Cornwall Holiday Park Reviews
AA Inspection Report 2010 – 5-Star grading received
'I received a lovely greeting from Charlotte in the reception of this beautiful garden like touring park, with its wealth of colourful flowers and shrubs and its extensive rural and sea views. This 5 Pennant park displays attention to detail in all areas and is superbly presented throughout, from the impressively square cut hedges to the weed free, rolled gravel hardstandings. Customer service is obviously very important and all the staff I spoke to were cheerful and helpful. The toilet facilities are all well designed and spotlessly clean and the grass areas a pleasure to look at and walk upon. New for this year is the camper's kitchen, which provides a free to use microwave and freezer in a lovely, light and spacious, wallboarded room, complete with dishwashing and food preparation sinks. This park offers much in the way of sports activities too, from archery to badminton, tennis to clay pigeon shooting. The Courtyard bar with its home cooked food or the Lodge Takeaway, provide plenty of choice on the eating front. I spoke with Graeme Colwill, the experienced and enthusiastic owner of this busy park and we discussed the addition of four WHBs that are to be added to four of the larger WCs in the ladies toilets, to create further cubicled units. I also suggested a small drop down baby seat be added to the otherwise excellent family rooms and a hand sanitizer spray at hte CDP without a sink. This was a very enjoyable visit to a top quality park and I am very pleased to confrim an AA 5 Pennant rating, with the well deserved, very high quality score of 90%.'
