Daily Mail Holiday to Cornwall?

Hello,

I am thinking of booking my first daily mail holiday. I haven't been to Cornwall before, so can anyone recommend a park there? I've looked at Tripadvisor but the reviews for each park seem quite mixed. I will be going with my partner, my son (who will be three by then) and friend.
I'm looking to travel next march/april.

Currently I am swinging towards Haven Perran Sands. Ideally I would like beach access. I'm not too worried about entertainment as we will use the park as a base, but a heated indoor swimming pool would be nice for my son.

Also, if I don't buy entertainment passes now, will I be able to purchase them on arrival at the park?

Thanks in advance!

    HI

    I went to Haven Perran Sands in june this year.

    We enjoyed it, the site is set in the sand dunes so lots of sand for a 3 year old to play in on the site, the indoor pool is great, with a smaller pool for toddlers as well.

    You can buy passes when you get there but i think they are more expensive. If you will definatley want to go swimming i would buy passes with the holiday - the entertainment is great from 6-8pm for kids in the show bar with character shows for young children.

    Its quite a long steep walk up from the beach, something to keep in mind if you have small children.

    We went to Perran Sands on a Sun holiday and we hated it (although the location was nice). We like Crantock Beach, although there is no swimming pool for the kids. What about Holywell Bay?
