We have just returned from a fantastic stay over the New Year. Poole Farm is without doubt a 5 star site with Greg and Lou working hard to provide a truly unique experience, from the welcome bottle of fizz on arrival followed up by a cream tea and then the New Year’s Day evening meal served to our caravan all truly wonderful. This hardworking couple are setting a new standard for any site to aspire too.
Deserving Winners Of CL Of The Year!
From the moment we arrived, it was quite evident why this CL had been voted 'CL of the year'. Situated along a quiet lane in rolling countryside with the River Tamar not far away. This is a beautifully maintained CL with large, level hard standing pitches - something we were particularly grateful for as the weather was not brilliant during our stay. The pitch fee includes 10 units of electricity per night - after that it is charged at 23p per unit - a pricing structure that we thought to be very fair and with the increase in energy costs, a model that I think other CL owners will follow. Great dog walk on the site but there is also plenty of walking straight from the CL along quiet lanes. The best bit about this site must be the owners - Greg and Louise - who go out of their way to ensure that your stay with them is enjoyable. My only recommendation would be to turn the bathroom scales back about ten pounds before arriving!!! Cream teas, evening meals with delicious puddings, Sunday lunches and full English breakfasts are all available - fabulously prepared by Louise and delivered to your pitch - all highly recommended (the diet starts tomorrow). Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.
A Short but Lovely Stay
We stayed for just one night, not having been out and about in our camper for a while due to something called covid. What a fantastic, peaceful and well-maintained site this is! We were greeted by Greg on our arrival who told us everything we needed to know and handed us a mightily impressive Welcome Pack, which even included a biscuit for our dog (which was gone in seconds once he got hold of it). Louise later introduced herself, it was lovely to meet both of the site owners. The site itself is quiet and has a stream running through it and is adjacent to the river Tamar both of which provide a relaxing ambience. The dog walk area was appreciated by our dog, Jimmy, and we explored one or two lanes outside the site. The site provides a multitude of catering options, and we were glad to have taken advantage of the full English breakfast before we left – it was plentiful and delicious. It was also delivered to us! Our neighbouring guests told us they had the breakfast and were having the Sunday lunch too – where would they find the room?!
All in all, this was a relaxing and enjoyable quick break away for us and we definitely plan to return for longer in the new year. The only downside was the weather which was a bit damp and miserable at times, but I guess the site owners can’t control everything! To summarise – highly recommended and very impressive.
Simply the Best!
We have just arrived home after spending three nights on Louise and Greg’s site. Wow, it couldn’t be better, lovely people who put themselves out to help and absolutely everything is thought of and site is immaculate. Evening meals and breakfasts served to your motorhome or caravan, if required, and all absolutely delicious!! We have already booked out next stay in May and we’re really looking forward to it.
Just Brilliant
This was our second visit to this lovely site. I am not surprised it has won CL of the Year, congratulations. Arrival is easy but follow the sites directions. Pitches are level and serviced apart from grey water, which can be a bit tricky to lift over lip of disposal area. The hut is warm well stocked and very clean , lovely showers. Even a radio in the hut! The dog field is ample in size and cut paths for walking with fabulous views and a swing seat to sit and think ! However what really makes this special is the care and attention you receive from Greg and Louise. Attention to detail is second to none, from arrival packs , to ease of booking, dog biscuits, cakes , cream teas the list goes on. They manage this without being intrusive .The icing on the cake this year is the hot home cooked meals, delivered to your caravan. The Sunday roast was sublime, as was the weekday evening meal. Thank you for making the site so special and for all the care and attention giving to your guests. Hope to be able to return .
7 night stay

Reluctant to share this CL
We have recently returned from Poole Farm and had the most relaxing time with our friends. We endeavour to visit this CL every year and are continually surprised to find that Lou and Greg find new things to offers to make our stay even more enjoyable.
Lou and Greg are the perfect hosts in so many ways. Arriving is always a pleasure as the site is perfectly maintained and the chances are that you will be greeted by the offer of a warm drink and scone or cake. Lou is an excellent chef and we have enjoyed many wonderful breakfasts delivered to or Cavan so hot that the plates come with a waning, handle with care. This year, as well as the Sunday Roast on offer, you can now order an evening meal any day of the week from an extensive menu, again delivered directly to your outfit. What a wonderful treat we had.
The site facilities, which are always kept clean, are a massive bonus as are electricity and water which are available on each pitch.
Huge thanks to Lou and Greg we look forward to seeing you next year. Trevor and Sue.
Without doubt - The best CL
Have just returned from Poole Farm and had the most relaxing time. Greg and Lou strive for perfection and achieve it in so many ways. The site is always perfectly manicured and both Lou and Greg treat you like you are good friends, in a genuine way. They will do anything for you and you are very lucky in visiting a site that has a first class chef as the owner. You won’t find better facilities with a well equipped facilities hut. This is always kept clean and it’s just like being at home. We had Lous Sunday roast and pudding which was fabulous. We also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious cake and cream tea which was delivered to the van. Thank you both very much - we most definitely look forward to seeing you next year. Mike and Jill Hills

Another fabulous time
Yet again another wonderful time at Poole Farm. Welcomed as part of the friends, nothing too much trouble and if need help with a problem they will do their best to help.
Very well kept site, clean and COVID friendly. Clean and hygienic shower room and toilet ( the hut) . Quite and lovely views , just what we needed .
Cannot recommended this site enough, been here three time and just wish it was closer, we would come here more.
Not forgetting all the wonderful food and the new idea of a Roast of your choice brought to your caravan on a Sunday. A meal of exceptional value and marvellous quality, better than any restaurant we’ve had .
A lovely C L with Louise, Gregg, Harvey and not forgetting Rufus the beautiful spaniel 🐾
