    Merrose Farm seems very well kept and beautiful. They made a nice place for the dogs too. Hope you enjoyed your stay there in the countryside. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

    Hi both, what a lovely site, looked a lovely sunny day. Good idea have the traffic lights on the lane. Thank you for showing us around x

      We enjoyed this site. A big site but very peaceful. Thanks Julie 😀 Trev

    Looks like a great campground. You have a really nice site. The dog park is huge. My cousin used to live in Truro. I've really enjoyed your tour through Cornwall, Trev and Sue.

      Thanks so much. This site was new to us and we were thrilled we were able to find quiet little places that we could be socially distanced and still enjoy the Cornish charm. 😃🚐 Trev

    Big site but looks nice enough. Like the grass pitches, not been on one for years. Cheers Martin

      We really enjoy grass in the summer. It’s nice to step out of the van on to with no matting or ground sheets. Winter camping is quite a different matter 🤣 Trev

    Another great site for exploring Cornwall, we stayed there July 2017 hard standing pitch above the toilet block, the field you stayed only had a couple of caravans on it, loved St Mawes, Porthscatho, King Harry’s Ferry.

      Certainly a beautiful area Geoff. We had a fabulous tour of the southwest and absolutely no disappointments 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

    What a beautiful place to stay! Everything looks so well-kept. They seem to have thought of everything for their campers. Enjoy your tour and I will be checking back in with you later!

      There are so many good sites that we couldn’t possibly do them all but we will do as many as we can. We have been staying longer on sites since lockdown as a way of remaining safe rather than moving to too many unknowns. I have no idea if this is the right strategy or not 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😃 thanks for watching 👍🏻🚐 Trev

    What a charming campground. It’s very smart of them to have installed stoplights so that folks don’t get caught up in a traffic jam. The spaces are large enough that you can enjoy your campsite without feeling close to your neighbors. That dog park is amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that large in all of our travels. I was glad to see the sun had come out for one of your weekend trips too! Thanks for sharing.

      They do look after the children and dogs. We were surprised how lovely this site is. The area is so beautiful 😃 Trev

    Looks like a great site. It's great there's a place to walk pups. Always nice to be fairly close to a town too. Just in case you need something.

      Thanks for watching. It was just far enough away to be peaceful but with in reach of shops by car. The little farm shop was walking distance but that only had a small selection of local and fresh items. 😄 Have a great weekend 👍🏻🚐 Trev

    The Caravan and motor home club have recently been calling there sites " Camping Sites" but don't usually see tents!.. love Merrose farm.👍

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes the CAMC are adopting a few new terms along with their new marketing blurb. I think they are trying to be modern and hip innit 😉🤣 Merrose Farm was a real highlight of the tour for us. It was 2020 and thank goodness we took the bull by the horns and went on the tour. Will definitely go back at some point. Thanks for your comments 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

    That was a beautiful camp, I love how dog friendly they are. Great tour, I'm really enjoying your Cornwall Adventure.

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you John, yes we do have a lot of campsites in the UK that have dog walk areas. It’s to keep dogs away from children’s play areas and also encourage owners to pick up after their dogs. In the main it works well and I am sure it’s good for business to show that the campsite is pet friendly 😄👍🏻 Thanks for watching. 🚐 Trev

    Good thing having lights as I bet it was hard work if a caravaner was coming the other way. Funny most parks out of the way have narrow lanes. Think they do it to test us.

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s always pot luck with traffic these days. So many more vehicles on the roads of all shapes and sizes but the lanes don’t get any bigger. All in a day’s motorhoming 😃 Trev

      It’s big but didn’t seem that way. Very quiet and well spaced pitches with lots of choice of trees, no trees, near the toilets or not, etc etc. 😃👍🏻 Trev

    HI Trev. Great site review. It is a big site but we found it surprisingly quiet. Great location and one we will go back to again.
    Thanks for sharing. Watch out for the next video as we take the walk down to Porthbean Beach just across the road at the top of the site. Thanks for sharing.

    We were there in September too, a couple of pitches down from you next to the dog field.
    Great site, location and surrounding area. The staff on site were a little less friendly particularly on arrival they seemed harassed... not great after a 6hr drive down.
    That said met some lovely campers and even managed to get a meal at The Hidden Hut.
    Great video, keep em coming...cheers 👍

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh great 👍🏻 we spoke to a few campers whilst at Merrose Farm. The wardens must have been fairly tired of all the new rules and explaining everything over and over again. I agree that the only thing I want after a long drive is a kind friendly welcome. We went down to the office to ask about something and they seemed quite helpful but as with most sites, sadly, communication and contact at the moment is minimal. Thanks so much for watching 😃 Trev

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a mix of grass and gravel so some of the grass will be closed in winter. We are on a site now where none of the grass pitches are open but all the gravel ones are available to use. We also know some entire campgrounds that close from October to April as it’s too wet. 😃🚐 Trev
