Liked: We loved the quiet and calmness of this site, the facilities were well equipped (under floor heated shower block was lovely!) and always plenty of hot water. Brilliant dog exercise area that our cocker spaniel enjoyed. The wardens Rob and Linda were so welcoming and helpful. We used this campsite as base to explore some of north Dartmoor’s Tors and it is also within easy reach of Okehampton. We would definitely book again!

Liked: Linda and Bob the wardens were really friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we were okay. We had a lovely grass pitch (Holly 2) Very clean and tidy site. Husband enjoyed the fishing
Disliked: It was a shame the field hadn't been cut in the dog walk as this would have been a brilliant addition

Liked: How quiet it was, the little envelope that’s left for you in the reception area with everything you need to know, the sort of enclosed dog area with poo bin so you don’t have to walk to the main bin, acres and acres of land to walk, showers were excellent with lovely toilet cubicles which were lovely and warm. Upon arrival we couldn’t find our envelope so I called Paul in the number provided who kindly told me where it was, it was finding underneath 2 Amazon parcels that had been delivered so I hid the parcels for him and found my envelope.
Disliked: The payment system, in the envelope at the bottom where it states how to make payment, there are 3 options. To pay cash, by card or bank transfer. I opted for bank transfer as before we started doing anything I paid the money and didn’t have to wander anywhere as we arrived at 6pm and were hungry. As my partner was setting up I drove to Lidl (5mins away) for some sauce for our burgers and I got a call from my partner saying Linda had wandered over to him and asked him to pay for the pitch as they hadn’t received anything. As I arrived back to our tent I was in the middle of cooking and Linda approached us and asked us for the pitch back (I was a bit taken back as I paid over an hour ago) I did show her my online bank statement to prove payment had been made. Linda did say she would double check her end and I also said that I would head over to her in the morning before we leave to double check. We stayed the night and Linda headed over to us in the morning to say it was an error their side and my payment was received. What I didn’t like was the way we were approached and were asked to give the pitch back before even speaking with me after my return from the shop. Linda is a lovely lady and we settled the issue in the end but I would advise to go and find someone to pay directly to them to save the hassle.

From the manager: Hi, the only reason there was an issue with payment, was because you booked the same afternoon as arrival, so there was no way of us collecting payment before arriving as we would normally do so. This is the only issue we have with letting Pitchup customers book the same day as arrival (which is why alot of sites don't allow this!), but we do our very best to be flexible. I apologise that we asked for payment, but in this day and age, especially on a one night stay, if we don't, customers tend to disappear in the morning without paying! At no point however, were you asked for the pitch back - we have never, and would never do this. (There must be some confusion or misunderstanding on this matter, and Linda was most upset when reading this). I am glad that you enjoyed your stay, and hope you will come back! Many thanks, the team at Appledore Park
