Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This campsite was perfect; a hidden gem in the heart of Devon!
The owner, Rick, greeted us on arrival and we were able to pitch up wherever we wanted. There was only one other tent pitched during our weekend stay, and there was tons of space to pitch up and run around with the dog.
It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. You can hear the sounds of nature and nearby cattle as you fall asleep/wake up. There’s also a beautiful, quaint church one minute up the road.
Each day, Rick came to check everything was ok. He was really helpful and gave us a bunch of recommendations - will definitely have to come back again.
All the facilities were really nice, including well-kept toilets and a shower, and a separate hut with a fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle.
Despite other reviews, we also had no issues getting super fast 5G + service.
100% would recommend.

BEST CAMPSITE IN DEVON!!!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked One of the best camp sites we've stayed on! The owner is so friendly- told us to help ourselves to ice lollies in the freezer and that there was no rush on our last day. Beautiful location. Easy drive to lovely places. Lovely and quiet and the facilities were spotless! Lovely warm showers and clean toilets with automatic lights so not scary in the dark! We saw shooting stars and loved hearing the owls hooting. Next door's dog Rosie was gorgeous! We loved our stay! Thank you :)
Disliked Nothing! Everything was brilliant! :)

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Well-maintained pitch, clean and tidy shower and toilet block. Was welcomed by owner and had phone number if any problems but didn't need it. On the last morning all the taps and shower had frozen solid but I was leaving early so didn't have time to tell the owner. My water in the van was not frozen so not really a problem except I couldn't have a shower.
Very dark site with no lighting at all - great for start gazing but you need a torch to go to the toilet/shower blocks.

From the manager: Thank you for your positive feedback, sorry for the inconvenience caused by the frozen pipes,
unfortunately we had some very hard frosts but have taken on board your comments
Excellent.
