Having read the first reviews above I was unsure whether to book for the bank holiday but I can not praise the owners highly enough. I had to drop my van off on thursday and go back and pick up the dive boat and the owners could not be more helpful. From dawn til midnight they are cleaning muddy toilet blocks ,taking the children for tractor rides or putting entertainment on in the barn. I think that we prefer to moan rather than give praise where it is deserved. I will be going back.

Beautiful family orientated site, set in lovely countryside, very relaxed atmosphere, clean facilities, free dish washing, showers etc. Level sites for those whose want, serviced pitches if wanted, also relaxed grassy areas for those who prefer. Tractor rides for youngsters, entertainment in the barn for everyone, put on by owners Alan and Vanessa who really understand families (they have their own). There is a small shop for necessities, and help at any time. Fun for all, and also so relaxing too. Parents.. no worries. A private path through countryside approx. 20 mins walk to the beach. Or a few mins by car to a car park right on the beach. Shop, and life guards on the beach. Only 20mins approx. by car to Falmouth where lots to do in all weathers. And of course the cliff path walk. What more could anyone want. We have come here for 35 years, and our children now bring their kids. 7 of them and we have a wonderful family reunion (4 from Luxembourg) they would be devastated if we stopped coming to Meanporth, and Pennance Mill Farm.

Lovely family friendly site. Been going for 35 years, at least once a year, occasionally more. Always in school hols, with our kids, now with our kids and grand kids. The site is clean well equipped with free warm shower blocks, and washing up sinks. Also laundry room. "only pay for the washing machine". There is really good entertainment each evening put on by the owners, Alan and Vanessa Jewell, for the children and also for families. The tractor rides each morning for the younger children are magical. and after all that, the site is set in beautiful cornish scenery, with fields rolling all around. There is a private path to walk to Maenporth beach, keeping safely away from the road, built by Alan Jewell himself. Nothing is ever too much. And on top of all that, Falmouth itself with all those attractions is only 10 / 15 mins away by car. Or a beautiful cliff path walk, with fantastic views maybe 3/4hr or so depending on your fitness. No one should miss this gem.

I have taken my grand children to this site for the last 5 years. After two years my daughter and her partner also joined us. They refuse to go anywhere else. It's a great family site and not commercialised in any way. The Jewells are great and work very hard to make sure everything is fine and, as for the entertainment, it's brilliant. Three beaches nearby, and Falmouth, as well as easy access to Cornwall's attractions, make it a perfect holiday for us. Can't wait to go again this year.

We've always found Pennance Mill Farm Campsite just outside Falmouth to be a brill, well run well cared for clean and safe site for families.

Showers are good, free hot water. Free good washing up areas. Laundry with dryer, iron etc, freezer. Electric security gates which are locked at night. Little farm shop for essentials.

Bus stops outside entrance, for Falmouth, (passing modern swimming baths with waves) and big Asda etc 10 mins away by car so handy.

This site is ideal for good old fashioned family fun -

Not to be recommended though if its commercialised holidays with on site bars, music, disco & noisy nights you want - because here the 'no noise after 11pm' rule really works!

Owners Alan and Vanessa Jewell live on site and the fact so many families return year after year says it all.

A children's play area in front of the farmhouse is great place to make new pals & re-unite with old ones for another great holiday...

Farmer Alan is like the pied piper, big kids & little kids love him, his big smile & great sense of fun. And his free tractor rides!

He provides free entertainment every night in the barn (trust me it's not to be missed!!) nobody is pressured to join in but somehow you just do... lol. Every night's a different theme.

Also you can stay in one of their well equipped chalets - as we did for our second holiday there last year at the end of the summer ... so serene & peaceful ... Vanessa had the beds made & everything was just brill... thanks our chalet had everything we could possibly have wanted and more!! Incidentally, we used the oven most nights & the coin meter hardly registered so it certainly is no rip off!!

Looking forward to another 2 weeks holiday before so long..
