Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Had the most perfect weekend, thank you Royal Standard- we’ll be back
Electric gravel and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really friendly owners with a real welcoming vibe about the place.
Location!! Absolutely amazing location in a little village so close to Hayle - brilliant hub to visit right into Cornwall.
The art work on the shower/toilet containers were quirky and cool.
Well kept grounds with large pitches- even though almost all electric pitches were occupied the first night of our stay, you would barely know as there’s a decent amount of space that the sound doesn’t travel far.
The local wildlife, particularly the tawny owls at night and swallows in the morning we could hear.
Everything
Disliked Not so much of a dislike, but a suggestion. I know the site are planning on getting more toilets/showers, which is very much needed especially in peak season, but it would be good to have separate toilets to the showers. At times, you’d have both showers occupied which meant there were no toilets available until the person showering was done- felt like forever when you needed the loo. Otherwise, I don’t think there is anything I’d like to change here.
