Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: NCLC 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for 4 nights in Aug. On arrival it is a very calm site, reception were very nice. On arriving at our pitch the road is a little tight between your neighbours opposite so we had to take the caravan off and push it in, but the pitchers were quite wide. We were opposite the new toilet/shower block which was very nice and modern. The views around the site were lovely, the statics had the sea view but this was due to the slope I think. The club house was fine, with kids entertainment followed by adults, bar prices a little more than average but nothing unusual. The take away food counter was fine. During the morning there were allocated time slots for adults only swim and aqua aerobics, we didn't go though. There was kids entertainment during the mornings. There was not a lot of noise after dark. The nearest beach can be walked to but down a very steep slope named locally as cardic hill, we managed it but those with buggies etc would not be able to do it. Once down at the beach there is a cafe/bar. We walked into Looe through the lane and took approx 25 mins but no good for families as a little unsafe with no pavement. Overall not a bad site.

Reviewer: Rushy 2 reviews from this member

 I booked this site because we could only get the first week of our two week holiday at our preferred site in north Cornwall, so we decided on a change of scenery in the south of the county.

We arrived very early in the morning (8am) and weren't supposed to be on our pitch until 11am but the staff were more than helpful and let us set our touring caravan & awning up straight away on an available pitch. I'd booked the medium size pitch and I was impressed with the ample space afforded, easily the most generous size pitches I'd been on for a long time (especially in Cornwall) and there was plenty of room for the 'van/awning and seating with room at the front of the pitch for the car.

The toilet block was modern, large and well lit with free showers, no annoying 20p coins to find as is the case in some sites. I visited these facilities at various times of the day/night and they were invariably clean and well stocked with the necessary requirements : toilet rolls/soap etc

The clubhouse/bar was also large and modern though the cabaret was more aimed at keeping the youngsters entertained. The bingo seemed popular and with a £500 prize it wasn't surprising. The food was a bit hit & miss, we ordered a burger meal to eat in and it was disappointing to say the least. The portions seem larger if bought as a takeaway. The bar prices were a wee bit pricey, £3. 20 for a pint of Tribute local bitter.

Overall, the site was well run and easy going, with children well catered for. It was within easy reach of Looe, either by car or by foot. The facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

Reviewer: Brommo 16 reviews from this member

 Went touring Cornwall on my motorbike with a two man tent & stopped at Looe.

This is the closest site to Looe so thought it would be ideal.

Its expensive - £21 a night for just me !

Having said that its is a very `corporate` site. Think of it as a Butlins or a Pontins and you get the gist. It would be superb to bring my daughter to.

Didn`t use the pool although it looked good. Popped into the large cabaret room and bar which was huge and they even had staff wearing yellow coats and people dressed up as animals ! Very much aimed at the kids market. Beer prices were expensive although they had a good selection.

The shop was fairly well stocked but was (you`ve guessed it!) very expensive.

The toilets and shower block was superb. Loads of room and the cubicles were plenty. Very very nice.

Within easy reach of Looe and good views although its exposed so can get very windy. A taxi costs less than a fiver to Looe which was good as this is really a family site and if you haven`t got kids with you its a bit manic !

In summary a very nice site but expensive, but there again if you have your kids in tow it would probably be reasonable value for money 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Ayers family 8 reviews from this member

 When we arrived there was a lot of unhappy faces around along with a lot of puddles and soggy pitchs. We were told to go and pick a pitch and the deciding factor was the one with the smallest puddle on it.

Some of our fellow campers said they had lots of rain every day for the previous 2 weeks but we arrived with the sun shining which is a bonus. The large pitches are not very large but big enough for our large twin axle caravan, big awning and car with room to spare.

As mentioned the pitchs are not very big and as the service road is not very wide it was difficult to get our caravan on and 2 very helpful chaps helped me push it on, thanks chaps.

The site it self is good, food/meals were a little dearer but the portions were okay, both swimming pools were popular and the shop had all the essentials although a little dear. The entertainment was okay for little kiddies or bingo lovers, the Bob Marley tribute was good fun. Not much entertainment for teenagers unless you want to keep paying for the arcade.

Lots of seasonal pitches which could do with some TLC. I enjoyed the walk to Talland bay and then along the coastal path to Looe. A great view over the sea and looking out towards Plymouth,

Toilets and showers were modern, clean and numerous. There was a bloke pressure washing the toilets floor. , overall and despite the rain which is inevitable in Cornwall we had a good time and would visit Tencreek again. 


Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Funkymunk33 1 review from this member

 Family of four,2 Adults & 2 Girls 11 & 14 Camping in a Tent. Arrived Friday at midday and checked in at reception the receptionist was on the phone to a friend at the time but in between snippets of what curtains she was buying we managed to establish (by means of head nods and exaggerated hand gestures) which pitch we were located. Arrived at pitch No 136 and was so pleased as pitch was large and flat, excellent drainage. If camping in a tent ask for the pitches at the back of the campsite as the sea views and size are perfect we had a 6 Berth Vango Nile with one extra side pod which fitted like a glove!

The toilets/shower rooms were spot on for size and warmth I believe the toilets were cleaned in the mornings and afternoons and we found that it was pretty normal for cleanliness for the amount of people using the facilities. The clubhouse caters for the lovers of cheap cabaret and over priced take away food. We did watch Man Utd get beat by Barca on the BIG SCREEN, which was a treat for me being a Liverpool Fan (Hee Hee) but if that is not your thing then you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of your own entertainment, we did not feel that it was an in your face campsite.

The surrounding area is one of the best around the walk to Looe or to Talland Bay is easy on the way down but one hell of a climb on the way back but the rewards are worth it if crabbing at Looe is your thing or chilling out at Talland Bay or having a snack or sneeky beer at the Quaint Smugglers Cove Cafe opposite the Bay.

All in all a nice chilled May Bank Holiday Break but my guess is that Summer would be a bit more congested.

Reviewer: RLcampers6 3 reviews from this member

 We visited this site because of a newspaper holiday deal. We were greeted warmly by reception. Our caravans were all clean and tidy. We were next to the children's playground, and though fairly small the kids liked it. The indoor pool was lovely and we visited it every day. Although when busy you do need to be watchful. There are also not many changing rooms, so many people walked back in a towel to change. The meals were nice and not too badly priced. The kids liked the entertainment, but wished for more dancing. Looe is gorgeous and the beach lovely. We would visit again.

 We were not on the site much and did not use the swimming pool, shop etc. But the shower block were spotlessly clean and very modern and refurbished.

The only negative point was that this site is exposed to the wind, so check the weather forecast if in a tent or awning in use.

The location is very good and the view out to see are rewarding.

We paid £11 for the night for the 2 of us and our small tent. Would come back again (if less windy).

 Had a great time at this site, mostly because the weather was wonderful all week. The caravan was adequate for our needs, lovely views over the sea to looe bay. Not many people on the site at this time of year,but that suited our needs. Polite and helpful assistants in reception and shop. Didn't go in the indoor pool but it looked very good. The touring site could do with tiding up around the caravans and some were rather dirty looking. Nice new block of toilets looked good. All in all I would go back. Would have been nice to have the club opened at weekend.

Reviewer: Renatekriegler 2 reviews from this member

 Must be a great place if you are camping with children, September was nice and quiet, so we had all the space and peace we could dream of.

Toilet facilities were spacious and good, with a few handy wet rooms including shower, toilet, basin (and baby changing platform) all in one room. Hairdryers are free! Good natural lighting and other lighting, nice mirrors everywhere. Not the absolutely cleanest ever, but nothing so bad that I wanted turn away.

Handy washing up rooms too with nice hot water.

Just the water pressure everywhere is so high you get soaking wet for washing your hands if you're not careful. I think they could address this one easily - and save water at the same time.

The shop is handy. We were disappointed to find it stocking no good-quality local produce, like fresh butter, clotted cream, wholegrain bread, vegetables from neighbouring farms. But maybe these are just not in demand.

Food at the Diner was totally totally awful, I am sorry to say. Overpriced to start with, and beyond disappointing. I skipped the hamburgers (because they are normally a risk) and asked for a hot dog in stead. Had they used a normal old vienna hot dog from a jar I would have been ok, but in stead it was some awful breakfast-like sausage cooked from frozen served on a roll - just that, no ketchup, no mustard. And the roll was sliced right through, so the sausage wouldn't even stay on. LOL

Nice walks from the campsite. You could walk all the way to pretty Looe in half an hour. There also are a few really gorgeous Coastal Paths around.

The park is dog friendly and provides ample exercising space.

 Great campsite with fantastic facilities. The toilets and shower block were fairly new and no queuing as there were plenty of them. Also spacious cubicles and well stocked.

Staff were very helpful - we weren't too keen on the pitch we had originally been allocated but they were more than happy for us to move.

Nice level site, we have a sea view from our pitch and down on the bottom tiers where we were, it's fairly private as you only have neighbours either side and not in front and behind.

Enjoyed visiting Looe, plenty of boat trips to go on and some beautiful fresh fish.

All in all a lovely location and a really friendly well kept site.
