Widdicombe Farm Touring Park

Liked Clubhouse really good. Good entertainment and venue.
Hot showers and they are proper showers not push button.
Nice staff on reception who are helpful and welcoming.
Lovely food in Poppies.

Disliked The site is looking tired and the pitches are looking scruffy.
The showers (bluebell field) were not that clean.
Dogs in the clubhouse should just not be allowed. There is no need to bring them in there. It's bad enough listening to them barking on pitches!
Thankfully Poppies has 2 separate areas for dogs and without!

From the manager: Thank you for saying so many nice things about your experience here. I'm afraid it's been very hard maintaining a lovely look on the park when the grass is all dried up and even some of the trees are changing colour already. Hopefully, on your next visit it will all be lush and green again looking nice and tidy as usual. Regarding dogs in the bar, well, we too have an exclusive dog friendly area designated for those that want to bring their well behaved dogs in the bar with them. We also say no furry friends in the bar on entertainment nights so we are trying to meet everyone's needs but we know we are not going to be able to please everyone on this matter. Sorry if you had an issue on this occasion.

From the manager: You are incorrect when you talk about us giving you false information regarding a government ban on BBQ's. We did not state this on our information to guests. We simply said that following advice given by the Caravan & Motorhome Club to members on fire hazards during the heatwave period, we asked guests not to use live flame equipment outside or BBQ's as this posed a significant fire risk during the extreme heatwave conditions. We appreciate that cooking outside is a huge part of the fun and experience of camping/caravanning and you may have missed out on that. However, safety of all our guests, staff and the fact we are surrounded by tinder dry farmland meant we took a measured approach minimising the risk to all.

Liked Absolutely love staying here. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely welcome to guest's and dogs who get a little doggie welcome pack (nice touch.)
Great showers no push buttons which is great ( very clean ). Entertainment and games in Gordon's bar almost every night. Lovely food at poppies also take aways available some nights.
Nice size pitches with electric hook up, if you have one of the top pitches there's a lovely view. Most importantly for us a dog field, almost forgot the little fram shop which wasn't there the first time we came which sells lovely fresh veg etc and doggie ice cream.
All in all another brilliant stay.
