Bona Vista Holiday Park: Site views

General

  • Small peaceful site among the Paignton hills
  • Caravans for hire, all with space for picnic tables
  • Dogs welcome

It's safe to say a bon vista is pretty much guaranteed at this site, as it's set among the Paignton hills with smashing valley views…

Bona Vista Holiday Park has static caravans for hire laid out on a one-acre site, all most carefully sited by the owners to make the most of the surrounding scenery, and with lots of extra little touches by the thoughtful family team. (Tea and milk waiting for you on arrival? Yes please.)

The park is peaceful and car-free (car parking is at the front), leaving a good bit of space around each caravan for picnic tables and lazing about, and all pathways are lit after dark to keep everyone safe and secure. There's a kids' play area, laundry facilities and clothes airers around the site for guests' use; off site, Bona Vista is only a few miles from the beach and close to Paignton Zoo, Quaywest Waterpark and heaps of bon scenic hikes.

And yet more… the Bona Vista amenities have been described by one very happy customer as 'the poshest campsite toilets I have ever seen' and include separate showers and loos for ladies and gents.

Please note

No cars/motorbikes by the pitch/unit. All cars must be parked in the designated area.

The site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (i.e. Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro).

Dogs must have their own bedding and on no account allowed on beds or settees. Dogs must not be left alone in a caravan.

Lovely spot, shame about the caravan and amenities07/08/2022

  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    The view was lovely and the caravan was immaculate and the owner was very friendly.

    Disliked: 

    The caravan was absolutely tiny, nowhere to put any food, toys or shoes so the living room was full of bags all week. No hooks on doors to hang wet towels, narrow shelves in bedrooms - our clothes kept falling off. The shower fell apart in our hands. There was no play area despite what the website says.. just a small gravel area where a caravan used to be with a broken swingball on it…. Our two boys had nowhere to burn off steam outside, it was really hard work for all of us. No Wi-Fi either… such a shame, it meant our only family holiday was cramped, fractious and uncomfortable for the duration.

From the manager...

We are sorry you did not enjoy your holiday. This is a brand new caravan, the size of which is stated on the booking( although does not include the additional decking this particular unit has) and although there are no hooks on doors we do provide a washing line outside the door for your use.

We live on site so would have been happy to fix anything such as the "shower that fell apart in your hands" if we were made aware of any problems.

We hope you find somewhere to suit your tastes for your next holiday.

Great site and caravan. Very good value for money.24/05/2022

Reviewer's country: United KingdomAnonymousMobile phone iconConfirmed

  • 1 bedroom static caravan (no pets)
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Great location. The caravan was very new, fresh and clean. Site is quiet, private and felt safe. Although the caravan could be described as basic it had everything we needed e.g. utensils, pans, cutlery etc, all of which was nice and clean. Heaters and fire all worked well. Great value for money.

    Disliked: 

    Tv on the small side and the signal quite intermittent. Didn’t really bother us though. Not really a dislike but something to bear in mind is the size of the caravan. We hired a one bed as it was just us two and our 7 month old. With the sheer amount of stuff you bring on holiday with a baby it proved slightly too small. I would recommend going for a two bed.

  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    We liked all the little extras in the caravan and soft touches to make us feel welcome and at home e.g. things like tea, coffee, sugar and lemonade on arrival to the caravan. Little bits of cleaning products. The picnic table and washing line which ok we didn't have the weather to use it. And most of all a nice view. The staff were very friendly & welcoming

    Disliked: 

    Didn't like how how close the site is to the main road, because we could hear the traffic in the morning.
