Perfectly Peaceful

This was a last minute booking for us over the Easter weekend on route from Devon to our home in West Cornwall. We have stayed in East Cornwall before but not on this site, we spotted it when we went to Sibleyback Lake on a previous visit to the area but my husband had been reluctant to visit due to the access route to the site but it turned out to be not as bad as he thought. We soon discovered it was more than worth the uncertainty because this site is a little piece of heaven, we felt so relaxed we didn’t leave the site during our 3 day stay. We were met but David & Suzanne who gave us a choice of 2 pitches, both very spacious with beautiful countryside views & the amount of space on the site means you can face your caravan whichever way you wish. The facilities are basic but very clean, with separate ladies & gents toilet & one unisex shower, we use our own shower so I can’t comment on that. There is a lovely secure field to exercise your dog off lead & you can walk to Sibleyback Lake or Golitha Falls from the site, 2 fantastic places to take your 4 legged family. There is a small farm shop in St Cleer the nearby village & 2 supermarkets in nearby Liskeard. We will definitely be returning to this little gem in the country.

Great little site.

This was our first visit to David and Suzanne lovely c.l.We live in west Cornwall but don't really visit the area of bodmin area much,so it was nice to spend our Easter break somewhere different.We were given a warm welcome,and David and Suzanne are very informative and can offer a wealth of information on places to visit,dog walks etc.They also provide a very interesting folder which each pitch can borrow with all you need to know regarding the site,place to eat walk etc. The site sits in beautiful countryside,you will hear all the sounds associated with it including the chickens and cockerel next door. All the facilities are close at hand are in good order.The approach roads are typical Cornish lanes,and the local seem to rush everywhere so care is needed. We very much enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

Our favourite CL

We love this site having been here twice this year and six times in total. David and Suzanne are wonderful hosts. The site is lovely with electric, toilet and shower. Fresh bread can be ordered. Local farm shop nearby. Great location for Bodmin, north and south coast. Wonderful view from sìte. Great run or walk around Siblyback reservoir from sìte. Already booked next year just in case it was full due to being so lovely. Access with caravan is fine. Best approach with caravan is from A38 rather than A30. Enjoy!

Singing in the rain !

This CL has to be in that top category ! Warmth of welcome and the very tranquil & picturesque location make it a very attractive place to be. On the southern rim of Bodmin Moor there's walking a plenty - with Siblyback close by with its 2km lakeshore path for walkers/cyclists/runners, the walk from Minions village to the Cheesewring granite tor, and the slightly precarious (rather wet/muddy during our stay) walk to Golitha Falls. Lots further afield, on the coast and inland in almost every direction, and local pubs & restaurants to explore too. All of this is detailed in an information pack when you arrive, courtesy of model hosts Suzanne & David Shepperson who will do all they can to make your stay enjoyable, being attentive without intruding. There's home made bread, and a farm shop within walking distance for fruit, veg, milk & eggs. In terms of the CL itself, final approach through St Cleer village does have some narrow points - but the traffic level is mostly very light, and access into the site is clearly marked. The pitching area is set by the electric sockets around the perimeter, some pitches being more level and some less so (we needed levelling blocks) but everyone has an unobstructed distance view. Grass was kept short, and really well drained (glad to report !). Facilities (2 loos and a hot shower) very clean and not heavily used during our stay. Fresh water tap located at the side of the loo block, and disposal point well laid out behind the loos. Recycling all clearly labelled near the site entrance. It is a very tranquil & unspoilt location ! We did have some sun during early July - but we also had quite a bit of rain, though the ground was very free draining, thankfully. A place to return to again ................ thanks to Suzanne and David !

Great To Be Here Again

This is our second visit to Hendrifton Farm, and we have been here this time for the maximum permitted length of stay. We were here two years ago and had such a wonderful holiday, we readily booked for a longer stay this time. David and Suzanne, who own the C.L are lovely, kind, and genuinely friendly people who make everyone so very welcome, and are such an integral part of this tremendous C.L,.........They more than go out of their way to ensure that you are comfortable and have everything you need on a C.L, (plus the fact that Suzanne's Baking is second to none, and her cream teas, crumpets, and sourdough breads are simply excellent !!!!) Their general knowledge of of Cornwall, as well as it's multitude of holiday attractions, is extensive and they are truly a mind of information when it comes to giving tips / advice whilst planning a day out across the county, (and in every direction too!!) Hendrifton is superbly situated to access all of the main areas of interest, as well as being an idyllic "peace haven" if a quiet day by the Caravan or Motor Home, looking out over the pretty wooded countryside is the order of the day. In addition to the lovely wild flower meadow, which is excellent for dog walking and is situated here on site, there are extensive walks to be enjoyed from the C.L, There are ample grocery shops within easy access, ranging from local speciality Farm Shops, through to the major multiples. Just to reiterate, Hendrifton Farm is a truly lovely place, and both my wife Jill and I thoroughly commend it to you for your Caravan / Motor Home holiday in the lovely county of Cornwall. Thank you so very much David and Suzanne for what has once more, been a truly lovely holiday at Hendrifton Farm. Tim and Jill Cramp Golcar, Huddersfield

