Skern Lodge

Positiv: Travelled with my 6 year old son. The camping pod is warm, spacious, dry and comfortable, with incredible views and on site activities that can be booked. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and really helpful about the local area. We will definitely be returning, and next time booking more of the on-site activities available.

Positiv: The place look nice, we love the pods and the area. A suggestion to put at least portable tables to each pods which can be tuck in under the beds. As when you wanted to have a tea or coffe and some foods there is no available table in the pods.

Negativ: Only we don't like is the toilet for shower is too far. I can see some shower with the same colour of the pods looks like dedicated for the pods but not being use. It is ashame they are just there, locked and not being use. Rather we were instructed to use the showers which are located far from our pods. The value for money is 3 start only due to this reason.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Raymund, Thanks for taking time to review us. It is a very fair review and you are absolutely right, the new shower block was installed last year to serve the pods in exactly the way you describe. We were made aware over the winter of a water pressure issue on the mains, which meant the showers were not being served enough water flow and consequently they were burning out. We have just had the water company install a bigger feed and meter from the mains onto our land and we are 2/3 of the way through hooking the showers back up. The weather has meant this was delayed as access to the fields have been near on impossible due to the heavy rain. We apologise for the lack of explanation when you arrived, as this, i am sure, would have made the reason for not using them make sense. We are glad the rest was up to scratch and we hope to welcome you again in the future. (Nice idea of the folding table too!, we will explore this) Best wishes Rich Centre Manager.

Positiv: Clean toilets and showers, not overcrowded, nice views, polite and friendly staff.

Negativ: Lack of lighting near the washing up sinks. Somewhere to dry hair… wether it be a plug socket or on the wall hair dryers. Would love to see an outdoor hose with a drying room for wetsuits.

Positiv: Pod was great and contained everything we needed such as bathroom, small storage area, kettle, with tea and coffee sachets. Beds all had duvets and pillows. The site was great with very clean shower facilities and lots of activities which needed to be pre-booked either online or in the site reception. The outdoor swimming pool was a favourite of our children. The village of Appledore is beautiful with a museum and small shops and cafes. The children loved crabbing off the harbour. The seaside area of Westward Ho is a couple of minutes drive away and has a small amusement arcade, cafes, pubs and a few gift shops as well as a beach which is great for body boarding/surfing.

Positiv: An absolutely wonderful stay. Can’t recommend the pods enough! We had an 8 pod but just for the two Of us, and it’s was brilliant. Having a private toilet in the pod was a game changer :)

Positiv: Close to beach and (clean) toilet block. Reasonably priced. Staff were very helpful (they let us park there for one night while we bike packed to a different campsite along the Tarka Trail). You can pick where you pitch.

Negativ: The road that runs past the campsite is used frequently with lots of acceleration which made it a bit noisy.

Positiv: Lodges were warm and beds comfortable.

Negativ: No kitchen facilities or even a surface to put items on. Lots of the door mechanism on the showers didn’t work and the showers were out of service and a bit dirty. The pool was only available if prebooked and £40 a session with lifeguard. The greeting was basic with no explanation of where facilities were placed. The views were lovely and lots of space.
