Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: CarolineAndTim 4 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Trewethett Farm. I have to say, we could find no wrong with this site. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. The site has amazing views across the bay and the pitches were huge with plenty of space between units. There are two toilet blocks, a purpose built one and a portacabin. Both were immaculate and had plenty of hot water.

We took our tent and, yes, it was very windy, but the site is on an exposed area right on the edge of the cliffs - if you're expecting gentle breezes, you should have paid more attention to your geography teacher at school!

This site is definitely for people like us - pull your walking boots on and go and explore. The South West coast path runs right past the site and will take you to Tintagel and Boscastle - both well worth a visit. The plus side to sites like this is it doesn't attract what I can only describe as 'chavs'. The peace at night (even during May half term) is amazing.

Reviewer: Mikemoss 18 reviews from this member

 First the good news: the views are tremendous, partly from the pitches in the field and there's direct access to the coastal path.

Now the not so good news: when full (as it often is) the serried ranks of barely-large-enough pitches create the feeling of a housing estate, rather than a farm camping site. The closeness of everyone seems to create a sterile atmosphere with everyone keeping pretty much to themselves. Yes, people are polite and friendly but there's not much of a holiday atmosphere.

The bit that, to me at any rate, means I won't be going back is the regimented way in which the site seems to be run by the Caravan Club. We were woken at 9. 0am by the raucous exhaust of the vehicle used to empty the bins, leaving just 1. 5 hours before the one and only shower block closes for cleaning. The seemingly endless routine of cutting, cleaning, maintaining is presumably laid down by the Caravan Club, but here as elsewhere it does seem to result in the virtual destruction of anything vaguely resembling the countryside. It's called Trewethett FARM for goodness sake, not Trewethett Suburban Garden.

Finally, please would the Club arrange some advanced coaching in customer relations for the husband and wife wardens who dealt so very badly with my comments.

 Visited over the Easter Weekend, weather sunny cold and windy. Not busy at all, lots of cancellations apparently. We chose a pitch tucked away against the hedge to give some shelter and sat back to enjoy what must be one of the finest views in England.

Facilities second to none, warm welcome from the efficient staff, not as authoritarian as some CC staff can be.

We walked to Tintagel and Boscastle, which require a reasonable level of fitness, and enjoyed some time down on the beach (Bossinney Haven). Again it's not the easiest to get to, but that means a good chance of having the place to yourself.

We gave up waiting for the Fish and Chip van, there was some confusion over the timings but I guess these things happen as the season was just starting.

We will definitely be going back.

Reviewer: Eustace 10 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a very enjoyable two week stay on this site. Very friendly staff. Whole site is kept immaculate. Ignore comments about being overgrown, just wild areas as it is on the top of a cliff. Yes we did take the awning down because of the wind but this didn't spoil our stay. Only to be expected on a site like this.

Scones from the Home made pasty shop in Tintagel are really lovely but their pasties can be variable depending on the staff at the time.

Well worth a visit. Plenty to do in the area.

Fish and chip van is very good. Spotlessly clean and excellent value for money.

 We have just returned from a week at this site. We had a fantastic time we pitched our caravan on the top field at the side and had a full view of the bay and sea.

The week we were there it was very hot no rain at all and no wind. The sunsets were to die for and the last night was the best. Pure orange all over. The site is the best and so are the wardens.

The fish & chips on a tues and friday evening are great. We will be back, can not wait.

Fursdon Farm - Liskeard

A small south facing camping and caravanning site situated on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor near Liskeard, Cornwall with views over surrounding countryside. Two areas for tents, caravans and motorhomes with hardstanding or grass pitches, with or without electric hook ups. Glamping at Fursdon includes 3 stunning Pods, an authentic Shepherds Hut, as well as a fantastic communal cooking and social area.

Superb facilities including toilets, showers and laundry, site wide WIFI, designated dog-walking area, reception area and small shop and an electric vehicle charging point. Ideally situated for access to beaches and moorland in Cornwall and west Devon! Find out more here

Reviewer: Ajbibs 17 reviews from this member

 Stopped for 3 nights on the way back up from Cornwall. Fantastic site, fantastic location, fantastic views. We pitched on the top field over looking Bossiney Cove (recommend going down on to the beach when the tides out and it’s dog friendly too).

The site is situated about half way between Tintagel and Boscastle and both can be reached along the coastal path which passes along the edge of the site; walking time approx. 1- 1 ½ hrs in either direction. All the usual CC facilities are to be found here – toilets / showers, dish wash, laundry, motor home waste point, etc. And all kept to the usual high standard club members have come to expect. The wardens are friendly and never seem to stop except to chat. An added advantage is the local bus stops at the top of the drive (although not an official stop) so getting about without a car isn’t an issue. Oh and a fish ‘n’ chip van calls twice a week in the evening. !