Friendly , peaceful CL

We had a wonderful stay at Hendrifton CL with Suzanne & David. The site was very peaceful, with a wonderful selection of birds for company. With a farm shop just down the lane and a beautiful lake just a little further along where a tea or coffee can be purchased it made for the perfect place for walking. Suzanne very kindly provided a delicious cream tea which was very nice, she also had homemade marmalade which could be purchased much to the delight of my husband. We would very much recommend this site.

Fabulous site

A lovely stay again at this fabulous site. Suzanne and David welcomed us with freshly made cream tea’s. Freshly baked bread was also offered us during our stay. Good walking from site with the dogs plus a lovely exercise area for them to play. This site is so accessible to so many lovely beach and country walks, we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for our lovely stay.

A little piece of Heaven

Wonderful family friendly CL with bags of space, excellent wifi and the site is really well looked after. Covid cannot spoil this idyllic spot! TV signal really good if it dares to rain and you neeeed CBBC. Having been visiting for a few years now, this site is popular with families and couples alike. Pitches are roomy and some recently updated which I reckon will serve our Motor Homer's very well, not to mention maintaining the most excellent grassiness. Scrupulously clean facilities and Owners and their furry pawed staff are very welcoming and helpful. Local area outstanding and near to supermarkets. Site perfect for weekends, long weekends and longer. Sorry Suzanne and David, we will be coming back!!

Lovely site, must return

We have just spent 10 days at the lovely Hendrifton Farm, visiting family who we have been unable to meet during the lockdown. The site is in an idyllic position, with open views of the countryside and sheep and cattle. The owners were very warm, welcoming, generous and kind. They were concerned that everything was alright and regularly kept an eye on things. On one day, Suzanne delivered a delicious cream tea, with her own home made scones. On another day, she delivered her home baked sour dough bread - warm and tasty. We found the approach narrow but plenty wide enough and a good wide entrance into the CL. There is lots to do in the area. We visited Hannafore (West Looe), the Eden Project and Liskeard. We walked to Siblyback Lake (there is either the road or a footpath), Tregarrick Tor, Cheesewring, Rough Tor and Brown Willy (stunning views of both north and south coasts). The Siblyback Lake cafe has changed hands this year and we would highly recommend it. Their galettes are delicious and their coffee is as good and as well prepared as you will find anywhere. Bruckey Farm shop is just 200 yards along the lane, on the way to Siblyback. They have a great selection of fresh fruit and veg, and dairy products - particularly enjoyed the home made, local jams and the Trewithen dairy clotted cream. Catherine was very friendly and pleasant. We hope to return to the site for another super stay.

Beautiful area for walking

The owners on this site are lovely. Really friendly, helpful and accommodating. The site itself is reached down a narrow no-through road and has beautiful views to the surrounding countryside. We did not use the facilities given the current covid situation so cannot comment but we were greeted upon arrival by Suzanne and David and bid farewell on our departure! We were given a folder with lots of really helpful bits of information in: where to eat, where to walk, etc etc. There were plenty of beautiful walks we were able to do direct from the site: Golitha Falls and Sibleyback Lake amongst them. Truly stunning scenery and not far from Liskeard for shops etc so an ideal location with everything around. Great dog walk, pitches well spaced out and we would definitely return without any doubt. If I had to try to find fault at all, it would be the road. Given it is a no-through road, and quite narrow, we were surprised at how much traffic actually uses this road and therefore there is some road noise but nothing that should put you off visiting this lovely part of the country - especially if you are into walking and just relaxing in beautiful surroundings. We were unfortunate that it rained most days and was very windy but I am sure it is even more spectacular and enjoyable when the sun is shining in the summer months. Thank you Suzanne & David! We will be back for our cream tea in the not too distant future!!!
