Liked: The host!!! We loved Simon - so friendly, funny and interesting. He gave us great advice and a very interesting tour of his garden and explained his growing philosophy.
There is a lovely wild garden “Penjerrick Garden” in walking distance that is well worth the visit.

Liked: Good little pop up site overlooking forest garden. Short walk to single toilet and fresh water tap in parking area. Simon offers an interesting tour of the naturally sustainable garden. A timber framed building sits above the garden in a visitors area under construction. Lovely area with good walks and other gardens, beautiful country hotel next door and Trelly pub a mile away.

Liked: We stayed for 2 nights, the surroundings are very peaceful being situated on the outskirts of the garden. Simon gave us a tour of the garden one morning which was extremely interesting and engaging, highly recommend. The campsite benefits from a close proximity to Falmouth, we took the bus that goes past the campsite entrance. Lastly, Simon the host was very attentive and friendly - even lending us some levelling chocks as our campervan was on a slope. Thanks so much!
