We spent a week here in May and the site was so restful that we were reluctant to leave. There was lots of space between the pitches, it was very well kept and the toilets and shower were spotless. Suzanne greeted us with the most amazing cream tea and the following morning sent David out with a freshly baked sourdough loaf, homemade marmalade and honey from their bees. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made you feel like friends. What more could you want. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her walks along all the paths that had been cut out in the grass and 'Bobs field' was handy for throwing balls. The site is perfectly placed for visiting the north and south coast: The beautiful fishing villages of Looe, Polperro and Padstow to name but a few. Bodmin Jail is worth a visit and the Eden Project is not far away. Make sure you visit Inkies smokehouse which is just down the road. I highly recommend this site for anyone looking for peace and quiet and a friendly face after a day out exploring the beautiful Cornish countryside.
Peace and Tranquility
Had a lovely stay here for three nights in our motorhome. The lane after St Cleer is narrow in places, so not for a novice driver (in fact we checked the bus timetable so we wouldn't meet one on the way home), but once at the site it is well worth it.
It is perfect for dogs, with walks to both Golitha Falls and Sibleyback Lake.
Suzanne warmly welcomed us and was very friendly, bringing us a loaf of her beautiful sourdough bread and marmalade once ordered, and the information pack was very comprehensive and useful.
Well worth staying if you like to enjoy views over rolling countryside and sit quiet with a book after a long walk with the dog :-)
Wonderful find
My husband had been here before with our son. This was the first visit for our daughter and me. The site is really well laid out with plenty of space so you’re not all lined up and on top of each other. The shower and toilets are very good, kept clean and tidy. The reading books to borrow is a lovely idea especially when the weather isn’t favourable. Another excellent idea is the guest information book (one per pitch) an idea other CLs could adopt. Everything you could want to know about the site and area ready for you to digest.
The site is so peaceful and tranquil a real escape, although the approach road is narrow (Cornwall normal) but well worth it! The site is also well placed to visit this part of Cornwall.
You must try the sour dough bread (it’s gorgeous) and the scones(heaven) that can be purchased. They are the best I have tasted.
The dogs loved the ‘dog walk and separate ball throw areas. I think my spaniel would like to move in, his idea of heaven.

Good C.L
We spent 5 nights here in April, everything previously said was correct. Friendly and helpful owners, very dog friendly with 2x good dog fields and you can easily walk from site.The electric as with most sites is now metered and a daily allowance 0f 10 kw, we used our heating ,granted not all night and never went over the total allowed. It was our first time using a meter and gave confidence for the future and is the only fair way in my opinion.The only issue we encountered was approaching the site from Liskeard there are some high sleeping policeman which damaged our jockey wheel , so we exited via Dobwalls which was easier with our caravan. You could still go via Liskeard but just remove the jockey wheel for about 100 yards or so. The weather was pretty decent and there are many places already mentioned to visit. A good peaceful friendly site and if you visit twice you also get a cream tea thrown in, so whats not to like.
A very warm welcome received
A very warm welcome was received from Suzanne and David immediately when we arrived. Suzanne also gave us our own folder of all the information we needed for our stay. Our ten year old chocolate Labrador was also made most welcome. The toilets and shower were very clean and the site was lovely and quiet with dark skies. Great walks from the site and further afield you have moors, beaches, National Trust properties etc. etc. We especially enjoyed the Plymouth Harbour boat trip and Cotehele NT, both dog friendly. Hopefully we can return to Hendrifton Farm soon.
Lovely site
Have just spent 2weeks at this lovely site David and Sue where lovely and mad made you very welcome. It stat states its dog friendly that is an understatement it is the best dog friendly site we have been on so much space for our dogs too run around.Thanks for the sweet home grown tomatoes. We really liked the booklet you where where given for your stay so much information it was brilliant idea
Just superb as usual,….simply superb
This has been our third visit to David and Suzanne at Hendrifton Farm CL, and my wife Jill and I have enjoyed yet another SUPERB 28 nights holiday here. We just love this place, and wish it was in shorter striking distance to where we live. David and Suzanne are simply excellent hosts and are such genuinely warm, kind, and very thoughtful people who truly go to the very outer limits to make your holiday a most welcoming and a thoroughly enjoyable experience throughout.
Hendrifton is an ideal base for visiting all the major attractions within the county of Cornwall, though is also perfectly situated to enable visits to attractions across the border into neighbouring Devon.
In summary, we simply cannot praise David and Suzanne, and their wonderful Certificated Site enough, and we say a “huge thank you” for all you did for us to make our holiday so very special yet again !!. Last but by no means least, thank you too to David and Suzanne’s dogs Bob and Reka for readily playing with our own canine handful “Jen” 🐕. We cannot wait for our next visit. As the reader of this review will fully anticipate …… we thoroughly recommend Hendrifton Farm for your holiday in Cornwall

Lovely welcome and great facilities
Stayed here for a week in June. Site had lovely views down over open countryside, a male/female toilet and the best free shower I have had on a CL, plus the added bonus of free WIFI so we could watch Netflix films, borrow books or help yourself to fresh herbs. There was even a baby owl in the tree behind our caravan which we went out and saw at night. Lovely welcome on arrival with the option to set up on a few pitches and an information folder. We timed our arrival with 'National Scone Day' so were treated to one of Suzanne's fabulous cream teas and bought one of her yummy fresh loaves of sourdough bread. During our stay the weather was not at its best so we did have to take down our awning (high winds) and unfortunately any goundsheets including breathable ones are not allowed.
We cycled down and around Siblyback Lake (the cafe does an awesome vegan breakfast), visited various NT properties (Cothele, Antony, Lanhydrock), walked along the river from the site to Golitha Falls, Port Issac (Doc Martin fame), Padstow (Rick Stein fish and chips), Looe and the banjo pier, Wadebridge (Camel Trail free parking at Borough Arms Dunmere) and Minions and the standing stones.
We can see why the site is so popular and would return for some more of the fabulous scones and hopefully better weather.

Our TENTH YEAR of staying at Hendrifton Farm!!
This is our tenth year of staying at this fabulous Caravan and Motorhome CL site. Says it all! Our kids have grown up here, learned to ride their bikes here, walked our dogs here (excellent dog/outdoor games field), learned to fill/empty the water/waste here. It's a gem! Lots to do nearby, particularly Siblyback Lake and Golitha Falls. On site shower and toilet block. The shower is the best of all sites we've ever stayed at! Lastly but most importantly are Suzanne and David and their little dogs. They are always warm and welcoming. Ooh and the site has been extended! Lovely grassy site with gravel entrance road. This is how all CL's should be!!
