Hiya Wendy Just wanted to say, we had a great time whilst we were there. we had a couple of nice sunny days and got lots of walking in....Back home now and just thought we'd say thanks! cheers Lindsay and Martin

Hi
Having just returned from the camping holiday from hell at a over commercial campsite on the xxxxxxx, we stumbled across your site whilst out walking.
We loved the look of the site when we had a look and are interested in coming next summer. Jo

We had a great holiday and It was great meeting you and your family. Thank you .Kind regards,Alex

On behalf of all of us we would like to say thank you very much for an enjoyable two weeks at Penrose [and for the DVD Harry has watched it twice already], we had a great time, and would have easily stayed longer if the time was available. We will be coming back Easter to stay in Porthleven for a week, so may be we'll see you then.Kind regardsJenny, Stephen and Connie [plus others]

Thank you so much for the ten days that we spent camping with you at Penrose. As you will see below the children had a lovely time, as did we! And we are now adjusting to meals that don't always include potatoes!We hope to visit you again in the future. Graham and Ali Thank you for taking us around the farm and watching the vehicles.Lots of love Jamie To Martin,Lisa,Wendy and Jakey Thank you for letting us camp at the BEST campsite ever! It was SUPER fun doing the rounds with you! Thank you to Martin for taking us on a tour of your farm we were such a lucky family! Also thank you to Wendy for helping me wash the dishes. And Jakey who has made it a whole lot more fun.And Lisa who let me hold Lily and kept her under controll! Thanks for the best camping holiday EVER! Hope we see you again. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT!From Lucy

Thank you for setting up your great little campsite I had three happy nights there last Thu/Fri/Sat and it's so handy being close to the village where my relatives live. The man who took my money was so friendly and welcoming - a big change from some campsites I've been to. It's a pity you're only open July and August so hopefully you'll give some thought to opening a longer season.Kind regards
Stephen

Hi both We have just returned from spending a week at your site, and I wanted to drop you a line to say what a fantastic time we all had. We thought that your site was perfect and that you and yours were extremely friendly. I shall certainly be recommending your site to people. kind regards Trish

Hey what a great time we had, I have now got the “Bug” and brought a s/hand trailer tent and we are going to be with you at start of the new season.We hope the weather has not been too disastrous for you, the free spuds were absolutely fine, lets hope the rest of your crops are as splendid.Kind regardsSteve, Debbie, Lynne and me.

Just to let you know we had a lovely time staying with yourselves this week (despite the horrible storms last night and the night before!). Please pass mine and Jessica's thanks onto Lisa for being a nice host. Hopefully we'll be back in the future! Martin

We had a wonderful time staying on your site! We have been talking and would love to come again next year!!
The toilet and shower facilities were 'spot on'! So clean and all that hot water! Brilliant!!
We had such a good time, the site was perfect, so glad the weather held out for the whole 2 weeks!
The walks and cycle routes were great. We went on a bike ride all the way round the lake, it was brilliant and quite a few times we had a walk to the Atlantic Inn! We have fallen in love with Porthleven, we have even made friends with a couple of the locals!!Thank you again for making us feel welcome!
Take care and we hope to see you again next August! With Kind Regards Mandy and Jamie x

Hello to you all, Just writing to say 'what a fantastic campsite!' We had a great time and it was lovely to be somewhere so quiet, beautiful and freindly. The showers were lovely and hot and everything was so clean. It was great to meet you and to recieve such a relaxed and kind welcoming. We have already told ALL our freinds about your special place and we hope to be back soon.Thank you again. Mike, Claire, Sam and Harry Lea.

Dear Wendy and Martin
We were sorry not to see you to say goodbye before we left on Saturday. We had a great holiday and loved the site and surroundings at Penrose.
Thank you for sharing your land with us – we walked down to the view point a couple of times and are very envious of your working environment! Thank you too, Martin, for taking good care of the ‘facilities’ and for setting up the cold drinking water tap.
We do wish you well with the site; I’m sure you’ll work hard to preserve that wonderful atmosphere of space and informality which is so appealing.
Until the next time, very good wishes to you all, Jacqui and Tracy

Hello Martin and Wendy,
Just a short mail to say hello. We're back at home and everyday life starts again.
We enjoyed our stay on the Penrose Camp Site very much, so I don't think you have seen the last off us yet.
The website brings back the good memories, especially the second image on the page 'facilities' (nice tent there in the background!).
Hope to visit you again. For now; all the best and greetings from
Tim and Betty (your first paying customers)

Hi there
Had a lovely time in Cornwall and we both really enjoyed staying in your field. Peaceful and quiet and the facilities although you described them as basic they were very good - going back to basics is what camping is all about. Will definitely be back and will reccommend you highly.Thanks again Sheila

Stayed at our camp site over the bank holiday weekend and had a great time. Also took some of pototoes back to London, we make super roast pototoes. So thank you very much. Alistair

It was a most relaxing holiday - the camp site is so quiet, with panaramic views of the countryside. When you go to bed at night all you hear is the sound of the sea in the background.
