A delightful site

What a beautiful site. Amazing facilities for a Cl. and in such a picturesque area. Walks around this site are amazing,with very pleasant and helpful owners our 2 week stay was A1. Would thoroughly recommend this site. An extremely good bus service is also available on walking into Fowey. This site is one of my favourites which we could quite happily come back to time after time..

Two words - Go there!

What a lovely site this is. If you like bird song and woodlands then this is for you. One of the best CL's we have stayed at. Thanks to David and Sarah for running a superb site. Walk into Fowey, it's about a mile along the road, no pavement until you get nearer the resort but ok if you take it easy. There is a shorter route (but be warned it is hilly) that David will tell you about. This site is the nearest to Fowey, so you can pop in for the evening if you wish. Motorhomers can get a cab back for a minimal price. TV we found a bit non existent, but who wants it anyhow with surrounding like this? Go in spring time and the lanes are full of wild garlic and bluebells. Wonderful. Follow the route given and not the SAT NAV and no problems at all.

Secluded peaceful site ideal for coastal walks and town

We spent a couple of nights here in early November. One of the best CLs we have stayed in. It has everything you need, not only for entertainment being a short walk to town but also to the headland and further on to eat at Polkerris. The site is quiet and the surrounding trees adds to its tranquility and beauty. Recommended.

A very very good all year round CL

Just spent a very nice weekend at Fowey CL we were met by Sarah just after we arrived which was a surprise given that it was dark and the drizzle was coming in, Sarah gave us a friendly and helpful welcome also made us aware of the site facilities. The site perfect if setting out in your motor home or caravan during the winter it is well set out with a hardstanding track leading to four hard standing bays along the top of the site and another hardstanding pitch stepped just below, all pitches include connections to a sat TV line along with a fresh water connection.   The free wifi also worked without any problems spot on for planning where to visit, Fowey CL also has a well stocked range of tourist information leaflets if your not into the internet for searching out places to visit. We were able to find the CL without any issues Fowey CL also has a detailed web site that provides all you need to know about the site and area. The caravan club map is a little adrift the actual entrance location is GPS  50.341578, -4.648150 a point to be aware of as it's not a good idea to overshoot the entrance of Fowey CL as the road becomes narrow quite quickly and turning would be a problem. Turning out when making the left turn into the CL is to be remembered as you need to line up your outfit in order to clear the gate posts, take a look at Google street view to avoid a surprise, being aware and you will be fine and find no problems at all, it's a very quite road.

Excellent

Nestled amongst a wooded clearing, this is a well laid out site, peaceful yet within an easy stroll along the road to Fowey, beware though sharing a road with vehicles anywhere requires care. The owners have put alot of effort into the site with further improvements in progress evident. A friendly welcome and later in ge evening a knock on the door from the owner to be sure everything was ok! Very impressed! Water and electric on every pitch and chem toilet disposal very convenient!

A tranquil setting

We have now visited this lovely CL twice, once in February and later in October. On both occasions the site was well kept , clean and the owners a delight to talk too. The location is perfect for accessing a large area particularly if you use the short hop across the river Fowey on the Bodinnick ferry to travel further. We have two whippets and there are plenty of large open spaces with the beach included to exercise them on a short drive away. We strongly recommend you pay this site a visit, particularly off peak as Fowey is a very popular and busy tourist attraction - You won't be disappointed.

Goop place to stay

David and Sarah offer a very warm welcome to their CL and their website is also very helpful with local information, walks, etc. The site is 20 minutes walk from the centre of Fowey (although part of this is along a narrow lane) and thus it is well situated. The CL is relatively new and has been well set up. It is quite shady which may suit some although not sunlovers! Each pitch has its own water supply and the Wi-Fi is a great asset. It is open all year and the hardstandings would make it very usuable in poor weather. The hardstandings are made with rather large stones, though, which make it a little uncomfortable around the pitch - topping up with finer stone would be a good improvement. Overall, we recommend this Cl as a good centre from which to visit Fowey and surrounding area.

Excellent CL near Fowey

Just stopped at this site for a week and what a great location for Fowey. The site has been opened for about 18 months, which the owners Sarah and David make you feel very welcome whilst you are there. The walks listed on their web site are a must and we did a number of them over the week.

Fowey is a great location and only a 10 minute walk to the start of the town / carpark, probably 20 mins into the centre. You will definitely need a torch in the winter nights. The hardstanding pitches all have water and a tv aerial, even though our dish on the van picked up a good signal. They also have the benefit of wifi, even though I could only pick up from the awning and was hit and miss at times, but I was on holiday and only used to look for things to do / reviews.  

I think this is a great site and will use again, if I was been critical, the pitch we were on had full view of the chemical toilet and might of been best screening and the pitch we had, had a bit of concrete slab and manhole, which if sitting out, meant you were sat on. This was me being picky remember and I parked my car in a way that screened it. 

If I gave any advice to people visiting, make sure you swing wide into the site, watching the left hand side as you pull in and ensure you have some good steel pegs for hard standing. Great site and would recommend

Fowey CL

Just spent 3 weeks at this lovely CL. We arrived to find a name plate next to our pitch which was flat level & a good size. Access is a little tight but no real problem & you get plenty of notice you are approaching the entrance. Each pitch has access to fresh water electricity & a satellite TV connection, a decoder box is offered if required. David & Sarah introduced themselves within hours of arrival.We found them to be very accommodating allowing me to park my 2nd car & boat on their drive just up the lane. Sarah even phoned me the evening prior to our arrival to advise me the pitch would be available from 7am.  The site is a 10 minute walk from Fowey and although there is no footpath we didn't Find it a problem with our 2 children & dog.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site to anybody wanting to visit Cornwall. Thank you David & Sarah for providing a lovely site for our holiday.

A Great CL

A great CL with a lovely friendly family running it. Sarah came and knocked on the door on our 1st evening and introduced herself and we met David the following day. All pitches hardstanding, great wifi and although we were told TV reception might not be good, it was fine. Follow the instructions given and it is an easy journey. Would definitely use again if we are in the area.
