Perfect CL site for travelling to Cornwall
Lovely and peaceful. Jane was very friendly from booking and checking on myself and my husband during our 2 night stop off. Everything you could need for off grid stay. Close enough to A30 but no traffic noise. A couple of hard standing pitches too with grass pitches as well.... Show more

PEACE AND QUIET
We spent 17 days here off grid with 100w solar panel and we had no problems. Not far from A 30 easy access. Friendly and helpful owner. Coop in village, veg shop and excellent butchers. Handy to visit a wide area. Will return if in area.
