What customers say
This is a well-maintained, clean site with private pitches, praised for its excellent on-site pub and friendly staff. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally reported as clean and modern, with disabled facilities noted positively. Its convenient location for exploring Dartmoor and major routes is a significant advantage. Minor concerns include limited toilet facilities when busy, occasional road noise, and some reports of a sewage smell. A double-booking issue for one visitor led to disappointment. Overall, many visitors highly recommend the site and plan to return.

Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)
Liked Well kept pitches with high hedges between them. Level site. Grass area for children to run about. Clean toilets & showers. Laundry also. Handy being by the Inn for food. The food is very nice and served quickly. Staff lovely. Easy to get to Dartmoor & other towns. WIFI if in the Inn.
Disliked There is road noise but not too noticeable if in a van or caravan. An awful smell around outside the toilets. Worse in gents. One toilet & 2 showers in male & female washrooms. could be a problem unless in self contained unit. No WIFI signal on the campsite.

Good
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)
Liked We Liked location and the privacy of the pinches was very nice and quiet at night. Also the pub being close id you do not want to cook.
Disliked The toilets where not very clean and they smelled unpleasant, the smell came across the top end of the site if you were close to the toilet. This was a shame as the site is nice. we would consider coming again as the problem with the toilets could have been a one off or asked for a pinch away from the toilets.

Ok for a stop-over….
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)
Liked The pitch was amazing and in fact, was the best thing about the site…spacious with nice privacy hedges all around. Convenient stopover for us on the way to Cornwall from Wales.
Lovely pub that does breakfasts with lots of outside tables.
Disliked There is only one toilet in each ladies/gents (one disabled outside) and two showers which isn’t really adequate for the site. There is a really bad sewage smell that wafts around and is quite off-putting when eating your dinner!
The site felt ‘hemmed in’ with a busy road and no access to the river or anywhere to walk really.
