Well I think I’ve narrowed it down to the 2 I stated. I would just like to know views on those who have been regarding proximity to beach, town etc. We do use the facilities and we prefer premium pitches. Thankyou
Hi, If you have narrowed it to those two I would say that it really depends on your expectations.
Would say straight off that both sites are very popular with the school holiday period often fully booked, and that's in 'normal' times so you do need to get a booking made ASAP if you are set on going and even more so if that will be in the traditional holiday periods
We have stayed at both over the years and at Polmanter for two weeks, three years running, to be with our daughter and family and if facilities are what you need that's the one. Its a superbly kept site with a number of very clean toilet blocks,pool, bar/restaurant etc but the entertainment, centered on the children, may not be of interest to you.
There are distant sea views from from Polmanter, and walking into town is not only possible but enjoyable on well publicised road/path.
But if being able to walk into town regularly, wont go into what is local!, then Ayr Field,with its fantastic views over Porthmeor Beach, is the one.
Not sure about the reference to a single way in as that can only be the driveway, there is certainly no sea mist 'every morning' and yes, it is a long way from Cumbria!
In fairness I have to mention that, as we all know the weather can be variable and we have had one August stay of 14 days, we actually cut is short by a day, where we had rain on every day, sometimes just a short shower but still it was every day.
That was the final straw and, much as our daughter loved to be back home in Cornwall, the following year we had two weeks of unbroken sun in France.
One factor that can be more of an issue than people may imagine is parking in St Ives and while the bus from the site is a bonus it can be very busy and last summer, with social distancing, proved to be of little use unless you were prepared to spend a long time waiting at both ends of the journey.
There are ways to avoid this, and for us, as a group of 8 in total, a mini bus taxi was cheaper than the bus, but Ayr Field would remove the issue totally.
St Ives is our favourite place in Cornwall and attracts lots of visitors so, as I mentioned, your expectations will need considering, especially as walking through the town during the day it is near impossible to socially distance.
Whichever you choose hope that you have a great holiday.
