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.

Well worth a visit for a new campsite
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely tidy site. There was only ourselves and one caravan booked in.
We had a choice of anywhere we wanted to set up so we opted to pitch on the grass area on a caravan pitch and parked the car on the hard standing. The weather was awful on the Saturday with an almighty storm hitting. The owner checked in to see if we were ok as the weather was so bad. The owner also offered us the electric point to charge our phones which was much appreciated.
Toilet and shower was spotless, great hot shower.
In better weather at night it would be a great place to spot the bats and you could hear the owls hooting all around as well.
