A gem of a site

Gurland Farm
We have just arrived back from a two week stay at Gurland farm, our first ever visit and it most definitely won't be our last. What a prime position overlooking Sennen, Landsend, Longsands Lighthouse and Cape Cornwall is the opposite direction. Behind you is Landsend Airport although not noisy in the slightest as its quite far off but close enough to watch the planes land and take off. The owners whose family have owned the farm for decades are super friendly and bend over backwards to help and advise. There is a single toilet with washbasin and a single separate Triton shower that is hotter and better than my own power showers back home. They do not need to provide these facilities but do and keep them immaculate. Brilliant access to coastal path so very easy to walk to Landsend, beyond or in the opposite direction towards Cape Cornwall. We took a lovely walk to Bosavern Community Farm for organic milk, artisan bread and other treats. Access not a problem if you just take your time. When we arrived there was a huge twin axle motorhome and a twin axle caravan with estate car and their advice was exactly the same as previous comments just take the bend on entering the track road wide and slowly and you will be fine. Three of the other outfits that were there upon our arrival had been coming for 25-35 years, and their stays were 3 weeks or longer which is testament to what a special site it is. It is also the reason why there is not a lot of fresh reviews because if only 5 vans allowed and they are longstanding repeat visitors who stay for long durations, they don't leave a review and its harder for newbies to get in! Like I said a gem. St Ives is a lovely bus ride on the Atlantic coastal road at a charge of £2 return. Sennen farmers market is held every Tuesday and has some brilliant producers and stall holders, fresh fish from Newlyn, Sarah & Finns award winning Jams and chutneys, Penny's Pies are fabulous, and more but make sure your'e there early as they do sell out. I was torn whether to write a review because being only a 5 van site and extremely popular, the more you tell people the more harder it will be to get a booking but how could I not, Charlotte & Matt deserve it for all their hard work.

Perfect!

Gurland Farm
This is the most beautiful CL site with only 5 vehicles in a 3 acre site with the most stunning views. Loo and shower clean and tidy and well kept. The owner was not only friendly but also helpful with local and current information. The bus stop is a 30 min walk away, Sennen Cove and Lands End easily accessible along the coast path. If reading reviews ignore anything older than 18 months as they are new owners and it's worth every penny.

Breathtaking location, perfect CL, peaceful.

Gurland Farm
I read previous reviews and was apprehensive about our stay. Most of the reviews are old and should be ignored, this is a fantastic site with breathtaking views. It’s a working farm so don’t expect fancy frills, it’s a big 3 acre field overlooking Sennan Cove. You can see the rocks in front of Lands End and the hotel on the peninsula. It’s a short walk to Gwynver beach which is just beautiful and dog friendly. We walked the coastal path to Lands End, just a 9 mile return walk with incredible scenery. The camp site although a CL has a single shower and toilet. Both are basic but are kept immaculately clean. Amazingly the shower is free. The site owners are very friendly and will offer advice on local walks and pubs etc. We have a camper van but on the site was a caravan and a larger motor home, possibly 8m long. The access road is narrow but this is the case with many local roads. There are passing places and the track is surfaced with concrete strips, we had no problem accessing the site, and having owned touring caravans previously , would not consider access an issue. The owners have obviously made great efforts to improve the access road. This is a perfect CL, so quiet and peaceful. We spotted so much wildlife including the Cornish Choughs, quite a rare bird. Ship spotting, weather dodging, relaxing, the site has it all. We camped through Storm Antoni, the field is exposed but common sense prevailed and we didn’t put our awning up. I can’t recommend this site enough. I can’t wait to return.

4 X nights at Gurland Farm

Gurland Farm
No idea what all the fuss is regarding access🤷‍♂️. We are 6.8m motorhome & absolutely no issue whatsoever. Getting onto our drive at home is more tricky🤦‍♂️ Price good & 👍 includes toilet & shower but we used our own on-board facilities with easy acces to tap for fresh water Views great if a little windy. Walked to Sennan and Cape Cornwall & back direct from site. Nice co-op & 4 X pubs in St Just 😉

A truly special place with stunning views

Gurland Farm
There's been a few subtle changes of late so I thought I'd write a updated review. Firstly Access which is highlighted in previous reviews. We have a 460 caravan & two wheel drive vehicle. We have never had any issues arriving/departing from the site despite multiple visits yearly & we've never damaged/scratched our outfit. Yes it's narrow and there's a sharp steep bend to negotiate but if you take the bend slow and wide both directions there's no issues. Care must be taken along the farm lane but again it doesn't present any difficulties. Drive straight through the farm and into the field which is clearly marked, you now find yourself in a truly iconic location with panoramic views over both land & sea. There's uninterrupted views to Sennen Cove, Lands End, Longships lighthouse & on a clear day the Isles of Scilly. Look inland towards the moors of West Cornwall, St Just & Carn-Brea. The site itself is spacious so there's plenty of room between outfits. There's new fencing around the newly painted toilet block separating the amenities. The toilets & shower (free) are adequate & kept spotlessly clean. Charlotte & Matt own/manage the CL and they live in the farmhouse to the right as you enter the field. They are a delight to chat to and have a good knowledge of the local area should you need any information, they even charged our cycle batteries for us several times during our latest lengthy stay. There's a trough outside the farmhouse with various herbs growing which you are welcome to use. Just take note that this part of Cornwall is exposed so keep an eye on the weather especially the wind, we have learned to leave our awning at home when staying at Gurland. There is direct access straight to the coast path and other paths lead straight from the farm inland. Just a short walk away is Gwynver beach, in my opinion the best beach in Cornwall. From Gwynver you can easily extend your walk to Sennen Cove & beyond to Land End. The granite coastline is fabulous and very unique. A short drive takes you to St Ives or Penzance both of which should be visited. Enjoy the views
