Μου άρεσε: Area I have fond memories of visiting this part of Cornwall from my late teens when we tended to spend time around the towns of Wadebridge and Padstow and the beach at Rock. Now many years later, I was looking for smaller beaches with rock pools and with the aid of Google earth identified Booby’s and Travone Bays as suitable locations, both of which I found to be both beautiful and ideal for young children. I won’t go into the pros and cons of these further here. Site Coutts Glamping is to be found at the end of a single track and a short drive from the A39 at West Hill, near the Royal Cornwall Show Ground. On site parking, like most other amenities, is specific to the accommodation unit within the site and therefore named. It’s wise to know the name of your unit before leaving so that on arrival for the first time you can identify and park in the correct place. The site is small and has and safe and intimate feel about it. The units and the amenities are set out around a very well-manicured lawn. There is a mix of yurt, Shepherd Hut and log cabin style accommodations all offering a variety of size. The toilets are specific to the unit you’re staying in and are spotlessly clean and provided with everything thing needed. There are two communal showers, both are like you might find at home, there being a valve on the wall with a hose leading to a shower head. The showers have a good flow, and the temperature can be fully controlled. Both have a removable seat and good access. There is a small ‘Utility’ area in which one will find a larder style fridge and freezer. Both of which have named compartments for each unit. There was just two of staying in our unit and I found the amount of storage adequate, but I suspect that if I were part of a larger group the storage space may not have been enough, especially if you intend to prepare your own food rather than eating out. Two freezer packs are supplied, which we found very useful. The washing up area is to be found at the back of the utility and is comprised of a single sink and drainer. There is a small microwave. The utility area is small and two people make it feel crowded so you will need to pick your opportunities to use it.

Δεν μου άρεσε: The Lawn area in the centre of the site provides a wonderful safe area to play games, however, in my opinion, although there is almost no traffic the addition of a fence with a child proof gate to the car parking area would have given me a greater sense of safety for smaller children. There is a BBQ and fire pit area where one can BBQ and sit and eat and although we did not take up the offer, the site owners can provide Marshmallows for toasting. There is a shed with a lockable locker to enable one to charge phones, tablets and other small devices. There is log cabin lounge for communal use as a lounge with sofas and a large modern TV. There is a communal covered eating area with tables and chairs and bench seats. All units and communal areas have pretty fairy lights which provide lighting for the site and look amazing at night. Shepherds hut As there was only the two of us, we chose the shepherds hut to stay. This is a rectangular wooden structure with a curved roof and painted a pretty pale blue. It has a veranda at the front and lockable door [keys are provided]. The shepherds hut contains a double bed, a two-seater sofa [not large enough for a child to sleep on, unless very young], a small stove [which you will need to purchase firewood] a small table. There are only 4 coat hooks for hanging space, but there is a very large area of storage underneath the bed for suitcases etc. There is a top hung window with internal shutters to provide light and ventilation, but it does look out onto the outside eating area to both the shepherds hut itself and the unit next door, so you will need to close the shutters for privacy. At the back of the shepherd’s hut is a shed annex kitchen. Despite its temporary feel, it is perfectly clean and contains everything you are likely to need. There is a standpipe to provide water to this unit. [each unit has their own supply] Owners Debbie and John are lovely and were there to greet us on arrival and on departure and seem to be permanently but not intrusively available. Communication Communications with Debbie were great. We had an issue with the payment but, it was quickly and easily sorted out without fuss by email. Summary A small intimate, immaculately clean, well laid out site that feels friendly and safe. Owned and run by a friendly and available husband a wife team in a beautiful area of Cornwall.
