Tristram Campsite is situated in what must be the best cliff side location in Cornwall with direct access down on to the beach. The site is made up of three fields, all safely fenced off so it is secure and safe for your family and belongings.

Tristram Campsite, Polzeath sits nestled on the lowering cliff tops down towards the village, on the majestic North Cornish Coastal path.
The sun rises over the village itself bathing the site with sunshine all day long. Lazing on your pitch, after a fun day in surf (five minutes walk away) or a day's exploring, watching the evening surfers, the sun sets, almost always with style every evening. A perfect accompaniment to that well deserved chilled beer or wine and bbq! Priceless!

Two girls on our first trip to Cornwall ended up in Polzeath because we had heard it was a nice area to learn to surf and because there are lots of things to see and do. We keep going back there every year and every year we camp at the farm which sits on the hill over looking the bay. You can easily walk down to the beach from there and the views from the farm are breathtaking, plus the farm has a restaurant that does the best breakfast I have ever had – all ingredients are from the farm. I recommend Surf's Up for anyone learning to surf and although it can get a bit busy in the water it is such fun once you are out there trying to ride a wave. In between surf lessons we would walk along the coast to Rock and have a cream tea while starring out at Padstow on the other side of the bay. Don't miss out on Daimler Bay if you are in the area, voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world a few years ago.
For an exceptional meal in the evening in beautiful settings head 10 minutes up the road to The Mote in Port Isaac, but make sure you book in advance as it gets booked up. If you go on a Friday night you will get a chance to hear the Fishermens Friends singing old fishermen songs acapella on the beach if the tide is down. Can be a truly magical experience.

Mesmear is a farm with a number of barns which have been converted to the highest standard. It is tucked away down a little lane close to Polzeath, Rock and Padstow so an ideal location if you love walking, the sea and great food!
We stayed at The Barn and it truly was a home away from home. So much thought has gone into this property that every detail if not forgotten - the decor is very comtemporary and luxurious and here are some nice touches such as local produce waiting for you for your first breakfast, an honesty bar, yummy toiletries and underfloor heating.
Mesmear also runs cookery courses which you can do in your property which was a lot of fun!
My husband and I found it was the perfect couple retreat, whether it be in the winter when you can stay in and enjoy the wood burner, or in the summer when you can make the most of the location...but it would also be great for families or groups of friends. Try it!
