We had an amazing week here. The cabin itself was lovely and the whole site was well maintained. The staff were so friendly too.

Great site, very pleasant stay, shame the bus service has changed and is not as convenient anymore. But the site has always been brilliant with street food on site most nights and deliveries from Truro can be arranged as only 3 miles away. Would recommend.

As recently retired ‘caravaners’ we found the location of The Cabin ideal ! We enjoyed the accommodation while back among the caravanning community ! The Cabin was clean and well equipped and the close proximity of the excellent dog walk was a bonus, as was the garden !!My only very minor moan woukd be that I found the bed a little hard, but hey, can’t have everything eh !!There is no doubt we will visit again !!
