An absolute gem

We have been lucky enough to have had a seasonal pitch at Merrose Farm Friday for April to November 2021. We have had an amazing stay. Truly fantastic site and wonderful location. The first thing to say is that Tracey and Keith, as managers, do a fantastic job keeping the site in tip top condition. Not only are they truly brilliant at their job but have made our stay that extra bit more special. Paul, Carol, Paul and Allison have been their assistants this year and have all been brilliant too. We have got to know them all so well and it’s felt like having friends to chat with whenever we want to stop them doing their work (sorry!) and they certainly all work so hard for the guests’ benefit. The grounds are well kept, and the facilities are kept beautifully clean. You could ask for no more. They have, in our opinion, an uphill struggle with people that can’t ensure their dogs foul in the proper area (special field provided) but do everything with a smile on their faces. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you for absolutely everything from your kindness to your chocolates and t-towel loan! Unfortunately you won’t get Lord and Lady next year but, who knows, maybe the year after xx

Staff to the rescue

During a September 2021 stay, we had a night of torrential rain leading us to be stuck on a grass pitch ( we had been warned)!! The morning we were due to vacate the pitch to go to the Eden project (Timed Ticket )!!, we found we were unable to get traction and were stuck in the mud with the front wheel spinning- not wanting to damage the pitch , I duly sent the wife running to the reception for assistance. Without further ado four strapping guys were on hand to lay their grass grid pavers and with combined effort managed to push us , until we got enough grip to get us to the nearest metaled track. We cannot thank them enough for their speedy assistance and their pleasant attitude as they came to our rescue. Merrose Farm site is in a great location for local tourist spots, we had a very peaceful stay and enjoyed pleasant views. Well done team!

Will be staying again

I have rated peace and quiet 5 stars but this would only be out of season, everything else on this site to me is perfect . The dog walk is excellent if you take your thrower with you . We have stayed on this site many times over the years and it never dissapoints . The new team this year were helpful and friendly. The only downside and this applies to all sites the speed limit is 5MPH please keep to this its for the safety of us all

It would take some site to beat this one

It would take some site to beat this one. We stayed here in a motorhome during late September and found everything to be most satisfactory – reminding us of the reasons why it is worthwhile being a member of this club. The wardens were very helpful and friendly. They even without fuss amended a booking for another site we were travelling to as the website wouldn’t allow the alteration. All facilities were excellent and there is a superbly equipped children’s play area. Fish and chips arrive each week although we had to wait one hour owing to the queue and popularity. There is also a weekly pizza delivery but which was cancelled during our stay. Satellite TV reception and BT mobile phone reception was excellent as was the club Wi-Fi. Most pitches appear to be level and are generously proportioned. Just outside the site entrance there is a bus stop and hourly bus service into Truro and on the other side of the road a bus stop giving hourly service into St Mawes which has some lovely cafés and restaurants together with a few other nice craft shops and numerous ferries – one of which is the passenger ferry over to Falmouth. This particular service runs every half hour. Another ferry goes direct to the National Trust garden at Trelissick. There is a lovely and pretty easy walk from the site, passing through a farm (with a lovely shop) and then to the scenic south-west coastal path leading south to Porthcurnick beach and The Hidden Hut café well known for a great menu and refreshments (only outside seating – and good toilets). From there the path continues for a short distance to Portscatho which has a lovely atmosphere, a few shops, gallery, pub and harbour together with a superb beach and great swimming. We had a most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this site.

Lovely site

We had a 2 week stay here at Merrose Farm in September. Throughly enjoyed it, it’s a lovely site with a really nice friendly atmosphere. Had a really warm welcome when we arrived, and throughout our stay wardens were really helpful and friendly. Facilities very clean, and never seemed crowded or busy. We had a grass pitch at the very bottom of the site-which was a really peaceful spot, surrounded by trees. There is so much to do nearby-even with 2 weeks we didn’t get chance to do everything we wanted. Spoilt for choice for cycling and walks, and really good beaches nearby. Definitely one we’ll be back to.

Perfect site in a perfect location.

We came in May 2021 and fell in love with the site and area so we came back this September and have booked a further two weeks next June. The site is well managed by the friendly and helpful wardens, thank you to Keith, Tracey, Paul, Carol, Allison and Paul. Also for your convenience the site has a cracking little shop for your basic needs including a daily newspaper The site is ideally located for walks on the South West Coast Path, a handful of beautiful beaches including Porthbean, Pendower and Porthcurnick. Looking forward to next June already..

Great place to stay

We stayed from 1st September for 4 days. Very helpful wardens especially Keith who helped us with the positioning of our caravan (to get the best of the sun). We stayed near the bottom of the site but would try for a pitch nearer the shower/toilet block next time. Would also get better signal on phones higher up. Fish & chip van was ok. Nice site, very clean and tidy.

Lovely stay

Had a great stay here, just wish we had longer. Only criticism would be the pitches are not well looked after and need weeding and a good tidy up. Pitches not checked between arrivals a disposable bbq was left on one pitch for two days and not picked up by wardens.

Great site and fab hardworking staff

Very happy I chose this site, stayed 10 days when it was full...no issues with the ablutions, site, or location. You can do a 10 min walk to a dog friendly beach, great dog walking field. A big thumbs up for the hardworking and professional staff - well done. Just as an update to the site description a pizza van also visits once per week.

Shame on you early arrivals

Spent four days at Merrose, ideal spot, walking from site easy enough once you get to the coast path, the bus times were fairly accurate and good, as the roads are small the bus can never be precisely on time, we did St Mawes lovely spot, ferry to Falmouth and back. We arrived just after the bad weather so some parts were soft understandably so, general discussion on site was the habit of early arrivals, saw 4 outfits in by 10.30am, which makes it unfair on the ones that abide by the rules and the Wardens, as no barriers straight on site, to view best pitch's, eyebrows were being raised by many to this obvious trait. Overall would come back, could not fault staff or layout, great Fish and Chips.
