Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Stunning site in a good location, impeccably clean toilets and showers, owners very friendly and accommodating, we had pitches 5 and 6 and the pitch sizes are huge, WiFi throughout the site is good. Could not be happier with our stay, thank you.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Brilliant site, sub-divided so more privacy. Mark and Annette were very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. Ablutions were top-notch. Will definitely go back there if we are in the area again. We did a lot of driving and siteseeing and Wheal Vreagh was perfectly located for this.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: The pitches were very spacious and the site was super quiet despite most pitches being occupied. The facilities block was modern and spotlessly clean. The Site owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
Disliked: A number of young children playing ball games on/around pitches but no designated area on site for them to do so which disrupted our own quiet time on occasion.

Liked: Very friendly campsite. Ideal location with lovely views. Facilities were always kept clean and fresh. We really loved the special touch of having the picnic bench ready for when we arrived. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to be back again soon.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: We had a warm welcome and felt at ease and relaxed as soon as we arrived. We were shown to our pitch and given instructions and guidance and then left to enjoy our break. The toilets and cleaning block were really well maintained and showers were hot and powerful. There was a good amount of space deliberately left in front of the pitches to allow for the children to play, which was perfect, and each pitch had a brilliant sized picnic table to use. (I would recommend packing a mallet as some of the ground was a bit hard and it took some effort to get the tent pegs in - not a problem if you have a mallet to hand!) We stayed for 4 nights with a 12,14 & 15 year old - packed plenty of games to keep ourselves entertained and used the site as a base to explore the Lizard and far west Cornwall. There was a good mix of younger and older children as well as couples etc. There are a couple of large supermarkets not too far away and the site even allowed use of a fridge and freezer if required. I would definitely recommend Wheal Vreagh Farm.
Disliked: There was really nothing not to like about our stay - my only small note would be that there has clearly been a lot of investment made into the site and it looks great. The only thing that lets it down is the 'reception area' at check in, which didn't have the same high standard as the rest of the site. So if you were visiting don't be put off by the first impression - the owners and rest of the site are perfect.

Liked: Pristine site with very spacious pitches, every pitch has a picnic table which is a nice touch. Facilities are very modern and new and clean at all times. Large shared fridge freezer is available and there is a laundry room with washing machine and dryer for a small fee. The owners are friendly and welcoming and gave us lots of ideas for places to visit during our stay. Free wifi which was reliable. Great location. This is one of the best campsites we have stayed at and will be booking again for next year

Stargazey 2 bedroom cabin
Liked: Perfect location for travelling around to attractions, landmarks etc. Although very quiet and secluded, lots of restaurants, takeaways, supermarkets nearby (approx. 10 minute drive). Annette and Mark were sooo friendly and helpful with suggesting ideal things to do in the area with a 1 year old. Highly recommend Lappa Valley if you have young children, great day out. Stayed in the Stargazey hut for 1 week. Was everything we needed and more. Super comfy double bed. Lots of space in the hut. Welcome basket and information pack was very lovely and useful :) Fully equipped kitchenette, iron, ironing board, airer (all really useful things that we actually used and not many other sites think of, so thank you :)) The hut was sparkling clean and designed to a fabulous quality. Toilets and showers across the way, always spotlessly clean and fully stocked. On site laundry room, with washing machine and tumble dryer. Very useful and actually used this. Reasonably priced. Lots of lovely grass space for our little one to play on. We would highly recommend this site to anyone and shall be returning in the future.
