Hi, I have been reading some of the reviews on the Trevornick site  in Cornwall and the 20p issue keeps cropping up for the showers!

We are off for 10 days in August so will we need to take a stash of 20p's with us??!!!

Yup 20p for a shower. Loadsa time to do what you need to, and it helps keep the q's down too.

Edit............it seems to have changed since I was there last in 2007.....

New Showers for 2008:    As part of our continuing programme of improvements, this week sees the installation of new showers.  The showers, which will be free of charge, are on an infra-red system and they will operate on a minute cycle.   We all have a role to play in conserving water therefore, it is vital that Trevornick plays its part in trying to help the environment.   We are always  looking at ways we can become greener as well as more sustainable. We hope to attain the 'Gold' Green Tourism Business Scheme Award later this year.   We already hold the 'Gold' David Bellamy Conservation Park Award.

Weve used simular showers at Unity Farm and I don't know anyone apart from my kids who could have a 1 min shower (allergic to being clean i think), but we found them great just like showers at the swimming pool really, you just keep waving your hand in front of the infa red.

At least you won't be head full of suds and have to go looking for a 20p

It also says "we are a no pet park" which puts me off straight away. Even if we didn't have a dog it makes them seem stuffy.

With the 1 minute showers how long do you have to wait for your next minutes worth????

The showers are apparently infra-red so surely the 1mn is "one run" as if using a push button shower... They just can't give you just 1mn showers, how would they know it's a new person in there.??

But I figure it might get annoying having to step out/in of the shower every 60s to get it going again..

That is totally wrong, Trevornick is extremely dog friendly, with two whole fields to exercise your dogs, and two of the camping fields dedicated to dog owners, which I think is fair enough, although we're dog lovers we appreciate that not everyone is.

Re the showers, you don't have to actually shower in one minute, you just push the button again.  Means you're not wasting water while you shampoo your hair etc.  Seems sensible enough to me.
