Family-friendly site with fishing lakes 15 minutes’ drive from Newquay
Mawgan Porth five minutes’ drive; Springfield Fun Park 15 minutes
Children’s playground; resident farm animals; farm shop; launderette

Be sure to pack your trusted rod for your stay at Penvose Farm Holidays, a working farm on the edge of Cornwall Airport Newquay, with four coarse fishing lakes. And the best thing (or one of the best things, at least) about staying here is that your loved ones will also have plenty to keep them occupied while you sit by the water, waiting for carp and perch to bite, your canine friend snoozing gently by your side. (There is a small fee for dogs, but they are welcome here, provided they are well behaved around the livestock.) A children’s playground has a wooden climbing structure, swings and slides; the large grassy meadow is also a top spot for riding a bike or kicking a ball around. Then, of course, there’s the spectacular beaches of North Cornwall. Within a short drive are Mawgan Porth (five minutes), a sheltered sandy triangle at the mouth of the River Menalhyl; and neighbouring Porth Beach and Newquay (both 15 minutes, separated by the rocky Glendorgal Headland). Rockpools line the former, set within a deep inlet, while Newquay is renowned for its surfing waves. The South West Coast Path runs along all of these beaches, and a clifftop hike might lead to vantage points with stunning sea views – or to traditional Cornish pubs where you can stop for refreshments. A small farm shop at the site sells bits and bobs for the barbecue; there are also several supermarkets within a 10-minute drive, not to mention heaps of restaurants in both Newquay and Padstow (25 minutes). Other amenities on site include hot showers, a launderette and a communal fridge freezer.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We had a such a lovely, warm welcome. Felt at ease straight away & there was even a little “tuck shop” style shop in the reception for all the essentials you may forget.
The shower / toilet / pot wash facilities were immaculate also.
Will definitely be returning.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: All well signposted, the little fame shop next to reception has pretty much everything you need to stay on the site! The toilets&showers were clean and everyone was friendly.

Disliked: Due to the weather the field became quite sodden so had to park in the electric pitch but the experience was still great.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Family run site, they couldn't do enough to help, lent us cool blocks when ours weren't frozen enough. They gave us the key to the disabled toilet on arrival so we could use it to shower our son (12 months) it made it so much easier.
The airport is right next door and watching the planes as they come in to land and just after they have taken off was an added extra interest, the planes don't fly after 9pm so sleeping isn't an issue, our son slept through the evening ones after the first night.
The little play area is lovely, our son loves tractors so the wooden tractor got his attention.
If you like fishing, you can use the lakes there.
There are beaches nearby, we visited Mawgan Porth on the first night, but we chose tourist attractions instead, as our son likes to by busy. (Dairyland isn't far and is amazing, we spent 2 days there!)

The site had everything we needed it was a perfect holiday.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Really liked staying in the 20 acre field, lots of space and next to the airport which wasn't too busy. Would be able to see different planes taking off. Quiet and nice with not having to be really close to other people. Bus stop from right outside the site straight into Newquay. Taxi's decently priced back to the campsite if waning to be out later.

Liked: Great site, fantastic bathrooms (love the music) quiet relaxing site would definitely recommend and visit again!

Disliked: Nothing it was perfect for what we wanted.

One suggestion in the toilets after showering it would be useful for there to be a bench outside the shower cubicle to put shoes on where it’s dry.
