  • Lively family park five minutes' drive from the coast at Looe
  • Huge range of facilities including cabaret room, bar, diner and café
  • Indoor pool, toddlers' pool, swim lessons, sports room and shop
‘We’re all going on a summer holiday…’ And a spring, autumn and, er, winter one too… At Tencreek Holiday Park, the nearest park to lovely Looe in Cornwall, you and the family can arrive in all seasons as a base for the best of south-east Cornwall and Devon, or just stay on site to spoil yourselves silly with the lashings of facilities and entertainment for all ages. And the views are pretty tenfastic too… Tencreek is aimed at families and couples, and as such has any number of tiptop things to try: a kids’ club just for starters, and an adventure playground and sports pitch for small sorts to whirl around outside. More grownuply, the park also has the Castaway entertainment complex with large cabaret room, bar, Deano’s Diner and indoor sports room with darts and pool; there's also family entertainment every night from the Yellow Coats and Tencreek mascots. Don’t forget the dog either: the park is dog friendly and has a dog walking area with access to the public footpath. If it rains, the kids won’t even notice once you get them to the heated indoor pool and toddlers’ pool, which are also open all year and free to use (there are classes such as Aquafit and kids’ swimming lessons available at a small additional charge). The thoughtful folk at Tencreek have ensured that the pool is always lifeguarded, and there are even adults-only sessions at times, if you can manage to get the kids dried off and packed off for a bit… The park also has a fully-stocked food shop, a café with takeaway and a modern laundry.

Liked The takeaway
Lots of things for kids to do.

Disliked Very noisy. If your after a quiet stay not recommended. Was booked for 3 nights. Only stayed 2. Could not get a decent night's sleep.
All the tents are back to back and very close together.
No respect for other campers. If the kids are not screaming there heads off at 11 o'clock at night it's the parents and the music.
Was pitched right opposite the toilets. Disturbed everytime someone used the hand dryer. Light from the toilets shines right into tent.
Cars coming and going at all times in the evening.
Showers were freezing.
Toilets always full of paper or poo. Due to the kids not flushing.
Payed for WiFi. Kept dropping out every 2 min.
Should be a rule of keeping the noise down after 9pm. Most other campsites have this rule. It's being polite and respectful to other campers.

Peter V.

Electric grass pitch (maximum 6 metres)

Liked Cleanliness, accessability, onsite store, well stocked. Staff welcoming and helpful. Layout excellent.

Disliked Gravelled access ramp to toilet block. I was scared I would slip. Suggest that maybe steps are put in next to ramp, which would allow easier access. Kids used ramp as a speedway.
More checks through out day as some people are set on blocking toilets, spreading toilet tissue everywhere etc.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely big pitches
Clean facilities
Beautiful view from our pitch

Disliked Not so much a dislike, but could recommend the pitch boundary lines be clearer, as couldn't see the outline and had an issue with the next door neighbours parking within our pitch as there tent was so massive. Some of the showers didn't work so was limited on what ones to use

Paige A.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Very spacious pitches, lovely views. Very clean. Staff was very friendly.

Disliked We had the Sunday carvery,probably the worst carvery we have ever had cost us £60 for none us to eat it. The gravy was like water. Not much choice of veg everything was bland. There was either a choice of a chicken fillet or beef. I had the beef and it tasted very funky. We was very disappointed.

Swimming pool changing rooms smelt like urine.

Liked Toilets super clean and warm, Shop reasonably priced, Clubhouse bar prices again reasonably priced and entertainment for all ages. Grand daughter particularly loved the swimming pool. We enjoyed everything about the site, especially the location, nicely placed between Polperro and Looe and in walking distance of both.

Local attractions

Oodles of activities and attractions await once you’ve dragged yourself off site: pootle around Looe’s Harbour Quay, Banjo Pier and the 16th-century Old Guildhall in East Looe, or take a boat to Looe (St George’s) Island, where just once a year on a very low tide it’s possible to stroll to it across the sand. Sea-based sightseers can go from Looe to Fowey and take the ferry to Polruan or Bodinnick and the former house of Daphne du Maurier (Daphne and Rebecca fans can also go ghost hunting at Cornwall’s legendary coaching house at Bodmin Moor, said to be the county’s most famous smuggling inn). Most day trippers take a car for the 12-mile Looe-Fowey journey, but if you’re feeling energetic enough and want to see some stunning coastal scenery, the local South West Coast Path hike goes from West Looe to Polruan via Hannafore, Talland Bay and Polperro. You officially have full permission to get a bus or taxi back…
