Fantastic place to stay. All the items you need to self cater and a washing machine. The site itself is very quiet, even with the road by it. Lovely and relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed a great week here (our 3rd time) with trips out to Seaton Beach, Looe, Liskeard, The Lizard and Fowey. The 73a bus stop right outside to the front gate makes getting to Looe without the worry of a car an absolute must do. And hen to get back and chill ut in the pool area is beyond compare!
