Penryn (Y3)

Bijou, boutique and baby friendly sums up what makes The Park brilliantly different from so many of the other family holiday parks all over Cornwall. Instead of row upon row of static caravans, The Park only has a handful of these in one corner of the 27-acres of coastal woodland, putting its emphasis on much funkier options including cubist eco lodges and a Yurt Village for glampers. The Park has been sensitively landscaped to include conversation areas with nature trails Instead of the usual club house, The Park has all kinds of cool things going on throughout the summer at The Pool Bar, like tapas nights, Crab Shack seafood feasts and lazy Sunday afternoon BBQ’s, with background tunes by local musicians. The Pool Bar is also open from 10 ‘til 8 for drinks, snacks and Callestick Farm ice creams so families can settle in for a day by the heated outdoor pool on super comfy loungers and sofas. If it’s a tad too chilly for the outdoor pool, there’s an indoor pool with a separate baby pool, a sauna and steam room. Children can bounce off some energy on a giant trampoline and play on swings, plus toddlers have their own play area and everyone can have fun in The Park’s Play Yurt, filled with toys.

Is there anything cooler for kids than staying under canvas in a Mongolian yurt and even anti camping adults might get the bug for glamping with the comfy beds, a cosy wood burner and Freeview TV. The Yurt Village Cookhouse has a well equipped kitchen and dining area with lockable food cupboards, or families can simply treat themselves to a hearty Cornish breakfast, or gastro-style lunches and dinners in The Kitchen, the Park’s onsite café . Children will be perfectly happy with the Little Ones menu and The Kitchen is licensed so grown-ups can kick back with wine or cocktails on the terrace. If families are looking for a little more luxury than the Yurts, The Park’s Lodges are the epitome of cool, contemporary living, from their striking design and smart furnishings to sleek kitchens and big brass beds.
