What customers say

This is a well-maintained campsite with private, spacious pitches, appreciated by many visitors. The on-site pub is highly praised for its excellent food and friendly staff. Facilities are generally described as clean, though the limited number of toilets (one per gender) is a recurring concern for many guests, particularly during busy periods. Some also note road noise. The location is convenient for exploring the local area.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)

Liked Location was easy to find, not far from A38 or Dartmoor.
Good sized pitches with privacy courtesy of the hedges between each one. Definitely welcome.
Site was quiet and clean, staff were very friendly & helpful. The pub is great.

Andrew B.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Liked my stay but be warned if coming off the A38 and using Google maps it may try and send you over a hill next to the pub and caravan site where the road is extremely tight and there is only enough room for 1 car or a small caravan..

Disliked The WiFi was very poor and I know it's a location by choice and the TV signal isn't very good but if you have a night in, you are relying on the WiFi to give you a signal to watch some films..
Very good overall nice and clean including toilets and showers but 1 cubicle per gents and ladies isn't very good..
Also the barrier system for entry/exit needs looking at..
A code system for entry exit would be preferable to buzzing the Pub, because when it gets busy, it can take a long time for somebody to open the barrier..

Michael G.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Good pitches , nice and friendly staff

Disliked Only one proper toilet in each mens and women's then there's portaloos two showers in each could do with a refit . Food on first night really good but Sunday dinner wasn't the best I ordered the trio and got 3 small pieces of meat + no mash or stuffing on plate I asked and they brought it out when I nearly had finished my meal .

Would stay again despite a few small issues.

Liked Great size pitches. Each have a large hedge in. between top ensure privacy.

Disliked Not enough toilets for the amount of pitches. Porta-loos available but they stink if you are near them. A couple of the staff members in the pub we found were slightly rude and unhelpful. Others were fab.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Loved the pitch sizes - we are self contained so no problems. Pub food was good too. Location was great for what we needed.

Disliked Lot of road noise. Facilities weren’t appropriate for the size of the site - one wc and two showers for over 25 pitches. We were lucky and could use our own facilities as they were occupied.

Local attractions

You can barely turn a corner in this part of Devon without coming face to face with a stately manor – Bradley, Compton Castle, Greenway, Castle Drogo, Coleton Fishacre, Cockington Court, Torre Abbey and Dartington Hall are all with 45 minutes’ drive, and a visit to the spectacular 16-sided A la Ronde, 35 minutes away, is highly recommended. Tipplers might like to make the trip to Buckfast Abbey outside Buckfastleigh (10 minutes), though you won’t be able to do tours or tastings at the factory. If the Abbey doesn’t get you steaming, head to the South Devon Railway and climb aboard the vintage train, or abandon alcohol-related puns altogether and head to the Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary. Fawlty Towers fans will be keen to learn that Torquay is less than 30 minutes away. Although you can no longer visit the real-life hotel behind the comedy, there’s plenty to keep you entertained: follow the Agatha Christie Mile to get a glimpse of some of the spots that inspired the murder mystery maven, dive below the Devon coast in the prehistoric Kents Cavern, or play giant at Babbacombe Model Village.
