“We have stayed on this site over the past few years...”

★★★★☆

written by XzavierO'Connell294 on 17/08/2014

We have stayed on this site over the past few years and have never experienced anything other than a lovely stay. The site is well maintained, the people who rent their van to us are lovely and can't do enough to ensure your stay is comfortable. The site is close to padstow and within a couple of miles, less in some circumstances there are a number of fantastic beaches. The site is a good option for families but if there is one area that could be improved it would be the provision of more amenities to keep children entertained. All in all though a lovely place to stop and ideal if you want to escape the frantic pace of modern day living. The local shop is well stocked if a little up on price compared to a supermarket but that's the price you pay for convenience. The pub next to the shop is busy and provides good wholesome food. I would reccomend this site to anyone.

“Don't stay here if you have a family and want any sleep!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 10/06/2014

We stayed here during May 2014. First night kept up until 3am by an idiot in a close caravan having a party and playing loud music. We didn't dare go to speak to the individual as we could hear them telling others complaining to f off! Day two same again until the early hours. Day three overheard said person bragging about growing cannabis in his caravan! We went to speak to the reception on a number of occasions but it was always closed. Spoke to the lady in the cafe next door who indicated that this was typical behaviour of the individual. Decided to leave early in the end due to lack of sleep and fear of being broken into. I wouldn't recommend staying here at any cost!

We are sorry for your negative feedback; could we please ask which caravan you where staying in, as we would like to investigate this matter further. As you may, or may not know, our site is made up of private caravan owners, some of whom rent out to holidaymakers. It would help us greatly if you could identify which caravan you rented.

Regards

thank you for your review. We would like to let you know that over the last couple of years we have been listening to feedback, and over the winter just gone have carried out a major refurbishment on the bar/ clubhouse and converted it to a Cafe Bistro/ Bar.

Please see Facebook for info.

“lovely site”

★★★★★

written by shiba0000000 on 21/08/2013

I stayed for a week here, someone was advertising their static and prices where cheap so went for it with the family. Can honestly say it was lovely. It is quiet, clean, small clubhouse, crazy golf, shop fine and chip shop good. I would love to go back and will do at some point as beaches nearby where amazing. Lots to choose from and we also had nice day at padstow which is local to. Its not buzzing with bright lights and amusements, although there are a few in a room but we didn't bother with, but if you are after cheap holiday getting back to basics kicking a ball round with the kids or paddling in the sea its perfect.

“Absoulutely disgusting”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Kelbadhams on 15/04/2013

Hired the gate house, the carpets were filthy, mattress stained, cold, damp, mouldy, cracks filled with tissue, radiators falling off of the walls and the smell was that awful we left the following morning only as we could not find somewhere the same night. We were appalled with what we had given to us, to rent such a horrid place was just disgusting. Most definetley would not recommend to anyone. Don't waste your time and hard earn money on such filth!

“this is an ok sit”

★★★★★

written by on 02/04/2013

over the days me and my family have stayed it has been fun their is a beach close to the site and shops i would recommend this to anyone. the shop on site is good. but the new trip meter they have put on dose not allow you to have alot of electrical appliances in because it causes the electric to trip. the caravans are nicely spaced apart not like on other sites we all had great fun so i hope to go again soon.

“GREAT SITE,VISIT EVERY YEAR.”

★★★★★

written by janey1962 on 18/03/2013

I was shocked to read the not so good reviews,we have been visiting this caravan park for years,and have never had a bad van,we usually pay to get a silver or gold van and it is still great value for money,it is near to great beaches and padstow,and half the price of some nearby parks,i have stayed at others but maribou gets my vote.The family are great and always helpful.Yes i like luxury and with the gold vans you get it as far as caravans go,so why pay over 1000 pounds for the same van on a snooty park when i can use the money saved for meals out etc.My family all came last year and the only reason they are not going this year was the weather,but we are returning in may and are looking forward to it.

“Avoid”

★☆☆☆☆

written by louisag on 26/11/2012

We went here a few years ago and were horrified to realise that it was one of the tatty sites we had laughed at while looking around campsites on a previous visit to Cornwall. I wish we had noted doen the name at that time, Ok, here's the good bit....the caravan was clean. The site was rough and dirty. The family who run it were unhelpful. My clothes smelled of chip fat after using the laundry's washing machines. Later in the holiday i saw a member of staff washing out the washcloths from the pub and chip shop - stinking rags only fit for the bin. The lady in the shop was unfriendly and wouldn't give us change for the washing machines, which were more expensive than other places i've been The raucous"entertainment" went on till one o'clock and after that the site took a while to quieten down. Kids ran around unsupervised in the dark field while their parents got drunk. We were also kept awake by the occupants of the caravan next to hours Their car was parked between their caravan and ours and they kept blasting out the car radio at loud volume. The site was scrappy and uncared for, with empty flower beds full of dead grass. The outdoor toys were ancient and dirty, with bottles and a condom strewn around. Litter everywhere and just a nasty wee place. Please avoid like the plague, unless it has changed greatly since we were there.

