We stayed here in April and booked to stay again on this holiday in October. We booked a dog friendly caravan and everything was nice and clean as last time. It's a small quiet location which we liked so suited us. Caravan had everything that we needed and it was pretty much home from home. There is a pod point EV charger for EV cars which was great. A small dog area in the park and a dog wash by reception. Reception has a small shop which has some good essential items if you forget anything. Staff were all pleasant and friendly. Only really had 2 issues during our stay. The oven broke down during our last day which meant we had to change our dinner plans as we were halfway through cooking. Staff were great and offered to have a look and drive and fix it, but we thought it was just easier to deal with it when we left the following day. The kitchen knives could do with being sharpened though, as i guess they had become blunt over their busy holiday season.…

Property's Favourite Review
Spotlessly clean both the accommodation and the grounds -exceeded our expectations. The team were clearly proud and happy here and were exceptionally friendly and welcoming at all times of our visit. Travelling with elderly parents too was no trouble, and the team offered helpful advice, and great recommendations of local spots to visit too. I would definitely return and recommend to others. Thankyou. A 'shout out' to Heidi in particular for her friendly welcome and chats through our stay.

Some say that it’s the little things that count and that is certainly the case with Parbola Holiday Park. We have stayed at various Lovet sites and all are great, the caravans are spacious, clean and ideally situated, however, the lovely locally sourced biscuits, fresh milk, tea bags and coffee means that you can grab a cuppa as soon as you arrive, which makes all the difference when you have been travelling for hours. On top of this the heating was on, the towels were warm and fresh and the even the locally sourced loo rolls made our arrival so much more welcoming. We will be coming back to stay again and have already booked our third Lovet holiday in 2023, thanks to staff recommendations and local intel on Christmas festivities.

We stayed at Parbola holiday park for a long weekend.The staff were very friendly always greeted you with a smile,nothing was any trouble.Unfortunately the outdoor pool had just closed at the start of the month so we missed out,We stayed in a superior 3 bed caravan and it was perfect plenty of room for the whole family and had everything you needed,nice welcome pack on arrival meant we could have a nice brew and biscuit to relax with after a long journey.The park is well situated for local shops and attractions.We have every intention of staying again in the future thank you to everyone for making our weekend a memorable experience

We stayed at Parbola WC 18 September 2023 for a week. We booked with Lovat as we'd stayed on the Mawgan Porth site before. Extra bonus was getting NHS discount when booking :). The site was beautiful and quiet. Staff were very helpful when we checked in. We needed an iron and there wasn't one available in the laundry room on site but the staff sorted us one and brought an iron and board to our caravan straight away. The caravan itself was amazing, full stocked kitchen with every utensil needed, plenty of plates and cups and glasses. Washing supplies like sponge, washing up liquid and towels. Small jar of coffee, tea, sugar and a small bottle of milk in the fridge. The living area was big and spacious with a big smart TV and HDMI cable which was handy as I took my laptop to watch the F1 and was able to watch through the tele! Bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper, hand wash and body wash which smelt amazing. All rooms were fully equip with bedding, pillows, bath towels and hand towels for each guest and plenty of space of wardrobe space for clothes. The shower was so powerful and warm, I will miss that the most! My only wish but it's only minor and won't affect my 5* rating is that it would have been nice to have a small lamp in the living area in an evening but we just used the one provided in the main bedroom. We didn't use the shop much or have a go on the mini golf and I don't think the Safari tent was open but I'm not surprised as we did go late September and the weather wasn't 100% but there is always next year for that to try :). We're already looking at booking with Lovat again for early next year! Couldn't recommend more! …

We absolutely loved it. The tent was amazing and very well equipped with everything we needed. The site in general had plenty to occupy our toddler but was still really peaceful and relaxing. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We particularly loved the hot tub and we’re very impressed with the shower in the tent! Great location. We booked a return visit before we left because we enjoyed our stay so much.

Excellent glamping experience before my daughter starts uni. We booked a safari tent that was well equipped. Bbq, jacuzzi, rain shower, comfy sofa, TV, kitchen, everything you could need. On a cool evening, light the wood burner and the tent becomes very cosy. The staff were very helpful and the pool, while small, is very nice too. The stone baked pizzas on a Saturday night were excellent quality and value. It is a wonderful location, central to all the hotspots if in a car. And feels like you are really getting away from it all. Lovely. Highly recommended

Caravan was really nice, well appointed and very clean. We had the luxury of a little decking to sit on, so was nice to sit out of an evening, The parking is a little bit tight in some places, and when we arrived in 27,, someone had already parked their car in our space. The vans could do with a small table lamp in the sitting area. Be nice if was child free too during certain times of the year.

We stayed here in June and will certainly miss the place! The caravan we stayed in was spacious, modern and clean. The staff were friendly and the site was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the location, going out on short trips each day to explore cornwall. There is supermarkets nearby which is convenient. The pool is small but pleasant and heated.
