St. Martins by Looe

This site is perfectly placed for Looe on foot, Millendreath beach on foot and other local venues. It is a good cycling base. The SW coastal Path is close. The site is large and much bigger than the photograph shows. The staff have a wealth of local knowledge, including about how to cope with extreme weather!! We went on the day it opened and, of course, it was not busy. It soon started to be popular and all was good. This is the second club site we have used and we are equally as impressed. Highly recommended.

First visit but certainly not our last one!

We stayed at this site overnight after visiting Mount Edgcumbe. As it was a fine weekend we were surprised how few pitches were occupied - the grass pitches were all closed but there was a good choice of hardstanding pitches available to us. The wardens were friendly and helpful, the facilities block was clean and well equipped and the site was so peaceful. It is a large site with lots of facilities for children, so not somewhere we would visit in school holidays but definitely a site to return to.

Enjoyable stay at Looe Bay

My Wife and I had a relaxing 15 day break at Looe Bay after a busy year, we found the site was excellent, very friendly staff and the facilities met our requirements. After reading some of the reviews of this site I can say we had no experience of noise or disturbance or unruly children. I did have conversations with other members whilst on holiday and understand there were some problems at the top of the site with power and the shower-block. I can understand the frustration if there were such problems. Having toured as a child for many years with my parents I used to look forward to the freedom that caravanning brings, its a rich experience for children to travel around various parts of the country experiencing the joys the United Kingdom has to offer. In my latter years I now have the pleasure of owning a caravan, I am a parent and also have many nieces and nephews so I understand the importance of managing play, ensuring children have freedom but also act respectfully and courteously to other members. I think members need to mindful that children need freedom, play is a vital part of a child's development. It appears from some of the reviews that the balance was not quite right between solitude seekers and those enjoying family holidays. When seeking sites I normally seek quieter sites, either Club Sites or other independent sites as my Daughter is now older and independent so our focus is on solitude and relaxation. Maybe there is a bit more the club can do to indicate sites that are better for solitude and quiet relaxation or vice versa be clearer that a site is more family oriented. To be fair the logos on the caravan club site do indicate there is a play area, paddling pool and baby changing facilities so is fairly clear that it is a family orientated site. In high season I would read that as very busy with children on summer holidays enjoying freedom and children developing via play and rich learning experiences.

Why close a facilities block when the site is busy!?

First visit to this site on 10th September 2018 Easy to find and generally speaking an excellent location especially for motor caravaners who intend to use public transport as the regular bus service from the site entrance was excellent. Disappointed to hear when we arrived that the upper toilet/,shower block and swimming pool had shut two days earlier even though a) the site was busy and b) the pool was advertised as not shutting until mid September. I understand that a number of people expressed their disappointment about this and the Pool did in fact open up again for another week as a result. Great ...as the pool was warm and a lovely ! However the showers did not. The lower site pitches were all full and there were over 40 pitches being used at times on the top site so clearly this impacted on the number of people who were using the lower site showers etc which were now a considerable distance for many of those of us on the top site. The washing up area, the CDP and one unisex toilet were opened on the top block and I believe the disabled room was available for those who needed it and had a key but surely with so many pitches in use some of the toilets and showers should and could have been made available. The impression given was that after the first week in September the top block was shutting regardless as that was site policy. Strange as no doubt all those on top site pitches had paid the same On the plus side of things the site was very clean and tidy and although some of the grass pitches needed levellers this was made clear in the site information

17 night visit.

Hi arrived on the 10th August for a 17 night stay,first thing to note is always follow the handbook direction and not your Sat nav as you will find out when driving solo. The site was at maximum when we booked in ,the wardens were excellent in accomodating large outfits with bigger pitches keeping everyone happy.the site is spilt into two we were pitched in the lower section which has its own toilet block.the pool is great and well marsheld by the wardens the only down side it does really need its own toilet/shower area.plenty to see and do around looe we used the local beach many times and just wished there was a wetsuit wash on site ,there was plenty of wetsuits hanging on lines around and so I guess a wash would be well used.a special mention to the wardens who were all very approachable and hard working in keeping a very busy sitebticking over thanks guys it is appriecated.

noise and unrulie children

we stayed at looe for 6 nights, we thought that we would tour that side of looe, before moving on to perranporth, as soon as we got threw the barriers it was like a hell hole, children riding bikes and scooters all over, not a care that there were cars towing caravans coming. when we finally got pitched children were coming down hill on bikes and scooters, wrong way and taking blind corners fast, its a miracle no child has been killed by car or motorhome. some of the wardens were miserable never spoke or smiled. some people thought it was ok to leave dirty foot prints in showers and not clean them. dogs left to roam. pitches uneven, people having to unsafely level there units. nice location but defo for family's, never again

School holidays

My first thoughts are we have a lot of miserable people using the sites in general. We had a wonderful holiday on this site in peak school holiday season - I have 4 grandchildren and a dog which is why we chose this site in particular, my children played on the play area however I made sure they were home by 8 pm as per the rules, there were some out of hand children left to run wild until late, I stress this is the parenting which needs attention not the wardens. Also a reason why we don’t use service pitches there always in poor location. This is a good site with pool so it’s expected children will be there ,if you want a child free zone go to adult only sites or go outside school holiday’s. We had a hard standing pitch and also had many comments on how well behaved our children were and that they played beautifully, toilet standards are exceptional the same won’t be said for the people using them - wardens are not our maids and we should respect the facilities regardless. Overall a good site in a great location would recommend to everyone, good dog walking area on site and great walks in the area we will definitely return. What’s missing - a place around the pool you can take your dog because I wouldn’t leave the dog on it’s own in my van and I wouldn’t leave the children around the pool on their own which made it a bit difficult and perhaps a toilet for the children near the pool would be ideal.

Noise and more noise

Having stayed at this site I cannot imagine how the club can call it ‘value for money’! We booked a serviced pitch and assumed that this would be in a suitable location for all caravanners and motorhomers could enjoy. ABSOLUTELY wrong, the pitches were directly opposite the children’s play park and the tennis and football courts. Noise carried on until late into the evening and when the football and tennis courts were closed at 8 pm the children and youth’s converged on the play park that stayed open. The slide was used and a drum and the roadway a raceway until 10 pm and beyond. The pitches on the upper side of the site do not meet the required 3m distance and some members could not pitch properly. If we could demand a refund then we would do.

Dog park not caravan park

Firstly i cannot fault the staff they are very friendly and helpful and the area is beautiful. My reasons for not going back are the pitches are far to small you stepped out our awning onto the road not ideal with 3 children. Other family members there caravan was sticking out onto the road. I also could not believe the amount of dogs on this site it felt like i was pitched up at the kennels in our immediate vicinity there was 14 dogs the caravan behind had 4 opp had 2 next to us 2 ect . The dogs were pooing right outside our awning and although they pick it up its still there to be walked in. I just feel there should be a limit or a designated place for people with dogs this really was to much.
