Liked: We had a fantastic two nights stay here surrounded by a beautiful orchard, which the children loved exploring. The place was totally to ourselves, which felt really safe and comfortable. The shop on site was great for Bacon rolls, Coffees and fresh homemade cakes and sausage rolls. Fantastic and friendly hosts. Great location for exploring Dartmoor and the surroundings.
Disliked: Not as much a dislike as a suggestion. The only toilet on site is a portaloo, it is pretty wild camping there, which we love. Maybe an on site compost loo would be a nice addition...

There is one portaloo and clean running water. The place is beautiful
