Great olace to stay. Fully equipped. Good location Have stayed at Penstowe years ago with my children who are now adults and hence brought my 2 grandsons. Shame the mansion leisure centre is closed
A lovely place to stay. It was super clean and although pet friendly you can’t tell pets have been there as it is cleaned so well. It’s in a shady area of the park which means it stays cool in this summer heat. It has everything you need for wonderful stay. We’ll be back next year !!
An immaculately clean and well equipped chalet, we found this chalet had everything you could need, all the cooking utensils you could require, a lovely cosy little chalet about a 30 seconds walk from the lower car park
A lovely lodge and well presented, ideal for our family stay. The lodge had everything we needed for our holiday and a nice homely feel. Will definitely be booking again.
This chalet is a real home from home, with every amenity we could possibly need. And Annette is a lovely, accommodating host. We really can't wait to come back!

Highly recommend this property, the host was very accommodating when we had a special request, the communication was speedy and helpful. Everything in and about the accommodation was perfect for our holiday.
Great place to stay. everything you need for a short or longer stay. Clean and tidy with everything you need in the kitchen and cleaning products. Wifi was a bit hit and miss but not an issue as we were not there for too long to need it for anything special. As stated the pay as you go electric did go pretty fast but mainly when using the shower.
We have just spent 5 nights in Penstowe and really enjoyed it. The chalet is great with a modern kitchen and bathroom and was spotless. It was a really great base for exploring Cornwall.
The chalet is in a perfect location both for coastal path walks but also on the site itself as its set back from the road. it is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. we hadnt stayed anywhere with an electric meter before but followed advice to come armed with coins to feed the meter but we found it very economical. we loved our stay so much that we're already in the process of booking for next year. Annette was very helpful throughout the process so we felt looked after from the outset. Trish
Property was very clean, well presented and in excellent condition. Was used as a base for the Wyldes festival but would also be perfect for day trips around Cornwall.
This was a nice little getaway spot set in a peaceful location. The property had all you need and was within close proximity to Bude and was a good base to explore the area.
Annette was so lovely, great communication before arrival and ongoing if needed. The pictures don’t do the chalet justice in my opinion, it’s beautiful. We have stayed on the site a couple of times now and it’s perfect for us as we go off out everyday with the kids, it’s a shame the site doesn’t have a park or a little more for the kids but that’s no problem for us but if you like to stay on site you may find it more difficult. Lovely quiet location, it is set on a little hill, this would be a little challenge for someone with mobility issues. We loved it and there’s a strong chance we will book again for our Bude holiday next year. Thanks again Annette
Lovely chalet in a quiet and peacefull area, loved the location . The chalet was perfect and had an amazing shower. Would love to come again. Very clean and everything you need to make your time away stress free. Easy access to dog friendly beaches too.
Stayed with our teenager and small dog, easy check in and property was super clean. Everything included that we could need. It’s quite hilly and the paths were a little slippy in the wet (so take care). Car park is very close to the property. A great base for exploring North Cornwall/Devon, excellent value and we would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at this location. The place is well equipped with a nice kitchen and 2 bed rooms. Just be mindful there are no facilities in the park and be prepared that you need coins for the electricity. The owner is very helpful and communicative before we arrived.
Accommodation was lovely modern and clean, quiet and peaceful. ideally located for where we needed to be visiting family in Stibb, although for others everything is really a car journey to shop etc and pub only serving food from food van on evenings which didn’t bother us but maybe people with younger children not much to do for them. As a family with older children this suited us and we would return.
Lovely clean and fresh property, well equipped and the packet of shortbread on arrival was a kind and welcoming touch. Set on a great site. Well located to get out and about and extremely dog friendly. Had a great time. Thank you.
Small beach style chalet that we used for a week. Clean and in a good state of upkeep it is in a good location to explore both North Cornwall and North Devon.
Very good communication with the host and a smooth check in and out process.
The chalet comes with passes for the swimming pool / leisure centre on site (should it not be beach weather) plus there is a bar you can utilise with regular entertainment.
Overall a great stay and would recommend.
