Smart family-run park within Woodbury Common
Easy drive into Exeter
Excellent facilities including bar, bistro and play area

They say an Englishman’s (motor)home is his castle – so when choosing where to brake, you’ll want a spot fit for a king. Castle Brake Holiday Park in east Devon should pass muster: it’s a smart, family-run park within the heathland of Woodbury Common, ideally placed for an invasion of Exeter and the sought-after sands of the Jurassic Coast. The facilities are splendid: a spotless, cedar-clad amenities block with underfloor heating and family bathrooms; a laundry room; the Castle Inn bar and restaurant for homemade nosh using local ingredients (takeaways are also available); a play area; and ample space for a peaceful stroll and a bit of wildlife spotting. (Please note that the bar and restaurant are not open every evening during low season.) Castle Brake Holiday Park is within half an hour's walk of the village of Woodbury, which has a handful of good pubs and shops, or it’s an easy ride into Exeter for anything else you might need.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Sunny open aspect of our plot. Good size. Nice friendly feel. Others were less lucky in the shade, on one of the touring plots. Showers and toilets very clean and warm with underfloor heating.

Disliked: Bin area needs to be better labelled so you can identify and separate rubbish/recycling. Pot holes to pitches were quite big!

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Great set up, clean, extensive facilities (individual site taps etc) and wonderful location. Really friendly staff

Disliked: Food order was poor at the on-site pub. Ordered food for outside table and went to check after an hour as they said there would be a delay, ended up being taken as a takeaway and was sat under hot lamps. I had to ask for it to be brought to table as was struggling with drinks. It was such a shame as just dried up. No apology offered just that it was ready and would have to have as a takeaway

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Wonderful staff and beautiful food in the restaurant. Some great views of the estuary and sea from the top end of the site and close to some great walks. Access to the sister site which is huge and has incredible facilities was a bonus.

Disliked: Potholes. We arrived and they had just resurfaced the access road so had to pitch overnight in a different part of the park. Unfortunate and if they had advised us the day before we would have delayed by a day. Our fully serviced pitch had a literal uphill battle draining our caravan but the other side of the field wouldn’t have had this issue. Pay per use wifi £20/week.

Local attractions

Six miles from Castle Brake Holiday Park are the red cliffs of Budleigh Salterton and the family-friendly sands of Exmouth, gateways to the glories of the Jurassic Coast. A little further along the coast is Sidmouth, which features ravishing Regency architecture along its sweeping esplanade. Whether you’re a culture hound or an outdoorsy creature, there’s plenty to do within easy reach: exit into Exeter, an attractive cathedral city brimming with museums and historic sites, or delve into Dartmoor, for more remote adventures. For splashy and screamy fun, a wilderness woodland, indoor and outdoor adventure play areas, farm animals and more, head to the Crealy Great Adventure Park, a mere four miles up the road from Castle Brake. Or try the World of Country Life, which has a petting zoo, indoor and outdoor rides and slides, vintage steam engines, museums and events as eclectic as welly wanging and the six nations ferret races...