Tintagel Castle (under the management of English Heritage) is worth a look round (and is dog friendly), just be warned though that there are numerous steps to be climbed. The Visitors Centre at Boscastle is also worth a visit as it recalls the floods of August 2004 (plus you can grab a cream tea).

Will we return - you bet!

Reviewer: Barb n Barney 14 reviews from this member

 This is the second time we stayed here for a long weekend. It is a brilliant site and suits us down to the ground. Not great for kids as there is no adjacent beach - so that means the site is relatively quiet which we prefer. There are the most fabulous walks in each direction directly from the site. We have walked to Trebarwith Strand - make sure the tide is out to see this fab beach at its best and then we caught the bus back. A really healthy walk in the opposite direction takes you to Crackington Haven via Boscastle and then the bus back.

The site is standard caravan club with spotlessly clean ablution blocks. The porta cabins look a bit grim from the outside but are really well appointed inside with very hot water. One of the things that puts this site way above some caravan club sites are the wardens. Here they are pleasant chatty and helpful. They have excellent customer service skills and don't possess a 'jobs worth' cap - a characteristic which is sometimes all too abundant on other sites.

I cannot understand why people grumble about it being windy - surely the view is worth the breeze - it is after all the North Coast of Cornwall. The sunsets are to die for so lets celebrate the rugged cliffs, the Atlantic Ocean and be grateful that the Caravan Club own such a wonderful site. 


Date of Visit: July 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Yvonnepadley 15 reviews from this member

 Having read all the excellent reviews of this site we booked in for a total of 6 nights. Upon arrival we were informed that we had booked an economy pitch with no electric hook up. As this was a genuine mistake we were quickly allocated to a normal standard pitch. (I was unaware that the Caravan Club did economy pitches, so note to self is to check next time).

The views from the site are excellent if you manage to get one of the better pitches, however this seems to be a popular site so there is no guarantee of a pitch with a view.

The grass pitches are on a sloped tent field which was very sodden given the poor weather conditions. The tent field has a portable cabin for toilet and shower facilities with the main part of the site having a brick built shower block. I found the facilities to be totally inadequate for a site this big to only have one shower block.

As you can imagine in the mornings the queues for the ladies showers were quite long, therefore I decided to walk to the portable cabin rather than wait. The Portable cabins are clean however the space is very small not much room to dry and dress. The showers are push button and only last for 10 to 15 seconds which is very annoying.

The site I found to be disappointing, the verges are all overgrown and it looks very much like nature is taking over this site. There are no flowers or shrubs around the shower block just some large boulders which looked very barren like a moon landscape.

We walked along the coastal path into Boscastle which is not for the faint hearted. The coastal path was quite treacherous in places which I believe was due to the heavy rain which we have had during the past few weeks.

There is a bus which you can catch from Boscastle which drops you just outside the CC site.

There are no cycle paths within this area, however we drove to Wadebridge (about 18 miles away) and cycled along the Camel Trail into Padstow. The cycle trail is off road and very good for all abilities and families, you can hire cycles from Wadebridge.

Although we enjoyed our stay at this site I would not return here as I feel that there are other sites in the area with a better location and facilities suitable for the size of the site.

 What a lovely site. Probably the most friendly wardens we have come across. Lovely clean toilet block. A well stocked shop, great for bread, milk etc.

Yes, it is a windy site but you can forgive that, the views are stunning out to sea. We walked back from Tintagel, very rocky and up and down on the coastal path but again beautiful.

Club wifi as always very reliable.

Bus service from the top of the road was great, we visited, Tintagel, Boscastle, and Port Isaac. Consider a day rover ticket it is the best value.

Would thoroughly recommend.

Reviewer: Scarletsfan 92 reviews from this member

 Access to this site is relatively straight forward, but be sure to follow the CC directions. Sat nav will take you down some very narrow lanes and you wil get stuck.

The site is perched on the cliff tops between Boscastle and Tingadel and is very exposed to everything the Atlantic can throw at it. This is the first site I have ever stayed on that I have had to take the awning down for fear of it being destroyed by the weather.

The site is big and set out in terraced cul de sacs. The upper part of the site is served by portable cabin toilet blocks while the other traditional toilet block struggle to keep up with demand.

The views out to sea are stunning, but with that comes pitch envy, and every morning as pitches with a better view come free teh peace of the site is somewhat disturbed by residents racing and sometimes arguing over available pitches and relocating within the site.

Unless you are content to be ripped off by eith Londis or Spar in Tingadel food shopping involved a rather long drive.

This site is wild and rugged, and apart from the mowed pitches had an unkempt feel to it.

Don't think we will be returning here.
