Great site fishing1230 (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: We stayed here for the first time. the camp was really clean and there was plenty of space. we ate here a couple of times and had the Devonshire burger and the Hawaiian burger. Both were excellent value for money and very tasty. We also had breakfast one morning which again was very tasty, freshly cooked and good value for money. Disliked: not all entertainment/ bars open.i understand it's not peak season but would have been nice to have a choice of where to have a drink/food. |

great clean friendly park richardgilyatt (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: This was are first ever break with our new caravan, the pitches are very spacious and well laid out the toilet/shower blocks were the cleanest ive ever seen on a campsite and the staff were all very friendly and very helpful. We took are dog and the woodland walks and dog field were plenty big enough to tire him (a 3yo lab!!) We used the pool which again was very clean and safe. The soft play area and games in the bar were very handy whilst having a drink. We didn't eat in the restaurants so can't comment on that other than the prices seemed high but if the quality is as high as the rest of the park im sure it would be worth it, but for us the onsite fish and chip shop was top notch. Disliked: The price for a pint of peroni, although the staff did warn me before pouring! |

A proper family friendly holiday debbiecroxford (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: We have been to Cofton many times and it never disappoints. The children love the activities like swimming (indoors and out) the play areas and visiting the horses. We love the walks in the woods and just relaxing in the sun beside the motorhome. It is not far from our home yet we love just packing up on a whim and going for a short break. Absolutely ideal for us with children and very wheelchair friendly too so all the family get to enjoy the fun. Disliked: Wish the shop sold or hired childrens DVD's so if you forget to bring your own you can keep them amused until the rain stops. At the moment there is nothing like that for sale. |

Overall a great break out of season Adam S. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: A selection of facilities were still open and the walks were great to go on around the site. The staff were very friendly and couldn't fault the camp site. Disliked: There was only 2 groups in our selection of caravan and for some reason the owners put the new arrivals right next to us instead of one of the other 6 caravans, sleepless night was had due to their noise and with a 2 year old it put a bad ending to what was a good break so far, as we came out of season to avoid getting disturbed by neighbours.
From the manager...
Glad you enjoyed your break overall. Its a shame the family that arrived on your last night disturbed your final night. Our booking system automatcially allocates caravans but we will put more thought into this in future so as to spread people out during quieter times. |

Liked: great toilets and showers Disliked: went in November caravan pitch's muddy could do with making them hard standing.At end of stay could not get caravan from pitch due to mud had to wait for 4x4 help.
From the manager...
Thank you for submiiting your review. We have had a very wet winter and as a result our grass pitches got quite sodden. During December 2012 we have upgraded our hardstandings as well as add a further 6 pitches giving us a total of 22 hardstandings and 14 super pitches now. |

Good Site now for families with young children, but don't neglect the old customer base which loved the site because it wasn’t too commercial Richard_B1 (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The location, facilities, the size of the pitches, friendly staff, tidiness of the site Disliked: Their needs to be an adult only bar (Coften Swan) where adults can have child free time, and use the new bar facility/complex for families, as at the moment children are allowed in all the areas. |

Brilliant family holiday! Nick M. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Professionally run site. Very clean & well maintained. Fantastic facilities. Even treasure trail & nature walks for the children. Added bonus of free bouncy castle & 'Wild West' themed day - lots of fun. Disliked: nothing to dislike really. |

Liked: Clean bathroom facilities Disliked: Pitches and road can become muddy when it has been raining.
From the manager...
Thank you for your review and pleased you found our new indoor pool amazing. Unfortunately we had a lot of wet weather this August and this has meant some areas got muddy, this was purely down to the relentless rain we experienced and soon dried up when the sun came out. The rave close by was something out of our control and seemed to be an impromptu event that we had no warning of. It was not an authorised event and despite informing the police it was not a simple task of just shutting it down. I apologise about the lack of hot water in the shower this is something we could have rectified had it been brought to our attention. We look forward to welcoming you back at Cofton in the future. |

over priced, nice area Siobhan F. (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: I like the location being close to small woodland walk. Also the anchor and ship pubs close by are worth a visit. Disliked: The overflow field was too far away from any amenities and we had to drive to and from the showers/toilets to get to use the nicer facilities as the showers/toilets for the overflow were really dirty and grotty(pre-fab building). If the price represented this I would have been more accepting however we had to pay 67.50 GBP for a 3 night pitch of a very small 2man tent, which would be approx. Way over the odds; however I thought as it had a pool, lakes and woodland we would pay the extra. Well, what can I say, this place is more like a Butlins than a country holiday park. We were really disappointed in both attitude of the staff and the facilities. I feel like we paid far too much for this weekend pitch and would not recommend it to any friends or family. Also worth mentioning that on the Sat night of our stay there was loud music all night long into the early hours of the morning; meaning we couldnt sleep. We left on the Sunday instead of our original plan of staying until Monday. Absoultely could not have been more disappointed with our stay. |

Very friendly staff and site really clean. Julie A. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The site and amenities were very clean even though there was a lot of mud around due to the not so good weather. Disliked: Only 1 small niggle- could not find many dog bins around. Hedge was covering one.
From the manager...
Thank you for your comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry you felt we were lacking in dog bins, we try to not put too many around but ensure they are on the main walkways. We will review this though to see if an area could benefit with more. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cofton in the future. |

