Fantastic site in an excellent location with fab wardens.

Having been coming to this site for 24 years, we were very happy to have spent our summer here. The site is so well suited to get to both coasts and plenty of interesting places. The new wardens and assistants offer a very relaxed stay and make sure everyone enjoys their stay. The old toilet block has had an update and offered plenty of hot water with very little waiting. This year they had a pizza company for 2 evenings which provided fantastic fresh pizza as well as the fish and chip van.keep up the great work.

Cornish holiday

The site was a little more remote than we realised, having a motorhome and a dog, we have to rely on public transport. This was very infrequent and often late, but the bus drivers were amazing and so helpful. The staff at the site are very helpful but a bit more detailed information on the buses would be helpful. A bus goes to St Ives and, in the opposite direction, St Agnes Head. The latter is really worth a visit and the walk along the coastal path gives amazing views. There is no pub within walking distance so you have to take this into consideration when meal planning. The site is very good for those wanting to surf or spend time on the beach.

Near beautiful beaches

We last visited this area 50 years ago, so we were looking forwards to revisiting the area. We were not disappointed. The site is very good, little bays of 5 or 6 pitches surrounded by flowers and shrubs. The grass pitches were well kept and the warden checked each pitch as the visitors left, before new people were allowed on. We found no problem with the hot showers, always piping hot, and only twice in 8 days did I need to queue and then only for a few minutes. Everything was kept spotless, and all around the site are water and waste water points. Easy to walk to the beach from here, there is a bus stop outside the site, with a Lidls just down the road, and a Marks and Spencers, and Boots a mile away. We found it easy to get to St Ives, Mousehole and the Minack Theatre from here, all about 30 - 40 minutes journey. The wardens were as usual for CC very friendly, and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

Great location near the beach

We stayed here for our main summer holidays in July, firstly I must say the weather was fabulous which makes such a difference, we had clear blue skies for most of our stay. For us the main attraction of this site is the close proximity to the vast sandy beach which was clean and dog friendly. To access the beach you have a 15 minute walk across sand dunes which would be very difficult to get across for people with reduced mobility. The beach is perfect for families, the sand shelves gently into the water so you had to walk quite far out before you were in deep water. In addition the beach is patrolled by lifeguards from the RNLI. The site wardens were helpful and friendly. All pitches at Godrevy are grass which we liked & they were well drained. Hayle is approx 2 miles away from the site and there is a full range of shops/supermarkets there. The town of St Ives is 5 miles away by road or a 75 minute walk along the beach during low tide. St Ives is well known and quaint but it was packed with tourists (like us) when we visited. In fact there were so many people that it was almost unpleasant. The beaches at St Ives are fantastic. So to sum up we had a great time at Godrevy largely helped by the wonderful weather, but also by the great location by a beautiful beach.

Nice Site, well located.

We stayed here for I week June 19. Very nice site with very polite and helpful wardens. We will be back soon as we very much enjoyed our stay. Only one slight negative is there were lots of dogs on site and some which seemed to be continually barking but this is not the fault of the site. All in all a very nice site.

Feel a need to write another review in view of negative reviews

I was very sorry to read that some people have had a bit of an unhappy experience at Godrevy and although Ive written reviews before I felt compelled to write again. We went for a long weekend as our son lives in Hayle (so we are regular visitors). We went 14 to 17 June when the weather had been torrential rain. Knowing that Godrevy is all grass pitches we were a bit worried about being on grass but there were not problems at all. The site was pretty much full but we had no problems finding a pitch or with anything at all. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay as usual. The site was as well run as ever. The sun actually shone too. There were lots of dogs on the site (including our 3) but there were no problems at all with noise, mess or anything. Thank you to the team for keeping the standards up on this site. We look forward to seeing you again in October.

