Ik was blij met The bell tent was better than I expected. It was nicely furnished with a proper bed, bedside tables, a table at the end of the bed, a rug and a log burner (although it was far too warm for us to use it), so it felt much more comfortable than normal camping. The campsite has lovely views out over St Austell and towards the sea, and it's in a really good location for exploring mid-Cornwall. We found it to be fairly quiet overall, and the lady cleaning the facilities was really friendly.

Ik was niet blij met The biggest downside was the facilities. There were only two combined shower and toilet rooms serving the bell tents, emperor tents, campervans and camping pitches. Because the showers and toilets are combined, if someone's having a shower and someone else needs the loo, it can create queues. From our bell tent it was quite a walk to the toilets, showers and washing-up area, and some of the accommodation was even further away. Although the campsite is generally peaceful, it's next to an A-road so you do hear motorbikes at times, particularly in the evenings. You can also hear concerts from the Eden Project quite clearly. We actually thought that was quite fun, but if you're looking for complete peace and quiet it's worth bearing in mind. The arrival information could also be clearer. The website says to ring when you arrive, so because we thought we might be late I called in advance. I was then told it was self check-in anyway, so we could simply have arrived whenever we wanted. It wasn't a big issue, but the information could be more consistent. I also phoned beforehand to ask about cooking on the fire pit and was told logs were available, so I bought briquettes on the way. When we arrived, we found the logs were £7.50 a bag. If I'd known that beforehand, I'd have bought logs from the shop as well. The bags also contained some oversized and partly burnt logs, so they didn't feel like great value. The beds could also be sturdier. They creaked a lot and one corner of the slatted base dropped through when weight was put on the edge. It was easy enough to fix, but they could definitely do with being a bit more solid. Better lighting in the bell tents would also be a nice improvement.
