Liked: Lovely spot. Short walk into the beautiful Dartington Hall gardens was a real treat. Parking off the field was no problem and lack of cars gave the place a real relaxed feel. I enjoyed watching a buzzard hunt the edges of the field while I drank my morning coffee. Will definitely return.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The pitch and very peaceful! Dartington is gorgeous and the cinema and festival was wonderful! Plus the cafe was excellent!
Disliked: The toilet and shower block was too far away plus not very clean or easy to use! Also it would be better to have trolleys rather than wheelbarrow s???

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: This was my first camping experience since I was a teenager over 20 years ago. I had a really nice time. Dartington estate is a beautiful place and a great location for camping. The camping field is nice and spacious. The toilets and showers are well looked after and also has separate toilets as well. Soap was provided in the toilets and for washing up and I liked that there is a freezer. The staff were also extremely helpful so would def come back again.
Disliked: The only thing I would change for next time (and this is my fault as I didn't even consider this until the tent was up) is the pitch location as my tent was located right between the showers and kitchen. Unfortunately I had a rescue dog with me -it was his first camping trip as well but he started barking every time someone walked past - child or adult and some parents got a bit angry over this, but everyone had to walk past my tent to get to the showers/kitchen, so I was in a really bad spot. He did have a bark collar on but in the end I had to keep him inside of the tent which wasn't ideal, but he was quiet inside. The kitchen area was also a bit noisy at night so will def ask for a quieter location next time as there were plenty of these on the opposite side of the field.
