    Everything was fabulous! Mel and Tom were the best hosts, quick to respond, and always happy to help. Everything was handmade, which was a lovely touch and gave it a really homely feel. The decor was sweet with lovely lights lighting things up...

    The glamping pods are fantastic together with all the facilities , so close to Newquay and surrounding areas and I would highly recommend. The kids loved it and so did our dog and we will definitely use again in the future

    The communication was excellent. Tom and Mel answered all my questions honestly and felt like they really cared about my queries. I didn’t actually stay but organised a stay over for my son and his girlfriend. They loved the place, the location...

Relax and unwind, under the stars in a Lakeside Star Bell Tent sleeping 4 people. The setting is a stunning small off grid eco campsite proudly recognized with a Silver Green Tourism Award with pitches overlooking it’s beautiful 2 acre lake. Wild, natural and peaceful, it’s the ideal place to get away from it all whilst being within easy reach of some of the most popular holiday destinations on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. The site facilities include composting toilets and off grid, hot showers. The following is included in your bell tent: Real king sized bed with a real mattress. 2 floor based airbeds (if needed) All bedding Low level table Gas stove (to be used outside) and kettle 4 Mugs Tea, Coffee & Milk for your arrival Cool box and ice blocks (we can re-freeze them for you) Mirror One re-chargeable lantern Bunting Door mat and rug Fire pit, some logs are provided (extra logs available to purchase on site) Please note, you will need to bring your own towels. If you would like to use the gas stove to cook (outside the tent), you will need to bring pots and pans, plates, cutlery etc. NO kitchen equipment is provided.. We allow up to 2 well behaved dogs per tent, but request that they are not allowed to sleep or lie on the beds. This is an off grid site and there is no electricity to your bell tent. At reception we offer a charging service to charge your devices. Please get in touch to arrange to meet to get your devices on charge. If you would like something plugged in overnight, Mel is happy to meet you up until 8.30pm. The compost toilets and showers are a one and a half minute walk from your bell tent. Biodegradable body wash is provided to use in the showers. Please feel free to enjoy a stroll around the lake. Fishing the lake is an extra cost and you do need a rod license and your own fishing gear. We look forward to welcoming you.

Just 9 miles from Mawgan Porth, 10 miles from Padstow, 11 miles from Newquay and 15 miles from Mevagissey it’s the perfect place to get away from it all, while still being within easy reach of some of the most popular holiday destinations and beaches on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. When the sun is shining, a trip to the beach is a must. Just a 15 minute drive away you will find the sandy shoreline of Mawgan Porth Beach, with the popular spots of Newquay and Porth Beach within a 20 minute drive too. Padstow (20 minutes) is the perfect day out for foodies. Home to delicious seafood restaurants and pastry shops you will return to the site with a happy stomach!

Within easy reach of several of Cornwall’s biggest visitor draws, including the Eden Project, Bodmin Jail Attraction, Pencarrow House and Garden, Camel Creek Adventure Park, Lapps Valley, Newquay Zoo and The Lost Gardens of Heligan (all less than half an hour’s drive).
