There are excellent unisex facilities, including hot showers and a dedicated washing-up area. Take the time to relax and take in the views and sea breeze while the kids enjoy the on-site play area.

Enjoyed our brief stay and enjoyed the beautiful views and the tranquillity of the site. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day earlier than we planned as my husband was feeling unwell, so decided to cut our stay a little short and return home. So we would definitely recommend this site and would love to make a return visit some time soon. My only criticism is the facilities were a bit basic and not enough for the size of the plot, especially when the site is busier.

Things to do on site and in the Boscastle area
Boscastle is the perfect setting for picnics and short walks on the famed South West Coast Path to Warren Point. A path from the site to the church of St. Juliot, where Thomas Hardy met his future wife, is a great outing for bookworms.
From there, the Valency Valley walk will take you to pretty Boscastle, and if you don't fancy the walk back, there's a bus that will bring you to the end of the road.
For a walk that takes on incredible stretches of the coastline, join more of the South West Coast Path. For incredible waterfalls, it has to be St. Nectan's Glen and then onto historical wonders at Rocky Valley and the hideaway Bossiney Cove, just 15 minutes away.
Famous for all the right reasons is Tintagel (15 minutes by car) with its atmospheric castle and the medieval chapel up on Glebe Cliff. You can take a clifftop walk over there if you fancy it.
For beach days, it's a 10 minute trip to Crackington while Trebarwith and Bude, with all its energetic watersports options, are 15-20 minutes away. Bideford's Ultimate Activity Centre is one hour away and the perfect place to get stuck into watersports such as stand-up paddleboarding, laser tag and assault courses.
For more top Cornish sights, Padstow's harbour and seafood scene is a 50-minute drive.
A quick hour in the car will take you to the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
