River Valley Country Park

This caravan is a well-equipped 2 bedroom mobile home - it is the same size as 3 bedroom models but we let it on the basis of 4 guests maximum sleeping two in the main bedroom (king sized bed) and two in the small bedroom (twin bunk sized beds) - sleeping taller people in the latter is not impossible but we wouldn’t consider it ideal - this allows for more personal space and distance we feel. Also in the light of COVID we offer discounts for couples and/or two week bookings and will spread our bookings out in order to minimise risk, also we can reassure guests that the van will be comprehensively cleaned between bookings and fresh bed linen provided. Guests will be asked to follow some simple procedures to again minimise risk of infection, details of which will be provided, these will be common sense and certainly not onerous.

The van has gas fired central heating and double glazing. The kitchen has a gas hob and oven, microwave, and fridge-freezer. In the comfortable lounge there is a flame effect electric fire, a 43 inch Smart TV, including Netfllix and DVD player.

There is a main shower room with toilet, and an additional toilet and washbasin attached to the master bedroom - which has the benefit of lots of storage, and a king size bed. The smaller (children's) bedroom has twin beds.

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 spacious plastic decking area where it is possible to sit outside. 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 “surfing 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 can be found at St Ives, Porthcurno, Sennen and the year round dog-friendly beach at Long Rock near Penzance. Our favourite is the closest at Perranuthnoe (3 miles) as it is small and compact which makes it great for 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 try to leave details of local hostelries and restaurants at the caravan - West Cornwall is well served by local food and drink producers and providers. Detailed information of local amenities and places of interest can also be found at the site reception.
