SITUATED BETWEEN NEWQUAY AND PADSTO,
LIKE ALL CORNWALL ROADS THE ACCESS ALONG THE B3276 IS A LITTLE TIGHT IN A FEW PLACES FOR MODERN UNITS,
THE SITE IS DOWN A DUSTY FARM DRIVE, AMPULE SPACE BETWEEN PITCHES,
SET IN BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY SIDE, ALL YOU CAN HEAR IS THE BIRD SONG,
WOULD RECONMEND IT FOR A VERY PEACEFULL STAY
Very quiet and peaceful
Lovely site, good location, very quiet
No Information about site facilities.
Would be nice to receive info on surrounding
area. Info on local footpaths and buses
Recycling very disappointing
We enjoyed stay despite this

I thoroughly recommend trying to book a pitch on this CL.
For 3 years now, I have been unsuccessful in booking a pitch on this site for beginning of August. This year, at Wendy's recommendation, we stayed on non club site very close by. I can now see why it is hard to getting a booking on this CL. It really is a stunning site and area, and appears to be only 10 min's from everywhere. Wendy comes across as a typical farmers wife (absolutely flat out and up to her eye balls) but was very helpful and welcoming.

Jiffy the Motorhome
Great site across the road from NT Bedruthan Steps. South along the coastal path is a small beautiful village with inland bridal paths. We watched some local wrestling in a nearby village fete. Buses stop at the end if the lane going to either Newquay or Padstow. We chose to go to Padstow; what a gorgeous place. Plenty of space in the car park for our unit. Lots to see and do.

Lovely Site, perfect location for exploring Newquay/Padstow area
Fully recommend this site and it's position for exploring the Newquay/Padstow area. The site is easy to find down a farm track opposite a sign for the National Trust sign for Bedruthan Steps.
The site is grassed with a very slight incline. Usual CL amenities, but there is a portaloo available with shower which although we didn't use, it looked clean and functional.
We found Wendy the owner very friendly and helpful. The site is very quiet being a distance from the road, which isn't very busy anyway.
The National Trust car park, cafe and shop on the coastal path at Bedruthan Steps is only about ten minutes walk from the site. The coastal walks both ways from here are of outstanding beauty with cliffs and sandy beaches all within short walks.
You can catch a bus at the end of the drive from the site which will take you Padstow one way or the other way to Newquay.
We had a lovely stay at this site and will definitely go again.

Its good to talk
Having viewed the farms web site I decided to speak to Wendy to discuss booking and suggested I may stay for 2 or 3 nights dependent on the fishing. I was keen to try the fishing, there are 4 lakes/ponds on the farm, but in fairness Wendy did say they had been predated by cormorants (not mentioned on the web site) but I was assured there are still some fish in them and as the fishing was free I decided to book.
When I eventually arrived after travelling nearly all day it was pouring with rain and had been for most of the journey, so I called Wendy to check if the grass field would still be ok for my motorhome. Unfortunately she was not available so I left a message and not hearing back from her decided to risk it. Luckily all was fine. I never did hear back from Wendy.
This is a pleasant slightly slopping site with views of the old Airfield, normally this would have been interesting but it is now awash with numerous very tall communication aerials so not so attractive. The next morning I walked to the lakes to decide which one to try first. In fact only 2 of the 4 lakes were fishable. 2 of them are completely covered in Lilly's and weed. The other 2 lakes the water was gin clear and you could see to the bottom, in between their weed and Lilly growth. It didn't look too promising, I threw a loaf of bread in to see if anything showed but I didn't see any fish at all. I tried for the morning but nothing.
The lakes have been left to grow wild which is fine, and they looked glorious in the sun, but why suggest there are fish when there clearly isn't? I left after one night and still hadn't heard from, or meet the owners.

Great location shame about the tents
Fantastic location. Would recommend approaching from Newquay only. Do not approach from Padstow as road narrow with stone walls. Not obvious where to go and pay had to ask another caravanner and still not sure we were knocking at correct property. Site very quiet and set back from main road. No disturbance from Newquay airport. Peace spoilt by 4 motorcycles pitching their tents in field directly behind our caravan and sitting outside until 5am! Not sure if this was authorised pitching or not. Enough disturbance to make us move on early
Not much of a welcome
The site is lovely, great location and all the facilities you need for a CL. The only down side for me was communication from the owner. No information was sent before arrival regarding where to pitch. When we arrived we found our name taped to a pitch number but not until after we had pulled up next to a different pitch. We found water, waste etc ourselves but I nearly filled up water from the wrong tap in the dark having not been shown and couldn't see proper drinking water tap next to one of the other caravans. I rang Wendy on arrival but no reply or response to message that I left. When we did finally meet a few days down the line, Wendy was lovely, I just personally would have preferred and felt more welcome with some kind of info or greeting.
Great views and location
Just returned from a weeks stay, Great location for exploring Cornish coast, spectacular views allround.
very warm welcome from the warden/owner. During our stay we have booked a further 2 weeks in August.
