An honest comparison of sites local to Newquay
Trevella Holiday Park – An Honest Guide for Holiday Home Buyers
Trevella Holiday Park sits on the edge of Crantock, one of Cornwall’s most loved villages, and offers a peaceful, nature-focused setting that appeals to families, couples, walkers and dog owners alike. With beautiful lakes, open green spaces, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s a park that consistently attracts people looking for a quieter, more relaxed style of holiday-home ownership.
Below is a clear, balanced guide to help prospective buyers understand what Trevella offers — and where it sits compared with other Newquay-area parks.
Season Length
Trevella is open for 12 months of the year.
This gives owners plenty of flexibility for weekend escapes, longer stays, and off-peak breaks without the restrictions seen in shorter-season parks.
Typical Site Fees
(General ranges only — varies by pitch, unit size, and location on park.)
- Caravans: usually in the mid-range for the Newquay area – £7325
- Lodges: higher, as expected, but generally competitive for a Crantock-side location – £8450
Buyers should expect fees that reflect the park’s well-kept grounds, lakeside setting, and close proximity to Crantock Beach.
Facilities at Trevella
Trevella doesn’t try to be an all-action resort; instead, it focuses on a calm, spacious environment. Facilities typically include:
- Outdoor swimming pool (seasonal)
- Two large fishing lakes
- Adventure playgrounds
- Laundry facilities
- On-site shop (seasonal)
- Ample walking routes and cycle-friendly paths
This balance suits buyers who value green space, quiet surroundings, and natural beauty over busy entertainment complexes.
Location & Local Highlights
One of Trevella’s biggest selling points is its proximity to Crantock Beach — one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and dog-friendly beaches.
Local highlights include:
- Crantock Beach (walking distance via scenic route or short drive)
- The Gannel Estuary
- Coastal paths toward Holywell, Pentire and Fistral
- Newquay town and beaches within 10 minutes
- Cafés, pubs and restaurants in Crantock village
It’s a brilliant base for owners who want the feel of a countryside retreat while staying close to Cornwall’s biggest attractions.

- Couples seeking a quieter, nature-led environment

Private Sale Considerations
Trevella remains a popular choice for buyers looking for good value through private sales, especially with the high demand for Crantock and Newquay locations. Many buyers appreciate:

- No pressure from sales teams
- The ability to choose a caravan or lodge that fits their budget without upselling
- Site fee banding is inherited from the seller, consequently a much lower rate than buying directly through the Park
