Adults-only farm site 10 minutes from English Riviera beaches
Outdoor haven: trails, tors and moors of Dartmoor within 30 minutes
Minibus service and fully licensed restaurant and bar on site

When the choice between beachy hols on the English Riviera and lush wanders in stunningly scenic national parks leaves you dithering, make your decision a doddle with a stay at Widdicombe Farm Touring Park, a family-run and adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from the seaside town of Paignton on the Devon coast. The site's about 15 minutes from the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and half an hour from Dartmoor National Park, so there are plenty of spectacularly green vistas to hike, bike or drive through within easy reach – not to mention waterfalls, river banks and craggy moors... If the first thing into your suitcase was a swimming cossie, you’ve packed well for this particular getaway: Paignton’s Preston Sands beach is less than 10 minutes away (there’s a shuttle service from the site). If your quick sandy stroll seems to be picking up speed, turn it into a long-distance jaunt by accessing up the South West Coast Path at either end of the beach. There’s a small shop on site for groceries if you fancy bringing picnic supplies on your day trips, or you can hold off for a home-cooked dinner at Poppies, the on-site restaurant (open from Easter to September). After that, wander over to Gordon’s bar for a drink, or to take in the live entertainment.

Liked: Very pleasant and relaxed site. We had issues with the control entry system but they did their best to resolve it.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Getting here is simple and with the benefit of no narrow laves to navigate well, it's a doddle. Glad you found it easy. Your patience with the barrier is appreciated. See you again soon.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Adults only, NO KIDS! :D Very friendly and helpful staff in reception. There is a nice bar and separate restaurant. A mobile Pizza man visits one night a week and hand baked to order, Fish and chip van another night and BBQ at the weekend . Good enough that I added another 4 nights on to my original 3 night booking, after the first night on site. Very good facilities. Moderately useful WiFi available- for a price.

Disliked: Wi-Fi kept dropping in and out, frustrating at times as it costs £11 a week.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So far this season we've had several guests adding on extra nights to their original booking. There is so much to do in the area and also finding that you are able to make use of and enjoy the facilities on site is always a bonus. Sorry you experienced a problem with the WIFI provided by Skylight Broadband. I will let them know you had a problem.

Local attractions

This is Agatha Christie country, so if you’re looking to solve the mystery of what to do during your hols, you're sorted here too. Make your way into Torquay a 15-minute drive away for the Agatha Christie Mile – a walking tour of spots that inspired the author – and Kents Cavern, a prehistoric cave that served as Hampsley Cavern in her novel The Man in the Brown Suit. For a glimpse of Christie’s personal life, Greenway House at Brixham is where she spent summer and Christmas hols. If Greenway House whet your appetite for stately homes, zip along to Compton Castle (five minutes) for house and garden tours, or Cockington Country Park (10 minutes) for strolls around the extensive grounds and a glimpse of Cockington Court (now a craft centre). Not enough? Venture further afield for Coleton Fishacre, Buckfast Abbey and the 16-sided A la Ronde, all within 35 minutes. There are plenty of museums, steam trains and model villages nearby to keep history buffs entertained, but those who prefer more of a living and breathing experience should pad over to Paignton Zoo (within 15 minutes) instead.
