Liked: Really lovely eco campsite with clean compost toilets, loads of green space, chickens and ducks nearby that we got some eggs from. There was plenty of trees and green space and a lovely area with park benches that we cooked and ate on We got a really warm welcome and it's really convenient for Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the beaches.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Lynn (did I get the spelling right?) was lovely and super helpful; the site was small but it's clear she cares about it deeply and wants it to be a place where people can come and enjoy nature and peace, from the local community as well as people travelling in. We had a perfect night despite the weather and can't wait to come back soon and see what she's done with the place next, it's only going to get better as more amenities get added!
