Far from the Madding Crowd

Lovely quiet little site, in a very open, well-kept field adjoining a charming farm. We had the furthest pitch and for 2 nights no neighbours, and as our water tap was right next to the caravan we could use it like a service pitch with water permanently connected (we did disconnect when away in case anyone needed it though). The night sky and masses of stars were a real treat on a clear night, as there is minimal light pollution. We recommend the St Buryan Inn down the road for excellent and reasonably priced food, and if you are a history buff take a look in the pretty church across from the pub - it has a wealth of interesting stories about the origins of the church and the village. We mainly came here as a base for a visit to the Minack Theatre, but would definitely come back again as it's perfect for exploring the real Cornwall - Newlyn, Mousehole, Paul, Sennen, and of course, Penzance. And Mrs Sampson is really lovely and friendly as well!

A lovely site

This is a lovely site. The approach is along a long track that is a bit rough and the actual entrance to the field is a bit tight - not much room for error! The owner is very friendly and runs the B&B in the adjacent farmhouse. The site is laid out with 5 EHUs spread out along the edge of the field with two taps between 1 & 2 and 4 & 5. The waste disposal is beyond 5 - the chemical waste disposal requires some care in use, but it's not a problem. The Wifi is a BT hotspot and was generally quite good. Mobile phone(EE) and TV reception was good. The site is a very slightly sloping mown firm grass field. There are good views from the site. The only noise you hear is that from the farm, mainly tractors and cows, but that is to be expected. There is no longer a bus service from the site, but access to the Cornish coast by car anywhere west of Penzance is easy - there are some lovely walks along the coastal path, with some lovely little coves, often with sandy beaches. We would definitely stay on this site again, it's one of the best we've used.

Our First Ever CC Holiday!

This was our first ever time away as a Caravan Club member, So we were unsure what to expect, we were greeted very promptly on arrival by the site owners who explained our pitches etc, The actual pitch was lovely, beautiful views and so peaceful! We have two little boys and they absolutley loved watching the cows coming in to graze and we were all made very welcome by one of the farm dogs, (Meg) We took the stroll over to see the stone circle and the site owners gave us the map and all the info to take in whilst on the walk, it is a very central location, near to Lands End and the beautiful Porthcurno, a short drive to Penzance, Marazion and St Ives. We had a wonderful time, we were sad to say goodbye, but we will re visit one day.. Thank you Mr and Mrs Sampson for making our holiday such an enjoyable experience!.

A good base for exploring.

Access to Trelew Farm is down a long & narrow track with quite a few pot holes. The owners are very friendly & helpful. This CL is long with well spaced pitches facing south. the chem' waste needed some care, inlet access is quite small for emptying, spillage can happen if not extremely careful. This is a working dairy farm and tractors etc go through the site at times to access adjoining fields, this should not affect the visitors to the CL. Walks from site are a bit suspect. Coastal walks here are stunning, we used the local buses quite a lot so that we could do linear walking. While staying here we took the opportunity to have a day trip to the Scilly Isles, To enjoy the day to it's maximum we used the Sky-bus from Land's End which enabled us to walk all around St Marys (12 miles), A most magical day. The Minnack theatre is definitely worth a visit....

A lovely site near Lands End

A lovely well kept site. Plenty of space. Grass kept short. Friendly owners. When our awning blew down during some particularly bad weather, whilst we were out, the farmer kindly sorted it out for us. Only 10 mins from the fantastic open air Minnack Theatre, which we loved. About 1 hour and 20 from the Eden Project. Highly recommended.
