Owner Description

This caravan is a well equipped luxury 2 bedroom mobile home with extra sleeping accommodation in the lounge, - therefore sleeping 6 maximum. It has gas fired central heating and double glazing. The kitchen has a gas hob and oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer. In the comfortable lounge there is a flame effect electric fire, a 32 flatscreen digital TV, a DVD player and sound system as well as a Wii for you to use.

There is a toilet/shower room with heated towel rail and an additional toilet, attached to the master bedroom which has the benefit of spacious storage, a king size bed, TV and clock/radio. The smaller (children's) bedroom has twin beds, digital TV and DVD player.

Free Wi-Fi has recently become available. All gas charges, electricity, water, bed linen and duvets are included in the charge made.

There are patio doors, which open onto a roomy decked area where it is possible to sit outside and enjoy the Cornish sunshine. The position of the caravan is very close to the reception area, shop, launderette and drying area.

River Valley Country Park is well situated to explore West Cornwall. The towns of Penzance, Helston, Camborne and Hayle are all within easy reach. Penzance/Newlyn is famous as a maritime and fishing centre and for the Newlyn School Of Art in which local fishing scenes and people were often depicted. Helston is associated with the 'floral dance' and nearby Is Flambards Theme Park. The Camborne area is particularly linked with mining history heritage and the famous Cornish inventor Richard Trevithick.

Places of special interest include Lands End (18 miles approx), St Ives - home of the Tate Modern Art Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum (10 miles approx) and world famous sites of St Michael's Mount at Marazion (3 miles approx) and Minack outdoor theatre at Porthcurno (15 miles). In recent times the coastal area between St Ives and St Just in Penwith has been used as locations for the "Poldark" series due to the atmospheric and well-preserved mining sites at Geevor and Botallack, and the Nationat Trust has completed the restoration of Godolphin House (5 miles).

Slightly further afield are the County town of Truro and Falmouth, home of the National Maritime Museum and Newquay the Surf capital of the UK. For those who want to enjoy the waves closer to the site the beaches at Praa Sands (south coast) or Gwithian (north coast) are probably the best - both about 10 miles away. Other great beaches at Marazion, St Ives, Porthcurno and Sennen and dog-friendly beach at Long Rock near Penzance, but our favourite is the closest at Perranuthnoe (3 miles) as it is small and compact which made it great for our children. Walkers can choose which bit of the SouthWest Coast Path they want to sample and details of local walks are easily available at the site or local shop at Goldsithney.

We also try to leave details of local hostelries and restaurants at the caravan (and site reception is useful here). West Cornwall is well served by local food and drink producers and providers. Maybe, try sampling as many pasty producers you can during your stay (we have our favourites but we're not telling)? For us, fish and chips in Penzance or Newlyn is a "must" followed by an icecream from Jelberts in Newlyn - they only do vanilla but there's always a queue at their only outlet! Then you can drift a mile or two along the coast to Mousehole (Mowzle) home of the famous Mousehole cat, and Stargazy Pie?!

Detailed information of local amenities and places of interest can be found in the caravan and at the site reception.
