going to cornwall next year i have shortlisted it to 3 sites, so now i need your help with which one we should book for 3 weeks in summer 2006.

 polmanter

 trevella

 perran springs

 all look and sound really nice but have never been to cornwall so need you experts to give us some guidance.

We live in mid Cornwall, and stay at Polmanter at least 3/4 times a year.  Love the place, best site we stay on . However, we only visit outside the manic weeks - end July to end August. 

Have driven around Perran Spings - wouldn't bother.

Don't know Trevalla

looked at trevella this year i thought it was very slopy, but a very nice site very clean toilets and  showers even better if your into fishing.

Don't know any of the ones on your list, but have you considered Trevornick

The reviews speak for themselves.  We went last year and have already booked for next year, it really is a lovely site, fantastic facilities, lovely staff, close to a lovely beach and well placed for Cornwall's major attractions.

Have a look (if you haven't already!)

Haven't stayed at any of those but have stayed at Little Trevarrack,  The family that own this site also own polmanter, brothers or something can't remember what they said now, any way love little Trevarrack, going back next year.  Polmanter has a lot more on site, depends what you like to have on your site. I personally don't need  pools when staying near the beach  or  entertainment.

We have stayed on Perran Springs, and your phrase "wouldn’t bother" is unnecessary.
Perran Springs is a great site.

However I suppose if you like sites that are big, full of clubs, and cramped I wouldn’t bother either, as Perran Springs has none of these.

What Perran Springs does have, is great countryside views an excellent shower room, shop, laundry, hot water throughout the site and great fishing lakes.

Just look at the reviews on this site, they speak for themselves, and also visit Perran Springs  website.

Out of all the sites we stay on, it is one of the friendliest.

I have been past Polmanter, this also looks like a nice site.
Been on Trevornick, it is right next to Holywell Bay Leisure Park, again a nice site, but we prefer the quiet sites

(mis read trevella for trevornick - never been to this one, sorry)

thanks michelle we are really torn between these 2 sites and i just can't make the final decision.

Phew! What a relief, my fave site wasn't shortlisted....lol Me not tellin'! At least not till we've managed to book OUR pitch-lol

But anywhere in Cornwall's gr8 with us! Love the place to bits. ALL of it.

Btw, what weeks are you looking to go? Only asking so that I can make sure we try not to book same times so that you'll still stand some chance of relatively decent weather which you won't have if we're there And still we go back!

My name's hippy chick and I am a ukcs addict......

hi hippy chick we will be going end of july for 3 weeks. go on tell me your fav site i won't tell anyone promise.

Nah......not till we've booked lol But will say, it's in South Cornwall so don't think it's anywhere near where you're after.

Already seen w-a-y tooooo many daft idiots praising it up, big time on here......terrified we won't get a pitch......panic setting in already.......

And what's that I hear regular users say, was one of those bigging it up?????No-o-o-o surely not? Must have been one of my 'senior moments' lol

i have stayed at trevella a few times and loved it . a bit of a continental feel i thought . my son at the time loved the fishing . no evening entertainmrnt, small swimming pool , very well run site. close to crantock beach. and if you like walking at low tide you can walk across the field down the gannel to the beach at crantock. (this is quite a walk). not far outside newquay, and other beaches in the area.

i havent been to the others.

thanks have just tried to book polmanter for 3 weeks next year only to be told they have no pitches as they have all been pre booked but to ring back later in the year as people had till end of october to decide if they definately want their pitch. i couldn't believe they had no pitches a year in advance.
