Great site

Great site, swimming pool sold it to us for the kids, downside is that as they were under 16 an adult had to be present. My children are 14 and 12 and both have rookie lifesaver gold certification (and are probably stronger swimmers than me). There was always a site member there on guard anyway. That aside, good site, great shower block, good secure dog walking field where they could be let off their leads for a proper stretch of their legs. And lovely blackberries most of the way round the 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.

Lovely site, swimming pool, tennis, mini golf

We stayed here in May half term, the site was great. In high season I can imagine it would be quite claustrophobic as the pitches are tightly packed in together. The swimming pool and children's play area, tennis and mini golf were great for our children. A few problems with some nasty big kids picking on the younger ones, and the teenagers that seemed to be given free rein to run around, shrieking and spraying each other with water hoses until almost midnight (what are the parents thinking?!) A great site, but go when it's quiet!

Recommend to everyone.

Went to this site last year so I had to go back again this year. The staff are really helpful. It's in a good place for the beach which is very nice and there's a few different things to do for all the family. There's two big supermarkets that aren't far from the resort. If your wanting real peace and quite then try go to the bottom that's where I was there is still kids there but I've not had any problems in the last 2yrs I've been there. The pool is clean and well maintained and there's loads to do for all aged kids. There's entertainment next door that you can go to which is good because you can go then come back to the quietness of the caravan club site. It's a must to try people 100% recommend.

Week in Looe

The location of this site is excellent! It is clean and has lovely views. The staff are helpful and friendly and the pitch we had was great. The downside was that it was incredibly noisy late into the night with kids screaming and running past our caravan until 11pm at night. The music in the toilet block was far too loud and unnecessary. In spite of the noise we will go back.

Ideal site for families due to the pool, tennis and golf and also an area for kids to play football. There is a good size dog walk shame some people don't clean up after there dogs. Tiolets and showers always clean. The only thing would say is the pitches do seem very close together. And no fault of the wardens the site came alive around 9.30 pm every night and people walking across peoples pitches. Overall a nice site.

Enjoyable stay in Cornwall

We spent 2 weeks at the Looe site in August, knowing it would be full of children, and it was! They did tend to run round or skate/cycle in noisy groups and at times beyond 10pm (but that's down to the parents to control their children whereabouts, not the children?), but I'd rather see them do that than sit playing an electronic device. The toilet facilities in the bottom block were very clean, I didn't once have to wait for a shower and I particularly liked the radio playing in the background - is this a new initiative? The pool is a bonus and warm too, but would have been better if it stayed open a bit later as we often got back around 6pm, but I understand the wardens need time off too. The crazy golf was a good laugh and all the wardens were friendly and polite. My biggest issue was the usual speed of vehicles round the site, especially during the summer holidays when you know there will be children around. Also was quite surprised at how early new arrivals turned up - one was at 09.30? It does state clearly in the book to arrive after 13:00

Fun, can be noisy

We have had 6 nights on a serviced pitch which is next to the playground. We have 2 children so do not mind noise. However, it is a few parents of older children/teenagersthat have allowed their children to run around and shout after dark. A sign or note in the brochure asking for quite after dark could help or parents just take better responsibility please! The area is great, swimming pool, tennis courts a real bonus.

Noise

Not a site I would come to again. Noise is a big issue, site owned vehicles constantly going by, and by no means are they quite. I have 2 grandchildren here, so am not against children in anyway, but at 9.30pm when a gang of 8/10 year olds are running around caravans spraying with water pistols, screaming shouting etc is no joke. One couple with 2 young children have just left early fed up with the late night noise. I think that says it all. Never had this problem before
