The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm

Positiv We love this little campsite and have returned many times.
It’s close to the coast footpath. We walk to Torquay with the dog and bus back.
2 pubs close by.
The little cafe above the beach at nearby Maidencombe is a must.

Positiv I liked the amenities and the peaceful surroundings.

Negativ The pitch we had was dry and hard to secure the tent. Although we managed to do it in the end.

Positiv Unique pitches surrounded by apple tree orchard. Very pretty and quiet. Cost is a bargain including electric hookup. Use of microwave, kettle and toaster is excellent.

Negativ Thought someone had left their towel in the toilet/shower room but they are dark grey hand towels for customers to use. I’m sure they are washed and clean put out regularly but I don’t think sharing towels is hygienic. I would prefer no hand drying facilities rather than a used towel.
Pitches are very close together.

Positiv Peaceful and private with stunning scenery. Great location for a walk to Maidencombe beach and the local pubs. Great facilities and everything you could need for your stay. Lovely and quiet in the evenings which is great when travelling with young kids.

Positiv We had a wonderful overnight stay here whilst coast steering with Rock solid coast steering just down the road. The facilities are first class & the pitches feel nice and private. Would definitely stay again.

Positiv Lovely small site with pitches set in marked bays in orchard. Clean and well-maintained toilets and showers. Great touches such as kettle, toaster, washing machine and rotary drier for communal use. Games room.
Good value for EHU though we prefer the option to not have it.
Lovely walks around and close to site - short walk to coastal path.

Negativ Found our pitch(Bramley) a bit small - no room for our awning.
Like the environmental ethos of the site but not keen on shared towels.

Positiv Lovely location with pitches nestled amongst orchard trees which offer a little privacy from the neighbours. Great walking advice from the owner.

Negativ Toilets and showers are a little rustic and rudimentary. Not cleaned until late afternoon which didn't seem to tie in with the 3pm arrival request. We assumed the late arrival time was to allow for house keeping which wasn't the case. Our neighbours from hell (not the fault of the hosts) had left their detritus on the pitch and the new arrivals had to move it all before they could get their van onto the pitch. So nobody had inspected the pitch in between their departure and a new arrival. Also need to be aware that a mother and toddler group appear to have the use of the facilities on certain mornings. Not that they bothered us, but you should be aware of the dual use of the site, which results in quite a bit of vehicular traffic that you wouldn't expect for a 6 pitch site.
