Tranquil and peaceful.

The owner Trudi was welcoming and friendly on our arrival, she pointed out the area and several aspects regarding the CL and various points of interest. Trudi also advised us about issues with her elderly dog that had a tendency to use the CL field as his toilet. She would clear any mess when necessary and would do a regular inspection. Though this is not entirely satisfactory, the dog was there before the CL was set up. Because we were made aware of this issue it did not cause us any problems and in our eyes it is little different to dog owning club members who let their animals run free on sites. Ideally no dogs should be allowed to run free on any CL or Club Site but at present this is not the case. We had no access problems to the CL however the access lane is narrow like many in Cornwall. There is a footpath at the back of the site that leads directly to the local pub some 300 to 400 yards away; nothing was blocking this route on our visit in August 2012. Though the pub is close it is not close enough to cause any problems on site ( I.e. No noise etc.). The site is in fact very quiet and peaceful. There is no hard standing but the field is surprisingly firm and we had no problems with our 3 ton motorhome. For walkers, turn right directly on leaving site and following the narrow lane, then take signed footpaths, plus other lanes to get to Carbis Bay, takes about 30 minutes. From Carbis Bay you can then walk to St Ives via the coastal path route. O/S Map is handy

Disappointed

We were really looking forward to our stay on this site as it is close to St Ives. On arrival we were greeted by the owner and shown the area where we could pitch. There are no views from the site and the access road is narrow. Care also needs to be taken at the entrance with longer outfits. The site had a general air of untideness, e.g. an old boat trailer used to block a footpath. The main concern was the presence of dog dirt on the field, some of which looked as if it had been there for a while. When pointed out to the owner, she did attempt to clean it up, throwing it into the hedge. She also warned us that her dog liked to urinate on caravan wheels! Their dog seems to be free to roam the site unsupervised and we witnessed it urinating on our waste water carrier next morning. We are not anti-.dog and are dog owners ourselves but expect certain hygeine standards. We were booked on the site for over a week but were not prepared to stay due to the conditions on the site. If the dog issue was resolved then the site would be acceptable.

Quite site

Very quiet and secluded site. Trudie is very helpful and friendly. Please note entrance and exit is narrow so twin axles and large outfits will struggle to get up narrow driveway and there is a telegraph post as you try to leave Penrose House. We stayed there august 4th for a week and needed a motor mover to get our twin axle out.
