Liked: Really good experience from start to finish. Contacted Mel to ask if our motorhome would fit, and request a late arrival. Received a text on the day of arrival with instructions for the gate, and pitch number. Mel was on site when we got there and was very welcoming. Lovely quiet site, very pretty, quaint. We’ll be back! Thanks Mel!
Disliked: The signage for the site was a little hard to spot, but it is in keeping with the style of the site

Liked: Ideal site for us in a motorhome. Toilet and shower facilities are basic (this is made clear on the website) but we did not need them. The site provided everything that we needed at a reasonable price. The site was quiet and peaceful and an ideal location for exploring Devon.