Excellent, clean and well managed site!! Cei D. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Plenty to do for all ages whatever the weather. Despite there being a bar and it being a large site, it was always quiet and people were very respectful of the time. I am pleased to see the owners have no intention of making the entertainment into a late night club. Well stocked shop and fabulous new complex including a great family pool. The toilets and showers we clean and mostly very modern and the grounds were beautiffult kept. A great base to see the area, lots of local walks (especially down to the beach) and superb cycle paths to local points of interest. Will definitely keep it on the list for future visits. Disliked: Sometimes slow service in the cafe but think this may due to staff unfamiliar with the appliances due to the newness of the facility. The 3 day passes for the indoor pool must be used on consecutive days and therefore cannot be spread out for your stay. |

Booked grass pitch, as all that was available MICHAEL M. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The fishing, surrounding area, clean toilets, unfortunately no entertainment so can't comment on that. Disliked: Cold showers, muddy pitches (got stuck twice), not told where to pitch, when they know the site better than us. Several others got stuck in the mud as well when the site was supposed to be open.
From the manager...
Unfortunately due to the weather the grass pitches do get a little waterlogged. We are considering putting more hardstandings in and then just letting these out in the winter to avoid issues with people getting stuck in the mud. Thank you for your comments and we look forward to welcoming you at Cofton again in the future. |

Liked: The facilities and the site itself were great, the staff are very helpful and friendly. Everything was clean and as you would hope it would be. The kids had a whale of a time and lucky for us the weather held for the whole week!!!!! We will probably be back again and choose our pitch more carefully. Brilliant keep up the good work. Disliked: On site chip shop wasn't the best I've had or the cheapest.
From the manager...
Thank you for your fantastic ratings and positive comments. Sorry the chip shop was not up to standard during your stay - this is a franchise but it is important that food meets customers' satisfaction. The A379 is close to the front field - being a large park though, there are other areas away from the noise of the road. We did start excavation work in late August - this was starting work on our new complex which we will be excited to unveil in 2012. We will look forward to welcoming you at Cofton again. |

What a beuatifully laid out site, with ample spaces on the pitches. Karen D. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Loved the fact that we could choose our own pitch and thence all amenities were close by but far enough away not to bother us. Great shop and bar/restaurant. Disliked: Unfortunately we had not realised that my daughter would need ID. Might be a good idea for the brochures to have that in bold when advertising the licensed bar. However, the staff were very helpful in trying to resolve the problem....... |

Liked: Cleanliness, children's play areas, heated pool, friendly staff, reasonable prices in shop. Closing time of clubhouse at 11pm. Woodland area. Disliked: No policing of noisey neighbours.
From the manager...
Thank you for your list positive comments. We do have security on site every evening during peak season until the early hours and they do their best to keep on top of late night noise. The current bar complex is currently being extended and we are looking forward to a larger bar complex as well as added facilities such as an indoor pool, larger arcade, soft play, gym and cafe area. We hope this will be open in time for peak season in 2012 however some facilties might come later. |

Fantastic family friendly holiday! bg2128 (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Spotless showers and toilets. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Stunning views. Laid back atmosphere. Central location. Great for children. peaceful and relaxing ,even in peak season. Disliked: Can't think of any really, maybe the showers and having to queue in the morning,but it was peak season and probably down to the time that i went. But it's not a complaint.
From the manager...
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Peak season can be a different experience to what things are like at other times of the year but we always try to offer the same great service. We look forward to welcoming you at Cofton again soon. |

A very well run site not that much for teeagers to do caters more for young children. Rosemary D. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The very clean showers and toilet blocks we had a choice ot 2 very near to us and the staff were very helpful when we asked questions. Disliked: The sleight slope to the pitch as the rain went straight under our tent. |
Facebook Twitter Google Plus |
Liked: Scenary, views, location of campsite. Facilities, pool was clean, heated, The swan pub served great food, great service, friendly staff all round in the shop, reception, bar etc. Myself and the children enjoyed our stay very much and we will be coming back. Disliked: One female life guard who did not appear to be guarding anyone's life at all as she was talking to 3 young girls and had her back to the pool most of the time. The showers cubicles not being cleaned soon enough after early morning showers. Maybe a mop could be left in the shower area for people to mop up any mud, dirt in the cubicles ourselves.?
From the manager...
Thank you for your positive comments. We are disappointed the lifeguard didn't seem attentive, they have an important job and they do take this seriously. Often at peak times we try to ensure we have two on duty. The showers are cleaned a number of times a day. We have taken the point on board about providing a mop and bucket and one is available in all shower blocks for customer use should they wish. We look forward to welcoming you back at Cofton again soon. |

Liked: The falcilities Disliked: some of the entertainment in the pub , rock band was fine but the comidian was poor even after a couple of pints
From the manager...
Thank you for your review. We do have some regular entertainers in the bar and this year we had a couple of nights to fill. One was done with a local rock band which seemed to go down well. The other was a comedian which is something we had not tried before. We soon realised the comedian was not suitable for our establishment and this night was replaced with another act. |

Glad to hear you had a great stay despite the wet weather in December. There was a period that one of our toilet blocks was having a boiler changed during December and therefore there was no hot water in that block however another toilet block was open for hot showers etc. We hope to welcome you back to Cofton again soon.
