Polzeath bell tent
Liked: Spacious bell tent which was well fitted. The firepit was fun to have a campfire outside our tent. Bathroom facilities were a short walk away. Nice filter coffee for breakfast. Beautiful, peaceful location. Owners friendly and helpful. Lovely to see the chicken with her chicks roaming around, cuteness overload!
Disliked: The bed in the bell tent wasn't level, could've done with the sight being levelled out better. Lots of spiders and spiderwebs in the roof, which didn't look like it had been cleaned for some time. Bathroom facilities weren't always that clean. Breakfast was adequate, but was disappointed there wasn't any pastries in the continental breakfast.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Had a wonderful stay at Penhallow House. Ian and Richard were wonderful hosts, so friendly and down to earth. They were so helpful and understanding with certain requests and changes we had to make to our stay. We want to say a big thankyou to these wonderful hosts for being so lovely and welcoming.

Harlyn 1 bedroom camping pod (double)
Liked: Everything!
The pod was so warm and toasty! The fridge was very handy.
The electric blanket was amazing and made me realize I need one of these in my life!
Loved there was tea and coffee available all day and instant hot water! Everything we needed for our stay.
Great location, 25 mins from truro, 15 mins from newquay.
We had such a lovely little romantic break and this was an amazing find! The owner was very friendly and helpful. If we get another child and dog free weekend we will deffo be back! We love Cornwall and this place was the best!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!
