Super site

A super site with all the necessary hook ups, drinking water in several places, excellent waste disposal point and even a waste water cleaning point. The owner Bruce is a super chap and very willing to help out with any problems. Site is close to fowey and other seaside towns, an ideal spot for south Cornwall, Richard Lake

What a terrific 5 nights we've just had at Toynes House CL. Bruce was very helpful and efficient during the booking advising on whether we could get in and was present on our arrival helping us choose where to pitch and explain all the CL details. After that he was on hand if required but not at all intrusive. Very interesting summary of the history of Toynes House and the CL in the 'Summer House' on site with lots of other useful info (bus times/walks/useful nos etc). Huge amount to do in the area, we golf and played Carlyon Bay (awesome), Porthpean (good vfm) and Lanhydroc (beautiful). Explored Fowey, Charlestown and Mevagissey and visited Lanhydroc House (NT) and had a day at Polridmouth Cove (NT). The site is spacious (full when we were there and lots of room between pitches), the road much quieter than I expected being the main road in and out of Fowey and seemed empty at night. Entrance a bit cheeky with our UK Fifth Wheel and the only very minor criticism I have is that Bruce could trim some of the bushes on the entrance/exit as we had to force our mirrors through them to get in/out. Very quiet and dark at night and we'll definitely be back next time we are in this area as much left to explore.

VERY GOOD SITE and good location

This is a very pleasant site with some hardstanding and grass pitches. Water is available to 'plumb in' for a couple of the pitches but you may need an extra long hose to connect! Whilst the site is next to the road there is very little traffic during the night and what there was did not cause us any concern. Bruce is a very welcoming host and always at hand to help in any way he can. He keeps the site very tidy and clean. Care is needed when accessing and leaving the site as the entrance is a little narrow and there is not so much room to manoeuvre. Traffic is quite fast moving. Some good walks from the site and nearby. Bus to Fowey every hour is a great asset as parking in the town is very limited and expensive! Fowey is a small but lovely town to explore. Some nice & interesting shops, several cafes and restaurants. A highly recommended site in a good area.

April 2023 at Toynes House CL Fowey

We stayed at this site during April and found it to be pleasant and welcoming. There is a dog walk on site and an abundance of flora. Our host Bruce was helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. The bus stop is two minutes from site and the bus runs every hour to Fowey in one direction and Charlestown, (highly recommend), St Austell and Mevagissey in the other. In our opinion the best and most fairly priced CL in Fowey and we will definitely return. M & S Stevens

A Definate Favourite

What a little gem of a site. The regular bus route right on the doorstep made travel to Fowey and Charlestown a pleasure during the busy holiday season. Bruce was friendly and welcoming. We found the history of the site fascinating and we will definately be back - we loved the layout of the site, the rustic feel and the wild grass areas.

We’ll definitely be back ❤️

A very picturesque CL with extremely easy access to public transport which made exploring Fowey and Charlestown very easy (as both were very busy with lots of holidaymakers) Bruce was very welcoming and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this CL….as we said earlier, this is definitely a venue we’ll be revisiting

Lovely week at Toynes House CL

We arrived at the site and we’re welcomed by our name on a chalk board at the entrance to the site. We found a lovely spot in the grounds which were very rustic and peaceful. We were welcomed by Bruce, who was very friendly and explained what was available on the site and told us about local attractions. Our pitch was fully serviced and Bruce had even installed Wi-Fi recently. Waste bins were close by so everything was to hand. While at Toynes house we visited, Restormel castle, the Eden project, the lost Gardens of Heligan, the beautiful local town Fowey and made a visit to St Austell. On our last day as suggested by Bruce we took the ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey harbour and we’re delighted to see dolphins en route. There are no walks from the site but a bus stop is only about 5 minutes away so very convenient. A lovely week here and would thoroughly recommend it,

Lovely peaceful place to pitch

I recommend this lovely little place to stay. Bruce, the owner gave me a very warm welcome and was super helpful. The grassy pitch was surrounded by trees and daffodils in late March which is very pretty peaceful and safe although being on the top of a hill appeared to catch the wind a little. The site is just as described in terms of amenities and close by car or bus to the pretty coastal town of Fowey and great access to Cornish coves and beaches. I visited Lanhydrock NT (20 mins) during my stay and the Eden project was en route which never fails to disappoint. I’m looking forward to visiting Toynes house again soon during my many adventures in Cornwall

Lovely holiday

We have stayed at Toynes house three times and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bruce is very welcoming and helpful and even puts your name up on blackboard ready for your arrival, which is nice touch. The CL is described accurately on the web site so you know what to expect when you get there. The busses are very convenient for getting to places especially if you have a motor home or camper van. Bruce suggested going to Golant, which is only one and a half miles away and we had a lovely walk there and a good lunch at the local pub. St. Austell is very convenient for shopping and not far. The Eden project is also not far away as are The lost Gardens of Heligan and there is a lovely farm shop there too with dedicated parking for motor homes. Altogether a very nice place to stay for a holiday.

Average

Toynes House CL is 2 miles outside Fowey and adjacent to the B 3296, one of two busy roads leading to the town centre. The site is spacious and enclosed by tall trees under which pitches are located, and consequently water continues to drip on the roof after rain. Some of the site is left wild. Walking into Fowey is not practicable as there is no roadside path, but there is a longer route via footpaths and minor lanes. An hourly bus service from Fowey to Mevagissey passes the site. Information posted on the club website about this CL is a tad misleading and the 5 ticks awarded by past users suggests that despite the £20 per night, some members are easily pleased.
