  • Peaceful pitches on a Devon farm, 20 minutes' drive from Dartmouth
  • Half an hour's walk from Slapton village, beach and nature reserve
  • Dogs welcome: walks nearby and a grooming salon on site
Coastal strolls, countryside strolls, pub strolls… Pittaford Farm Holidays is in a prime position for folk who’d like to get out and about on foot on their Devon holiday. Stride straight out onto footpaths and bridleways from this peaceful farm site, getting you out to the village of Slapton (and its pair of pubs), Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve and Slapton Sands in half an hour or so. Naturally, this is all pretty heavenly for dogs as well, so feel free to bring four-legged family members along for the ride to snuffle along the local paths. If they’re looking a little shaggy around the edges, hand them over to the expert dog groomers on site, who’ll relieve them of any errant twigs and tangles and restore them to their smartest selves. The vibe at this site is a proper countryside one – the closest neighbours are the horses next door, and there are splendid views both by day (over the fields and hills) and by night (up into the starry skies). A level grass play area has plenty of space for knocking a ball about, with football goals for those who’d like to spend some time honing their striking skills, and pitches are big enough for evenings spent barbecuing or cuddling up around small campfires. All the basics are in place close to the pitches – guests have access to a toilet, hot shower, water supply and a washing-up area, along with a freezer to keep ice packs sorted.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Really beautiful campsite, my partner and I really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come again! The amenities were great, two small fridges and a freezer which was so useful to keep our food and drinks fresh. The toilet (3) and shower blocks were always clean and stocked up and really made us feel comfortable during our stay. The showers (of which there were 2) was really big with good water pressure and temperature control if you wanted hot or cold. The hosts were really helpful and you can purchase wood directly from them and use the fire pits provided. Lots to do near by and overall a great place.

Route directions

If towing a caravan or larger motorhome, you cannot drive through Slapton, and must approach from the inland side. From the A381, turn off at Stanborough Cross (signposted to Slapton), then follow this road straight ahead until you reach Dittiscombe Cross. Turn right, go past Dittiscombe Equestrian Centre and turn left at Alston Cross. The site is halfway down the hill on the right (look out for Scruffy Pups signs).

Local attractions

You’ll want to start by sauntering off to Slapton – the village is packed with pretty houses, and beyond it is a good mile and a half of shingle beach. Pick up the South West Coast Path here for a lengthy amble, or set out for Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve to follow trails around the lake and through the woods and marshes. More beach? That’s easily done – the folk here recommend outings to Blackpool Sands (15 minutes’ drive), Mill Bay (half an hour) and Bigbury (half an hour), among others. Soft sands and all sorts of watersports await in the seaside town of Salcombe, or you could hit Dartmouth (25 minutes) for boat trips and seafood suppers. Take a break from the coastal wanders and head inland for days out meeting meerkats and watching falcons fly at Woodlands Family Theme Park (15 minutes), or eyeing up all the exotic beasts at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park (35 minutes). If you’re not tasked with supervising small family members, perhaps stop in for samples at Sharpham Wine and Cheese or Calancombe Estate Vineyard (both half an hour).
