Just had a glorious visit to Poole Farm and can't speak highly enough of the owners, and the site Top quality, spotless facilities with extras, and the friendliest welcome from Greg, Louise and Harvey (who brought us ice creams!). Our short stay included a complimentaryh home baked cream tea, and as it was the Jubilee celebrations, we were treated to a lovely, and unexpected, bottle of bubbly! We sadly missed the barbecue Greg and Louise were running for the site guests as we had to leave. lovely site, lovely people - we shall return! Thanks, Maureen and Roger.

Long waited for return

Poole Farm
Just returned from our second visit to Poole Farm CL - first visit we happened upon site by chance but this visit has been looked for a long time and looked forward to for a longggggg time! Our stay was everything we could have wished for and more - we had sampled Louise’s breakfasts on our previous visit but were delighted to find out that she is now providing evening meals as well - all beautifully cooked and delivered piping hot to our caravan - the bliss of arriving Sunday afternoon, Greg helping us to set up (my husband has mobility issues), cup of tea brought by Louise, then Harvey delivering ice creams and capped off by delicious Sunday roast - perfection. Site is quiet, well maintained, excellent facilities - toilet, shower, washing up area, laundry facilities, information room and, canine visitors well catered for too. We visited a large number of National Trust properties that are within easy driving distance of the site and also relaxed and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the site. One word of caution though - once you have visited you will want to return.

Everything a CL should be and more !!

Poole Farm
Absolutely fabulous CL, quiet and relaxing location in beautifully maintained grounds. Large, fully serviced pitches and a small meadow dog walking field with a swing seat. The 2 toilets and 1 shower were spotless and had a variety of free toiletries if needed, along with a dog shower and hair dryer. Another cabin housed a washing machine and tumble dryer along with a fridge for fresh milk and eggs and a freezer containing yummy homemade meals. Lou and Greg were the perfect Hosts, very friendly and helpful and the complimentary cream teas, homemade cakes and ice creams whilst sitting out in the sun made the whole visit exceptional. Homemade meals, breakfasts and Sunday lunches could also be delivered to your van if you didn’t feel like cooking. Would recommend to anyone 100%

Outstanding

Poole Farm
Fantastic CL site with friendly owners who surprise you with their attention to detail. We had 2 evening meals which were so generous we kept some leftovers for the following day. They were not expensive and we would definitely recommend trying them. The site is well organised and caravans spaced well apart. The facilities are unusual for a small CL sitewith free Wifi, washing machine, tumble dryer etc (for a small fee), shower room, homemade chutneys and jams available,free cream tea. It just goes on and on! Not surprising how busy Greg and Louise are keeping everyone so well looked after.They deserve their award. We found Crackington Haven a lovely spot to visit.
