HIGHLY RATED

+ 35 photos

Set in the peace and tranquility of glorious Cornish countryside, Sun Haven Holiday Park is also within walking distance of Mawgan Porth, one of Cornwall's best beaches. It's a setting which promises the best of both worlds, and with tourist hot-spots Newquay and Padstow a short drive away too. There's no club or bar to distract from the tranquility of the area, but a host of dog friendly options are nearby.

About Sun Haven Holiday Park

The park is in the Vale of Lanherne, with views across the valley and down towards Mawgan Porth - just a ten minute walk from the superb sandy beach, voted one of the best beaches in the UK by the Sunday Times. Guests can enjoy a stay in one of the site's family friendly shepherd's huts for four, or a romantic getaway in a shepherd's hut for two. Each of the huts is nestled in its own spacious, private garden area with an awning, BBQ area, hammock, seating and a hot tub, so you will have everything you need for relaxing outdoors! Inside you will find a light open plan space with a luxurious double bed for two, along with bunk beds that conveniently turn into seating and a TV. You will also have a fully equipped kitchen with a small dishwasher, along with a full ensuite including a shower. The park also offers well-appointed holiday homes perfect for family breaks, set on the sloping side of the tranquil valley and looking out over the countryside and woodland. Midway along the north Cornish coast, the park is a great base for a holiday with easy access to all of Cornwall's attractions. Please note, the shepherd's huts are pet free.

Sun Haven Holiday Park is open from 29/03 to 27/10.

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd's Huts with Hot TubSep 2023

This park is a beautiful hidden gem 5 minutes drive from 2 little surfer beaches and easily commutable for the whole of Cornwall. We stayed in a Shephard's Hut with a private hot tub and BBQ and it was heavenly! We seriously considered booking more annual leave on the spot and extending our stay. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic friendly site

Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sun Haven Holiday Park in Mawgan Porth. The team really have thought of everything to make our stay a comfortable & wonderful one. We were grateful to use the beach toy library - a treasure trove of crabbing nets, buckets, spades & even boules! Everyone seemed respectful of the facility & appeared to return borrowed items. The site also hired out beach trolleys to make lugging kit to the beach an easier task. The walk to the beach is around 15/20 mins through a lovely relatively flat woods. Mawgan Porth beach is absolutely stunning. A huge expanse of sand for rock pooling / sand castle building & then amazing waves for body boarding. The campsite was the nicest we've stayed in, facilities were cleaned throughout the day & everyone was so friendly. The children's play park was well maintained & everyone respected the 10pm quiet time. We 100% recommend a visit & hope to return with wider family next year.

Amazing
