The Old Stables Campsite

Liked The whole campsite suited us and we loved our pitch. I liked the rows of individual loos and showers.

From the manager: Many thanks for your review. We are glad that you found that the campsite suited you and you loved your pitch. We also love that the toilets and showers are individual, as this makes it so much easier for cleaning.

We hope you will stay with us again in the future.

Liked Good facilities, nice range of food available - although we’re a family of coeliacs so couldn’t test that out.
Good wetsuit cleaning facilities.

Disliked Attitude of the gent running it. When our children lost their ball in the hedge behind the tent he angrily told us they had been climbing all over them. Children generally respond better to explanation why they can’t do something rather than being shamed. Our children have been taught not to leave litter so are uncomfortable that there is now forever plastics in amongst the banks.
I also informed him one evening that the women’s toilets were blocked and he just humphed at me twice. No “thanks for informing me”, just hunched twice and walked off. His wife was lovely.
There was also dog poo on the grass, would benefit from greater rules for dog owners, lots of blind eyes to keeping dogs on leads and lots of barking through the night.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It’s great that you found the facilities clean and the wet suit cleaning wash down area good.

It’s such a shame you did not try the food van, as she does offer food that is suitable for coeliacs and would have gladly catered for you.

I am sorry that you felt that Mike was temperamental, but he witnessed your children from 1/2 way across the field walking along the hedge stamping down the growth. Yes, he did ask your children to get off hedge, but most definitely didn’t shame them. I totally agree with you that children respond better to an explanation and as they are your responsibility, Mike came to find you to explain that the hedge is a Natural Habitat Corridor and crucial for maintaining biodiversity.

The responsibility of parents to supervise their children at all times includes escorting younger family members to the toilet, which doesn’t always happen and then the toilets get blocked, because they are not being flushed. This then leaves them in a state that renders them unusable by anybody else. So when you came to Mike and told him about the blocked toilet, yes he did shrug his shoulders but would like to point out that he also Thanked you and commented that it’d was that time of year.

Also like children, any animals on site are the owners responsibility, not ours and If we see or are made aware of dogs off leads or barking, we most definitely do not turn a blind eye, we ask their owners to put them on a lead, as we are not keen on having to pick up dog mess. During your stay, we had no reports any dog mess, dogs off the lead, or barking and with all the best will in the world when the site is busy, its almost impossible to always be able to see everything thats going on. We have to rely that our T’s and C’s have been read and are respected by our guests.

Please reassure your children, that when the hedges die back at the end of the season, we dutifully remove all the plastic and litter that has been left on them. We realise that our site is not for everyone and we really hope that you find a site in the future that better suits your needs.

Liked I really liked this campsite and would 100% stay again. Super easy to find, super friendly and small campsite which meant it was really peaceful and comfortable to stay as a solo traveller. Super close drive to Godrevy and some lovely walks/cafes/pubs nearby.

Disliked The only downside as a solo traveller was having nowhere to tie my dog near the shower/toilet block apart from a plank of wood that moved/came away from the block very easily. This is only for solo travellers awareness and recommendation. This would definitely not put me off staying again as I loved the campsite.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the campsite a peaceful and comfortable place to be for a solo traveller.

We will 100% put the place to tie a dog on our list to do, it’s a great recommendation and one that is easily remedied. We had hoped by now to have rails by the toilets which would have been ideal.

We hope that you will visit us again in the future 😁
