Glamping pods on a quiet camping and caravan park in the Cornish countryside

Book yourself in at Polborder Glamping and you’ll have nabbed a glamping pod in glorious Cornish countryside. These two timber pods are part of Looe Country Park, a caravan and camping site a couple of miles from Cornwall’s south coast. And there are plenty of reasons to recommend the place. The neat pods are one; the immaculate facilities, great location and consistently lovely staff are others. And then there’s also the good reputation that this independently-owned site has been building for upwards of 50 years.

Looe Country Park is small and peaceful, welcoming just 20 touring caravans or tents at a time alongside five statics and, of course, the two pods. The pods represent a great-value way to stay for a couple or a family of three – and dogs are welcome too. You’ll need to bring your own sheets, duvet and pillows – but everything else is here. It has a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. It’s even got a TV. It’s glamping, for sure, but has a firm focus on function over fashion. The solid roof keeps you dry, the heater keeps you warm but there’s little by way of unnecessary decoration. It’s yours to personalise – or not. You may find you don't have time as we predict you'll be out exploring every day.

This location, just under three miles from Looe, makes that easy. It's about a mile from the South West Coast Path and has plenty of beaches nearby. Choose Millendreath sands for somewhere that’s family friendly, Seaton if you want a swim and Hannafore if you’re taking the dog. There's seafood and Cornish fishing traditions at Looe harbour, adventure at Adrenalin Quarry and a monkey sanctuary down the road. Incredibly, all this is within five miles of your neat little glamping pod at Looe Country Park.

We stayed in the pod for two days with 2 small dogs. It was exactly as described on the website, very clean and the bed was quite comfortable.

Great experience , would recommend to anyone who would like to experience glamping , showers/ toilets clean . Will definitely book again.

From the host

The pods offer comfortable and warm accommodation with all the fun and excitement of camping in a well-run park. Nestled between Looe and Downderry in the gorgeous Cornish Countryside yet only a short distance to the family-friendly coastline. Walk along the invigorating Cornish coast path or just relax and watch the world go by.

Nearby attractions

Polborder Glamping pods are based on Looe Country Park Caravan and Camping Park. It’s just under three miles outside the seaside town of Looe with its harbour, little banjo-shaped pier and beaches. East Looe beach is protected by the pier with sandy patches at low tide. You can join glass-bottomed boat tours, browse the shops and eateries or head out on walks on the South West Coast Path from here. A popular route is the five mile walk west to the idyllic fishing village of Polperro. Alternatively, you can drive there from site in about 15 minutes. There’s no shortage of beaches to visit in the area: Millendreath (which is walkable from site in about 30 minutes), Seaton, Downderry, Hannafore and Talland; all within five miles of site. Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is one of the closest family-friendly attractions to the site, less than two miles away with Adrenalin Quarry a close second. It’s four miles from the campsite and has lots of adventurous activities for all ages from an aquapark to zip wires and a cliff-top swing. The edge of Bodmin Moor is 10 miles north of site with Golitha Falls a good place to head for in hot weather with its cascades and woodland walks. It’s not far from Siblyback Lake where there are opportunities for watersports. The Eden Project is 25 miles away.

Food and drink

There’s a little on-site shop with milk, bread and other basics for sale. For more than that, head up the road to New Bindown Stores in the village where there’s a small grocery store. There are more convenience stores in Looe (just under three miles) as well as independents including Pengelly’s on the harbourside where you can buy just-caught local fish and seafood. The closest place to eat out is Coddy Shack, a seafood and steak restaurant in the rustic surroundings of a farm between the campsite and Looe itself. There are plenty of eateries in the town – ask on site for the latest recommendations. Outside of Looe, the Inn on the Shore at Downderry is a favourite serving a good menu of pub classics and bistro-style meals overlooking the beach.
