Very nice place plenty of space and things to do around the area for large families This is the second time I've stayed here some upgrades been done since the last time we went. The hot water in the kitchen doesn't work not very hot use the kettle as no dish washer. Sun shades on the top windows in the lounge would be nice as we did have nice weather we will be back again 😀

We have just spent a lovely week at Lilypad, 6 adults and 2 children, plenty of room for us all. The house has everything you need, apart from a dishwasher. It is in a lovely location to travel to Padstow and all the lovely bays in the area. The weather was very good to us and we enjoyed ourselves by visiting lots of places St Merryn village is not far from the holiday park, and has a petrol station, a well stocked grocery store and other shops too We had takeaway fish and chips and Chinese and had a lovely meal in the Farmers Arms in the village.
