Tregoad is an excellent park and worth every penny. We stayed in one of the cottages with two children and our dog. The facilities were fantastic, the new swimming pool is very high quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the views were stunning.

Stories From Our Guests

This really is a beautifully kept park set in a lovely location with views across the hills and out to sea. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and there's such attention to detail, from the very well kept landscaping to little things like the doggy welcome pack in the caravan.

Niall Urquhart

Stories From Our Guests

The caravans were clean and the site well kept. The swimming pool was great and both my girls enjoyed it. The soft play and amusements were great too. The entertainment was decent. We have booked for their sister site, Bowleaze for next year, looking forward to that. I would recommend.
