After Lockdown1 was lifted in 2020 we, like everyone else, were desperate to escape the confines of our home town and sought a 2 week holiday destination fairly near the seaside but that wouldn't be too busy. Tremarkyn completely ticked all the boxes. So much so, that at the end of our holiday in 2020 we immediately booked another 2 weeks in July 2021. We recommended the site to my parents who also visited last year and returned again this year.
Around 8 miles from Looe and on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor, Tremarkyn Farm is ideally placed for visits to both the North and South Coasts of Cornwall, whilst affording visitors (adults only) complete peace and tranquility.
Yes, the roads to the site are narrow, but that's only to be expected in Cornwall and its well worth the journey!
Entering through the farm gates and driving down to the site has a very French feel to it...you could be driving up to a farmhouse in Brittany. The site itself is immaculate - beautifully landscaped and large pitches which are divided by trees to give a little privacy.
There is a small toilet, basin and shower room which we did not make use of but were told is immaculately clean. Bins, including recycling, are discreetly hidden behind a hedge.
Trago Mills is around three miles away and sells just about anything you need and is worth a visit. A number of supermarkets are within a short drive. The London Inn is less than a mile from the site and although we didn't eat there we did visit for a couple of drinks and sat in the small courtyard with our two dogs. On the last night we had a delicious meal delivered from Tapenades, a small restaurant in Liskeard which is used regularly by the site owners and came highly recommended...and we can wholeheartedly agree!
The icing on the holiday cake are the owners, Eric and Jill. They are the perfect hosts which we quickly learned last year, and were a big factor in our return this year. Despite a very difficult year for them, they are still welcoming visitors with a smile. They are an incredibly interesting couple, very helpful and will happily recommend places to visit and give advice on the area. They are both an absolute pleasure to spend time with and we look forward to seeing them both again on our next visit.
