Liked: We absolutely loved the site it was exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet with lovely open space outside of the tent for children to play. We stayed in the second field (not the one with the shop). Great location perfect to access lots of lovely places in Cornwall such as Perranporth, Newquay, St Ives and Padstow, and also close to Truro town centre.
We had a corner pitch which was bigger than others which was perfect for us. The electric hook up was further away than what we are used to but Stephen loaned us a cable.
Disliked: Our field and pitch was one of the closest to the road, and it could sometimes be loud during the night but we didn’t struggle to sleep. We would possibly ask to have the opposite corner of the field next time so we are further away from the road.

Clover bell tent
Liked: The clover tent was very clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were very clean and no ques for showers etc.
Outdoor movie night was a great idea for the children.
Disliked: Outdoor kitchen on the clover tent as the wind was high but this is no fault of primrose farm

Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked: Good site with pitches clearly set out. No issues with noise or disturbance.
Good bathroom facilities with hot showers.
The site has a morning cafe offering pastries and a bar selling real ales until 10.30pm.
They allow fires and bbqs, which is great.
It’s not on the beach but is close to Truro and all its facilities, and it is convenient to visit lots of places on both the north and south Cornwall coast.
Disliked: The only real point is that checkout is early, by 10.30, although this doesn’t seem to be too strictly enforced to give a bit of leeway.
There was a bit of noise from the nearby road at night but I only noticed it on the first night. It certainly wasn’t loud enough to be a problem.

Liked: What a great find! We searched a lot of camp sites in this area and so glad we went with this one. A great family friendly vibe. Nice and spacious pitches, with a big area for the kids to play and enjoy themselves. Very relaxed site, and quiet in the evenings. Facilities were great, we only ever used the older facilities that were clean, with nice powerful showers, we were advised that the newer shower blocks were more spacious. Great location for exploring. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Liked: Very accommodating owners that answered any questions we had prior to arrival and nothing seemed to much trouble. We stayed here as a group with two other families with young children, there was Plenty of room for them to run around and play. The pitches were excellent sizes and all very level we had three pitches all together and was ample room to set them up how we wanted. Exceptional facilities! Very modern and The showers were hot at all times of the day with plenty of power. The cubicles were a great size with plenty of room for hanging clothes and towels without them getting wet. Great central location for getting to west or east coast just 20 mins or less in each direction and just under an hour to north or south Cornwall. The onsite shop/reception/bar/cafe was well stocked and reasonably priced. We have always stayed on a different site each year we have been to Cornwall and this is by far the best we have stayed on yet! 100% will be returning. Thanks for such a great holiday!
Disliked: There was absolutely nothing to dislike about this site. The only feedback I would like to give is to potentially add a family bathroom with a small bath, as we had a couple of baby’s/toddlers in the group. this is genuinely the only thing I can think that this site didn’t have.

Clover bell tent
Liked: Everything. The kids loved visiting the animals every morning. The central location of the site made the majority of Cornwall accessible in under an hour of driving. On site coffee shop/bar. All the facilities and amenities. Smaller site makes it more relaxed without sacrificing facilities. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.
Disliked: Erm..... The weather?
