Penelewey Meadows

A aimé Great site. Very quiet, simple site. Compost loo and sink very clean and all we needed on a site. Love the whole setup and ethos of this site.

N'a pas aimé Not a dislike but didn't brave the shower! Also, could do with better signage if arriving from the King Harry Ferry as we drove past the first time!

A aimé Huge spaces, total peace, clean facilities, beautiful walks, near the pub. All perfect.

N'a pas aimé Nothing....oh well I guess a plug in the sink that actually works so you can fill the sink up to wash up would be useful.

A aimé Very secluded and back to nature campsite. Composting toilet and outdoor shower that apparently got when it’s sunny (wasn’t when I visited). However, the description that Becky posted makes all this clear, so don’t book expecting a holiday camp. Close to a very nice pub and beautiful views. Becky was a fantastic host and very friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé A warm shower would have been nice after a days cycling

A aimé Such an incredible campsite, back to basics to savour the surroundings and camp properly! The local pub is just a short stroll away with fabulous food, Loe beach is a very short driven ideal spot for a sea swim after a day exploring. Being dog friendly, this place is a superb holiday for all the family including our 6 and 10 year old children who cant wait to go back. The owners are creating such a wonderful site, really looking forward to seeing it evolve. Thankyou so much, can't wait to return!

A aimé The amazing views and the crystal clear night sky.

And the peaceful atmosphere and the communal vibe especially with the communal fire circle.

N'a pas aimé The lack of bins however this is not a deal breaker for me.

A aimé The meadow was exactly as described. Basic facilities with washing up sink, solar outdoor shower and compostable toilet which worked so well. Rebecca was very helpful and went the extra mile when we were out and it was windy and our tent blew over, she made it upright again and put in some more tent pegs for us so it was secure when we got back. That was so much appreciated. I also love the future plans to continue rewilding the meadow as it is being used for a campsite.

A aimé L’installation de la tente
Le service rendu par la propriétaire pour les couvertures supplémentaires

N'a pas aimé Pas d’accueil ni de visite durant le séjour
La douche dans paravent
Les toilettes proposé mais trop étroites
Le champ trop grand où on se sent perdu

Réponse du gestionnaire : Liked: Setting up the tent
The service provided by the owner for additional coverage

Disliked: No reception or visit during the stay
Shower in screen
The toilets offered but too narrow
The field too big where we feel lost

I'd first like to say thank you for your review, we like to take on people's comments so we can learn and grow over the coming years. However, what we really appreciate is honest reviews.

The first time one of the owners visited you was to ask you not to enter the tent you were not staying in and using up all the battery so that our guests that were arriving later that day would still have some charge left. We then visited later that day but you were out and again in the evening when we clean our facilities you were also out enjoying your holiday.

I think you maybe didn't read or look at any pictures on pitchup because all of facilities are clearly stated so that everyone knows that we are a nearly wild camp site. It also clearly stated we have no reception and are a hands free camp site.

The shower is something we will take on board, next year we are having a compost heated shower with an indoor shower, it'll still be in keeping with our Wild ethos but a little more privacy.

Your last comment about the field being too big, I'm sorry, this is something we simply can't work out, the idea of Penelewey Meadows is peace, space and nature, I think maybe you wanted a busier camp site with better facilities but for our price.

A aimé Very quite, we weren't bothered by anyone. The compost toilet was exceptionally clean. There's plenty of toilet roll in there too. There's a little sink next to it with hand wash and washing up liquid. The scenery is lovely. We had our bbq going till late. It was a great night! We're definitely going back. 😁

A aimé Relaxed campsite with a friendly host. There was a lot of space between pitches, which were flat, and the composting toilet was easy to use. Good instructions for using the shower and solar lights around the campsite were helpful. Close to Truro. Great walks straight from the campsite. A pub a short walk away. We were able to borrow blocks so I could have a BBQ. Dog friendly.

N'a pas aimé Fine for me but be aware you may not get warm/hot shower water if it isn't sunny.
