Lovely holiday park and chalet, clean, tidy & well equipped and a welcome game of hunt the switches and sockets on arrival had us smiling when we found them. The main concern for anyone staying here would be the lack of WiFi and a TV reliant on Internet access especially if you have kids to entertain. However having said that, it did not spoil our Read morestay and the owners provided books, games & DVD's (some classics to watch) that we happily used instead. And a nice small airfield just out the back added to the excitement. Overall a nice little spot to use as a base for touring the county. Hide

This is not a 4 star property, the pictures make it look better than it is. I also fear previous reviews are misleading to the standard of this holiday accommodation. The property is tired, rough around edges and needs a good update from furniture, kitchen appliances and dcor to name a few. The property location on the site is good but the siteRead more its self is also very tired and rundown In places. The only positive of this accommodation is the location. It is great for nearby beaches and places to visit! Hide

We had a great week in this comfortable and clean chalet, enjoying time on the local beaches, and walks overlooking the sea in this beautiful part of Cornwall. We also recommend a visit to 'Emily's Story' near Bodmin, and Prideaux Place - we learnt a lot!
