Holiday at Looe Caravan Site
Could be great
Noisey
We had booked a service pitch for a weeks stay. On arrival staff were quick to say " are you aware service pitches are next to playground " well how could we be aware as its not mentioned on web site nor in hand book. We had a look and at 1pm ish all was quiet so we pitched up. At 4pm all hell breaks out as kids flock to playground and race up and down the road next to playground ( who puts a road next to a playground ?? ) on bikes and scooters. At 945 pm we are once again returned to normal. Spoke to staff next day and moved down a few pitches. Staff here are not interested when told children were climbing onto top of very high fencing. The staff fly around on a golf buggy not even slowing for children. Fish chip van comes couple of times a week but get there early there is a long wait unless you are Cc staff who calmly walk down jump the que and don't even pay. Lovely!!! Who ever designed the pitches next to a playground and put a road in front has serious problems. Will not be returning especially with current staff and service pitch issues. Shame as the location for Looe is spot on.
Great if you have a brood of kids

Great site
Excellent site in a lovely part of the country
We've just returned from a week in Looe and this site is a gem. Friendly staff and with excellent facilities, probably the best we've seen to date. The site is well laid out and a variety of trees divide each row of pitches. All pitches apart from hard standing are sloped so a bit of lateral levelling is required. The site shop keeps some basic supplies but it's only small and for anything other than essentials a trip into Looe will be needed. The toilet/shower block is really good. Toilets are separate from showers so you don't have to walk through one to get to the other like on some sites and they are kept very clean. The site itself is very well maintained and we always saw several groundskeepers at work each day of our stay keeping on top of things. We pitched close to the upper shower block which in hindsight turned out to be a mistake as its adjacent to the tennis, crazy golf and park area. In itself this isn't an issue but after dark these areas seems to be a Mecca for feral children staying on site and who have no idea what it means to respect other people staying on site - on several nights there was lots of rowdy behaviour well into the evening which disturbed my own kids' sleep. Looe is only a couple of miles down the road and is worth visiting as is the holiday village, which is walkable, if you prefer something a bit quieter. I consider my towcar to be more than adequate for my van, however, there were some hills on the approach to this site which made the car work hard. Overall though this is a great site and the only one so far which has the combination of features to make me want to return. Next time I would definitely consider a hard standing pitch though. Normally I prefer grassed pitches over gravelled but being on a sloped pitch made use of the awning less comfortable and less useful than it would have been if it were level and it rained a lot so the areas of heavy foot traffic around the pitch did quickly turn soggy and that in turn meant that a lot of the muck found its way into the awning. Apparently, or so we were told, August is not the best month to visit Cornwall so when we go back we'll try earlier in the year and pray for better weather. That's hardly an inditement on what is a lovely site though.
