Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: The view
No em va agradar: Greeted by a lady very rude unhelpful condescending didn't use any facilities as not giving anymore money to this person already wasted nearly 500 pound on pitches. Never entertaining going there again

Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: second time we have stayed at this beautiful campsite, clean facilities, fantastic views. each pitch comes with a fire pit which is a nice addition. close to the coast which was great for our trips to Beer and Lyme.
No em va agradar: It’s a working farm( clear in the description) so if you are a light sleeper like myself be prepared for loud animal (cows) noises throughout the night!! sounds obvious but I didn’t take it in to consideration, and strangely didn’t hear anything first time!

Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: Very chilled, quirky in a nice way, great that they allow open fires (responsibly of course). Good breakfast, great cider
No em va agradar: Camped up next to road and it was surprisingly busy, so quite a lot of traffic noise, but not enough to bother us in campervan
Was a very friendly site. Fridge …

Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: Arrived could not find nobody then found bell. Told them was a neck breather stuck up in far corner so had to walk right across field to get water. Pitches just long grass small little number and so everytime you walked in grass feet were soaking wet no pitches as such.toilets average cob webs everywhere. Restaurant good .
No em va agradar: Long grass no pitches as such looks like it was just open field stuck these tiny numbers on a post hard to see and flys everywhere
Good morning, thankyou for such an interesting review. Following instructions on booking takes you to the bells.
We are a working farm ,not a park so we are all multi task. We are pleased you found the restaurant good.
.With any medical issues that require help from us it do need to be written into the special request box on your booking form. Had you requested help with anything we could certainly have arranged it.
Your nearest water tap just inside the main gate(there are 6 around the site) was a short distance away.
With a 7 metre caravan we assumed the corner pitch would suit you as its slightly larger.The grass may have appeared long but is regularly cut with Gerald spending at least 3 to 5 hours every very week cutting with the tractor and mower. But of course with a constant turn around of campers its difficult to cut all. Pitches have their numbers along the back in a central position with yellow and black marker bars on the perimeter to indicate where your neighbour begins. 25ft square (7.6 m sq) per pitch but in your case it was bigger as a corner pitch. We are very strict about positioning and space for all. You are the first to comment in 30 years that the numbers are too small but we will look at this, we do want them to be unobtrusive.
Campers should expect grass to be damp with dew, and use boots or heavy shoes, and enjoy the early morning beauty of the countryside and wildlife. So flies are around, totally out of our control. We are an organic farm and as such no sprays are used and wild life encouraged. The setting is unique which most people love and enjoy.
Kind regards,
Gerald , Pam and team.

Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: Really quirky, lots of space, lovely people. Liked having the breakfast/lunch and a bar on a couple of nights. Working farm and they serve their own beef, steak was delicious. They were very helpful staff and our stay was lovely. Close to multiple East Devon beaches.

Tradueix (A través del Traductor de Google)Em va agradar: The owners were nice and friendly. Had breakfast in the tearooms which was very nice. Other meals we saw looked good
No em va agradar: Pitch was on a slope which made pitching the awning difficult. The toilet and shower block are a bit primitive and basic. Could also do with a few more toilets although i did use the ones in the tearooms also.
Friendly staff, lovely location and great facilities.

Loved the bar
Loved the barn area
The views were amazing
Great spot
Owners were lovelyNo em va agradar: Pitches were quite small with cars in there at the top field especially of vans are parked long ways. But that’s a small point.
Good morning,
Thankyou for making the time for an excellent review.
Pitch sizes are all approx 7.6 meter sq (25 ft sq ) with marker bars. We have noticed this year people are arriving with kit getting bigger & oversized rigs. We will review the situation for next season, but making pitches larger equates to less availability for all. A problem we will attempt to resolve for 2024.
We do hope to see you back again one day.
Pam & Gerald.
Good afternoon, thankyou for your very interesting review, but one to be ignored.
Check in times, opening /closing are in place for a reason as we all multi task depending on the time of day.
Sorry but we cannot open the flood gates and do checking in whilst cooking and serving lunches.
Kind regards
