Liked: Peace and quiet. Relatively easy to find and very kind owners let us check in exceedingly late due to traffic. "Check in" was find a spot and enjoy. Really simple. Great local tips available. Would recommend the swim spots!

Liked: Not sure, it was a field with limited facilities. Steph was lovely as was her daughter.
Disliked: The style of compost toilet. There were two toilets, both deep holes on the ground with what looked like a toilet above. It was challenging for my children as was the very limited washing facilities. I booked last minute so perhaps was not clear on what I had signed us up too. Not the fault of the site but the weather was awful on our second to last night which confirmed that we needed to avoid another night.

From the manager: Hi Aiveen, I’m sorry that your children found things challenging. As described, it is a rustic camping site with basic facilities - a hot shower, three sinks and two compost toilets (this is a typical style of compost loo). The bonuses are that it is a beautiful natural, quiet site only used for a few weeks a year, with fantastic views of Dartmoor, dark night skies and not far to towns, beaches and the moor! It was unfortunate that the windy, wet weather made things more difficult during your stay and I hope you haven’t been put off camping in the future.
Perfection for us

Liked: We absolutely loved our stay at farleigh, we love to camp and small quiet campsites where we can have a fire and the dogs can relax without being on top of other campers. The facilities are great, clean compost loos and a lovely hot shower.

Liked: Lovely quiet location, and exactly as advertised, hosts were helpful and pleasant. The owners young daughter did a lovely job of welcoming me. Facilities were very clean and in very good condition. No light pollution so views of the night sky were amazing.
Disliked: Some of the pitches can be a bit more exposed and windy in bad weather, but I was there in September so to be expected and I did have the option to move to a more sheltered spot. I extended my stay so it wasnt anything that put me off, just worth noting when you choose your pitch if the forecast isnt great

Liked: Location was just a mile from the pub, and it was a good pub for food and drink.
Disliked: Unfortunately the showers were temperamental and we did not end up using them as they were not working when we were ready to use them. The small roads around the site were very busy so not great to walk on without getting involved in traffic. For a remote location that was a shame.

From the manager: Thanks for your review. Unfortunately there was a small glitch with the shower, which was an error not caused by us, and we did let you know as soon as it was fixed (within 10 minutes). I’m sorry this affected your stay. In the summer months this is a fairly busy part of Devon and I’m sorry the lanes weren’t as quiet as you had hoped.
