Great stopover

Although we only stayed here for one night all the facilities were good and we had a friendly welcome on arrival. The local pub, The Lodge at Balnoon was great and in walking distance with friendly staff and a great selection of food and drink. We would definitely use this site again when visiting St Ives.

A super family site

This is an amazing site and location for a family holiday in Cornwall. We are a family of 5 and this was a super price for us. The site is perfectly placed for the gorgeous beach at Carbis Bay and the lovely Cornish town of St Ives. Also, it is perfectly located for exploring mid and south Cornwall. Trudi was a great owner who welcomed us and made our stay at this site great. She even cut out saving vouchers from the local paper for family days out, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend this site for families and will definitely be staying at the site again.

A little gem in a perfect location.

A lovely little site and Trudi is a very friendly and helpful owner. The entrance may look tight to the more inexperienced but it is easier than it looks. As the hook ups are split between two outlet boxes I would suggest you carry at least one extension lead in order to have the option of reaching all of the site. Perfect location with St Ives and Mounts Bay both within 7 miles, many footpaths for the more energetic. As always in Cornwall, parking can be expensive but there are many places where you will not be charged a fortune, the Lizard has donation parking in the village and at the point, the coast road from Hayle to Portreath has many places to pull off and get access to the Coastal Path, Cape Cornwall at St Just is Lands End without the expense and more beautiful. Thank you Trudi for a lovely stay.

Arrived as strangers left as friends

Lovely site. Made to feel very welcome on arrival and has a good relaxed atmosphere.Trudy made sure we were settled in and came around to say good bye when we left. Had no probs with site entrance at all.If you like walking get an OS map of the area and make up your own walks.Walked from site to Penzance 7.5 miles all on back roads. Stayed off footpaths as of the wet ground but only met a couple of cars.Then caught bus back.Walk to St Ives is easy to do. 3 places to get a drink and something to eat. Balnoon Inn ( I would give this one a miss unless you like being treated badly)The Countryman Hotel which is a little bit further down the hill.The best place for food is the Halsetown inn.Lovely pub with good food and even better beer.Trudy will show you the footpath to the pub.Takes between 10 to 15 mins to walk to but well worth it.We will be going back for another stay.

Just returned from a 5 night stay

We have just returned home from a 5 night stay at this site and to be honest we enjoyed it, Trudy was welcoming and friendly, we have a 7.5 metre motorhome and getting in and out of the site was fine, we would take our motorhome to the park and ride just outside st ives and have the bus into st ives, the buses run every 10 mins and it only costs £1.00 all in all we had a relaxing stay at this site and would recommend it to others

Great location for Cycling to St Ives and Carbis Bay

We were fortunate enough to stay on Trudi's site for a week in July. Wonderfully quiet site. LocalPlacesOfInterest of site excellent if you need to explore the coastline from Carbis Bay to St Ives. We are keen cyclists and truly enjoyed our cycling to both resorts. Admittedly it is a very steep climb out of both but once you have negotiated that you are mainly on very quiet minor roads which, in the sunshine we were fortunate enough to enjoy, were wonderful to cycle along. To get to St Ives required a couple of kilometres along the A3074 but we encountered absolutely no problems with this (it also conveniently took us past Tesco's!!!). There is also a lovely walk between the two resorts as well as a train (we did both!!). We liked St Ives so much, we returned there from another site!!

Lovely feel and very welcoming site.

We attended with our our dog the same week (25 Aug 2012) as KandK (review below) and quite honestly, I can't believe we stayed on the same site as he described. The review is totally contrary to what we found. Trudi was lovely and very welcoming. The grass was cut twice in the week we stayed and was free of any mess of any kind. Trudi's dog made an appearance but stayed on the house side of the field and wasn't any problem. The field is very spacious and peaceful. I had no trouble gaining access in my motorhome which is 7.5 metres.There is a lovely walk into St Ives and the pubs are nearby. We stayed an extra 2 days after our week so don't understand KandK at all!!!! The 'boat trailer' was moved to facilitate access for the horse into the field adjoining - get a life KandK. I will be returning for sure next year. Well done Trudi for a lovely site. See you soon.
