Scenic countryside setting

  • Family-run park on a former stud farm and in a wildlife haven
  • Two and a half miles from the coast
  • Heated outdoor pool, bar, café, shop, takeaway and craft centre
Dithering re which setting you prefer for holiday accommodation – walks in the countryside versus hoofing it to the nearest beach? Try a countryside break by the sea at friendly and family-run Whitehill Country Park. On a former stud farm with converted stables and stone farm buildings, Whitehill is in a wildlife haven deep in the Devon countryside but only two and a half miles from the sands of the English Riviera: guaranteed, of course, to keep all sorts of neigh-sayers happy. Nature fans will champ at the bit to delve into the 40 acres of hill, woodland and countryside around the park, where 130 species of flora and ferns can be recorded neatly in nature-spotting notebooks and where local wildlife abounds: look out for badgers, kestrels, pheasants and buzzards among others. Meanwhile, beach buoys and girls will find the nearest sands only a couple of miles away: it’s but a short drive to the beaches of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, and onto the 20 or so first-class beaches along this 22-mile stretch. On site there's a heated outdoor pool, plenty of play areas, walking trails, and nature all around; the park has won awards for its approach to wildlife management and conservation. Also around are letterboxing opps, a treasure trail to keep the little treasures occupied, and all the cons of a mod site such as a takeaway, café, shop and supping alfresco while watching the sun go down from the terrace at the Hayloft bar. Those who feel artistic can draw and paint in the indoor Shire Craft Centre; table tennis and a pool table are also on hand for indoor play.

What customers say

Top spot! Clean, well-kept, friendly staff. Great facilities, especially pools. Perfect for walks & exploring. Families love the entertainment. A few noted uneven pitches, older showers & some noise.

Powered grass site

Liked Lovely quiet site with so much to offer - onsite shop, arcades, parks, indoor and outdoor pools. We were able to extend our stay for late check out 10-1 and only £10 very cheap and easy to do! Staff very friendly and helpful. Site close by to many different places to explore ! And the dog paddock enclosed was a huge hit for our puppy’s first caravan holiday ! Toliet blocks cleaned continuously - showers nice and hot !

Disliked Nothing bad to say about the site - the WiFi was a little hit and miss but in fairness we were on the furthest pitch away and had it intermittently- most sites don’t work at all!

Liked Good sized pitches facilities quite good nice shop decent prices nice clean bar and food friendly staff, overall a pleasant stay at Whitehill

Disliked Limited shower use apparently doing some upgrades, I would have thought they would done the work in the winter when not so busy, also the approach to the site is very narrow and can be very awkward if traffic coming the other way especially if you tow a caravan

Local attractions

The sights and activities around this part of Devon will suit all tastes: Dartmoor for active adventures, Totnes and Dartmouth for history and heritage – and the 22 miles of the English Rivieria for beaches, watersports, fishing and boat trips. The closest beach to Whitehill Country Park is Goodrington, a mile south of Paignton. After you’ve stretched out on the red sands, there are a few other options to check out: learn about the history of the English Riviera at the free Seashore Centre, pedal your way around the boating lake, or take the kids to the waterslides and pools of Splashdown at Quaywest. The English Riviera is of course also Agatha Christie territory – Greenway House was her holiday home (also where David Suchet as Poirot filmed his last scenes. Sniff.) If you can’t make it to the annual Agatha Christie festival (tsk), amble along the 10 landmarks of the Agatha Christie Mile in Torquay; eight of the sites have clues spelling out the name of a Christie character. Hint: it’s probably not ‘Miss Marple’.
