband. There was a little play area in the middle where all the children could play. We are so glad we chose this campsite for our first ever camping experience. We will most definitely go camping again.

Liked Had a fantastic couple of days should have been longer but due to unexpected circumstances it had to be cut short. Hope to return next year and do all the things we didn't get to do this time.

Bell tent (no pets)

Liked The campsite really provided a great out of the way location that felt like we were away from the hustle and bustle of life. It was clean, spacious and not crowded, which meant our kids could run around and have fun, and play games like cricket. I also liked the fact that animals were allowed. This specifically reduced one of the stressed families with pets usually face. The staff were friendly and made an effort to ensure that the facilities were clean and tidy. Our tent looked great, and was spacious inside, with some extras added, like candles and lights. It just felt like a place where one could go and relax, and it served as a good base for touring, and shops were nottoo far away. We made use of the fire pits provided, for cooking and toasting marshmallows!

Disliked Each tent had its own kitchen with facilities. Whilst this was great, the kitchens themselves are quite limited in space.
As is always the case in the UK, weather can play a part in an experience. It was great that the tents were waterproof, but it was difficult to get things like towels and rain jackets to dry, and there was no facilities for this. the tents could not accommodate this. I would recommend visitors bring their own drying rack to dry clothes.

Local attractions

Join the surf brigade at Porthtowan beach (10 minutes’ drive)… the coast takes a lot of the limelight in Cornwall, and it’s easy to see why. Perhaps you’ll want to take part in the tradition of bellyboarding on wooden boards at the National Trust’s Chapel Porth beach (10 minutes) or take on the super surf break on Portreath beach (15 minutes). For more surfs or walks and horse rides along the sand, Perranporth beach (15 minutes) might be up your alley. Other top coastal spots for a wander include the St Agnes Heritage Coast (10 minutes) for remains of tin and copper mines, the St Agnes Beacon (10 minutes) and the handsome harbour by Trevaunance Cove (10 minutes). Now that you’ve taken in some of the mining heritage, discovering the art of Cornish cider could be up next - Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm (10 minutes) runs tours and samplings. For more historical type places, there are steam train rides on the Lappa Valley railway (25 minutes) or Truro city centre (15 minutes) for a Victorian cathedral and the Royal Cornwall Museum.
