Little Orchard holiday village Rocky Lane St Agnes.......
A whole lot better than camping!
Yes its a bit basic...but for the price (equivalent to a camping pitch) you get a whole lot more for your money.
A roof, a shower (if you plump for one of the larger cabins!) a loo of your own...kitchenette ...bed......fridge and tv! Its amazing they've managed to fit it all in as the cabins are not really much bigger than a tent! They are set in a very pretty and peaceful, well tended valley with plenty of space for the kids to run around. And there arent too many of them either, un-like those soulless fields of caravans run by big companies. It's Just a 5 minute trot downhill to the sand and rockpools, and a similar trot uphill to the small town of St Agnes. (2 mini-markets a baker, butcher and fish and chips maker!)
Yes it's so old fashioned it'll probably be the height of fashion one of these days, and it has a games room with a ping pong table, and there's a definite whiff of the post war 'make do and mends about it, but personally I love that they havent shipped in any horrid tacky distractions or stripped the cabins of their original 50s fittings. It's quiet, peaceful ....and excellent value for money......

Summary: Basic good value in picturesque location
