Real Glamping at the Fir Hill

Liked: The most beautiful setting and atmosphere.
The host was top notch and the Apple juice was divine😉
The site here is impressive, you have everything you need and more. What’s makes it more is you are away from all the busy side of Newquay making it peaceful yet only a short drive if you want to get into the town.
The beaches around Newquay and the surrounding area are breathtaking.

Disliked: Nothing. You are a fool not to stay.

From the manager: The yurt was rented by a group of girls who were attending the Boardmasters Festival (which is less than 4 miles away). They arrived on a perpetually drizzly day but the manager’s first impressions were positive as they were jovial and appeared to listen to the manager’s introduction/induction to the site and yurt (we do spend at least 20 minutes going through the facilities, house rules (do and don’t etc…).
At 8.45 the manager received a texted complaint from one their yurt neighbours about loud music and singing coming from the girls’ yurt. The manager went to investigate and asked the girls politely to turn the music down and end the music completely by 10pm in respect of their neighbours who had complained (indeed this is one of the house rules).
Whilst chatting to them through the open yurt door, the manager noticed that they were eating (against our most important yurt rule) and noticed there were several empty cider cans. However some of the girls immediately apologised and the manager thought this was the end of the matter.
20 minutes after the visit to the girls’ yurt, the manager got a loud bang on the reception door and was confronted by a drunken lady stating very firmly she was a responsible nurse and as it was raining outside, they had no option to eat and drink inside their yurt.
The manager pointed out that during their induction he had pointed several sheltered areas where they could have “partied’ without disturbing others. She showed no interest in being shown our facilities again and walked back to her yurt.

Liked: Very peaceful and super scenery

Liked: The yurt was beautiful, and the whole site was lovely. Our spot was extremely private, the firepit and kitchen facilities outside were lovely. Charlie made us feel so welcome before we'd even arrived and all communication was extremely helpful and friendly - to be honest, as a host he probably makes the holiday. It was such a nice treat to have our own water supply and cool box/packs provided, spare gas etc if needed. There was really nothing we needed to ask for but we got the feeling that nothing would have been too much trouble. Can't recommend highly enough for a peaceful getaway with a little bit of luxury.

Disliked: Not at all a dislike - but as we were glamping (for the first time) and usually camp in our own tent and never get electric hook up, it would have been nice just for a change to have a plug in the yurt - but understand the want to be off-grid still.

Liked: The yurts are so much better than the bell tents that are the usual glamping offering. They are so much more spacious, stay cool (or warm) because they are insulated and keep most of the insects out. They are also constructed on decking which keeps them a lot cleaner inside especially in wet weather (it was wet during our stay but we were still nice and dry all the time). The estate is a great place with the yurts a good distance apart offering lots of privacy. The children loved exploring and with no roads nearby it os safe for them to do so. Great clean warm toilet/bathroom facilities as well - we had a dedicated bathroom for our Yurt so didnt have to share! Host was very welcoming and went the extra mile for his guests. highly recommended.

Liked: Ok. So, the Real Glamping lives up to its name. I have been on many camping trips, but this one will hold special memories. Our 8-year-old boys and our 14-year-old niece loved every minute.

Amazing views, Quality yurts, comfortable beds, we got our private bathroom in the main house. It is a perfect location with a 15-minute drive from the beaches. We had amazing nights on our private section of the grounds with a massive log firepit, which was Ideal for barbeques and Marshmallows. It also kept us warm whilst we gazed up at the stars.

However, this site's heart and soul is a guy we can now call a friend. Charlie.

Charlie took care of us before we started our journey to Cornwall and greeted us with open arms. He provided us with many options from his wealth of knowledge of Cornwall and ensured we were very comfortable and safe.

I highly recommend.

Disliked: I wish we had stayed longer.

Liked: Yurt is nice, the setting is great and friendly atmosphere. Outside area is excellent when dry and nothing better than a fire pit

Disliked: Although there is electricity it’s in the main house so no charging at the yurt. Power is eco friendly no dryers for those with long hair
