Easy enough site to find, although we thought we'd gone past it when following directions from the club handbook.This was not the case. Polgarth Farm has a wide & obvious entrance with big sign outside.Easier to look out for this rather than the 'white stones' as per the handbook! The pitches all have water & electric which is a wonderful provision! The pitches are all very well spaced out so you're not on top of each other. Pitch 1 is the best in our opinion because it's slightly more sheltered with beautiful hydrangea plants separating it from other pitches, giving more privacy. Recycling was easy & accessible. We didn't use the washroom facilities as these were out of bounds due to covid 19. Mr Parris is simply lovely! Very chatty, friendly, helpful, kind. Perhaps one of the loveliest site owners I've come across! He wasn't intrusive but he was always around if needed. If we had to criticise the site at all it would be lack of, or poor quality / cheap signage. When we arrived nobody was around to welcome us, which wasn't a problem, but with a dog, our first port of call is often a walk & we didn't know where to go for this so ended up walking out onto the main road with no pavement and finding ourselves down some back lanes in the middle of nowhere in not a particularly nice area which didn't fill us with much joy - first impressions & all that! This farm is large with lots of gates & fields going off the main entry driveway so they could easily incorporate a beautiful dog walk with poo bins & with clear & professional signage to things like dog walk, coastal path, washroom, etc. Even the information sheet given out later on into the evening of our arrival day wasn't very clear / a bit lacking. It's perhaps quite hard to explain things that are routine to you so signage on gates, tracks, fields would be really useful. Just a thought! It was very windy whilst we were there so go prepared for Cornish winds if you have an awning & ask for pitch one! There's a great camping shop just 100yds up the road from Polgarth Farm if in need which we found very useful. There are lovely walks direct from the site to the cove / coastal path in either St Agnes direction southwards or Perrenporth direction northwards. Something we discovered towards the end of our stay (unfortunately) was the wonderful Miners Arms pub a mile & a half away in the village of Mithian. Really quaint local pub with very friendly staff & wonderful food. We would highly recommend but you will need to book! Perhaps an information sheet with things like this on would be a helpful & welcoming tool to have upon arrival? But otherwise a lovely site and people & would return. Thank you Mr & Mrs Parris!
