Around the site

  • Six-acre farm site with spectacular views towards Dartmoor
  • Meet the farm animals and have a tractor trailer ride
  • Bar and restaurant, toddlers' play area and games room for older kids
Old MacDonald had a… Parkers Farm? Herd your fledglings here to meet Douglas and Jimmy the donkeys and the rest of the herd: ponies, lambs, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, ducks, chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas and cows all live on Parkers Farm Holiday Park, right in the middle of the south Devon countryside with quacking great views towards Dartmoor and a 12-mile drive from the coast. (Naturally, dogs are welcome too.) Farm fans can milk their holiday for all it’s worth with free tractor-trailer rides around the site and farm walks to meet, greet and feed the menagerie (on a Monday, Thursday or Saturday during English school holiday periods only); safe play areas and six acres of fields are available for the kids and dogs to go free range at too. Off site, the farm is near a flock of other Devon animal attractions: Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo and meeting the ponies of Dartmoor are within a quick drive. The Parker family have run the farm as a holiday park for over 60 years and know the ropes in keeping guests relaxed and a-moo-sed: Miss Piggy's bar and restaurant dishes up home-cooked and well-cooked meals as well as takeaway, and has evening entertainment during the school holiday periods. (Dogs are welcome, too.) In the bar and restaurant, there is a soft play area for toddlers to let loose in, while older kids can play in the games room with video games and pool tables. Guests also have access to the stacks of clean and up-to-date facilities: two tiled shower blocks with free hot showers, two big family rooms, well-equipped disabled facilities and a large area for washing up and prepping vegetables. Other amenities include a shop, a launderette, free ironing facilities, an information area and an ice pack service. There's also an on-site breakfast catering van to tend to hungry tummies every morning during the high season (and only at weekends during the low season).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you found our site clean.
We do, however, feel it is important to clarify a few points. We can see that you stayed with us for just one night, on Bank Holiday Sunday, when the park was completely full. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, and also highlighted in our welcome email, WiFi can be less reliable during particularly busy periods. Our WiFi is provided completely free of charge, whereas many other holiday parks charge an additional fee for this service.
With regards to the comments about noisy dogs in the bar, I personally worked in the bar on Sunday evening and can confirm that no complaints were raised with me at the time, nor did I hear any excessive noise from dogs while I was working. Had we been made aware of any concerns during your stay, we would always have been happy to look into them and do what we could to assist.

Really good value and good amenities.

Liked A great site had a lovely warm welcome from Viv and Steve who where very helpful and friendly.fantastic for kids. I came with my granddaughter who's 8 and she loved seeing the Animals around the park and she had the choice of 3 play parks to wear her out nicely. The views are wonderful too.
The showers and toilets were nice and clean and it was nice to see good disabled facilities too. We didn't go in the clubhouse this time as we were only staying the night, but it looked nice with a good menu available.
We will definitely be back again.

It’s fantastic to hear that your granddaughter had such a great time! 🐐🐰 We love that the children can get up close to the animals and enjoy our three play parks, and we’re glad they kept your 8-year-old entertained! 😄
We’re also really pleased that you found our toilets and showers clean and appreciated the disabled facilities. It’s great to hear that you liked the views too — we’re very lucky with our countryside setting.
Hopefully next time you’ll get the chance to try out the clubhouse and enjoy some of our food!

Liked Nice site , lovely staff and great value clubhouse that serves good food.
Pitches are massive and the security barrier gives great peace of mind.
The sandwich waggon is very good great coffee and milkshakes.

Disliked Showers and toilet block a little tired but serviceable and mostly clean. Bit remote but obviously not the owners fault.

We’re also glad you appreciated the size of our pitches and that the security barrier gave you that extra peace of mind during your stay.
Thank you for your honest feedback regarding the toilet and shower facilities. We appreciate you mentioning that they were clean and serviceable, and we’re always looking at ways we can improve and update our facilities.
As for the location, we’re certainly lucky to be surrounded by the countryside and understand that this can feel a little remote — but hopefully that also helps provide the peaceful atmosphere many of our guests enjoy! 🌿
Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the farm again in the future! 😊

Local attractions

You might be all of a dither trying to decide which Devon attraction to visit first, as coast, country, active options and peaceful pursuits are all near Parkers Farm, whether you prefer off the beaten track or more famed areas like Dartmoor National Park. Beaches first? Your pitch is a paltry 12 miles from the Devon coastline and the seaside towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. If you’d like to cram as much activity as possible into one area, Dartmoor National Park's your spot: start off with horse riding or pony trekking from one of the several stables (the park has different areas marked off for different levels of rider). More urban(e)ly, Exeter, Newton Abbot and Ashburton are close to hand too if you fancy some shopping, a dip in Ashburton’s heated outdoor pool or a small flutter at Exeter Racecourse on the Haldon Hills.