Very Wet June holiday 2019

We have been to this site many years running always in June or sept. The site gets very busy and crowded during school and bank holidays. It is a basic typical club site clean and tidy and just across from the main beach costal road which in places is narrow and bendy. The present wardens are fairly new and pleasant. The approach to the site incurs a fairly sharp right hand turn into the entrance and a even more sharp left hand turn on exit on to a main beach costal road. The site has two wooden gates to the entrance, the Left hand one always being closed which made entrance and exit a one way manoeuvre. ie only one vehicle could leave or enter at the same time. This caused us a nasty accident when trying to leave the site whilst a post office van was trying to squeeze into the site at the same time. Ie. as we turned sharp left on leaving the rear of the caravan swung out and hit the side of the post office van trying to get in to the site at the same time. There was nothing else we could do to avoid it. Although we complained to the club directly and the site was inspected by a club area manager we were told the gate would remain closed to STOP speeding motorists entering the site. ( namely the post office van) To our surprise this year on entering the site both gates to the site were left wide open and this was the case for our entire visit morning noon and night. Had the club not been so obstinate and awkward several years back regarding the gate we would never had our accident. I find the Caravan and Motorhome club can be very stubborn and down right awkward when it wants to be taking very little notice of club members views. The site has not changed in the 10 or more years we have been going to it although I was told by one of the present wardens that the site has recently had the toilet and shower block renovated with new water pumps fitted to improve the water pressure. I have news for the club you have wasted your money as the water pressure to the showers and sinks is still NOT good especially at busy times.

Comment from the Community Manager:

I’m sorry to have learnt of your disappointing stay. The decision to keep both gates open was to improve traffic management, this decision was taken by our current Regional Manager and seems to be working well for the site, though I am sorry to have learnt of the incident you experienced some time ago. The new toilet and shower block has been warmly received by members and feedback about these has been positive, I am sorry this wasn’t your experience and hope despite this and a wet stay you will consider a future stay when planning trips to this beautiful area of Cornwall.

Great site to stay.

We arrived at the site very early on the first day of our holiday. The wardens were friendly and welcoming and advised us to have a walk around the site and select a pitch which we did. As soon as the pitch had been mowed we were allowed on to the site to pitch up, relax and start our holiday. The facilities were kept clean throughout our stay. As was the whole site. A valid point from a previous review is that perhaps a couple more Elsan points at the more remote parts of the site would be good. But, it is hard to fault the site. The site itself and its location are excellent. Would i visit again? Yes and i intend to later in the summer. To the staff, keep up the good work.

Spring break

Had 12 nights at this fantastic site weather was a little windy first few days but dry and quite warm. Wardens were so friendly and helpful , the site is kept immaculate, toilets are as usual to club standards so clean. Maybe the club could invest into creating more chemical points around site as from some pitches it is a long way to the only one in the toilet block. All in all fantastic for my cavapoo dog with the beach mins away, great couple of weeks. Will definitely be back-soon.

Not made welcome!

We arrived at the site at 20 minutes past eight expecting to pull in quietly and see the warden in the morning. I would have put our membership card through the office letter box. However we were approached by the warden and I immediately apologised for us being late, we had had a long difficult day. She was not interested in my apology but concerned that we were 'foreign' as we have French plates on our car. I explained that we had been held up but she demanded my card to prove that we were members. We were told to pitch on the first available pitch and not to drive around. Of course we were happy to do this. The following morning I went to the office to explain that we did not feel welcome and we had only been 20 minutes late. I was not looking to argue and I thought we could easily smooth the situation and we would then enjoy our holiday. Instead I got a lecture on her working hours, fire regulations, and various questions about how far we had driven and that we should have stopped at the services overnight. I decided we would not stay as long as we had booked as I found her attitude rude and unwelcoming. She could so easily have put things right, she had no idea what sort of day we had had but was only concerned at being put out. The site was clean and very pleasant, the walk to the beach was excellent for the dogs and we enjoyed the local area. We may return another year when different wardens are on site. I accept that it is a difficult job and hard work but we provide holiday accommodation ourselves and would never treat a guest in this manner. I found it quite upsetting
