Liked: Absolutely fantastic site for a young family! Great food and drink, friendly staff, a wonderful beach a short walk from site, a petting zoo for the children and a great play area. Even the WiFi was better than most sites we’ve stopped at! Facilities are good and cleaned regularly. Pitches are laid out in several bays so feels like a smaller site. Would visit again :)
Disliked: Being really picky but the non family washrooms are “portacabin” type (although wood clad so they look in keeping with the rest of the site) so are rather small with not a lot of space to get dressed.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear you had a fantastic time with your family—especially that you enjoyed the food, play areas, petting zoo, and nearby beach. It’s great to know the WiFi and facilities hit the mark too!
We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the non-family washrooms. While we’ve done our best to make them blend in visually, we understand they can feel a bit compact, and it’s something we’ll definitely keep in mind as we continue to improve the site.
We’d love to welcome you all back again soon!
Good overall but would be concerned in height of summer for example.

Liked: Quality, location, staff and site as a whole very good indeed.
Disliked: It is heavily used by locals and day visitors so new dining facilities can be overrun by kids. An adult area would be beneficial and care needed that campers aren’t pushed out.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are a family friendly site here and welcome everyone of all ages!

Liked: Location amazing, great facilities. Bar and coffee shop and shop well stocked. Friendly staff. Great place to explore cornwall. Would recommend to others and would stay again.
Disliked: Pitch on a slight incline made difficult to put the awning against the Van. Pitch big enough though and the rest of the site more than made up for it.

Liked: The campsite was beautifully maintained. Showers and toilets clean, dog washing area a great facility. Staff friendly and food excellent. Beautiful location with a handy bus service on the doorstep. The farm animals and children's play area were both great additions and we plan to return with grandchildren in tow when they are a little older.
