We have stayed twice now, the first being for 7 nights over new year where we indulged in dinner each night and breakfast on 2 mornings cooked by Louise and delivered piping hot to the van by Greg. Such a treat!
Each time there has been a warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble.
In 3 short months since our first visit there is now grey waste to each pitch, making them truly fully serviced. Also a new ‘hut’ with washing machine and tumble drier. Dog owners will be over the moon to find a dog shower complete with hair dryer nestled between both huts!
Nothing is left to chance at Poole Farm. It is outstanding in every way. Greg & Louise work tirelessly to keep it that way. There is good reason why they won CL of the year 2021. We’ve just voted for them to ensure that accolade is repeated in 2022. The only downside being so many of us love it there it is becoming harder to get dates you want!
First class site, first class owners, highly recommended
This was our second visit (after a gap of around 6 years!) and this site is now better than ever!! Each pitch now has grey waste in addition to fresh water. All pitches are of a good size. The 'hut' now has an additional separate loo alongside the shower and loo originally available. A second hut has also been built alongside the original providing wash up facilities and laundry.
Breakfasts and dinners are also available 5 days a week delivered to your Caravan - we had a superb Boeuf Bourguignon one evening.
We were offered a cup of tea on arrival (just like 6 years ago!) and were also given delicious scones (best we've had for some time) with cream and homemade jam.
Greg and Lou are still the perfect hosts that they were 6 years ago!!
Quiet Haven
What a lovely peaceful site with the best dark skys seen in a long time. Greg and Lou make you feel welcome and the home cooked meals delivered to your door are lush. We shall return
Exceptional welcome, and excellent meals delivered to your van.
Once we had arrived and sorted our van out on the pitch, Greg presented us with two home baked scones, jam and clotted cream! Amazing!
We stayed 4 nights, and bought a full English breakfast one morning, pizza one evening, and coq au vin and chilli con carne, and home made desserts another evening, all cooked by Louise. All food was prepared to a very high standard and piping hot.
There were another couple of delightful touches because we happened to be there on their sons birthday, and also Mothering Sunday.
The site was clean and well manicured, obviously a cherished occupation and business!
Altogether a very nice experience!

Top notch CL
A very well presented site and warm, friendly welcome. Plenty of walks around the quiet lanes direct from the site, cross the nearby Tamar river to walk from Devon into Cornwall. We didn't sample the food other than ordering delicious croissants to be delivered to the van each morning. The Hut bathroom facility is exceptionally clean and well equipped but does present the problem of the shower and toilet being in the same room, meaning both are out of use when one is being used. However it seems this is being addressed with a new 'hut' being constructed that will offer a separate WC as well as laundry facilities.
A certain amount of electricity is included in the pitch fee but any excess, measured by a meter, is billed to you at the end of the stay. We didn't have any extra to pay but any heavy users may find they owe a bit at the end. This seems a fair way of addressing the soaring energy prices.
A joy to discover a CL that allows you to check online availability and then complete the booking and payments, all online. So much easier than trying to get hold of a busy farmer on the phone or wait for an e-mail to be returned.
A Place to visit home from home
From the time we booked Louise and Greg where there to assist. When we arrived Greg came out to welcome us. Also explained were everything was. The views where nice and enjoyable they nearest village was two miles away with a pub and a post office incorporated a well supplied shop, we recommend you check the pub website as they open different times during the year. Unfortunately there is no buses near by, however good taxi companies. As on others reviews the food was amazing and made you lazy to cook.
Thank you Louis & Greg
Wonderful Not to be missed
Made very welcome on arrival with a very good brief on the site. We set up and then sat back and relaxed as we waited for the pre ordered Sunday Roast Lamb to be delivered to the van and what a treat to have an excellent Sunday Roast aft6er travelling and setting up. We also ordered meals on Tuesday and Thursday and again we were not disappointed all piping hot and large portions and very good value. All the pitches are fully serviced. We took advantage of the 5 for 4 nights offer.
The HUT was very good always clean and tidy and warm.
Thank you.
Amazing food!!
Just a one night stay, but what a lovely place. Fantastic food delivered to the van, such a treat! Very warm welcome from the owners including a delicious cream tea!!
My husband declared the curry dish he had was the best ever!! The food was fabulous, huge portions & piping hot.
We plan to go back for longer next time!!
Very peaceful site & not too far for us.
Peaceful Retreat
We received a friendly welcome at this CL. It’s well organised and set out well. It’s very peaceful. We were there to celebrate a wedding anniversary and a significant birthday. Sadly for us the weather wasn’t kind to us and we made the decision to leave early due to the severe weather warning. Due to Covid we hadn’t eaten out anywhere for two years, so we took advantage of the offer of home cooked meals by Louise. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, delivered piping hot to our Motorhome.
We would definitely recommend this CL, and hope to stay again.
Best welcome ever
I have to say that the welcome was the best ever. Greeted as we arrived with a gift for our dog (they know how important our pets are to us) and with a wonderful cup of tea/coffee while setting up. You can't beat that.
The whole site is immaculate and the shower and toilet facilities the same - always spotless.
I have to say we didn't want to leave and we stayed a week. We did extend an extra day so we could be spoilt with Louse's afternoon tea. Best ever scones and they were gluten free - very difficult to make for most people. Louise is not most people - she is the best cook ever.
We had several wonderful meals while there as a special treat for us. Everything is home made from scratch which is very rare these days and everything was delicious. She went out of her way to cater for us awkward customers with dietary needs !
They are both so helpful and really nothing is too much trouble.
It was a real pleasure to be there and so glad we made the very long trip to stay there after seeing all the reviews.
Would happily go back again.
It was also very important to us to have a dog paddock where we can let our dog run free for a short time, and it was a lovely one with the river meandering around.
We were there at the end of January so the weather was cold and a little damp, but it was all lovely.
Very happy to vote for any awards coming up this year, please ask me.
Thank you for a wonderful week away.
