Gail A. Jun 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was even better than the photos. The owner was friendly and helpful The site has an open feel yet surrounded by trees. The pitches were of a good size and all with nice views. Very peaceful with enough facilities to make for a comfortable stay. Very clean toilets and hot showers. The dog walk area was welcome as were the honesty box provisions. A good pub 10 mins walk along quiet lane and an interesting church close by.

Disliked: Nothing

Jo l. Jun 2024

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful corner of Cornwall with a tucked away site but still close enough to town/coast. Great facilities with an eco focus including showers, toilets, ‘wash up’ sinks which were very clean with plenty of hot water. Staff were helpful and friendly and site was very reasonably priced. Dogs welcomed on a lead and a designated field to let them off for a run. Particularly liked the access to a fridge and freezer as well as a ‘swap shop’ from books to toiletries. No traditional shop but had an honesty box with a few basics including logs. Designated campfire area and bbq’s welcomed.

Disliked: Road was very narrow getting to site and if you had a very large motor home it could be difficult to get to- but our transit van had no problems. Wi-Fi was limited

Local attractions

So, to those coastlines… Cornwall’s north and south coasts are both full of gorgeous places to visit, so it’s worth making time for both. On the northern side, start with the beaches at Porthtowan (15 minutes) or Portreath (20 minutes), then head to the stunning sands of Gwithian (25 minutes). The excellent town of St Ives (half an hour) should be on the schedule too, for its mix of coast views and top-notch art galleries. Heading south instead, stop off at Pendennis Castle (20 minutes) and Trebah Garden (20 minutes) en route to the sands at Maenporth beach (15 minutes). Venture a little further and you’ll hit the spectacular Lizard Peninsula with a drive of about 40 minutes or so. For more of Cornwall’s top days out, look at Newquay Zoo (25 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes), Eden Project (45 minutes) and Land’s End (50 minutes).
