Cofton Country Holidays

Dawlish town.

Complained to management first day of holiday about the fact that there was an encampment of travellers on the site with large commercial roofing vehicles with ladders on. When I questioned the company policy in respect to this, I was told that they weren't aware that the travellers were on site and that they'd look into it. I told them that two months earlier I had encountered a large amount of travellers staying on the slopes along with the usual tag axle caravans and commercial vehicles. I then questioned the overall security on the site which is appalling, the reply was that they had considered installing a barrier. We then spent the next five days stuck in our motor home feared to death that it would be stolen as we were getting long lingering stares from the travellers every time they walked past us. We have been visiting this park for the last 25 years and have noticed a rapid decline over the past five years. The grass pitches were mostly completely bare of any grass and definitely not worth the amount of money being charged in peak season. The place is full of screaming kids who have scant regard for other people's possessions and are running on and off your pitch, kicking footballs at your property. It seems to be full of people who spend £99 at halfords on a tent, don't abide by any park rules and haven't got an ounce of common courtesy for others. The new club is vastly oversubscribed and mostly being used by people not staying on site. When going for a swim, we were told there was a two hour wait and would cost £3 each. When going for a drink, there were young children sat on the bar stools at the bar, taking up adult seats and there was no designated adults area, child free and underage young gypsy travellers gathered around the slot machines drinking. After 25 years patronising Cofton Farm, it's a sad thing but I can honestly say I won't be staying there again. The site overall is a disgrace compared with how nice it used to be ten years ago, all the greenery is unkempt and unmanicured. The security finishes at 2 am. Most sites of this magnitude have a barrier, 24 hr security and cctv cameras.

Had lovely 4days at cofton(which we have stayed many a time before,not in July though), was very busy but got in just before school holidays! Love Cofton always clean and tidy and kept up together and organised, been in indoor pool and entertainment,so all in all a great break.

Having to pay for dogs certain times of the year,chip shop only open till 9pm.

the pitches where well spaced and the site was very clean the staff are very friendly and theres a bus stop just outside on both sides to go to various places the 3 bars are very friendly with an outside pool as well as an indoor pool the entertainment is good aswell as the kids club on the nights there is also a chip shop on site that is reasonably priced the toilets where very clean with a shower block separate from the toilets,

Liked how we were able to pick our pitch within the area we chose. Indoor pool was superb. Outdoor pool was great especially for the hot days. Site is very nice and clean.

Only dislikes was that you can't adjust shower temperatures in the shower blocks, we found the water to be a little too hot.
