Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)
Liked: lovely quiet, laid back site, in a rural, farmed valley spacious gently sloping field with pitch where you feel happy ethos. Clean large facility block with plenty of hot showers and hot water at the taps. Ideal for families (room to run and play area) hikers, cyclists etc. The perfect location for exploring South Devon, close to beaches and stunning coastline, English Riviera towns, steam railway and boat trips. Helpful Owners family farm so local knowledge, swimmer, walker, own guide to beaches. Good phone, data connectivity for those unable to suspend their disbelief that independent self reliance is possible. Just a nice place to unwind.
Disliked: It rained and my tent leaked, hardly their fault, but did help resolve problem, thanks again.

Disliked: It is basic - there free showers, but not much room in cubicle so clothes, towels etc will get wet. Nothing else to add

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked: Reasonably quiet. Has friendly staff, free showers and anytime check-in and check-out
Disliked: Toilet facilities were very basic. Showers, although unlimited, has nowhere to keep your dry clothes etc away from the shower water apart from two door hooks, leading to spray etc hitting bags/clothes/towels/shoes. The lights in the toilet block seem to be on all night long whereas perhaps a motion-sensor controlled light would be better. This, we believe, may lead to flying insects coming in through the permanently open door and making cleaning more of an issue than it could be. Perhaps a revamp of the toilet block could be considered to reduce the number of toilet cubicles and to enable enlargement of the shower cubicles?

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked: Site was pleasant, situated within easy access to Torbay area.
Disliked: There was a large group of people (adults) behind us with families and they were loud until 12 and after and then started again at 6am. Also they had a dog tied up barking ALL day Saturday so much it became hoarse. On other sites there would have been a warden who intervened to ask them to be a little more responsible or to suggest they walk their dog and be quiet at the ends /start of the day. I will go back - just hope they aren't there !!
