one of the best

Merrose farm is a superb site if you want peace and quiet with spacious pitches and very clean (though now looking a bit tired) toilets/showers etc . the wardens on all our visits have always been friendly and helpful. The site has a superb dog walk that is basically a small well kept field but well spacious enough to exercise even the largest of dogs,and this is my only moan-such a superb facility is abused by some dog owners who do not clean up after their dog, that does and will only help to alienate dog owners against non dog owners. The surrounding area is full of typical cornish coastal ports/beaches etc and well worth the excursion of main roads. Not our first visit and hopefully not our last .If the weather is in your favour I believe this is one of the best places to visit what ever the distance to travel.

A Lovely Site

Stayed three nights on this, well organised and maintained site. The traffic light system in and out of site removes any potential hiccups entering or leaving site. The Wardens were pleasant and helpful and looked happy in their work although the weather did help them. The facilities were kept spotless as was the site in general. Would definitely use the site again when in the area

Lovely site with bus stop close by.

This was our first visit to this site, and we had a great time. The park and facilities were spotless, and the wardens very helpful. The bus service from the nearby stop goes to either St Mawes, or Truro and run quite regularly (for a country service). There is also a lovely walk along the Coast Path. When we did it, we carried on to Place, then caught the small ferry to St Mawes, and a bus back to the site. There is also a great Farm Shop close by, where you can buy fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.

Weekend away

We decided to spend a weekend away so didn't want to travel too far and decided on Melrose Farm as its only an hour and a half from home in Launceston. The final part of the journey was interesting but if you have ever travelled in Cornwall you will know all about the lanes. On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile and provided with all the information we needed including the arrival time of the Friday night fish and chip van.  We were given a choice of pitch which were all generous and well kept as were all the facilities. We found the location ideal for visiting the local area with the King Harry ferry just a couple of miles away which gives access to Truro and Falmouth. All in all a great weekend away on a lovely site we will be returning.

best club site by far

we have stayed at this site many times, it never has disapointed us, the site is immaculately kept, the facilities are first class and the wardens were superb, friendly welcome and always a wave and a smile when our paths crossed, for those with motorhomes (and no tow car) there is an reasonable bus service outside the site to St Mawes and TRURO, a well stocked shop and a fish & chip van visits on a Friday evening, they were delicious.

The perfect site!

We go to Merrose a similar time every year (May half-term week), it’s our early season dust down!  The site is truly amazing, peaceful, safe, well kept, clean, friendly wardens & in a wonderful part of the country it’s absolutely beautiful.  Our children (14 & 11) get to meet up with a circle of friends on site each year from various parts of England, its lovely & they’ve probably made friends for life from Merrose. This year the weather was absolutely brilliant.  We spent a lot of time on site chilling, had some lovely quality time on the beautiful Porthcurnick beach & some great visits to the picture postcard village St Mawes.  We also visited a vineyard at Portscatho & a local farm kitchen where we had a delicious lunch! The site Wi-Fi was more than satisfactory so as a family it was comfortable browsing online before bed. This site will always be special for us. Merrose see you in 2017!

Yet another visit !

This was our second visit this year - the contrast between Storm Katie at Easter and the weather this time in late May being very marked, as we had truly gorgeous weather for all six nights we were here. One of our favourite sites, we have to say that this year the pitches and the site generally looked as good as we've ever seen them - friendly wardens, emerald green grass, beautifully mown, showing off the pitches to perfection. The toilet block - spotlessly clean if perhaps a little dated now - the dog walk area - well placed and a pleasure to use; children's play area well attended; site shop and information booth both excellent. Nearest dog friendly beach is Porthcurnick, just up over the hill (a earlier reviewer obviously didn't know this and it might be an idea to put up a sign in the shop?) though parking is difficult unless you use the public car park on the road to Portscatho - it's also the location of "The Hidden Hut" - which WAS nicely hidden until Caroline Quentin told everyone about it on tv! - and we also discovered that the truly STUNNING beach at Carne is dog-friendly too - in theory you have to leave Fido on a lead between 9am and 6pm but if the dog's in the water, I wouldn't worry - nobody did! I can't think there are two better beaches in Britain for small children, either. St Mawes - picture post-card, a little Hooray-Henry on occasion (it's a very wealthy place) but there's no better place to sit for a pint; the ferry to Falmouth from St Mawes was just fantastic and we loved it. Next time we'll go from Trelissick Gardens (great riverside dog walk) upriver on the ferry to Truro. Try walking out beyond the St Mawes Castle around the headland and you'll find a little gem of a beach right off the car park (you'll have to find the little track to it) - virtually deserted, dog-friendly, crystal-blue water - and a view of Falmouth to kill for. Everything about this part of Cornwall is lovely - Veryan, Mevagissy, St Just in Roseland, the King Harry Ferry, the Lost Gardens, Truro, Portscatho, Portloe. I found Vodafone's signal patchy at best - in the van virtually useless - but wifi is excellent and the tv reception good, though we watched virtually none. If you've not been here before, you ought to try it - a haul down, of course, for anybody not in Cornwall, but worth every single mile.

What a Cornish Gem

You can not fault this site, it's super clean, beautifully kept, really friendly wardens, great information hut, shower block clean and tidy at all times, lots of sunny pitches, fabulous play park for the kiddies and great dog field for exercising the hound.  If you want to walk the Roseland Peninsula this is the site for you.  Within 10-15 minutes you are on the coast path.  We found some fabulous places to take refreshments, the Hidden Hut at Porthcernick beach, Boathouse at Porthcatho and then just when you need a cup of tea we came across the Thirstea Van at Porth Beach which was super.  We took the bus to Truro (40 minutes), ok if you want to shop and see the Cathedral and you can pick up a guide that shows you which places are dog friendly - a lot of the shops and cafes are. Falmouth really enjoyed, Pendennis Castle is a good afternoon out and the docks are really interesting, nice lot of shops. Loved going across the King Harry Ferry to the NT Trelissick Gardens - the woodland dog walk is a really good long walk and the views are stunning, lovely gardens (dogs not allowed in the gardens but allowed everywhere else), excellent shop, second hand book shop and cafe, super views of the estuary.  The Roseland is breathtaking coast with super beaches, rocky coves and stunning coastal walks.  We didn't make it to St Anthonys Head (will do that next time).  Would have liked to have visited St Mawes but we ran out of time.  Enjoyed a late lunch at the Rosevine which was very nice - sat out with the dog. If you aren't able to walk there is quite a lot of parking dotted around the peninsula although be prepared to take it slowly as the lanes are quite narrow and you will often come across walkers, horses etc.  We took our pushbikes and whilst there are a lot of really quiet lanes to cycle it is hard going - very hilly in places.  We went over the ferry on our bikes to the NT gardens - it was a massive pedal up hill all the way back but I think it burnt off the cream tea. Wifi is excellent on site, mobile signal for vodaphone is very good and TV not too bad at all.  All in all we had a fantastic trip, we were lucky to have dry weather for the whole time and some lovely sun.  This site is on my list of favourites - although we have loved all of the sites we have visited.  My hubby said to me as we pulled up at site - it's just like coming home, you know exactly what to expect and it's true.... we are so lucky to have the Caravan Club.  We will be back!
