Poole Farm
Outstanding site that easily rivals commercial sites near twice the price. However, a commercial site could never offer the relaxing atmosphere and the friendly and warm reception from the owners.

What hasn't been said already?
We have just returned from a 5-day stay at Poole Farm in our motorhome. It's one of the most tranquil sites we've ever stayed on, with uninterupted views over green fields and the sound of the River Tamar only a couple of hundred yards away. The pitches are generous, all hard-standing with individual EHU and fresh water taps. In one corner of the site is The Hut which houses a large shower unit, toilet and hand basin. Everything is spotless and would do credit to a good B&B or guest house.There is also a 'fridge which guests are able to use if their own 'cellar' is full. All these facilities are complimentary. As is the warm welcome from Louise, Greg and son Harvey. On arrival a cup of tea is offered, and during our stay we received ice creams and cakes which was also complimentary. I cannot think of anything else which could be done to make a visitor feel more welcome. This CL will become a regular for us.

Our second visit to Poole Farm and the site is still worthy of it's CL of the year award. The high standard which gained this award has been upheld by the new owners, Greg and Louise. Many thanks for the warm welcome. As my profile pic shows, it really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
A really great site
You can well see why this is an award winning site, the grounds are very well kept, the reception from the owners second to none. The site on the Devon and Cornwall border makes it an ideal base to explore both counties.

An outstanding site. This is our first CL site, but certainly won't be our last.
Very warm welcome by Greg and Louise, whose surname must be Heinekin, as it is most probably the best site in the world!
The only problem I can see with this site is that it is so good, you will have to book years in advance!
If peace and tranquility is your bag, this fits it perfectly.
We will be back.
Kelvin and Karen.

The Wow Factor
Our first visit to a CL site.Wow! What a wonderful
place.We were offered tea or coffee on arrival, such a warm welcome.The site and facilities are perfection. Louise, Greg and Harvey are a fantastic family and made us feel part of this, including our Cavapoo Charlie. He was in his element! Like many others we have also booked 2 weeks for next year.
Thank you Louise, Greg and Harvey for such a lovely
holiday break.
Pure Bliss
Lost for words, the biggest endorsement that I can give is that we immediately booked again for two weeks the following year as our main holiday break. Excellent hard standing pitches, flanked by manicured grass areas and small wooden fencing.
Amenities i. e. namely the `Hut` hosts extremely well laid out facilities all fitted to the highest standard. The new lovely owners are dedicated to enhancing all aspects of the site to even higher levels - if that's possible. Willow - our little puppy, thoroughly enjoyed her time in the secure dog area, plenty of space to run and do her bits. There are plenty of varied places to visit nearby and a little further to meet all needs; only a short leisurely drive needed through beautiful country lanes taking in the countryside as its best in most cases.

WOW
We stayed here at Poole Farm for a week with friends. Louise & Greg had the forsight to put us opposite each other. This enabled us to have our own space but still pop into each other's unit when necessary. We arrived early as we came from IoW and didn't know how long it was going to take us. We rang through and were allowed to set up, with a welcomed tea/coffee & biscuits from Louise. We were made very welcomed, with Louise & Greg treating us like family, down to Louise making jam and treating each unit to a cream tea, also baking cakes and again treating each guest to a taste. Greg would deliver the daily paper if one is ordered and their son Harvey would do the job on non school days. Also Harvey would help his dad with keeping the area tidy for pocket money. We found all the family very polite and friendly. Greg was on hand as a Jack of all trades master of none when our battery decided to give up. There is room for only 5 units and the toilet/ shower area called The Hut is well maintained and very clean, all areas for dirty water etc is also very clean. There are plenty of reading material in The Hut for future adventures and a fridge to put the wine in on arriving home after a day out. The Wifi was adequate for our use and the small fee that Greg asks for is worth it. Thank you Louise, Greg and Harvey for a refreshing time at Poole Farm
In a Class of its own
Greg, Louise and Harvey are perfect hosts, being warm, friendly and helpful. The location on the Devon/Cornwall border makes it the ideal base for touring the area with Lanhydrock, Cotehele, Saltram and Anthony House NT properties are a short drive away. The glorious North Devon/Cornwall coast is only 30 minutes away. Each large spacious hard standing pitch has 16 amp electricity and water supply, the space between pitches allows you to site your unit as you prefer. The "Hut" houses the immaculate shower room/toilet. Poole farm combines peace and tranquillity with first class facilities, all you could wish for in a CL. If you have non-caravanning friends the B & B compliments the site perfectly. Poole farm thoroughly deserved its CL of the year and sets the standard for all the others to aspire to. Launceston is only 10 minutes away with shops, supermarkets and plenty of places to eat and drink (Tesco has a Costa Coffee), if you want a pub with character then try the Eliot Arms. The only problem was our 12 nights was too short.
