A note from the site themselves...
Polmanter has been in our family for over 50 years, and we still live on site with our family today. What started as a few pitches on our farm has grown into a five-star park that still holds onto its roots, with the same relaxed atmosphere and pride in looking after people.
We feel incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Cornwall, and love being able to share it with our guests. Many families return to us year after year — and some who once came as children now bring their own. That's what means the most to us.
We're proud of the team around us, many of whom have been with us for years, and we like to think guests feel part of that wider Polmanter family too. Whether it's your first visit or your fifteenth, we hope you feel right at home.
