Date of Visit: October 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Jelly8 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Tencreek for the fist time in the October half term. The booking process was really easy and the lady on the phone was lovely.

We had a hard standing pitch and it was flat and large.

The toilet block was excellent, it was always clean and dry even though it never stopped raining.

I have to say the staff on this site were always pleasant and everyone we spoke to was really helpful.

The FREE indoor swimming pool was brilliant for our 9 year old and he really enjoyed it. The only thing that let it down was the showers and a lot of people went to the shower block wrapped in towels from the swimming pool area rather than using the showers there.

The entertainment for the children in the evening was good and the entertainers really tried hard. It was a bit young for our son but he liked the arcade so there was something for him to do.

The food was good, we had the roast chicken and to say it was really bar food we thought it was lovely. We also had a family pizza deal one night to take away and that was really good value and as good a pizza as I've had anywhere.

The campsite is in a really good location for Looe and Polperro and the large car parks at both places makes it really easy to get around.

 Just got home from an impulse weekend at this site. Given the last minute rush of warm weather, I telephoned the site Friday am and the very friendly, helpful lady informed me I could just turn up, if reception was closed we could register at the bar.

So straight after work we set off (we only live 30 minutes away but have never visited this site before). We arrived just after 6 and the bar manager booked us in and gave us our choice of pitch. This is one of the best sites we've been on in over 10 years of camping.

The toilet/shower blocks were the best we've ever come across, free, warm, clean, well stocked and best of all, the showers were always hot - 10/10 for that alone!

The outdoor pool was closed but the indoor looked clean and inviting - we didn't actually get around to using it.

The meal was a bit hit and miss from the grill but ok. The entertainment was fun but the serious stuff - ie: the main event didn't start until after 9, the earlier part being all for the children except for half an hour of bingo in the middle.

Fair play to the Maplins style Yellow Coats though, very entertaining. The only very slight niggle we had as smokers (although this applies to non-smokers too) the only space outside the club for smokers is right outside the entrance and you can't take your glass outside. People have to walk through the crowd outside smoking to get in.

Bar prices: some people have said here they are expensive but as a local to the area I have to say they are average for Cornwall at any time of the year.

There is a small play area for the children, a games room in the club and dogs are welcome on site with an area to walk them.

Our medium pitch with electric was flat, big enough for our 6 man tent and estate car with room to sit out.

The shop was well stocked - a bit pricey but no more than the average campsite shop.

All in all great VFM. This is a lovely, clean, spacious site with great views. The staff were without exception friendly, professional & helpful. Be warned Tencreek, we will be back! 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: NCLC 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for 4 nights in Aug. On arrival it is a very calm site, reception were very nice. On arriving at our pitch the road is a little tight between your neighbours opposite so we had to take the caravan off and push it in, but the pitchers were quite wide. We were opposite the new toilet/shower block which was very nice and modern. The views around the site were lovely, the statics had the sea view but this was due to the slope I think. The club house was fine, with kids entertainment followed by adults, bar prices a little more than average but nothing unusual. The take away food counter was fine. During the morning there were allocated time slots for adults only swim and aqua aerobics, we didn't go though. There was kids entertainment during the mornings. There was not a lot of noise after dark. The nearest beach can be walked to but down a very steep slope named locally as cardic hill, we managed it but those with buggies etc would not be able to do it. Once down at the beach there is a cafe/bar. We walked into Looe through the lane and took approx 25 mins but no good for families as a little unsafe with no pavement. Overall not a bad site.

 I booked this site because we could only get the first week of our two week holiday at our preferred site in north Cornwall, so we decided on a change of scenery in the south of the county.

We arrived very early in the morning (8am) and weren't supposed to be on our pitch until 11am but the staff were more than helpful and let us set our touring caravan & awning up straight away on an available pitch. I'd booked the medium size pitch and I was impressed with the ample space afforded, easily the most generous size pitches I'd been on for a long time (especially in Cornwall) and there was plenty of room for the 'van/awning and seating with room at the front of the pitch for the car.

The toilet block was modern, large and well lit with free showers, no annoying 20p coins to find as is the case in some sites. I visited these facilities at various times of the day/night and they were invariably clean and well stocked with the necessary requirements : toilet rolls/soap etc

The clubhouse/bar was also large and modern though the cabaret was more aimed at keeping the youngsters entertained. The bingo seemed popular and with a £500 prize it wasn't surprising. The food was a bit hit & miss, we ordered a burger meal to eat in and it was disappointing to say the least. The portions seem larger if bought as a takeaway. The bar prices were a wee bit pricey, £3. 20 for a pint of Tribute local bitter.

Overall, the site was well run and easy going, with children well catered for. It was within easy reach of Looe, either by car or by foot. The facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

 Went touring Cornwall on my motorbike with a two man tent & stopped at Looe.

This is the closest site to Looe so thought it would be ideal.