If you went there 'a few years ago', and hated it so much, why has it taken you so long to review it?
We have been going to Maribou for 7 years and would not stay anywhere else in Cornwall. I think you are describing somewhere else.If you stay in a caravan, you have to expect some noise from other campers.
Next time, stay in Scotland..better still, the outer Hebrides might suit you. Maribou is friendly, clean, brilliant helpful staff, great family entertainment, excellent facilities, amazing location and value for money! DONT avoid!! You will have a brilliant holiday here :)

Written on: 26/02/2014

This is rubbish, maybe a competitor???? I went on holiday here with my family for a week for a "cheap holiday" i loved the site and the local beaches so much i purchased my van in october last year. Its quiet, very very clean, has chip shops, pub, amusement room, entertainment/bar. I love it, its not blinging with lights and slot machines like others i have been to in the past but i liked that and didn't spend so much money as spent most of our time on the amazing local beaches. Please please please ignore above it really can not be true.

Complete rubbish I lived there for 3 years I did the entertainment and wouldn't work at a holiday park that you described, so you obviously have the wrong site or planet.

“Great find - great value for money - family site -”

★★★★☆

written by MikeAliamelia on 10/02/2012

We cam across this site whilst looking for a caravn site.the site is an excellent family run place and the value for money excellent . The whole family run the site and will help you whatever the problem. Yes it's not top of the range but what iyou get on site and it's location near great beaches is far better than other sites charging far more for less ! The caravan was spacious and very clean with kids play areas . It located near st meryn which is an excellent Cornish village And all within a few miles of the best beaches in Cornwall Ignore the poor review as this is an excellent site and very affordable during these difficult.

“We'll be back”

★★★★☆

written by mauricevanessa on 29/07/2011

we love cornwall & always will, we have been visiting the area for quite a few years with the kids & now just the 2 of us. We found that Maribou is not high end, but clean & tidy.At present the caravans are being upgraded & we were disappointed that the caravan we usually stop in had been replaced, but when we got there we found that the one that we had been allocated was much larger & better. The site has entertainment in the club house which cater for children. It has a games room for the kids to play in.there is also a Laundry room. close by is a pub, indian restaurant & convenience store. We always find the staff friendly & helpful.The site is a good base for local attractions. The area has several beaches close by,our favorite being Harlyn Bay. We will be back next year.

“terrible place”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 31/05/2011

when we first pulled onto the nice part of the site we were impressed, then you come to the end and into Maribou, and all i can say is that our hearts sank, was like something back 20 years ago, caravans green, broken down cars that had been there years, old toilets outside some vans that had had new ones in, my husband and daughter were gutted, no facilities unless you like rough looking ones, and now i know why they chose to not have it officially rated, the kids tiny park had used tampons in the grass,and paint peeling off everything, take my advise pay a little more for something better, we dreaded going back each night, so glad weather was good so we literally just slept in it, the van next door seemed to have a bloke, more like a hermit that lived there,not a nice site, spoiled our holiday and in the end we came home 3 days early

agree this is rubbish, we went on holiday here for a week with my family, fell in love with the site and purchased a van a year later. Its is very clean, family run business near some of the best beaches in cornwall. Lovely play are and mini golf thats free, tennis courts, dog excercise area and people just chilling in the bar. Check out my caravan pics on my facebook page and see for yourself

“This site was rather amazing it is a quite yet up beat...”

★★★★★

written by on 21/09/2010

This site was rather amazing it is a quite yet up beat site were people and staff are friendly and you can have a laugh with all the people on the site which is very nice to know. The cafe was amazing as it is cheap and lovely homemade food which is amazing and love the taste of a good old home cooked meal. I recommend people to vist this site as it is very lovely st merryn is only a mile away and tescos is about 4miles away and the nearst shopping place is newquay which 7miles. I enjoyed my vist very much and would defentily go again.

“Very odd little site. It has some very rough edges to...”

★★★☆☆

written by Presterjohn on 02/08/2010

Very odd little site. It has some very rough edges to it but is still used by some obviously wealthy people (when it comes to owned caravans at least).It is a park within a park and when you go through the posh park into Maribou you may think you have gone 20 years into the past. They don't seem to have a time limit on the age of caravans so quite a few are very tired and green with age others or very expensive and modern looking. All the staff we came across were very grizzled and rough looking but could not have been more helpful. The facilities are very basic it has a pub, a small out of date arcade and a basic but cheap takaway (chicken nuggets and chips for £2.00). The main selling point for this site is its location. It has several great beaches within a few minutes by car and Padstow and a fair sized Tesco are all within ten minutes by car. Maybe we were lucky but we found absolutely no loutish behaviour or over the top noise and for that matter I don't think we bumped into a single person wearing a football team shirt for the entire week we were in St. Meryn.
