If you’ve ever wanted to own a campsite in Cornwall, this could be your chance, as Trewan Hall haș gone on the market.
The 36-acre site is situated in St Columb Major and previously featured in our Top 100 Sites Guide in 2023, when our readers voted it as being among the best motorhome sites in Cornwall. The campsite comes with 150 pitches with electric hook-up and also includes a Grade II listed manor house.
The best motorhome sites always offer plenty to see and do in the area too. In the case of Trewan Hall, guests will have a number of destinations to explore, including the beautiful market town of St Columb Major, which is within walking distance of the site, while popular surfing hotspot Newquay is nine miles away. The campsite also sits only 4.5 miles from the A30 and half a mile from the A39, while Cornwall Airport (Newquay) is around five miles away.
The campsite itself, which has been owned by the same family since 1961, offers a range of facilities for guests, including a heated outdoor swimming pool, shower blocks, a shop, dog walking woodland, a children’s playground, and EV chargers.
The Grade II listed Manor House includes seven apartments, while other buildings on the grounds include a four-bedroom detached farmhouse, a four-bedroom detached bungalow and two two-bedroom holiday cottages.
Knight Frank has been appointed to oversee the sale and is looking for offers in excess of £3.5m, with Matthew Smith, Partner, commenting: “Currently operating as a multi-faceted lifestyle business, Trewan Hall really is an exciting opportunity for a new owner to further utilise the 36 acres, and we are of the opinion the business will appeal to an array of buyer profiles to include first time entrants seeking a hospitality business in Cornwall, holiday park owners looking to further develop the site with additional accommodation, and exclusive-use owners seeking an elegant Grade II Manor House for weddings & events.”
“After 64 years in the same ownership, this is a superb opportunity for a buyer to capitalise on the increase in domestic and international visitors to Cornwall, with the future opportunity to potentially expand the accommodation and amenities on the site.”
While buying a campsite for £3.5m+ may be beyond many of us for the moment, we’re still likely to be staying at one or more this summer. If you’re still choosing which campsite to visit, you may be wondering how essential hook-up is to the touring experience – we’re on hand to help, as we explain “do campervans need electric hook-up?”.
