“Not anymore from my recent experience of bad food, dirty beach and the hassle of trying to use a machine that makes you feel like Big Brother is watching your every move to fine you for even more money. Last visit to this part of town I feel!”

Another user slammed the “heartless, money grabbing private parking company” who “ruined a beautiful beach”, while a second warned others not to park there and said they would “not be back back to Cornwall as this place ruined the holiday as they were on a very tight budget’.

At the bottom of the list of counties with the dirtiest beaches was Lancashire, with none of its bathing spots achieving a three-star ‘excellent’ cleanliness rating.

Holiday Park Guru’s Robbie Lane said: “We’re hoping to make a real splash in the papers with the launch of England’s first ‘Brown Flag Awards’. Congratulations to our 13 winners this year – you really are among the best.

“We just hope they’ll take up our offer of a free brown flag, although I’m afraid we can’t afford to provide a mast as well. On a more positive note, high praise is due for the 273 beaches in England with the best rating for water quality – including 72 beaches in Cornwall.”