Its expensive - £21 a night for just me !

Having said that its is a very `corporate` site. Think of it as a Butlins or a Pontins and you get the gist. It would be superb to bring my daughter to.

Didn`t use the pool although it looked good. Popped into the large cabaret room and bar which was huge and they even had staff wearing yellow coats and people dressed up as animals ! Very much aimed at the kids market. Beer prices were expensive although they had a good selection.

The shop was fairly well stocked but was (you`ve guessed it!) very expensive.

The toilets and shower block was superb. Loads of room and the cubicles were plenty. Very very nice.

Within easy reach of Looe and good views although its exposed so can get very windy. A taxi costs less than a fiver to Looe which was good as this is really a family site and if you haven`t got kids with you its a bit manic !

In summary a very nice site but expensive, but there again if you have your kids in tow it would probably be reasonable value for money

Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Ayers family 8 reviews from this member

 When we arrived there was a lot of unhappy faces around along with a lot of puddles and soggy pitchs. We were told to go and pick a pitch and the deciding factor was the one with the smallest puddle on it.

Some of our fellow campers said they had lots of rain every day for the previous 2 weeks but we arrived with the sun shining which is a bonus. The large pitches are not very large but big enough for our large twin axle caravan, big awning and car with room to spare.

As mentioned the pitchs are not very big and as the service road is not very wide it was difficult to get our caravan on and 2 very helpful chaps helped me push it on, thanks chaps.

The site it self is good, food/meals were a little dearer but the portions were okay, both swimming pools were popular and the shop had all the essentials although a little dear. The entertainment was okay for little kiddies or bingo lovers, the Bob Marley tribute was good fun. Not much entertainment for teenagers unless you want to keep paying for the arcade.

Lots of seasonal pitches which could do with some TLC. I enjoyed the walk to Talland bay and then along the coastal path to Looe. A great view over the sea and looking out towards Plymouth,

Toilets and showers were modern, clean and numerous. There was a bloke pressure washing the toilets floor. , overall and despite the rain which is inevitable in Cornwall we had a good time and would visit Tencreek again.

Reviewer: Funkymunk33 1 review from this member

 Family of four,2 Adults & 2 Girls 11 & 14 Camping in a Tent. Arrived Friday at midday and checked in at reception the receptionist was on the phone to a friend at the time but in between snippets of what curtains she was buying we managed to establish (by means of head nods and exaggerated hand gestures) which pitch we were located. Arrived at pitch No 136 and was so pleased as pitch was large and flat, excellent drainage. If camping in a tent ask for the pitches at the back of the campsite as the sea views and size are perfect we had a 6 Berth Vango Nile with one extra side pod which fitted like a glove!

The toilets/shower rooms were spot on for size and warmth I believe the toilets were cleaned in the mornings and afternoons and we found that it was pretty normal for cleanliness for the amount of people using the facilities. The clubhouse caters for the lovers of cheap cabaret and over priced take away food. We did watch Man Utd get beat by Barca on the BIG SCREEN, which was a treat for me being a Liverpool Fan (Hee Hee) but if that is not your thing then you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of your own entertainment, we did not feel that it was an in your face campsite.

The surrounding area is one of the best around the walk to Looe or to Talland Bay is easy on the way down but one hell of a climb on the way back but the rewards are worth it if crabbing at Looe is your thing or chilling out at Talland Bay or having a snack or sneeky beer at the Quaint Smugglers Cove Cafe opposite the Bay.

All in all a nice chilled May Bank Holiday Break but my guess is that Summer would be a bit more congested.

Reviewer: RLcampers6 3 reviews from this member

 We visited this site because of a newspaper holiday deal. We were greeted warmly by reception. Our caravans were all clean and tidy. We were next to the children's playground, and though fairly small the kids liked it. The indoor pool was lovely and we visited it every day. Although when busy you do need to be watchful. There are also not many changing rooms, so many people walked back in a towel to change. The meals were nice and not too badly priced. The kids liked the entertainment, but wished for more dancing. Looe is gorgeous and the beach lovely. We would visit again.

Reviewer: Mark Sheehan 3 reviews from this member

 We were not on the site much and did not use the swimming pool, shop etc. But the shower block were spotlessly clean and very modern and refurbished.

The only negative point was that this site is exposed to the wind, so check the weather forecast if in a tent or awning in use.

The location is very good and the view out to see are rewarding.

We paid £11 for the night for the 2 of us and our small tent. Would come back again (if less windy).

 Had a great time at this site, mostly because the weather was wonderful all week. The caravan was adequate for our needs, lovely views over the sea to looe bay. Not many people on the site at this time of year,but that suited our needs. Polite and helpful assistants in reception and shop. Didn't go in the indoor pool but it looked very good. The touring site could do with tiding up around the caravans and some were rather dirty looking. Nice new block of toilets looked good. All in all I would go back. Would have been nice to have the club opened at weekend.
