Higher Carthew Farm CL site in Cornwall will close this coming weekend. We have been open 5 years and numbers have been falling. Silly reviews that don't help future guests book and errors in our listing in the directory have taken their toll. I have contacted the CAMH but not had any response as yet!

It must be hard for CLs at the end of the country to attract visitors, they probably need a lot more going for them than those in other areas.

I'd have thought it easy enough to attract visitors in a popular holiday area full of tourists, PD.

True, but unfortunately this CL is not far from a four times regional cl award winning site which is going to get the first bookings I would have thought.

I am pleased to see Rowena responded, like TDA I sent a message regarding the original post. I had looked at the good reviews on the club web site and as Rowena said these can be checked out if they are adverse in any way. I didn't think of looking on ukcampsite, is there also a reporting system on there? Sorry to here of a CL closure, obviously not done lightly.

I'm surprised that a CL in such a popular area is struggling.  

I'd have thought that an adult only CL would be very popular with those who want a bit of peace and quiet, particularly during the school holidays!  

The site reviews on here are pretty good, and from the photos, the site looks lovely!  Unfortunately, the no dog policy would exclude this site from our list, but sad to see another CL closing.

So sad to see a CL closing. They are the jewel in the crown of the C&MHC and I wish you all the best in the future. I too hope you can see your way to reconsider but if not, thank you for all your hard work and dedication over the years.

I totally agree. Such a shame to see a CL closing because one or two poor reviews have put off potential visitors.

My thinking  was the less populated area compared to othere areas of the country, e.g. the midlands and the distance to travel for anything other than a long break. Also most tourist travelling to Cornwall for a holiday are looking for a coastal break.
