Camping pod
Liked: Stayed in a camping pod which was excellent. Great field with lots of space. Really well maintained site. Super warm pool which the kids love. A very dog friendly site. Spacious entertainment area. Good access to Dawlish Warren and the beach.
Disliked: The toilets weren't cleaned regularly enough for peak time and they couldn't flush well enough. 2 out of the 7 were out of order and at least another 2 were blocked at any one time. The shower rooms are entirely wet rooms so no bench or dry area to get changed. No recycling at all which is disappointing for a site of that scale. The pool and entertainment was a long way from the camping pods.

Camping pod
Liked: Facilitators and the surroundings and the caravans. Absolutely, lovely Clubhouse, lovely.
Disliked: Dislike was the showers for the camping pods. Absolutely, disgusting. One toilet door was smashed with broken toilet toilet roll holders off the wall. No toilet roll, no facilities to put your clothes. When you get showered, your clothes got wet. Toothpaste on the wash basins toilet roll on the floor. No plugs for you to wash your parts. Men's toilets was worse than the ladies. Toilets, I had 2 boys and a husband what was not happy special. My little boy he didn't want to get in the shower. He says they were so smelly.

Camping pod
Liked: The camping pod itself was clean and had fairly comfy beds.
Disliked: The pods were too close to each other meaning you had no privacy. Unfortunately we had noisy neighbours who at 7.30am decided to drive their van outside their property and play music. Also the toilet and showers were filthy. I watched one camper empty her portable toilet into the sink! Half the toilets were dirty and had no toilet roll, when you found one with toilet roll, as you pulled the paper down the whole front of the unit fell on you. The toilet/shower block really needs updating in my opinion.

Camping pod
Liked: Great pool. Restaurant and entertainment for the kids was good. They also loved the little arcades bit! Onsite shop had all we needed. Women's shower block near our pod was clean and tidy (the cleaner we met and she was an absolute joy). The pods themselves are great and good value for a base. Fab location close to Dawlish Warren.
Disliked: Our pod was a bit dusty and had some cobwebs hanging around! Some of the lighting fixtures were also hanging off and not working properly. Men's shower block was dirty. Wifi cost. We stayed last year too and had much cleaner pod.
