We absolutely loved our stay at Ruthern Valley, it’s a peaceful location in the middle of the woods but very well positioned for exploring Cornwall.Our bungalow was clean, warm and had everything we needed for a great stay.

Lovely stay in Pod

Wainwright, Tony - 30/10/2024

We spent one night at Ruthern Valley holidays as a Red Letter Day, in a ‘pod’ or wigwam. It was cosy and very comfortable with an electric heater. We were also greeted very warmly on arrival in the reception/shop - selling very good quality wine- and there is a helpful map of the site, which is set in lovely woodlands. We throughly recommend Ruthern Valley holidays.

Peaceful and relaxing

Matthews, Emma - 24/10/2024

Great campsite, the owners were so accommodating and kept in constant communication with us.They explained we'd need to bring our own camping equipment and bedding.The wigwam was cosy and warm, we didn't expect heating. And we had a microwave, kettle and fridge.A little tip, we took a fitted sheet expecting a mattress but it's a very wide bed and it wouldn't have fit, so take a blanket or an "unfitted" sheet to lay on.It was so quiet and peaceful, we slept like logsI've never seen a cleaner shower block at a campsite, they've thought of everything (take a torch at night)But yeah, when we need a weekend to shut off and recharge we'll definitely be backThank you

Fantastic Relaxing Break

Baines, Ryan - 09/10/2024

We had a wonderful time staying at Ruthern Valley Holiday Park. The bungalow we stayed in was clean and tidy, with great facilities, very quant and wonderfully peaceful. The single track roads were not too bad to get there either, pretty normal for that part of Cornwall so don’t let them put you off! The location is great as well, right in the middle with about an hours drive to coastline in all directions. Will definitely stay again!
