Why stay here ...
My CL is a peaceful site, set on a small holding in the countryside surrounding the historic seaside resort of St Ives. The site is located in a meadow with lawned pitches, electric hookups and space for awnings. My site is very child and animal friendly, with a dog walk on site and has a pub and restaurant nearly at the bottom of the garden. The site is an excellent base for exploring this world heritage mining area, with the site forming part of the famous St Michaels Way footpath network. There are several pretty walks to St Ives for the reasonably fit. The park and train ride in nearby Lelant has one of the most beautiful coastal train rides in the county straight into St Ives. There are watersports, golf and a RSPB Bird Reserve all within 5 miles.
Carbis Bay has the nearest beach and supermarket 2 miles away and St Ives is Famous for its art galleries and museums as well as its many sandy beaches and restaurants. All beaches in Penwith are manned by RNLI Lifeguards in the summer season so are very safe and the surfing scene is very strong. The St Ives September Festival of Music, Arts and Drama is a very popular yearly event. The photos include pictues of my site and views from the local area.

Perfectly Located
Penrose House
Just had a couple of winter weeks at this CL. It’s a basic site with the usual facilities but what makes it such a gem is it’s location. It’s easy to access and there is plenty to do in the local area. If you like cycling or walking it’s a site hard to beat. Although some of the footpaths were a bit wet, in fine weather you would be able to go on a different walk every day. We particularly liked being able to walk to the local Tesco’s (about 25 minutes) and not having to get the car out for just a few bits. St Ives itself is as charming as ever and the surrounding beaches and bays are stunning. We would definitely like to return to this site.
Great location and very friendly owners
Penrose House
A good basic CL in a very good location for St Ives and the Mining Heritage coast. Facilities were all fine, but unfortunately the pitch we had by the entrance had clearly been waterlogged after a summer of rain and it was soft and soggy for sitting out. Overall the site levels were a bit of a challenge leading to some people pitching up rather close to us a couple of nights. However, Trudy & Frank’s friendly approach made up for the small inconvenience.
Perfect site

Happy 3 years 😃🦇
Penrose House
This is our 3rd year at this wonderful site on the (our) bamboo pitch. Truddi and Frank are most welcoming and friendly and make us feel right at home. We have a twin axel caravan and can access this site with very little problem. The site is well looked after and TV reception has always been good. The location of the site is ideal, with Carbis Bay a 20 minute walk away and St Ives a 30 minute walk. There is a nice local farm, close by in Trink, for your fresh dairy products. The site is great value for money and we would highly recommend it.
Thank you for always making our holiday special.

A site with potential
Penrose House
This Cl is fairly well located for St Ives and the owner is lovely. The site is in a pleasant rural location with a pub close by. The access from the main road is not overly easy to negotiate as its pretty overgrown and as there is another larger site next to it. The road is fairly busy and there is quite a lot of road noise. We had to reverse a number of times but luckily not whilst towing. The EHU needs attention as our "neighbour" had to run his cable across the front of our pitch and that meant we had to drive over it regularly. The chemical waste leaves a bit to be desired and we were told to dump the grey waste into the bushes. We had to run our caravan into the pitch nose first so we could get a view rather than being shrouded by a forest of bamboo. The bushes at the entrance to the site need to be cut back as it was difficult to exit the site with the caravan and we both sides brushed against them. The site has a potential and I do appreciate that I may sound a bit negative but for £18 I expected a bit better.
