About the Area

The caravan is on Trevella Holiday Park; a beautiful and peaceful holiday park which has free facilities for you to use: enjoy the heated outdoor pool; fish at the two large fishing lakes; kids can enjoy the two play parks or have a go at crazy golf.

The holiday park is a few minutes away from Crantock beach in Cornwall, and is surrounded by another 7 beaches to visit in the Newquay area. In Newquay itself there is also a zoo and aquarium.

Cornwall is a very lovely place to visit out of season and you will benefit from cheaper prices and a quieter park. April, May, September and October are especially prone to amazing weather.
