This park exceeded our expectations. 
The park entrance as  is all  park has been well kept and gives a positive outlook as you enter.
The reception staff are very polite and explained all that was needed to know, as well as explaining what to do  should we have a problem.
The dining room and bar, although we didn't use it, looked very clean and tidy. 
The changing room was clean, and the swimming pool was kept to a high standard, by the lifeguard, who obviously enjoyed his job. The gym was well stocked with lots of equipment
Our lodge was very clean throughout and well stocked with the utensils required. The only thing that we could find fault with was the lack of any mirrors near a plug socket (women need one for when drying hair, etc). The only mirrors were in the bathrooms.
If you are into fishing their are 3 lakes on offer, for which you have to pay and licence to use.
Overall a great place for a break.

Short break

Stayed for a week's break with the family.  The Bungalow very spacious which was a lovely surprise -although a little dated in places especially the bedroom furniture.  Comfy bed with a high standard of bed linen.  Accommodation was very clean but the lounge area had a terrible spicy food smell which lasted for days - even buying Febreze and airing the lounge failed to eradicate the smell.  Tash the Manager was super helpful when we had issues with the WiFi failing to connect.  Another Receptionist was very helpful too.
The park setting is lovely and the accommodation is far enough apart not to be disturbed by any other residents.  An excellent location for exploring both the North and South Cornwall coasts.  
Great, well-equipped gym which we made use of.  Tennis courts were very slippery and need a pressure wash! 
Now the negative elements:   
Do not dare to go to the gym before having a swim without making reception aware you are there to swim.  You will incur the wrath of the grumpy Admin Manager who told me 'you haven't booked' despite being there on her sheet.  Her attitude was frankly appalling as she proceeded to shout at me in the corridor - a complete contrast to Tash who couldn't have been more helpful earlier in the holiday. Goodness knows where she did her Customer Service training.   
Steam room wasn't working.
Bar prices are very steep and the 'Chef's Special' menu on offer in the restaurant...let's just say that we didn't bother.  The barman looked completely disinterested.  Shame because it's a nice bar and restaurant which could be made more of - lower the prices and improve the staffing to increase the footfall.   
The spacious nature of the accommodation have bumped my review to a 4* but if it were possible I'd give the park a 3.5* overall.  


Great in places - improvement needed in others! 

We stayed in bungalow 42. It was big and I mean big.  The park itself was beautiful. I highly recommend to come here. So I’m going to be picky. As I said, the bungalow was big. But the little things got a bit annoying. Cooker hood lights did not work. The Spa bath did not work and the lights on the bathroom mirror did not work, plus the silver on the mirror was peeling away.  The loo seat was two small for the bowel. Holes in the leather settee. But as I said I’m just picking. On the whole a lovely place to stay and I will be coming back.

Bungalow 42

This was our second time to stay here this year! The accommodation was spotless.So comfortable.We had 2 days rain,but no problem,we had everything we needed.Fully equipped ,central heating  washing machine,dish washer,besides the normal microwave etc.Two bathrooms,2 bedrooms,Twin bedroom is  downstairs,with a shower and toilet,for easy access.Lovely lakes to walk around.Very relaxing place,for a great holiday.We will be back,hopefully!

Great Place

The lodges are spacious with lots of storage and the beds were comfortable.   The kitchen had all utentsils/crockery etc, and it had a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. 

However, the lodge we stayed was really crying out for some well-earned maintenance.  For instance, there was a nasty smell by, or under, the fridge (presumably something had been spilled by a previous occupier?), no light over the cooker and the fan really needed a good clean.  The upstairs toilet did not flush properly.  The walk-in shower upstairs had jet sprays (?) and there were no instructions to just take a normal shower and when turning knobs, they fell off making it very difficult to turn off again and select the normal shower type! Downstairs, the shower riser was broken so was not able to use the downstairs shower and also the shower screen was hard to open and close and the basin was loose in its mounting downstairs so it wobbled. I could not detect the fans working in either bathrooms although they were there and turned on.

We would go there again if we were hard pushed to find something that way, but if any maintenance or cleaning issue arise on arrival, then we would insist they be dealt with during the first couple of days so we could make full use of the facilities within the lodge itself. 

Good, but needs attention to detail to be Very Good

We stumbled on this place a few months ago when looking to book somewhere In Cornwall.
We were not disappointed. 
We stayed in what’s called a villa a quirky 2 storey lodge.
We were surprised how big it was, clean tidy, looked like it had had a refurb, even had a dishwasher and washing machine in it.
Comfortable and charming.
All set in lovely grounds, nice and quiet.

Lots to do on the park.
A few fishing lakes, which always seemed to be busy, foot golf, escape rooms, tennis, segways.
A swimming pool and a really good gym, with some great equipment.
A restaurant and bar.

Although there’s not a lot of things close around, it is central, so  a 20 minute drive and your at north or south coast. 

All the staff were helpful and friendly.

We’ve already booked for next year so see you then.

Great place in the middle of Cornwall.

We booked with a few days notice and value for money it was very good given the size of the accomodation. 

We stayed in a triangle shaped lodge which are surprisingly roomy. Down stairs had a big open plan lounge/diner - equipped with dishwasher/washing machine and even a vacuum! All was very clean. There was a twin room also on the ground floor with a huge ensuite containing twin basins toilet, bath with overhead shower again very clean but very dated.

Up stairs (the stairs do creak!) The main bedroom has a double bed, storage and a balcony which couldn't be accessed ( I think it's more for show) but sadly meant that the balcony door only opened a few inches to allow a breeze in.
The upstairs bath room was ridiculously big, a massive shower that had various functions and was great, a huge jacuzzi bath again amazing, twin sinks and storage. The only thing again letting it down was the decor but it was super clean.

We didn't use the facilities on the park but the children's play area looked well kept and there were some outdoor tables overlooking the pond which was a nice touch.

We did need to call maintenance out of hours, within 5 minutes the chap arrived and the matter was sorted - can't ask for better service than that.

The park has a one way system by lodges however the poor signage towards the top end meant most cars ignored it. There were plenty of bins dotted around the site.
 
With some fresh paint and tiles these lodges would command a much higher price, just please maybe ask your reception chaps to at least smile and engage with customers more, upon leaving the chap we saw didn't even speak !

Good value for money, clean but decor needs updating 

Me and my family had a lovely time away for the week and Tash, Kat and Donna made it extra special for me and my partner as they helped me set up and marriage proposal for my now fiancé, I can’t thank them enough and we have stayed here the last three years and can’t fault them enough!! Thank you so very much from all of us.

Simply a Special Stay!!

Plus points-
Nice large 3 bed 3 bathroom bungalow, could do with a little updating but on the whole was pleased with it. Site lovely and clean and tidy. However there was lots of rubbish in the grounds around the foot golf area. Very quiet and peaceful. 
Negative points- 
Nothing on-site was available to use with exception of the bar area after 5pm. NO restaurant which is what you really need when you book a holiday like this especially if you have had a busy day and you just want to relax with a meal and drink.
Swimming pool was smart and clean but you could only use in 45 minutes slots as the lifeguard will get mesmerised but the water otherwise !!! NEVER have I heard so much rubbish. These slots had to be pre booked even though there was only a few others in the pool on all the occasions we used it.

Lovely but needs the amenities to be available to use !!

Please note that the trip advisor page is wrong regarding free super fast wifi. 
You have to pay! Was free last year but this year you pay daily or for the week.
The lodge is very dated and in need of repair. Very tatty.
Seems to have staff shortages as restaurant is not open.  Probably the worst hoseasons in the estate.
