Gostou Great setting, fantastic view, facilities were good. You just need to have confidence in the signs, you are going the correct way. The track is a little bumpy, but well worth it.

Gostou We spent 7 nights at Boscoppa Farm so we could explore the South Coast of Cornwall.
It was the perfect place to base ourselves to visit places such as Fowey, Eden Project, Mevagissey, Charlestown and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

The hosts were really attentive for the whole time at the farm and very responsive to our needs.

The bell tents were lovely and spacious, and we loved using the stove to warm the tent up and cook at night. The double bed in the tent was so comfortable!

The views from the top of the farm were unparalleled and really made the trip. It was so nice waking up to the view and having breakfast on the picnic tables provided.

We initially booked the bell tent for 7 nights but the hosts kindly upgraded us free of charge to the barrel cabins half way through our stay as the weather turned and the cabins offer slightly better shelter.

We absolutely loved the barrel cabin - less space than the bell tents but it was so warm and cosy at night, so it really depends on your priorities over which you might prefer to book. The cabins are also closer to the toilet and shower facilities, should you need to go at night/in the dark!

Overall, we had a great time staying at the farm and can highly recommend - it is everything you need from a stay, especially for the price.

Não gostou Nothing we did not like really, but a few minor points.

We did not always have hot water in the mornings for the shower, I think because they rely on solar panels. This also meant the lights sometimes did not come on at night when using the toilet. This is OK as you are provided with other lights/lanterns that can be used.

There was no wood available to buy from the farm for the bell tent stoves during our stay however, we bumped into the owner who kindly provided us with a big bag of dry wood to use during our first few nights.
It would be helpful to ensure wood is restocked for guests, as the tents do get cold at night without the stove. I do know wood is usually provided however, so shouldn't be an issue for anyone thinking about staying in the future.

Gostou The tents are beautiful, bed is very comfortable and the view are spectacular. Shower and toilet very clean

Não gostou No wood for the wood burning stove and it was incredibly cold - if wood is not going to be provided this should be mentioned so people can bring their own. Maybe a warmer blanket should be provided so people have the option to use it.

When we went there were 14 people on site and there are only 2 toilets and showers, so I would suggest another couple of shower/toilet units.

Do gestor: Hi Hazel,

Many thanks for your lovely review, we really appreciate you taking the time.

We do sell wood for the log burners at the campsite. We are currently in the process of putting it somewhere more obvious so guests don’t miss it.

All the best

Gostou Everything was exactly as described on the Boscoppa Farm website.
The"Keep Going!" sign was a great morale boost, just as I was losing confidence that we were still on the correct lane to get us to our pitch at the top of the camping field (with a beautiful outlook), and there was plenty of space to park up, especially since we were overnighting on the Thursday before the May Bank Holiday Weekend.
Aliki and Lawrance came to meet us as soon as we phoned to let them know we had arrived, and were extremely welcoming - a lovely couple!
The on-site WC and shower cabins (x 2) were spotless, complete with toilet paper, hot water, soap and scented diffusers.
Slightly disappointed that I can't personally review the washing-up station, as my wife had taken charge of doing the dishes (on a temporary basis, she assures me) but that also looked to be on point, as did the waste disposal facilities.
We were only there for one night, leaving early(ish) to get to the Eden Project, but the potential for spending some genuine "quiet time", surrounded by nature, the view, and some good reading material was pretty obvious.
There are no shops or pubs within hailing distance (you could, of course, make an expedition or two) so you'd be well advised to bring some consumables with you.

Gostou Lovely campsite, nice area to set up your tent next to the glamping tents. Drinking water on site and a toilet and shower block. Gorgeous view from the top! The road to the campsite is a tad bumpy but if you take it slow it’s absolutely fine. Owners very nice and responsive

Gostou What an amazingly tranquil small site! When we stayed overnight we saw Buzzards and Jays and whilst common around St Austell and Tregrehan it was amazing to watch them so close by.

Views out over St Austell Bay were superb, I recommend you take binoculars, which I forgot 😓

The facilities were very clean

You get a marvellous sense of being out of civilization but still remaining in walking distance of The Britannia Inn or Tesco/Lidl or Spar and Post Office.

Clear and friendly communication
