Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

A basic site with small washrooms. The gent's had only two showers & two toilets with three wash hand basins. They were not very well lit, having no light switch to turn the lights on or sensor for them to come on when entering. The chemical waste was not to be found around the toilet facilities but at the bottom of the field with a long walk if you were at the opposite end of the site. The area is very quiet being down a country lane, so very little traffic noise which was nice. We found the field got very wet when it rained, with lots of surface water that did not drain very well and had a problem getting our motorhome off the pitch when we decided to leave. We left a day early as the weather got really bad and found another site with hardstanding for the last day of our holiday. The local village, St Merryn was a short walk with some nice pubs, a bakery and a convenience store which was well stocked. The local Bays were very pretty and about 2 miles away with plenty of parking. Padstow was a nice cycle ride away with the Camel trail taking you to Wadebridge which was a nice town.

Highly recommend this lovely site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Quiet site a 7 minute drive from Padstow and several beaches. Relatively simple, with it effectively being a giant field with a facilities block containing, toilets, showers along with a wash room, all super clean. There's also a small play area/fort for kids to play on. Negatives were that staff are not readily available on site if needed, though hardly an issue. A lot of the tent pitches are uneven, though not to the point we needed to move and not a deal breaker. Positives were that the site is quiet, clean and a short drive from supermarkets and Padstow and several beaches. All within 7 mins or so. Also, the site has a huge fenced dog area, which is almost the size of the main site itself. Really, really good for dog owners looking for space to exercise their dogs. If looking for a simple and clean site, I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
