Why stay here ...

Merrose Farm Club Site is an immaculately kept, well-landscaped parkland location with a great feeling of open space and good views of the surrounding countryside. The caravan park is also conveniently close to a scenic coastal path for the family to explore.

If you're visiting the Truro area for the first time you have a surprise in store - the Roseland Peninsula is as pretty as its name. There are charming narrow lanes starred with flowers, quaint little fishing villages and cosy sheltered beaches. In summer, the warm climate brings dazzling splendour to local gardens. A day or two exploring some of the charming fishing villages within easy reach from the Merrose Farm Club Site is well worth it - places such as St Mawes, Portscatho, Portloe or Mevagissey are known for their quaint appeal. The Eden Project is also located nearby - as one of the UK's top gardens and conservation tourist attractions, this is also not to be missed. Quite simply, this caravan site puts nature's bounty on your doorstep. Onsite facilities include a playground and play area for children and a good-sized dog walk. A fish and chip van visits this site, please ask the site staff for details.

Keeping connected

we stayed here as part of our current tour. What a brilliant site. We thought our choice of pitch was limited due to the number of guests already on site but we quickly found a perfect pitch with loads of room. The facilities here are superb and spotlessly clean. The staff are all very friendly and efficient. The location is perfect for visits to beaches and towns with the bus stop situated just next to the site. The one thing that always puzzles me is the lack of consistency in site wifi. This site is remote, has trees and buildings, all the things we are told make wifi difficult, the signal here, however is excellent. I know wifi is not one of life's essentials but these days, especially on a long tour, it is important to keep conected without using up all ones data allocation. We would definitely recomend this site.

Wonderful Week on Roseland Peninsula

Having read some reviews about the summer months , prior to booking and staying at Merrose Farm, We were a little apprehensive, but we really wanted to stay in this area and try the campsite. The campsite was always full, but we felt it was well managed and we had no problems with social distancing and never felt overcrowded. Due to the fact that most people used their own facilities, there was hardly ever a queue for the ablution block. We had a fantastic week - the campsite is perfectly situated for walkers and beach goers. We were out every single day without having to travel much distance to explore this wonderful area. We will definately be returning at some point soon

A fabulous location for a staycation!

We went to this site in the middle of August and loved it so much, I shortened the following site so that I could extend our stay - it is a really lovely site in an absolutely fabulous location. We have a motorhome, so walking, cycling and public transport is high on our list. Whilst we didn't cycle whilst here, the Coastal Path is within easy walking distance to reach and easy walking in both directions (we didn't go too far along in either direction, but had a good 40 minutes of walking - as you approach the sea, if you follow the path to the left you can get to a lovely beach with a cafe (go back to the road and follow it down - there is also a little bit of parking available there). We chose to go on to the beach, which is pebbly but beautiful. Social distancing was no problem - there are little coves and a little bit of sand also - swimming and paddling was lovely, as was the weather for sitting and reading for the day (take picnic). Speaking of food, you access the coastal path by crossing the road from the club site and going down through a farm. This Farm has a shop - this was amazing. We had fresh fish each day when we came back from the beach - it sells dressed crab / lobster ready to eat / mackerel / sardines - and the family who own the farm run the shop - just ask for the fish to be filleted and you have fresh fish ready to cook without the mess! Vegetables / honey / jam and marmalade / mayonnaise - even tartare sauce, all freshly grown or made and sold on site in the farm shop. We ate so well it was like restaurant food every night (bring your own capers...). There are bus stops outside the site with one taking you to Truro (we didn't use that route) and St Mawes is the other way - go there! St Mawes is beautiful with shops and restaurants / pubs, but also it has a water bus to Falmouth. This was fantastic! about £5 per person one way, it is a lovely ride across to Falmouth and we loved the shopping there! something for everyone. We bought a cornish pasty and sat looking out to sea - we were lucky to have beautiful weather but I can imaging that Falmouth is atmospheric at any time of year and in any weather. We caught the last ferry back at about 5.15pm and then got the bus in St Mawes back to the site entrance. A beautiful location. We are booked to return... if only for the seafood at the farm shop! And just to add, if you are interested in art then you might be lucky and stay when the farm has an art exhibition on - we loved the beautiful paintings by the artist displaying sea views in bright colours - their son we think... Fabulous.

Great location and friendly, helpful staff

We spent 3 nights at the site last week. We loved the location and went for several long walks each day. The facilities were very clean and tidy at all times. Staff were great, very helpful, friendly and cheerful at all times. We'd like to say a big THANK YOU to the staff for helping to make our stay so enjoyable. Thanks again

Family break

We visited the last two weeks of August, and have stayed at the site many times in the last 18 years. I guess, due to covid 19 restrictions, the site was busier than normal. We had a trouble free arrival, and by chance, we arrived at the site at the same time as our friends ( so 3 caravans in total.) the wardens were extremely helpful, and had highlighted suitable pitches for larger units, so avoided us having to drive round and round. We found 3 pitches relatively close at the very front of the site, to the right of the office. Turned out to be great pitches as sheltered from the frequent high winds! We never used the toilet block or showers, so can’t comment on the system used. The laundry room was immaculate, as always though. We had fish and chips and pizza from the delivery vans that came to the site -both great but can be a long wait. Great walks from the site, and the surrounding area is beautiful. My only complaint is that there were spaces in front of our caravan allocated for a tent. They weren’t used, but had the been it would’ve been very cramped for all of us. I am sure it was within the legal space limits, but that wouldn’t have been great Obviously not the wardens fault, and I guess a directive from head office. There were many rude tourists in the area, who felt it okay to park across the locals drives and block narrow lanes on the access to local beach. I witnessed one resident trying to ask a man to move, but he refused. I don’t think for one minute these were people from the site., but please be mindful of the locals.
